This has been an absolute godsend for the wife!
My wife has absolutely loved this double breast pump and has been suing it everyday. She swears that it has also increased her milk supply and expressing has never been easier. It comes in such a sleek and modern design, very easy to control, is washable, and makes hardly any noise when on! She takes it with her when we have weekends away. It takes her half the time to express as it's a double! This gives me more time with the wifey and less time expressing!
Pros
Easy to express, quiet expressing

Which I found this sooner!!
Finally I have found a breast pump which I am happy with. I have tried a few and this is by far the best one. This double breast pump is comfortable, convenient and innovative. It is such a gentle pump and feels very comfortable, not painful which is what I have experienced with others. I am also impressed with the amount of settings, the mode memory and it is really adaptable to each persons needs so it would be suitable for most mothers. The pump also comes with a nice little bag, it adds to the quality of the product and makes it easy to pack the pump away when it’s not being used. It also makes it easy to take out if you need to and it is very quiet which it is on which means that you can use it discretely. It is so easy to set up, operate and use, it was really easy to clean and is worth every penny.

Best pump for increasing supply
I loved the few number of parts and how they easily they attached together. All of the parts are so simple to attach together quickly. I also appreciate that the white valve piece is one rather than two pieces (like most other pumps I’ve used). The massage cushions or power cushions do add extra parts but they are incredibly easy to attach to the pump body. I do find that the silicon diaphragm takes some getting used to putting onto the pump body, this is probably the most “difficult” part of assembling the\is pump.
This pump offers a good range of suction.
Avent empties me as fast as my child almost and with a quick back to back session, 15 minutes apart, my milk supply increases substantially the next day. I've been pumping every night, almost every 2-3 hours at night to get enough milk to have some time during the day to run around other errands and to spend time with my oldest child during the day. I have had so far a really good experience with this pump. It has a strong suction and the breast cups are soft on the breast. I made sure that they fit properly and have not had a friction issue that hurt my nipples so far neither.
Lastly, the parts are so easy to clean up. I no longer have to worry about getting valves or duckbills to replace.
Overall, I liked the small size, bag, closed system, and cushion petals; however, I still prefer the dial settings vs three programmed settings. I also like how the parts are dishwasher safe, but I feel there are a lot of parts of you need to pump multiple times daily. I probably wouldn’t buy this pump given the need. Good pump - and big improvement over older Avent pump.
Pros
Increased my milk supply, comfortable, easy to clean
Cons
Not the most quite

Gentle but effective - I’m impressed!
This breast pump was super comfortable to use. I experienced no pain or discomfort. It fully emptied my breasts effectively and I got a large amount of milk off in a relevantly short period of time. The pump is gentle with a variation of levels of suction to switch between. And it’s straight forward to assemble and operate. Lovely and quiet, and easy to clean, Overall, I’m very impressed!

Great and quick
I am very happy with this double breast pump. Expressing both side is an absolutely time saver. It has ultra soft pads, so attachs very genlte. No need to bend to front just sit in a relax upright position. Very easy to clean and use. Milk comes fast. I did not have any pain at any time. Has a nice pouch and travel bag which are very stylish and quality. And works very quiet there is no annoying noise for the other people in the room when it is being use. Would recommend it.
Pros
Quiet and, has a memory to pause and continue

Double electric breast pump.
I give this electric breast pump 5* as it has made breast feeding a damanding baby very easy. My child has a tongue tie which is very hard for him to latch on for longer. This has made it super easy for me pumping milk , it latches on to my breast and is very uncomfortable snd essy to use and made feeding times so much less stressful and more easy&quick
Pros
Very comfortable.

Double effective
I chose this rating as I see no faults with the product. It is fast airtight and created comfort around the nipple area and no nipple irritation. It's very easy to clean due to the closed hygienic system. My partner says this is the best breast pump she's ever used.
Pros
Easy to clean fast and comfortable
Cons
None

An amazing breast pump.
I have been using this breast pump now for just under two weeks and I am very happy and surprised. I’ve previously struggled with other breast pumps being uncomfortable or not being able to get much milk. This breast bump has so many different settings so it’s easy to find the perfect setting to get a good flow going. I’ve also found this breast pump really comfy to use after a few tries to get it positioned perfectly. The breast bump comes in a nice compact carry bag which is perfect to store it in. It comes apart easily to be cleaned and the instructions are very well detailed every step of the way.
Pros
Easy to use, many different options.
Cons
Slightly noisy but most electric breast pumps are.
