I bought this after trying a Medela Mini Electric - I found the rhythm and suction just didn't suit, and I couldn't find a silicone breastshield attachment anywhere.



It's pretty simple, it has two pumping phases, one to get the milk going then a stronger pull once it's all happening. I like the flexibility of changing rhythm and suction strength as needed when expressing. That said I am only using it to express once every one or two days to add to solids for my bub. I like that it is quiet (the electric was sooo noisy) and I think the action is better too, much gentler, and the silicone breastshield which is standard on this model gives a good seal and is comfortable.



For sterilising I just throw all the appropriate bits into a pan of boiling water on the stove.



Suits my needs really well, I could get a lot more than I do but I really don't need it at the moment.
