Hand pumps vs. Dual electric?

With my youngest son I exclusively breastfed then added a hand pump when I returned to work. I was wondering for those who use double electric pumps how fast can you empty both breast would it be more efficient to have an electric one, when I return to work; I will be very busy and work 12hrs.

    No question, you should get a double electric.  Pumping took me 15 minutes total (on a slow day) with mine when I went back to work.

    Dual electric, hands down. You can't beat the efficiency in a pump. I had a dual electric and a single hand pump with DS. I only used the hand pump when I was out and felt overly full to the point that it was uncomfortable. The electric pump is 100x better!

    Go for the dual electric.  It took me maybe 10 or 15 minutes to empty both.

    I have both and using the dual electric at work took 15 minutes start to finish (including cleaning up).  The manual one I used sparingly and can't imagine using it daily at work to pump.  It would have taken forever!
