Hi SG,
I learnt from a friend who also started with Medela mini electric and gave it up soon, replaced with AVENT manual pump and was able to TBF for >1yr. Now I sometimes will try with Medela pump but found it too slow to extract and volume also lower as compare to manual pump. I found AVENT manual pump more comfy to breast as it comes with a so called "let-down massage cushion" and I can control the speed how fast to pump and how much pressure to pump
