I am a satisfied user of Avent pumps. I am a working mum too, and looks like Avent pumps have met your requirements.Hello ladies! I'm doing some research on breast pumps and am overwhelmed with the info out there.
For a start, my requirements are :
1) portable pump to bring to office-home
2) preferably dual pump to save time as need to pump during working hours
3) easy to assemble/clean/replace parts
I'm not sure if I considered everything.. but this is all i can think of now.
There's a lot of reviews out there on Medela and Avent, but not much on Ameda, despite Ameda being cheaper..
OK so i did some comparisons, and these are some 'quirks' that made me lean on one or the other.. if you have anything to add, please let me know!
[you]Medela
[/you]-Expensive
-The tubing is hard to clean, and might get mouldy over time
-Medela bottles have smaller opening.. harder to clean the bottles
-Popular choice, especially the Medela Freestyle for working mums
[you]Avent[/you]
-Expensive
[you]Ameda
[/you]- suction not as strong as medela, but good enough
- least expensive
I think I would have to consider value for money as well, for e.g. cost of accessories like storage bags/bottles.. but dont't have much information on that yet. If you do, please share as well!
I'm leaning towards Avent, and Ameda for the price, if only i can find more info on it!
Thank you all :001_302:
