  If you have the money, I would buy it. 

  
  

  Can you return the Medela?  

   
  

  
  

  Unable to even.

  Wow - great price! Since you are using your own pump parts, it seems like too good of a deal to pass up.

  Are you sure that the insurance one isn't the same? I got one from the insurance that was the exact same as my Pisa.
  
  Also these are not closed systems like the symphony/hospital grade so I wouldn't buy second hand. Especially with a premie.

  I don't know if I can return it. Insurance covered it 100%. Is there any benefit to trying to return it?

  Does your pump look like this? @aforst‌

  I wouldn't buy it, or any used open pump from a stranger.
  
  The Medela PISA is an open pump which means milk particles still get into the pump diaphragm and stay there. It cannot be sterilized. Even with brand new pump parts, the other moms milk particles will get into your milk.

  Also, on the insurance pump, the button above the AC adaptor is the let down button, no?

  That's not the pump I have. The one I have has an on/off switch and you can adjust the suction. There is definitely no let down button

  I didn't have a let down feature with mine and would just change the suction and speed after a bit.

  As @RondackHiker‌ said you could just use lower suction until you get a letdown and then increase it.

  I couldn't see your picture but this one is mine. I usually do increase the suction when I have a letdown and that seems to help. My pump is fine, that just seemed like a good deal for all that stuff. I've been reading more about open systems and I don't think I'll get it.
