Spectra 9 Plus Portable Double Electric Breast Pump

I don’t understand these one star reviews because it’s a portable pump, of course it’s not going to be exactly like the wall pump with all the options. I used this for 18 months with my daughter and I only had to pump about 5 mins longer for the same output as my S1. For size and convenience, it’s amazing. Traveled with me all over the country and couldn’t live without it! If you’re considering it, so it. I love it’s the same flange etc as the wall spectra and has a great battery life!

This is the worst breast pump I’ve ever used. I received it through my insurance (which is the only saving grace) and it seemed to work well at first. Well around 3 months post-partum I went from pumping 6-9oz total to around 2-3 max if I was lucky. I thought my milk supply was depleting and I was super worried. I replaced all of the parts and that didn’t help. Then my friend offered her old Medela to borrow and I gave that a shot. Wow, night and day difference. I’m at 6 months post-partum and finally have a milk supply built up. I pump 8-10 oz at a time and do it in way shorter period than the Spectra’s 30 min cycle. I would likely not be breast feeding any longer if it wasn’t for my Medela. I highly recommend you look elsewhere for a pump.

Hospital grade at first, but within months becomes a worse grade than any Willow or discreet pump.

I have mixed feelings about this pump. I LOVE the design and concept of it! I also love that you don’t need to completely more supplies if you already have spectra products (eg: spectra S1 or S2) you get some flanges with all spectra pumps so it’s like getting an extra pair! I rotate my flanges and pumps parts when my others parts are getting cleaned and sanitized. The suction is a bit weaker versus my S2 plus. I guess I expected a good suction like the S2 since it’s the same company that makes hospital grade pumps, that’s my mistake. If you’re looking into this pump thinking it will be the same suction power as the wall plug-in than you should know it doesn’t.
