  I have the Ameda Purely Yours and I am not a fan. It takes forever to pump 3 or 4 ounces. A few times my nipple was purple after pumping. I just got the First Years Pump from a friend, but I haven't tried it yet. I'm interested to hear other ladies experiences.

  I agree with PP the ameda is a PITA. I subsequently got a medela and I get twice a as much twice as fast.

  Ameda pump made my life miserable for 4 months pumping at work, buy the medela!

  I have the Ameda and it works quite well for me. I did have to buy correct fitting flanges but would have to do that with the Medela. I opted for the Ameda because it is a closed system which means the milk doesn't get in the tubing or motor.

  Thanks, ladies! Since insurance covers it, I may get the Ameda as a backup, but will probably look into just buying or renting a Medela one.

  My Ameda works great so far.  I have no problems emptying my breasts and it only takes me around 10 minutes. 
  
  ETA: I usually get 8-10 ounces at a time.

  I also have the Ameda and find it easy to use at work. I can get 8-10 ounces in 15 minutes or less. I also needed to buy bigger flanges. I have never tried another pump so I can't really compare it, but so far I am satisfied. And it was free!
