Spectra 9 plus vs Medela

My insurance will cover the cost of a pump. There's is a list for me to choose from and I've narrowed it down to the Spectra or Medela. Any STMs have any opinions? I know Medela has been around a while but the reviews on the Spectra seem just as good.
Thanks ladies

Re: Spectra 9 plus vs Medela

  • I'm not a STM, so I can't speak for the quality of the pumps. But I had narrowed it down to the same two as well based off reviews. I ultimately went with the Medela because the accessories and replacement parts are carried in stores near where I live and the spectras I would have to order online.

    That is weighing my decision. But the spectra seems to have less bad reviews about the motor having issues.

  • I went spectra because I had a Medela before and didn't like it all that much. The hospital lent me a spectra while I was in and I LOVE it! I can't wait for mine to come in.

    Do you know which model it was by chance?

  • I can't say about the Spectra but I love my Medela. This is my 3rd baby and I still have it so it's been good to me so far.

    The one I've been using is the S1. I ordered the S2, but had an option for a 95 (or something like that).

  • I ordered the spectra S2 because I heard great things about it. 
  • After going back and forth, I think that's the one I'm going to order on Monday. Thanks everyone for your input!
