Ok, here's my pros and cons of the two main contenders for the best double electric pump. I'll check the two were the two that I used for my daughters: Avent ISIS iQ Duo Breast Pump Double Electric for my first (released soon) and has been for 9 months, every working day to pump 2-4 times days. For my second, I went with the Medela Freestyle and pumped every working day, 1-2 times, for 6 months.
Features common to both: Both pumps are adjustable in intensity and frequency ofPumping action, and both can be customized with a soft breast shields (these are standard with the Avent IQ). Both are now BPA-free (although I used the Avent IQ Duo, it was not, but Medela has always been BPA-free). Both can be used as a single pump, if you will, for example, the pump one side while the baby feeds on the side (I never did this child would have been distracted, but it seems that an efficient use of time). Both with a carrying case, the bottles base, bags and cold to comeCold compresses. Both are compact, and seem very strong (the Avent more so) if you forget, store it in a drawer before the meeting.
The peculiarities of the Medela Freestyle:
Use hands-free: The Freestyle has earned its name because it can be attached to the belt, and use the speakerphone horns. Unlike previous Medela pumps and other equipment required brand Medela bras, they can be used with most makes and sizes of nursing bras. However, I found theSpeakerphone to be uncomfortable. It 'possible that this was a feature of being relatively well equipped (about 36E / F, breast-feeding), but in the end is not useful for me. However, I have always appreciated the compactness and cable operations, especially while I was pumping at work flow situation. Cord-free/rechargeable: According to the speaker, there would be very useful if you plug in. For example, the Freestyle can be loaded and then some 'must firstneed to be recharged. I do not remember how many times I've loaded, but it was probably after several hours worth of pumps. Travel-Ready: In addition, he worked in 110-220V, and comes with a variety of travel adapter. Adjustable power / speed: The Freestyle adjustments can be made: the strength and speed of the pump function. These are controlled by buttons at the top and bottom on the main unit, and have a range of about 5 settings. There is also a button "disappointment" iscan push the milk begins to flow, and will accelerate and intensify by about one notch each.
Avent Isis IQ Duo features:
Intuitive power-speed control: The winner important for the Avent IQ Duo is the intuitive control. It works a bit 'like the cruise control in the car! The controls are horn-pump, rather than the main pump. The horn-driven sounds a little 'like a normal hand pump, and you can use in this way, with the exception ofthat the control of both horns. But, the frequency and intensity you like pump by turning the lever as often as you want. This is particularly useful for the promotion of disappointment. Once the disappointment is reached, adjust the intensity of the pumping rate /, which is what seems right that day, and then press the blue button and the pump has continued with this setting until you change them again. To change it, what do you do? Just start taking control again, by pressing the "manual control" and set theAfter the blue button. There is no easier than this. Better storage bags: Ok, this is definitely the most important point is tangential to the choice of a breast pump good, but the bottle of storage bags that came with the Avent duo were just easier to use than the Medela. Two tubular, Thinsulate-lined boxes, each with a bottle (two if you squeeze) and fit soft-gel packs. The size of the bags just in my laptop bag or backpack better fit Medela large cube. (On the other hand,Medela Avent bag was better than it is - small and easy to fold if I pack Medela into something else). Soft breast shields are standard: The Avent breast screens has included as soft. They also have these little bumps in them, which presumably contribute to the disappointment could be. I'm not sure if they did, but I prefer the soft breast shields around hard.
What is the bottom line? Well, for my second daughter, was the Medela Freestyle rightly so, because they were outside the movementU.S. to the UK and doing a lot of traveling. On the other hand, with my first daughter, I pumped more and found a less stressful job in general. This was for a number of reasons, but I wonder if the pumps easy: Avent ISIS iQ Duo contributed.
