This pump is worth every penny. Luckily I didn't have to pay for this pump, as it was given to me. But if I had to purchase a pump, this would be the one. When I first started back to work 6 weeks after giving birth, I used only a manual pump and my pumping sessions would be around 3 times a day and for a half an hour each session. Once I received this pump my sessions were cut back to only 15 minutes at a time with double the output. I was thoroughly impressed. With working full time I was able to exclusively feed my baby breastmilk for 7 months and then feed him a mix of formula and breastmilk for a total of 10 months. This pump was a lifesaver and as close to the real thing as you can get. I did notice better output though when the powercord was used compared to the battery pack. I also recommend purchasing a car power cord. This was great when my husband and I would go on a trip, I could easily pump while he drove.
