Anyone see/have this? Kiinde feeding system

Isn't this cool?
I watched the video and it seems pretty awesome. My only question is that I usually pool all my milk from the day before and make three even-ish sized bottles and I don't know if that would be a mess to do with the bags.

There is an adapter for each of the major pumps out there to pump directly into the bags. The bags go up to 6oz. What I did was pump 2x a day and get about 2.5 ounces each time. So, I just pumped twice into each bag to make 2 full bottles. If I am going to pump once and know I'm not going to fill 2 entire bags I hook one side up to a bag, and then the other to a regular bottle and just dump bottle into bag (still only 1 bottle to clean vs. 2)
When you're done pumping into the bags you just twist on the cover and freeze. You take the bag right from the freezer into the amazing warmer! Which BTW is quick and fool proof.
I found this system to work great for DH when he was home with LO for a month when I returned to work. No thawing, dumping, combining etc. Just warm, pop in bottle, feed, throw bag away! Nothing to wash but nipple.
My parents and 80 year old grandparents also figured this system out no problem.
As far as bottles/nipples go, the system is designed to mimic breastfeeding. Baby has to latch and suck to make milk come out (unlike other bottles where milk just runs out.) the first few times we had to squeeze a little out for LO but he caught on quick. We also started him on these bottles (about 2.5 months) before he got really used to the others so that may have something to do with it. I know you can use the adapters they give you for the pumps to attach nipples from other bottles onto this bottle (ie: tommy tippie "pump" adapter could be attached to a tommy nipple and put on bottle if you so choose)
Oh and one thing we found is that these bottles cut WAY down on spit up. He didn't go for the slow flow ever with these bottles as I think they are way to slow.
Overall- a really really well spent $100. Wish we would have started with this from day 1. Would have save us a lot of time, and money we wasted on trying 5 different bottles only to not like them. Also time of washing pumping parts, bottles I pumped into, bottles we used, etc.
They have the system without a warmer for like $35, but the warmer is pretty sweet
Any more questions feel free to ask away!
Can you tell I'm a fan lol. I tell all my expecting friends about this and no one believes me bc it looks funny!
