Great Manual Pump!
When I went back to work, I quickly learned that my electric pump battery wasn't going to work (there was no electric plugs in the bathroom I was pumping in). This is the 3rd manual I have used. The first is the Medela that came with my Pump in Style. It was a pain. The second was an Evenflo and the top constantly popped off the bottles. This one was perfect. Easy to use, and very comfortable. I pumped 3 times a day at work and was able to continue to breastfeed my son until he was a year old. Also worked on long car rides. I could through a blanket over myself and pump in the car and nobody was wiser. Get this and you will love it. One of hte best parts about it is the Medela customer service you will get with it. I had some problems with my Pump in style and the customer service rep walked me through it step by step. You won't get that with any other company.

Probably the better of manual pumps out there
I am a working mom who returned to work after my son was just one month. My son was exclusively breastfed and I wanted to continue pumping at work. I intend to breastfeed him for a year. I have the Medela In Style electric double pump and it works very well for at home use. I don't bring it to work because it would be too noisy and inconvenient to use. I used the Medela Harmony pump and used it for about 1.5 months and then it stopped working because it lost suction. I think it had something to do with the suction in the handle. After detaching it for washing and sterilization it just wouldn't suction in the same way. I bought another one and the same thing happened about 4 weeks later...no suction. I used my pump quite often...3x per day 5 days a week. I decided to try the Avent Isis manual pump and I can tell you I will definitely be returning to the Medela Harmony! The Harmony is quieter and gets the expression going more quickly. Unlike the Isis the milk doesn't back up so that your hunching over awkwardly to get the milk into the cup while it makes this loud,squishy, indiscreet noise. I can stand upright comfortably with the Harmony. The Harmony pump handle has more room for greater expression upon each pump. The Harmony is smaller and has fewer pieces that need connecting and then unscrewing. The other terrible thing about he Avent Isis is that I fear that the piece that connects the bottle to the pump is going to come undone (since it doesn't screw on tightly) and have breastmilk spill all over. I have hold it in place while I pump....very annoying and uncomfortable. I've used the Avent for a short while and am already planning to buy another Harmony...I'll talk to Medela & find out whether I'm doing something wrong or whether it's caused from my frequent use. If you're going to choose a hand pump choose Medela Harmony. Hope the review was helpful!

REALLY GREAT MANUAL PUMP!!!
I own Medela's Pump in Style Electric BreastPump, use and like it a lot, but I needed to buy a small one for travel - so I got Medela Harmony manual breastpump. It works as well as my electric one, and I think that I got milk flow even faster. The best part - I can control pumping at my comfort level, which is awesome!
I do not think it is the best option if you have to pump a lot, but for occasional job it is great. I did read reviews for different pumps everywhere before I picked this one, and I'm very happy with it. Easy to assemble, no leaks, comfortable, does excellent job! Very lightweight, so I do not have to drag my big electric one around (I travel a bit).
I wish I got it sooner!

Great for moms!
My wife and I bought this pump after coming home from the hospital and using a hospital grade electric pump. We had rented an electric one from a local pharmacy as well, which did not work half as well as the Medela Harmony did. She is able to pump 4 oz. in about 15 minutes and it has worked VERY well so far. I would recommend this others who need a pump but do not want to spend the bucks on a new electric one. This works just as well.

Great for Moms who pump to get some time away!
This pump is great for when I want to stock up a few ounces of milk so I can have the afternoon to myself. I just freeze some milk and my husband can take care of the baby! I wouldn't recommend it for someone who has to go back to work, because it's a single pump and an electric one would get the job done so much faster!

great pump, even for daily use
I am a 1st time mom and breast feeding full time so did not want to invest in an expensive pump as I expected to only need to use it a couple of times a week or so. But I find it so easy and comfortable and quick that I use it every day (so that my husband can do the last feed of the evening). I realise I do have a fast let down but to give an idea, it typically takes me less than 10 minutes or so to express 3 oz of milk per breast. After about 7 weeks the suction had suddenly disappeared and on closer inspection the O-ring had come off the handle. I called Medela customer service and they were very helpful in sending me a couple of replacement o-rings at no charge (since they are a very specific size). It has been working perfectly again ever since. I would recommend this product to anyone.

wasted money
This pump broke the second time I used it. Don't waste $ purchasing this....you'll be better off putting the cash towards an electric pump, which is what I did & am pleased with that decision. I am in the process now of contacting Medela and getting a refund.

Pump works fine
This breastpump matches my expectations.
It's easy to clean and easy to use.
Turning the lever around makes no sense at all so nobody will ever use that feature.

best manual
I tried 2 electric pumps and 3 other manual pumps before I received this one from WIC. It is by far the best for me. I didn't like the electric because they either didn't have enough suction or too much. The other manuals were painful or too hard to control the amount of suction - one of them had a dial on it that didn't work, don't remember which one. Anyway, the shield on this one is comfortable, even with large breasts. The let down system works well. The only problem I have had is producing more than the 5oz. bottle holds - tried using a larger bottle and it didn't seem to suction correctly. I have gone through several of the little white membrane cover things, but they're cheap and you have to expect to replace something as you continually use it. I pump everyday - after feedings and occasionally to replace a feeding.

Perfect!
This pump is exactly what I needed. It works great, is easy to take apart and put back together and easy to clean. On average it takes me 15 minutes or less to pump both sides. It has lost suction before but only when I put it together wrong, so that is my fault not the products. I also love the fact that it will attach to any bottle (or so far I havn't found any that don't work).
