As a first timer, I bought this before baby arrived and wish I had waited to get a better understanding of what pumping really entailed, and which features mattered before making a purchase. I ended up borrowing a hospital grade pump and much prefer the fitted flange to the universal sized one included in this one. Also, the whole pump/bottle apparatus is rather bulky and awkward to maneuver within a pumping bra (the outside piece has to screw onto/off of the flange instead of the other way around, if that makes sense, meaning that you spill milk afterward when trying to remove from within your bra).

I ended up keeping the hospital pump flange/collector setup and just hooking the tubing up to this one.

The suction itself is great and I like the different settings. I would advise first timers to speak with a lactation consultant for some fitting recommendations before springing for a pump to make sure you get one that fits you best!

We were sent the wrong product despite paying for the rechargeable pump, then had to call the manufacturer to have it dealt with.
