Avent versus Amedela versus Medela

hi ladies, i'm looking for a pump to buy as mine recently just died.

I'm deciding between the 3 brands - but not certain which to go for

I have used the Medela mini single pump and the Avent electric Uno Pump. My take on them :



Avent Uno Pump

---------------

- I do find the Avent one really good in terms of emptying the breast

- But it somehow takes a long time to pump out 150ml (45min to an hour?)

- It spoils relatively easily (the one that just gave way was my 2nd Avent) Do any of you using the Avent one has this problem?



Medela Mini

------------

- light and fuss free

- extremely durable

- but it doesn't seem to empty the breast - always feel very full even when there is no milk coming out anymore.



I've not used the Amedela before - any comments?



I'm thinking of getting the Avent Dual - any thoughts?

 


I'm using Medela Pump In Style advance and I love it. 100ml in 10mins.



Previously I was using Avent single electric pump and I would say it's not flexible as Medela. My nipple is quite big and it got stuck to the soft shell that claim to stimulate let down effect. In the end i have to remove that piece of rubber but end up it leak badly. Further more can't control the vaccuum level; and I only can get 60ml in 30mins. (15mins each breast). I'm not sure about Avent Uno Pump though 'cos never use before.

 
   

Hi mummies,



I have a brand new bottle of GNC fenugreek (natural remedy to boost milk supply), willing to let go at $25 (including shipping), original price is $30+++.

boought it last last month, thought I needed it but nope!!



Interested, pls PM me, if not email me at [email protected]

 
i agree with BB; i too swapped from the avent pump to a medela one as i felt it took a long time to get just a little bit of milk from both breasts..now i am using the medela pump which can get 100ml(both breasts add together) within the same pumping time when i used the avent one

 
Hi Mummies,



I've got 1 x BN Avent Philips Steam Sterilizer (24hr model, the same as the above) - retailing at $199 sgd



Selling @ $160 cash please PM me if interested.

 
hi



i m selling my avent duo ISIS pump. Used it for 1 yr and in good condition. Am selling at $380. Please pm me if you are interested.

 
Hi sweetsnow. I've tried both since the time I posted my enquiry in the forum. I still prefer avent duo. We had a few converts in the office. Unlike the avent UNO the duo is more stable and less prone to problems.

For users who mention th cap popping up all the time. It's due the ensembling of the parts. You should put in the white tiny rubber funnel before the cap. It works perfect for me till now. I'm into my 9 months of nursing.

But 1 thing about the duo. It cannot operate without a ac outlet. So if I go biz trips for convenience I borrow my colleague's hygenia. That is one pump that o oh so love.

I'm thankful that there's many nursing mummies in my office and we share pumps on occasion when we want to try out different brands or if we simple forget some parts...

 
Oh yes.pump times are 15 to 20 mins for 300ml. Way way faster the medals. Even with the hygenia ... That brand is pretty similar to avent duo.

 
Hi Kin, thanks for the info. I am convinced that avent is a good choice. But I must say avent is smart to have their pump size in the way that only avent bottles will fit. Avent bottles not cheap

 
That's true. Or u can get bottle converters. I use a selection of pigeon bottles and avent. So after each pump I transfer all the milk into the pigeon bottles. The pigeon bottles hold up to 200 ml. But that's to the brim ... The small avent boules up to 150 ml to the brim.

By the way the other brand I mention is hygeia. It found on the site of mums fairy

 
Hi all, I have a brand new, unused, Avent Single Electric Breast pump for sale. It is still in original box packaging. I've bought this in June 2011 but did not get to use it as I managed to find my old Avent pump before the birth of my second baby.



For your info, the retail price is S$299 but I am selling it at $209 (30% discount).



If interested, please email me at [email protected]



Cheers,
