Electric Breast Pump Review – Avent, Medela, and Tommee Tippee
Every breastfeeding mother knows how important it is to have a high quality and reliable electric breast pump. Many mothers, especially those who have returned to work, prefer electric breast pumps over the manual versions because electric breast pumps are faster, easier, and more efficient to use.
However, you should not go and buy the first electric breast pump that you see. The performance and quality of different electric breast pumps vary greatly. Aside from relying on feedbacks from other mothers that you know, you can also read some electric breast pump reviews so that you will have an idea of the strengths and weaknesses of each brand and model of electric breast pump.
Below is a brief comparison of the top three brands of electric breast pumps.
- Avent. The electric breast pump produced by Avent is the Philips Avent Isis IQ Uno and the Philips Avent Isis IQ Duo Twin Electronic Breast Pump. The two electric breast pumps are basically the same except that the Uno has a single pump while the Duo has a double pump. The best thing about Avent electronic breast pumps is their silent yet powerful motor which matches those of hospital grade pumps. Avent electric breast pumps are also designed with an electronic memory that learns and uses your personal pumping style. Some users report though that setting up their Avent electric breast pump takes longer when compared to different brands.
- Medela. This brand manufactures different types of electric breast pumps. Medela has a hospital grade electric breast pump, a simpler battery-operated electric breast pump, and a hands-free double electric breast pump. The wide range of electric breast pumps that Medela offers is a testament to their experience when it comes to electric breast pumps. The hospital grade Medela Symphony has a lot of excellent reviews although it is a bit pricier than other electric breast pumps. Despite the generally superb electric breast pump reviews on Medela, there are some who report of the unfortunate experience of their electric breast pumps breaking down only after a few uses.
- Tommee Tippee. This brand is relatively new and less popular when it comes to electric breast pumps. Still, Tommee Tippee gets a significant amount of good electric breast pump reviews. The Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature Electric Breast Pump is available only as a single pump so it is not the electric breast pump of choice for those who prefer a double pump. While a lot of users say that this electric breast pump is comfortable and provides value for money, there are some poor reviews because of the tendency for milk to travel back up the tube.
