Medela Breastpumps- 2 questions

MsPurple24 · April 2011

Right now I'm just using the Medela Harmony (handheld/manual). But since I've started pumping more frequently and plan on pumping at work in the future, I want to invest in one of the double electrics. I have two questions:

1. Do you recommend the Pump In Style or the Freestyle?

2. Where can I get the best deal on one of those two? I know that BRU occasionally runs sales... should I wait for one or is there a better price out there?

TIA!

I bought the PIS backpack, I never had any problems with it. I think the best place to get them is amazon from what I've seen.

I have the freestyle and love it! I love how compact it is, and if I need to I can just throw everything in the diaper bag instead of taking an extra bad just for the pump.

I think amazon might have the best price.

Another vote for the freestyle. Though, I never did use a PISA. I love that the battery on the freestyle is rechargeable, and the whole thing is so compact and lightweight. Totally worth it, IMO. Don't know about pricing, really. I got mine at BRU with lots of coupons.

I've got the PIS and it's fine, I've never used anything else, so I can't compare, but I have no complaints. I got mine from BRU with some combination of coupons and gift cards.

Thanks, everyone!

I got the PISA Metro bag & love it. I can take the pump part out and just stick it in the diaper bag when I need to go somewhere. We ended up buying it here . You send them a request for a price & they email it to you. It was like $100 less than BRU & I think free shipping so totally worth it :-)

Freestyle all the way! The handsfree was key for me, especially with work and a work wardrobe. The battery lasts quite a while. I got mine at BRU with coupons and gift cards, but I would imagine you could find a better deal.

I have a PISA and love it, but a friend of mine who had both and pumped at work (like I do) said she likes the Freestyle better because of portability. Pump-wise, the output was comparable on both.
