What brand of pump

Hey,I just wanted to ask what kind of pump do you use and what you think about it? I have been on the search for a good pump for a good price. I will be going back to work part-time so would like to have one that is not a pain in the butt. I had my eye on a platex pump for 199$ but it only got 3 out of 5 stars. It seems like all the ones that got 5 stars are over 300$

    I have a medela pump in style advanced and I love it! It was worth every single penny that I paid for it! They say if you breastfeed one yr you save $2500 so in my opinion, it's WELL worth the investment. And that's not counting the health benefits.

    I have the Lansinoh Double Electric and am still using it and have had no problems.  I'm a SAHM, but I've done a decent amount of pumping so I could go to the gym, date nights and a couple overnight trips.

    I also had the Medela Pump In Style. Was WONDERFUL, very easy to use! I think it was well worth the price as I was able to breastfeed the entire first year with its help.

    I have both of the pumps that pp have. (it's a long story but yes I have two) The medela & the Lansinoh. They work exactly the same. Same suction, I get the same amount of milk no matter which one I use. I don't breast feed, I exclusively pump so I use them a lot. The medela has a few extra bells & whistles - it has a bag, a cooler, & 2 extra bottles, it also stimulates your nipples before expressing (you can do this easily on your own) but in my opinion it's not worth the extra money. Good luck.

    I got the Medela Pump in Style Advanced.  From what I've read, the less expensive pumps are not worth the money.  It is definitely worth it to get a better one.  I think the Lansinoh pump is a good one but not as $$$ as the Medelas.

    I have the Lanisnoh and love it.  I pump 3x a day at work and have done so for nearly 4 months now.  It holds up like a champ, and is so much less expensive!  I got mine on sale at Target for $130.
