I love this pump! It is very easy to use and the parts are easy to clean. It holds a charge for a long time and charges quickly. The bag is handy and holds all of the parts. I just wish it came with smaller flanges.

I loved this pump. My children are 10 years apart so I am always busy and on the go to sports fields. This pump was perfect for pumping on the go. It's small and light weight so easy to transport.

I used this pump with my first baby, and I loved it! It was so comfortable to use when she was sleeping and couldn't feed, I used it on the go when we where on the road. It helped my supply stay up, I breastfed for almost 2 years and this helped so much with my supply, I am pregnant again and I really hope to be able to get this pump again! It was comforting to use, suction was really good, it was really great to Use with a pumping bra. Didn't wake my baby. I recommend this so much!

This Medela model is my hands down favorite pump after experimenting with several models. It is lightweight and so efficient, portable, quiet and the battery life is outstanding! Expensive, yes. Worth the money, definitely. This is a must add to every baby shower registry for any expecting mommy!

I love this breastpump. With my daughter I was only able to breastfeed for a few weeks due to her not latching on. And despite trying with a pump I couldnt get enough out. This time around with my son, who is 3and a half months, I got a medela freestyle pump. I use it every chance I get. When he is eating on one side I pump the other. When he is sleeping I pump both. I think being able to do one or both at a time is just fantastic. Its easy enough to use too. Ive been back at work since my son was 5 weeks old and if it wasnt for the fact I have an awesome pump he would be getting formula. I honestly had no idea I would be able to breastfeed for so long. Now im beyond happy and I am planning to go aas long as I can. If you really plan on trying to breastfeed this is definitely the pump for you. Comfort Honestly, I et myself up however and just go. Most of the time I forget im even pumping. I definitely cant complain. Ease of Cleaning Easiest pump i have had. Just a few pieces to clean and theyre super easy to get apart. how can you beat that? Durability Ive had mine for 3 and a half months and I havent had any problems with it or had to replace any parts. And I use it everyday. Versatility Just awesome. Once you try it you wont regret it. Ease of Use So simple. Turn it on, sit back and let it do the work. Breastfeeding has never been easier.

I started using this breast pump almost four years ago after the birth of my first daughter and used it again two years later with my second daughter. I nursed them for fifteen and seventeen months respectively, and I can't imagine not having this pump for that time. I used this pump to help relieve engorgement in the first month as well as to pump and store milk in the freezer. Thankfully, both my girls were able to nurse and take a bottle with breast milk without any trouble, so having the pump really worked to our advantage. I have never used another pump besides one hospital grade one at the hospital after giving birth but I've never had any issues with my Medela. Comfort This makes pumping as gentle as pumping can be. While it's certainly not the most pleasant feeling, this pump is gentle while also being effective. I have been able to turn it up to full power without ever experiencing any blistering or soreness from the pump. Ease of Cleaning I rinse the parts out right away and then put them through the top rack of the dishwasher or in a baby bottle sterilizer. Durability Mine has lasted for almost four years now with pretty heavy use for two kids and I plan to use it with our next due in a couple months now.

Breastfeeding didn't work for me as I had planned. With this breast pump I was still able to give my son breast milk with ease. Also on the plus side my husband got to enjoy time feeding our son as well. Comfort The comfort of the pump was great and made my pumping times quick. Ease of Cleaning Cleaning was quite easy. I did have a few times milk got into the hoses and I'd have to clean those out as well. That takes longer but still quick and only happens with user error. Durability I have used this pump a ton and it's still running like it's brand new. I also traveled multiple times adding to the abuse and it's worked perfectly every time. Versatility the versatility is pretty good with this breast pump. Ease of Use Pumping takes getting used to just as breastfeeding. Once you get used to how the pump works and how the shields fit you pumping gets very easy. I was able to get my pumping sessions fine toned in about a week so that I could get the most milk in the shortest amount of time.

I used this breatpump for both of my boys, now 14months and 3 years old. I am so thankful we bought this pump when my oldest son was born. It is so easy to use and definitely reduces the indimidation factor. I love that it comes with the breastmilk storage bottles and the bag with cooler. It saved me so many times! Comfort Medela has the option of different sized breast shields, if the general one doesn't fit you. Their customer service is great and the employees at the stores sure do help too! I have absolutely no complaints on the comfort! Ease of Cleaning All of the parts of this breast pump are so easy to clean! There are only 4 parts per side to worry about taking apart to clean. There are also Medela steam bags to make it even easier to sanitize your parts. I usually just used boiling water, or my bottle brush to clean everything at the end of my work day. Durability This pump has gotten me through 2 years (1 for each child) of breast feeding and pumping and still is in great condition! It is 100% worth the money! This pump comes in a handy all in one kind of bag and has been jumped on, thrown around and jumbled around in the car and you wouldn't even know by looking at it. I'm impressed! Versatility This pump more than does the job. I love my Medela pump! Ease of Use This breast pump is so easy to use. It definitely takes the anxiety out of pumping while away from your baby! I always recommend this pump to all new moms -especially working moms!

I am a first time mom and I have not been able to breastfeed but just pump my milk. I had heard great reviews about this product and my doctor suggested it above any other brand. So I bought the free style machine. I love it. It does the job of pumping and at a fast rate. I like how the product has a warranty on it too. I have been using it at least 4 times a day for two months now and it has not failed me. Everything in the set is plastic and very easy to clean. It comes with an adapter, so I do not have to constantly buy batteries for it. I can hold it in one hand while multitasking and getting other things done with my other hand. The breast pump is very comfortable and the suction is good. I had wanted the best when it came down to comfort and a good suction to pull out my milk because I have to use it so often. I plan on pumping my milk until my baby is at least eight to nine months. So this pump has got to hold out strong until then. It has been great and has not failed me at all. It is much more expensive than other brands, but very worth it in the long run.

It is hard to pay much for something you do not know how much you will use, but this pump is definitely worth it. It is a nice small size to carry back and forth to work or traveling. It was a bit louder than I preferred. Comfort I have no complaints on comfort. The cups fit well, and I did not experience any discomfort while pumping. Ease of Cleaning All the pieces were very easy to clean, except the tubing running to the pump. I never quite figured out how to get it good and clean. Durability My children never learned to nurse well so I used this pump exclusively for the first year of each child's life. I put a lot of hours on it, and it did well for me. By the end of the two years, it was showing some signs of losing its strength. I believe that it was more a problem of the tubing system losing some of the suction power, rather than a problem with the pump. There seemed to be a loss of seal around some of the connections, including the one that plugged in to the pump itself.
