Medela Freestyle® Mobile Double Electric Breast Pump

This pump is simple to use and EASY to travel with. I originally borrowed it from a friend for our trip to Hawaii and FELL IN LOVE. I went ahead and made the purchase for myself, zero regrets! Thanks for a great product

I bought this pump hoping it would help ease the whole pumping on the go, so far im really enjoying it i can clean the house and cook and so on while pumping makes it so much easier. No more being trapped to a machine.

I decided to get the freestyle pump cause I'm always on the go and needed one with a battery to pump when I worked cause I worked on a farm and there's no where to plug into. Best decision I made even though my insurance didn't cover it all. Another awesome thing about the freestyle is the clip on the back of the pump! Just clip it to your pants and go about your duties while pumping!

I purchased this through another website so that my insurance could cover part of the cost, and I have loved my pump ever since! After I purchased it, I read some bad reviews and was super nervous. I have never had one problem! The pumping levels are great, and I can pump 10 ozs in about 10 minutes. This helped me build my milk stash before return in to work, and it's helped keep my milk supply up while I'm still on maternity leave. The tote bag makes it super easy to travel with & is very discreet (just looks like a regular bag!). The parts are very easy to disassemble, clean, and reassemble. LOVE my pump and will recommend to everyone who plans on breastfeeding and working.

I agree with the other reviews that 1) if you bend over using this pump, you can loose milk due to the slit in the suction pump 2) after cleaning and re-assembling the breast-shield connectors it was a hit or miss if the suction would work on the first try- even after replacement I remedied these by squatting instead of bending, and turning the setting to the highest (usually this would create enough suction and it would start working again and I could put it back at normal level after a minute or two). Even with these two flaws I loved it and would recommend the Freestyle. The mobility it gave me was excellent- it being compact and easily wearable. I loved using it while traveling-car & plane tested by me!

After about a month of having your pump, only one side works and the other one does not have enough suction. I've tried changing the tubes to the other side but only one side works. It's frustrating when I want to pump on both sides but when the one pump does work, it is nice. Also, I never received my check for paying for it in cash in my insurance paid me back.

I ordered this pump because of its portability but I have not been satisfied with it. The parts are difficult to put together and it seems like if everything isn't lined up just right then it doesn't have enough suction to achieve a letdown. Sometimes I have to take the flanges apart a few times before it works, and moms spend enough time pumping without this hassle. I prefer my older pump, it's simple and the parts are fast to assemble, not to mention it was the basic double electric pump and much less expensive than this one.

I bought the pump brand new and the battery will no longer charge. It wasn't even an Year yet. So now it's no longer freestyle because i have to have power cord plug in to pump. I had Medela in the past for my other kids and they lasted multiple years! The cost of replacement battery is higher than just getting a used pump from resale market. I am super disappointed. Will not recommend Medela to any of my friends anymore.

I purchased this pump after tons of research and for its cord free option. However, for a mom returning to work who is exclusively pumping, this pump has been a struggle, every pump. The parts do not go together easy and if they aren't just perfect, the pump doesn't work. I have even ordered two sets of replacement parts hoping to make my life easier in the middle of the night. No such luck. Every pump is a trial and error of which parts will work today. I am very let down as if pumping/breastfeeding isn't a process in itself. I am in love with all my other Madela products, I love the bottles, accessories and cleaning supplies, I just wish my pump was easier and more convenient to use. I wish I would have gotten a different model.

I should have read the other reviews when buying this product. This machine is light weight and great in theory but it doesn't work well. It spills milk everywhere and the battery dies out after using it for 1 or two session. Note : this needs to be charged 24 hour prior to using it. In addition, it is difficult to take out and clean. I wish I could give this 0 star. Medela this is disappointed. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
