Electric Breast Pump Duo, Serene Express

This is a pretty decent pump. I own a Spectra S1 but wanted something lightweight to take to work. I do not like the flanges it comes with. I found that the Spectra backflow protectors do fit the tubing. Once I connect it to that, I use it with my Spectra, Pumpables or Maymom collection kits for Spectra.I found that Spectra is more forgiving about incorrect flange size or old parts than this pump. I was initially not getting good output and ended up with clogs with Rumble Tuff. It turned out that I needed a different flange size and new valves. Once I took care of those issues, this pump worked great.In comparison to Spectra, the output is comparable and takes less time. It is a bit more loud but I can live with that. I like its let down function more than Spectra. The highest suction setting on this pump is comparable to the level 10-11 suction in Spectra IMO. Since that is the highest that I can go, it is not an issue for me. The good thing is that the let down suction levels go as high as expression suction levels. This was a big issue with Spectra where their let down stopped at level 5 and I had a hard time getting a second let down while pumping at level 9 or 10. Note that the lowest suction setting on this pump is still on the higher side. I would compare it to level 3 in Spectra. If you are not used to high suction, it may take some time getting used to.

This is the first pump I used after having my son. I usually got 4-14 ounces with each pumping session and my milk would let down in 1-3 minutes. This pump did an amazing job at removing Milk from my breasts. Unfortunately, the pump membranes tear easily and are expensive to order and replace. Also, the motor of this pump began dying at about 9 months of use. I was super bummed out because of how good this pump was working, so I ordered another one. I loved the great suction I got with the new pump, but after about 6 months, this pump died. I was so bummed again. This time I ordered a Medela Pump In Style Advanced. I was thoroughly disappointed in this pump. My milk would NEVER let down with the Medela pump and I would only get 0-2 ounces total with each pump. While I am upset that the Rumble Tuff pump doesn't last long, when it does work it works amazingly.

I love the pump. It does almost a better job than my Medala that I keep at home. I LOVE the timer function on it. However, I didn't realize when I bought it that you can't order extra or replacement parts. I wanted to get two more bottles to use a day, but you can't order them in the US. They seem to make them for Europe, but I couldn't find a way to get my hands on any. If anythign breaks on this, I won't be able to get replacement parts either, so just be careful of that.

I like this pump for its gentle suction still gave me almost same compared with my avent duo pump(I can only bear the lowest suction using avent). It's quiet and can be taken out by using battery that is impossible for my avent which only used adapter in house. I might would give it 5 marks if they provide cover for the shields, and don't let milk come easily between cushion and shields (the same problem for their manual pump as well). Anyway, I'm still satisfied with this purchase and one more good thing of their manual pump is easy to help let down.

Daughter said it was a good one for any new or repeat mom

Using a few times daily. Have over 100 4 oz bags of breast milk thanks to this pump. It's small, discreet, quiet & works great. Love that it keeps the time of my pumping. Getting ready to take it to work to pump when I return from my leave. the bag is just a cloth recycle looking bag. Going to use something else for transporting.

Great pump for great price. Works great, has adjustable settings. I have no complaints. I've even dropped it on the floor several times, and it still works.

I can express more milk using my Medela Harmony than this one.
