I purchased this pump because I didn't want to buy the expensive Medela system. I was weary a bit because it was a big investment but I tried it anyway. We bought it before the baby was born because we knew for sure that we were going back to work full time. Just out of curiosity, I rented a Medela from the hospital and tried it for a week. It did not have the silicone cups, just horn looking hard plastic cups... Ouch!!
I started using it around the fourth week after my baby was born. I went back to work at the six week mark. I work in a male dominated workplace so it was in the begining, a bit embarrasing. But the pump was very quiet and because of the double pump, it took about half the time. The pump is so quiet, I pump in my daughters room in the middle of the night and she is none the wiser. We also have our baby monitor close to the outlet that I use to pump and my husband doesn't even stir in his sleep.
The different pouches that it comes with keeps everything neatly organized. It uses the ABC system. A for accessories, B for breast milk and C for Cups. It all fits neatly in the tote bag. Very cute. It even has little letter keychains that go around each pouch. Very nice touch.
The pump has 5 each settings for speed and suction strength. I recommend going slow and low until you get used to pumping in general. The flip cover for the tubing can be removed if you want. You can do one or both at a time. If you're going to express one at a time, I suggest lowering the strength so it won't feel like you're being tugged. The silicone breast shield has a "flower" design that helps massage and makes it feel better while expressing.
As your child gets older, your child will naturally demand more. As this happens, I increased the strength and not the speed. I now pump at least twice a day, every four hours, while at work, and once at 2am. My baby is turning 6 months on a couple of weeks, and I am very happy about my pump. The replacement parts are very easy to by and cheap. Simply go to their site and search for what ever part you need. (You can find part numbers on booklet that came with the pump). If you do not have the book, no problem, just search the website for pump amd then parts.
Good luck to all you moms out there!!! Remember, breast milk is still the best for your baby at least until 6 months of age.

this pump works well, has pleanty of power, comes with a cute and practical purse/bag, and since i use the playtex drop-in bottles, it was a great match. it also works with other bottles.

This pump is fantastic, and I couldn't say enough about it. I was hesitant to spend the big bucks on the Medela, but this pump works just as well for considerably less money. I exclusively pumped for 4 months, and three of the those months I was workign full-time. This product comes with everything you need to travel, and is strong enough that I was able to pump enough milk for my baby to drink 100% BM, and have extra to freeze. Also, I put one of the rubber valves through the garbage disposal, and Playtex overnighted me a replacement part at no charge. I was amazed and delighted with their customer service, but you need to complete the warranty card when you receive the item.
For any moms out there who need a heavy-duty pump, I strongly recommend this product. I couldn't have been happier!

I purchased this product after reading a few reviews. It is a terrible pump. First off, I pumped every 3 hours for the first 3 weeks and my milk supply decreased! Fearing that I would not be able to regain my milk supply, I immediately rented a true hospital grade pump (Medela) which I think is the best around.
Playtex cups are painful to use. They say it massages your breast, but try using anything made out of rubber and rub it against something else and you will see there is friction...Like rubber on the bottom of shoes keep you from slipping. I had a few open cuts from it!
The pump is extremely loud! I called Playtex to ask them about it and the customer rep said that it is supposed to sound like that! I couldn't believe it! If you are trying to be discreet and considering using it at work or in the middle of the night, I would not recommend this pump. Again, the Medela Symphony is quieter on its strongest setting than the Playtex is on its weakest setting. It is loud enough that when watching t.v. I have to set the volume higher to hear it!
The saddest thing about the purchase to me was that the company can make all the claims in the world and even if it isn't true, you CANNOT return any open items! I was extremely unhappy with the purchase and now am stuck with an expensive product that I will never use. The company made their money...I guess that's all that matters to them!
I have a pump for sale...Any takers? Ha ha!

I just had my first baby and had only 6 weeks maternity leave, so I bought the Platex pump after reading several reviews that said that it and the Medela were the best commercially available electric pumps. It works wonderfully. It feels a lot like a baby's mouth sucking your breast and I am able to painlessly pump 4 bottles per day so that I can continue breastfeeding while going back to work. I was able to use it to stockpile milk in the freezer while I was on maternity leave, as well as to start our baby on 1 bottle per day after her 3rd week so that she could seamlessly transition to taking the bottle from my husband after I returned to work. I have no complaints about this pump. It allowed us to transition me back to work without a hitch in the baby's schedule. I highly recommend it.
