SpectraS1 Plus Hospital Grade Double Electric Breast Pump with Rechargeable Battery, Blue

I’ve been using the Spectra breast pump for a while now, and I’m really happy with it. The quality feels excellent—sturdy and well-built—and it’s surprisingly quiet compared to other pumps I’ve tried. The adjustable suction and cycle settings make pumping comfortable and efficient, which is a huge plus. I’ve noticed a good milk flow, and the closed system keeps everything hygienic and easy to clean. Considering the price, it’s great value for what you get. Definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, high-quality breast pump.

This pump has been a game changer for home use. I was using momcozy wearable prior to this and although they were OK they are not really the best for constant use if exclusively pumping. The spectra is brilliant, excellent battery life compared to wearable lasting twice as long, 2-3 days of pumping 7 times a day for 20-30 minutes currently. Charges quickly within a few hours. It is possible to take it on the move eg use in the car (stationary) but it is quite large to move around the house. Definitely getting better volumes and improved supply since switching to this. The light is a nice touch. Good range of cycle speeds and vacuum levels so you can tailor to your needs fully. Recommended.

We got this to help with boosting breastfeeding and milk production. After going to hospital we saw the difference between the equipment they had and a small breast pump we were using that had a silicone cup. The one we had before this was terrible and barely got a drop out. The first 10 seconds using this gave us the same volume as 10 minutes with the smaller one.This is easy to use. They only include 1 size of cone for attaching over the nipple, but if you are ok with sitting and holding the cone to the breast it isn't an issue. They do include all the equipment needed to pump both breasts at the same time and importantly you can also choose to use mains or battery power with the same quality and level of powerYou can choose to single pump by blocking a port or double pump at the same time.The controls allow for strength and frequency (number of sucks per minute) which is really good to help encourage more flow.It is very easy to use. There's no complicated instructions or procedure for use. When assembled and switched on you can start pumping in seconds. The cup, bottle and valves are all plastic and can be stripped down easily for easy sanitising and even a 3am pump is not too complicated to reassemble.The huge advantage with this is the battery power. You can charge it up and take it on the go or use it while plugged in. We will usually just have it charged and the Mrs will pump in the bedroom after each evening feed until morning.Good quality. Not cheap, but worth it. Recommended. Thank you for reading my review. I hope you found it useful

In total I have breastfed for 5.5 years (different children.. my own ofcourse!) and I have always struggled with pumping. I have tried most pumps on the market. Both my sons were in neonatal so I have tried the hospital pumps too. It was always a struggle to get any milk out. The pumps were never comfortable, they hurt and it would be so disheartening to see nothing but a dribble come out.That is until I tried the Spectra. This one was the first one I felt comfortable when I was using it. It didn’t pinch or pull and I was actually stimulated and let milk down. I struggle with milk supply and this was a great tool to help me increase it in between feeds.There are a variety of settings to suit you, more than any other pump I’ve tried. This really helps to stimulate your milk. I’ve found a double pump is so much better as you’re not missing any let down. You can get different flanges which is really helpful to get the right fit. You can also buy extra parts to make Medela parts fit.But I was content using the Spectra set up alone. It comes with 2 bottles so I would pump into these and transfer the milk into other bottles/bags when I was done.It is easy to set up, you connect the tubes to the flanges and to the pump and you’re all set.I never had any trouble with milk going into the tubes, so washing was always a breeze. It’s very easy to clean. If you can pick up some spare bottles that would be helpful so you don’t have to constantly wash the same 2.The pump is still going strong today. It has lasted me for the last 4 years and helped me with two different breastfeeding journeys. When my second son was on neonatal I actually took this in rather than using their pump as this worked so much better.An added bonus was the noise was soothing for the babies as well. They got so used to it it was like white noise for them. If you are pumping at night there is a handy little light which isn’t bright enough to disturb anybody. There is also a space at the back of the pump to hold a bottle of milk.I would definitely recommend this pump if you’re having trouble with milk supply or you want a more efficient way of pumping. It is great value for money, it’s well made and it lasts.
