I used this pump to express 8 times a day while my baby was in hospital. It is fantastic for full time expressing as it simulates the babies sucking pattern.

Very comfortable and easy to use, well worth the extra cost for hiring it.

i have been using the medela pump-in-style which i think is the same as the symphony... is great for serious expressing, eg return to work as is a bit exxy for casual use. two type sucking action is good for encouraging let down as is double pumps as saves time and i found also encouraged let down. this is the one in the back pack - throw all that away, all you need is the little pump box and the attachments - makes far more portable. best solution - dont go back to work too soon!

This is one great pump, its easy to use and as its a double its a time saver, the pumping is easy on you and it sucks just like a baby does (as in the quick sucking to get your let down going) its a very fast and efficent pump, easy to find to hire,

More expensive to hire especially if you want to take advantage of the double pumping ability...great time saver
