I have been using this pump for about two weeks, about a few times a day. I find it to be more comfortable than the medela pump at the hospital because this pump uses silicone parts. The suction works just as well as the hospital pump. You control the suction of this pump as if it was a manual pump and the pump remembers and programs your set rhythm at the touch of a button. I really like the bottles that the pump comes with, the bag is nice for traveling although I have not had to use it yet. Walmart has the best price for this pump that I have seen so I think my purchase has been very valuable.
Great pumping action not so good for on the go

So this was the second pump I had to get, initially I had an even flow eletrical pump which initially worked ok then burned out about 2wks in...not good! So i did some research and this had reasonably good reviews. Since using this for about 3wks now I have found it to work great has varying levels of suction, which is great when it comes to soreness or engorgement and you get going does not take long to get finished up. However the carrying case is way bulky and trying to use the double pumps while not in the comfort of home is quite awkard. Im a working mother and have been trying to make this work and of course its not impossible just make sure you set aside a quiet private place were even if you are pressed for time you dont feel stressed because set-up and dismantling also take a decent chunk of time.
Comfortable to Use

I purchased this pump for my daughter-in-law after she had done some research and checked with several of her friends that were new moms. She is very happy with it and says the quality is great, it is easy to use, and very comfortable! Wal-Mart has the best prices and Site To Store makes the price even better!
Does what it Promises!

I purchased this pump because I wasnt getting much volumn with an older used pump from another manufacturer. This one was significantly cheaper then the other "number 1 brand" but was still made by AVENT witch has been a number one baby product for a long time. I had the manual pump.. and it works great ,but i need double to best manage my time. This one in half the time yielded double the volumn as the other pump i was useing... it is SOOO quiet to! all you hear is the actual pump, no lound on going machine.. I love that you control the pumping.. i can mimic my daughter much better.. and get better results.. the only bad thing i can say about this pump.. well 2 things lol.. is that the breast that the main pumping system is attached to.. it doesnt suck has hard as the other one for some reason.. almost like an air leak somewhere.. but this could be owner malfunction as well, the 2nd is that there are ALOT of pieces and steps that need to be taken in order to pump then clean up.. but hey, it works great and that is what is important.
love this pump

When I got this product I was not sure if I would like it. I like, many women, was continuing to decrease my milk supply using a Medela pump rented from the hospital. I read a ton of reveiws for all kinds of pumps and saw quite a few reviews that said that this pump was quick, quiet, and increased mother's milk supply. I will be honest though at first I felt akward getting the hand pump controled and thought that the pump was not that great. I kept at it though and I love this pump now. I have to pump at work and no hears it running. I can pump and clean up in 20 minutes. My milk supply has increased from about 3 ounces to 6-7 ounce ever time I pump.
love the product

I really love this breastpump and what i paid online saved me about $70.00 than if I would of purchased it at the store. I love the fact that I can breast pump both breast at once and I no longer need to struggle with a manual pump for one side. What used to take me 30 minutes on one side I can do for both side in about 15 minutes. The carry bag is very nice. I would recommend this pump to all women who choose to breast feed. To me the price is worth if you are planning to have more kids.
Excellent!!

I currently own this pump and it met all my expectations. The suction power is really good, it really gets your milk flowing really fast! It is not as loud as I thought it would be, the massage cushions for your breast are good but not indespensible.
would recommend

After reviewing many breast pumps this is the one I decided on. I had originally registered for it at Target and didn't get it for the shower. Luckily, before I bought it from Target I checked around for prices and found it for about $60 less at Walmart for the same product! My only complaint is that it seems to leak after removing them from the breasts from the top just a little. Almost as if the last little bit doesn't go down toward the bottle. Overall I am very happy with this purchase.

I love this pump. The only question I have is whether it was worth the extra money for the double pump. I may have fared better with the single, and often use one side of this pump. This slight trouble may have more to do with the size of my breasts, rather than the pump. Overall, it is a good purchase.

I rented an expensive pump from the hospital (one of those $2000.00 pumps) with my first child. For one month I paid about half of the cost of this pump and this avent pump is twice as comfortable. If you are going to pump…this is the pump to get. Worth every penny!

I'm a working mother, now breastfeeding my third. I've owned 5 electric pumps over the years, from the $40 bargain brand to a $300 Medela. Some broken, some I lost parts to, hence purchasing so many. The Isis iQ is the best ever, hands down.

I'm a working mother, now breastfeeding my third. I've owned 5 electric pumps over the years, from the $40 bargain brand to a $300 Medela. Some broken, some I lost parts to, hence purchasing so many. The Isis iQ is the best ever, hands down.
I'll start with the cons:
There's lots of pieces, and the pieces don't like to stay together. The 'massage cushion' connects via sealing on the lip to the hard plastic horn, and can slip off easily. Its an easy fix, just cumbersome when your hands are occupied.
The cup that screws to the horn does not seal securely either, and you can accidentally tap the cup and it will spin from the horn. I've never had it spin OFF, spilling milk, but it has broken suction.
The horn & cup assmebled aren't very stable, and topple easily. Especially, if the stiff cord & hoses remain attached, they pull the assembly down.
The carrying bag is big. Sure, its stylish, but big purses are 'in' right now! Its a lot to carry to work every day! It will hold EVERYTHING that comes with the pump, but for day to day use, I have no need to carry all the pieces-2 spare 9 oz cups, bottle nipple attachments, 2 coolers, etc.
The final con, it must be nearly completely disassembled for traveling.
The pros:
This is the best darn pump for getting milk out of your breasts efficiently. So what if the cushion detaches or the assembly tips over occasionally? It is so worth the little inconveniences.
The set-up and use for this pump is different than anything else on the market. If comparing, please remember that.
You control EVERYTHING just like a manual pump. The suction pressure, the length of the pull, the frequency of the cycle. AND you can change it up through out the session to meet your needs over the course of the session. Light and quick at the start to stimulate 'let down,' then long continuous suction during let-down, then steady and rhythmic for the hind milk. I get 5 oz in 4 minutes. Every
AWESOME PRODUCT!!

I used this pump with my 1st baby when I went back to work - she is now 4 years old - I'm now using the SAME pump with my new baby - she is now 4 mos old - I pump at work and even at home to keep my milk supply up - this pump is AWESOME. I'm not sure why the other reviews say it is loud - mine is extremely quiet - the sleek black bag is so discreet nobody can tell (except other moms) what I am carrying around the office to and from the lactation room. It's very roomy on the inside, holds all of the pump parts and bottles and comes with 2 insulated bags with 8 gel chillers to keep milk fresh and cold during transport. Here's a tip, I keep each individual pump piece put together and stored in a quart size zip loc freezer bag which I change out daily (will take 2 per day - one for each) ...it fits perfectly and keeps the parts clean!! It's so convenient as well, I can keep most of the items plugged in without having to unplug everything - which is handy with my busy daily schedule at work. There are a lot more parts than other pumps but very easy to put together - and all the small parts are soft silicone - very easy to clean and comfortable against your body/skin. You even get extra and spare parts just in case something gets lost! The pump works with all the AVENT bottles and accessories easily!! There is also a side zippered pocket to keep items in. Mine has worked great and continues to do so. I recommend this pump to all my friends and to anyone considering a pump. Like I said I have been using the SAME one all this time! AWESOME PRODUCT!!
