Comments about Playtex Petite Double Electric Breast Pump BPA Free:
This pump works great only when you connect the hose to use one at a time. Do not try to pump both breast at once because you will get nowhere. Also I never really felt empty after I pumped. I know some of you will respond and say your breast are never really empty because they are always making milk blah blah blah...but this is the second time I have breastfeed so I know what the empty "feeling" is. Anyway, the pump is ok. The suction is a lot better with only one pump connected. Let down does take a few minutes but I am sure that is the case with any pump. I would recommend to a friend who is looking to save a few a dollars but not someone who is looking for the best. My manual pump worked better in my opinion.

Bought this pump after my first years pump motor quit. It was the only dual pump on the shelf. I used it for a week, about 8 times a day, and already has lost suction. Was unable to dual pump the 2nd day. Also the little coupler that attaches to the tube and motor broke. I need to find a pump that is going to last, i plan on pumping for as long as i possibly can. Now the motor barely runs to pump one side. I figured playtex would be a good brand. I'm gonna call the company for either a new motor or something.
Terrible. HORRIBLE Pump!

Comments about Playtex Petite Double Electric Breast Pump BPA Free:
I absolutely hate this pump. I pump for 2 hours and only got a half an ounce and i know I have more milk. The milk also gets stuck between the plastic and silicon on the flanges. I wish I would have purchased a manual pump instead of this garbage. Completely waste of money. I had to give my baby formula when I came home from the hospital with her because she had torn my nipples so bad I couldnt nurse her. I went out and bought a cheap pump which was an evenflo and it broke on me. Now I have this one and I tried and tried to give this pump a chance.
Terrible Pump

I bought one despite the reviews I read on here, and I'm telling everyone dont buy it. One week of use my motor died and cups cracked, they sent me a new motor, same thing, I have had it for 3 weeks and had 4 motors, now Playtex wants to send my coupons for more Playtex products as a reimbursement...
I HATE THIS PUMP!!!

Comments about Playtex Petite Double Electric Breast Pump BPA Free:
My son was born with a cleft lip and was unable to nurse on me, which means that I have had to pump several times a day to keep up with his feedings. My first pump broke after about 6 months of use (a different brand) and in desperation I bought this one from our local Walmart because I needed something right away. I have had nothing but trouble with this pump. Like what other people have said, the small piece that attaches the hose to the machine broke the first day that I used it. It is very loud, even my husband frequently comments on how loud it is. I don't get a lot of suction. It is impossible to pump into two bottles at once because I get no suction at all when using both sections of the hose. AND it takes over an hour for me to fill a 6 ounce bottle. I absolutely hate this pump and do not recommend it to anyone.

This pump was the best thing I could have been given for my baby shower. I used it as soon as soon as I got home from the hospital. My daughter was tearing me a new one from breastfeeding and no matter what I did it didnt help. With this pump I was able to keep up my milk supply n switch to straight bottle she's almost 3 weeks old and it's still going strong. It cleans easily the bottles it comes with are great. It can be pretty noisy and the motor gets a little warm, but as for a reliable pump it's great and reasonable.
waste of time & money

after reading reviews from many different websites I figured I'd give this pump a shot. Turns out I'm not happy so I actually just called playtex and am sending it back to them to get a refund. The first of many things wrong was I could express more milk with the hand pump I got from the hospital and in much faster time too. the other thing was I had to call them to send me a replacement motor because it was losing sucction. I read reviews about how loud the pump was and the noise I could have delt with if the pump worked correctly. I would not recommend this product to anyone it is truely not worth the hassle. I do however like the playtex drop in bottles that came with it and will be buying some of those cause the parents choice ones are not as good. hope this helps!
I Like it.

When I purchased this product I thought it was a great value for the cost and what the product offered. My baby is 6 months old and I am a stay at home mom. My son is primarily breast fed but I pump generally once a day. This product has worked great for me….no issues as mentioned in the other reviews. I like it and especially like the adaptor to pump directly into the bottle liners. At first my son reluctantly switched from the breast to the bottle, but after a few tries now he makes the switch with no fuss. I have no regrets and would buy again.
Had to purchase a different pump

Comments about Playtex Petite Double Electric Breast Pump BPA Free:
we bought this pump trying to save money and we got what we paid for! it only lasted me 1 week! the motor was so loud and it was starting to lose suction. also a piece on the hose broke making the suction even worse. pumping was painful and the results were minimul. i am a new mom and this made my breast feeding and pumping experience so stressful! i was barely getting any milk with this pump. i had to mix formula with what i could actually get with the pump. it also doesn't come with any kind of carrying case so it is hard to bring it along anywhere. i ended up ordering a 230 dollar Avent pump which i love. i just wish i would have read all these reviews before i had bought this pump!
Parts trouble

Comments about Playtex Petite Double Electric Breast Pump BPA Free:
I also had problems with the "elbow" piece breaking so with my last baby I attached a Medela tube that I got from the hospital which worked so well. Now that I’m planning a new baby I decided to check the Playtex website to see if I could order that part so I could use the pump for this baby too and they have eliminated the necessity for the elbow part if you order a new tube. Not sure if I want to buy a Medela pump or try to use this pump again. The suction was ok but the cups didn’t always fit well. I love the Playtex storage system and hear that it is compatible with Medela brand. I’d go with the Medela brand because it seems universal and widely used.
BROKE!!

Comments about Playtex Petite Double Electric Breast Pump BPA Free:
I have only had this pump 1 month. I pump every day, every 4 hours. Christmas morning, I woke up to pump and it wasn't getting any suction. We have tried everything to get it to work. Everywhere is closed, so I can't even go out and buy a new one. My daughter won't drink directly from me, so I don't know what I'm going to do to keep my milk supply until things open on Monday. This may cause me to dry up and not be able to breastfeed my daughter anymore considering I already have problems with my milk supply. I would NOT recommend this pump. You will pay for spending less money in the long run and you never know when it will happen!
Do NOT buy

Comments about Playtex Petite Double Electric Breast Pump BPA Free:
This would be a descent product, except the piece of the air hose that circulates the air to pump, keeps breaking... The piece was not covered by Playtex (that I could tell), and everytime I tried to call the number listed in the box I couldn't speak with a person. So I had to go online to order the part, after shipping it cost almost $6.00 for tiny piece, and because of the way it fit's (or rather doesn't fit), the replacement piece broke again within a week... meaning I couldn't use my unit for a week, which you can't do when you're breast feeding.

So I just used this pump 2 seconds ago and I had my doubts about buying a pump that was under $100 dollars but omg am I glad I didn't spend that much. It's amazing and I don't care that it doesn't have a bag or anything because you can put it in a diaper bag or large purse. It's kind of loud but not to bad. It's amazing and it gets the job done with no pain and it feels great afterwards! GO GET ONE!! NOW!!
Now I'm having to buy another pump

Comments about Playtex Petite Double Electric Breast Pump BPA Free:
This pump was terrible for me. I would pump for an hr and maybe get 2 oz!! My daughter is 2 months old and this whole time I just thought I had a low milk supply. Using the hospital pump, I was able to pump 6 oz in 20 min! I am now looking to buy another pump. Aside from the pump's terrible suction, it's VERY loud! I could not pump in the same room with my daughter sleeping or it would wake her. I wouldn't recommend buying this one at all!
I LOVE THIS PUMP!!!!

which i find incredibly rediculous but also understand it as well....
not to mention when your milk gets on the sheild it dries (everyone knows this) but if you don't get it off it sticks soo badly that it rips off your skin off. let me tell you this IS PAINFUL!!!
overall i would not recommend this at all!!!

I got this pump because it was cheaper but I wish I would have saved my money and got a better one. I can only pump about 2-3oz from each side in 20 minutes. It's ok for now but when she gets older and is drinking more I will need a better pump. Also the little piece of the tube that hooks to the motor broke and I can't find it it online or in stores to replace it so I have to hold it in place, which makes it even harder to pump and I can only do one side at a time now.

Comments about Playtex Petite Double Electric Breast Pump BPA Free:
I recently purchased this product for my wife to help supplement our daughter's feeding with the bottle but to no avail. After two tries for at least 20 minutes, using the pump, nada. I guess I shouldn't say nada; it was a few drops and not enough to fill the nipple area of the bottle. The only thing it was great at was making noise.
To make matters worse, after contacting Playex and inquiring about my options of returning the product, I was displeased with the time it would take to return the pump. First, I have to wait for an instruction letter which will arrive between 7 to 10 days, pay for the shipping and also place insurance on the package. The service rep mentioned that I can return it for a refund consideration. You got to be kidding me. Even after all of this, a refund is not guaranteed.

I have been using this product 8x a day every day for the last 7 weeks and it is starting to lose suction. I had to change out the shields to the medela ones and it has worked just fine for me I'm not a heavy producer but I make just enough to feed my baby. I think that my pump would have lasted longer if I would have not used it more than it's intended use. IT IS NOT INTENDED FOR EVERYDAY PUMPERS!!!! but the playtex customer service is awesome and I did purchase the Embrace . Overall I think you should never buy a pump in hopes to save money, you do tend to get what you pay for when it comes to breast pumps

I purchased this product because i breastfeed exclusively and needed a new pump after using my other one for 6 monthts. This pump didn't have enough suction. I could not get a drop of milk using this pump. I know that is a defect with the pump since i can pump 6oz with my evenflo. When i r called playtex they sent me a new pump but it wasn't any better. Now i have to pay to send both units back and wait to see if they send me a refund. This was a very disappointing product.

-The first time i used this pump I noticed that it did not work as a double pump at all... the suction as a double pump is horrible.. the only way I could get it to work was to use it as a single pump...
-This pump is extremly loud!!!
Okay so today I call their customer service line and I tell the repersentative the problems I'm having with the pump and tell her because of its inability to extract my milk i would like to return the pump... she tells me no because its a health hazard..its not like I was trying to return it to the store so that they could sell it to someone else... I'm completly unstisfied and I will make sure I NEVER buy/recommend any of their products ever... and the representative had the nerve to tell me maybe that maybe it was just me and my milk supply was probably low...uuummmm no I'm NO!! I've have successfully breastfed my son for 4 months and have used another pump with great susccess.

Comments about Playtex Petite Double Electric Breast Pump BPA Free:
As a first time mom I always knew I wanted to breastfeed. Unfortunately I had to turn to exclusive pumping because of latch problems. my mom bought this pump for me hoping to make the transition easier and to help me keep giving my baby breastmilk. I will admit, I LOVED this pump at first it was so comfortable and met my expectations. However, now at 3 weeks of use and pumping 4-6 times a day, everyday, it has definitly sunk way below my expectations. It has lost so much suction that now I don't even feel it on the highest setting. I also feel that since the pump is now performing poorly that my supply is decreasing, pushing me to supplement with formula quite a bit. I am now looking for a new pump, hopefully one that will last me for the long run as 3 weeks use is just too short.

This is a cheap end double breast pump and it the connector for the tubing broke during the first use. It has minimal suction which ends up with poor performance and SLOW pumping speed. Took over 30 minutes to pump 2 oz. Going to return if they will allow it.

This pump is awful. I used it for 2 weeks and it didn't pump milk like it did before. The suction on it is not good. After a while your body gets use to the suction and nothing comes out. You can just walk up to some random person and give them $90 if your thinking of buying this product. Please don't do it! I honestly think it's better the 'Old Fashion' way. Just let your baby latch on.

I bought the pump 3 weeks ago. It's already losing suction. You can hear the air leaking out from under the silicone part - does not make good contact anymore with the plastic cup it goes over. The tube that makes the suction is cracked at the base where it's connected to the motor...
I wish I would have spend more money to get something that's worth it! And tomorrow that's exactly what I'll do! I pump 4 times a day and need something more reliable...

I saw the reviews also and thought it would be a good product, but found only if you could hook the actually breast shields to a Medela motor, I think their problem is in the motor, it is loud and has no adjustments on this model, very frustrating.
It worked great for the first day or so and then it seemed to give out. Not for everyday use and certainly not for taking to work no battery option.
ask a friend, they are the best for these kind of reviews or go to a moms group or lactation forum before purchasing.

This product did not meet my expectations. After using a Medela breast pump, I purchased this one. The suction on it is half what the Medela was and it took me 45 minutes to pump 3 ounces from each breast. I work and only get a 15 minute break which is needed to pump, I don't have time to use this pump. Also, I called customer service because after using the product twice, the elbow joints for the tubing cracked, which lowered suction even more. It has a lot of parts to it and was time consuming to clean. I was very unhappy with this pump. After having it for 1 day, I had already decided to buy a different one...so much for that $90.

It is really comfortable, one of the most comfortable I've tried, but that's about it. I've been using the pump for a month and already needed to have pieces replaced on it. I need a double pump for work and this one is not strong enough to pull from both at the same. Must be used as a single and even then, it takes forever to get more than 2 oz out! I used a evenflo with my first child and it worked better with 4 AA batteries then this one does on wall supply.
Over all, this product should not be purchased if looking to double pump. The storage system is wonderful, but I had to purchase extras online, could not find any of their storage products in stores.
Not a good product

to compare with my previous pump, this one expresses half the amount of milk. It pumps slower and weaker as well. I recommend new moms not to get this one. my previous brand was My First Year.
DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!

I bought this pump because of the Playtex name and the price. However, after 2 weeks of use the suction on the unit decreased and I was only able to express milk using the highest setting, which made my nipples sore! In addition, it takes twice as long to pump 3 ounces using this pump compared to my Lansinoh pump. I DO NOT advise anyone to buy this pump!!!
Very nice!

If you are looking for a breast pump that is not so expensive but works great I recommend this one. It does just about the same as a real expensive one would.
not a great pump at all

when i got this pump i loved how it came with two bottles and extra parts to the pump.. the suction on the pump isnt the greatest at all. it doesn't drain my breast or even get a ton out of it. at the most sometimes i can get 1 oz.. i have to keep taking the pump on and off my breast to get more milk and wait a few minutes while i take it off to get more milk. it is a waste of money and i wasnt satisfied at all!! i need a pump i can use everyday and one that has great suction and this isnt a everyday pump..
Ok for occasional

I bought this pump before my son was born because i was staying home with him and planned to breastfeed. I was unaware that he would have problems latching on so i had to resort to pumping my milk in bottles and feeding him that way, this ment pumping all the time. Unfortunatley this is only for occasional pumping and before my son was two weeks I was looking for a different pump it became hot after each use and began to rattle and loose suction.
It's Ridiculous!

At first the pump worked, wonderful, then I realized the day after I got it that not everything was in the box. Then I sterilize the bottles and they shrink. I just had my baby a couple weeks ago, and can't get him to latch on. Now what am I supposed to do? I'm very disappointed!!!!! I would most definitely not recommend this product to anyone!
Do Not Buy!!!!!

This pump had pretty good reviews so I thought I would try it. Bad idea!!! This is the worst pump it takes forever and I have used other pumps including the single electric evenflo pump which is much better. I will be buying the double evenflo pump. I just wasted 80 bucks on this piece of junk.
buy a better pump

I just got this breast pump as a gift from my shower. The first time I used it there, I noticed there were holes in the breast shields. I did call Platex and they sent new shields within a few days, but am shocked they only lasted 1 use.
Invest in better pump

I purchased this pump to aid in inducing lactation and the tubing cracked before the end of the first month. Needless to say, the tubing replacement needs to be purchased online from Playtex. Although this product appears to be good quality and value for the price....I would invest a little more money and get a hospital grade electric pump as opposed to the cheaper product. Don't waste your monies unless you really can't afford a better product.
amazing product.

I love it easy to use and works great. I had the 300$ pump a few years ago with my son and this works just as good if not better. I love that you can pump right into the bottles and the storage containers are great and easy to use as well.
I HATE IT!!!!

This product was OK for awhile, then it just got totally annoying!
It's VERY loud!! The suction is awful .. and doesnt work after a while. It also leaks and is hard to clean.
I would never use this product again!!!

This is a great product!! I was hesitant to purchase due to several bad reviews but glad that I went with my gut. There are complaints about the noise but it is no louder than any other pump. All pumps will be somewhat noisy due to the motor working. It does not disturb the baby or any activites. I have been using the pump for one month now and I have to pump frequently because of work. I even pump in the car. The milk flows easily and it only takes about twenty minutes to fill bottle. My only complaint is that I can only pump one breast at a time because when pumping with both, there is not enough power to pull milk. If needing to double pump then the Playtex Embrace would be perfect. I have always liked Playtex products and this pump has been a great investment. This product also comes with a milk storage system that is fantastic. To buy an additional full milk storage kit, I had to purchase online though because I could not find at any store. It is Playtex Nursing Necessities Milk Storage System. I highly recommend this product to women who would like to pump on the go, at work, or even at home. You will not be disappointed.
