Avent Isis

Pros: Costs less than many electric pumps; Avent brand name widely trusted by many.
Cons: Difficult to assemble and clean with poor letdown achieved.

First of all, I must say I was VERY disappointed the first time I tried my new Avent Isis manual breastpump. After reading many positive reviews praising the efficiency of this pump, I purchased it as a backup just in case I ever needed a manual p ...

Cons: ● Assembly can be confusing ● One breast pumping

I had nursed our...

Cons: None really

Background I delivered a beautiful baby boy on Feb. 6 who would NOT latch on - no matter how many night nurses forced his mouth on me. While in the hospital - they gave me the Medela's Electric Classic Pump - a dual pumping system which was ...

Pros: Compact, noiseless, easy cleaning, widely available for a low price, Avent system works well together
Cons: Massage Petal Cushion seems like a gimmick, no margin for error in assembly

Good Things Cost More, Right? As the most pampered of all pregnant princesses, I believed my baby and I deserved the best of everything, ergo, the most expensive. I picked up a Medela Pump in Style for reasons that will have most epinions users ...

Pros: Easy to use and assemble. Works!
Cons: None

I didn't expect that I would ever buy this product. I was using a $15 manual pump, and I was perfectly content. Now I don't know how I could have lived without this! Unfortunately (or fortunately) my daughter has never wanted to take a bottle. She...

Pros: No need for electrical outlets!
Cons: Not a dual pump; longer pumping time.

I do have a Medela Pump-In-Style to take to work with me, but when I'm at home and need to pump (I have had excessive production with all my children; I have consistently produced more than they eat) I don't want to get the Medela out, hook it up, pump,...

Pros: compact, easy to use and clean, inexpensive
Cons: none!

I purchase the Avent Isis manual pump before I even gave birth to my son. I had planned to breastfeed and I knew I would need a decent pump to express my milk in case I ever left him with someone besides myself.

When the pump arrived I was...

Cons: some angles do not work (one must lean slightly forward), somewhat tricky to assemble

Cons: Amount of time required to achieve "let-down" varies

Pros: High quality components, impressive suction, way easier to use than most pumps.
Cons: Somewhat difficult to clean by hand; pretty much requires a dishwasher.

I know there are many reviews written about this little device, but another one won't hurt. We boug ...

Pros: Fast, Easy, and Comfortable. What more can I ask for?
Cons: None.

The Avent Isis is, without a doubt, the BEST manual breast pump on the market.

Before using and loving this pump, I tried three other pumps and was disappointed each time. Others require two hands and lots of effort. Some were uncomfortable,...

Pros: The most effective manual pump; results of a hospital grade pump for far less money!
Cons: Lots of parts to assemble; pumping "angle" a little difficult

I purchased this pump with my third child after trying several other pumps, including the Medela man ...

Pros: small and discreet, comfortable to use, inexpensive
Cons: takes a long time to pump; should only be used for occassional pumping.

I bought my Avent Isis Breast Pump before my son was born. I am a student and thought that the pump would be great for pumping in between classes because I would not need a power source as I would for an electric pump.

The Avent Isis...

Pros: Easy for travel, Great bottles, comparatively lower priced, comfortable, comfortable, comfortable!
Cons: Lots of parts to clean and put together. Takes time to pump.

On day four after my daughter was born, I woke up in pain from my milk coming in. There was no question about it - we needed to go buy a pump. But I had no idea which brand to get and was frustrated that they all cost so much. What if I made a mistake...
