This breast pump is really easy to use and has fewer parts which makes cleaning really easy. It also has allowed me to pump comfortably and has a good battery life. It's not noisy at all so won't disturb baby.

This has been amazing!
I am very pleased with the performance of this product. I have never felt so comfortable before. I could relax myself, and start expressing milk. There was no pain, due to the different settings which I could tailor and personalise to my needs. The milk was expressed very fast I have to say. I was shocked how quickly it was done. It's easy to use, clean and recharge. I can actually take this out with me and use, as it it quite discreet and not noisy at all.

Amazing product
Amazing product. I have a 8 month old baby and I started using breast pump since he was 4 months. Because of the wounds I had, I had tried 3 pumps but no one compares with this. The shape of the pump is great, feels like you attach the baby to your breast. The sexpression and stimulation levels are great and the fact that you can use it unplugged is the best thing. Since I use it, I have no pain and my wounds start to heal nicely. Happy mom, happy baby and we can continue like this from now on. definitely recommend the pump. It's a life saver.
Pros
Great attachment to the breast

Game changer
Brilliant, I have had several breast pumps but this is the best hands down. It’s quiet enough for me to use on the go as well as when my baby is sleeping. The fact that it’s efficient and portable is great, usually you sacrifice performance for on the go use but not this. Love the fact it comes with a complete and seal as well so it’s easy to store and feed if not freezing for later. The pump it self is very comfortable with the silicone cushion, it has various speeds and the stimulation mode is great. Over I cannot fault this pump!!!
Pros
Rechargeable, quiet, portable
Cons
None that I can find

Super pump
This is such a fantastic electric pump. It was easy to set up, use and subsequently clean which is so important with a newborn. The pump itself fit really well and was comfortable which really when expressing. The cushion stimulates the breast so well, I’m convinced this helped me express more milk. The pump is also relatively quiet which is great perk. Overall I would definitely recommend this pump and am so happy to have it.
Pros
Comfortable, lots of options

The best electric breast pump I ever used.
I wish I tried this Philips electric breast pump earlier. It is absolutely amazing and it makes everything so much easier for me as a first time mum. Now it takes much less time to express milk because of the cushion which stimulates the breast effectively. There are different modes for perfect teat stimulation and suction (8 stimulation and 16 expressions levels) so every mum will find the ones which will suit her and will maximise milk flow. It has even memory function which will remember last setting so there is no need to set it up again.
At the start I was afraid that silicone cushion won't fit me as every woman has different size of nipples ( mine are quiet big) but it fit me perfectly.
Another big advantages of this little piece of equipment is the quiet motor, rechargeable battery and the possibility to express milk while sit upright so it can be used everywhere.
I am really happy with this electric breast pump and I would highly reccomend it to every mum.
Pros
Very good to use on the go, very quiet, good rechargeable battery, it saves much time with milk expressing

Easy to use and effective settings!
This pump is absolutely great - it has so many different stimulation options to choose from to help comfort and find the right one to help you express quickly!
My old pump made my nipples really sore as the pump didn’t hold them right but this pump was so comfortable.
I found that by changing the rhythm of the pump after a few minutes, I was able to pump more per session - which is why it’s good this product has so many.
100% recommend to new mums

Saved my breast feeding journey
After familiarising myself with the pump and settings, I found pumping very easy and less painful than breast feeding.
Due to feeling tense because of the pain during feeding, I was ready to give up, my milk production had slowed and I was thinking about formula.
Not only did I find the pump comfortable, it helped me increase production and gave me a break which has helped me heal and relax.
Pros
Comfort, quiet, encouraged milk production, easy to use
Cons
None
