Reviewer: Sue Miller "samosue" (Los Angeles, CA) :
If you are planning to pump on a regular basis, you will really appreciate this reliable, portable pump. Admittedly, it is not as strong as the hospital-quality Medela pump which I rented initially. However, once you get used to this pump you will find it very convenient.

My biggest suggestion for new users is to experiment with the speed and intensity dials. I actually got more milk using a lower speed and intensity level than a higher one. So if you're not getting that much milk at first, try making some adjustments and you may find an improvement.

I know women who have used other pumps and found pumping a very frustrating experience. But with this pump, it will be about as convenient as pumping can be. My advice is to get a magazine or book, keep it with your pump and just relax - the pump will do the rest. (You'll have to stop every minute or so to turn pages - you will risk spilling the milk otherwise).

I agree with one of the reviewers that you do have to lean forward a little bit or the milk will spill, but I think that's probably true with any pump.

I think it's a great investment, because the more things you do to make breastfeeding and pumping convenient and enjoyable the more likely you will continue with it. (My baby is nine months old and still exclusively breastfed). Good luck!

Reviewer: Jill Wilson (Chantilly, VA):
I used the back-pack model of this pump when I returned to work after having my son. It's discreet and since it's a backpack, you can carry it plus a work bag over your shoulder. If you are working full-time or even part-time and have limited time for breaks during your day, it really makes sense to spend the extra $ to get an electric, double pump. I was able to pump twice a day for 15 minutes each and get enough milk to keep my son on breastmilk alone for a year.

This pump also comes with batteries, which are helpful if you have to go to a meeting away from your office and need to pump in a public bathroom or somewhere w/o a plug. You can also get a car adapter. The only part I didn't like was the clean-up, but this is not exclusive to the Pump in Style. I recommend buying the microwaveable steam-cleaning bags. You just rinse the parts, put them in the bag with a little water, and stick them in the microwave for 3 minutes. Great for work and home.
