Awesome breastpump!
This breast pump is well worth the money. It is easy to use and transport around. It was almost as good as the hospital grade pump I used while in the hospital. If you are going to be pumping more than a few times, I highly recommend this.

Medela Pump in Style Advanced Breast Pump with Backpack
This is the second one of these I purchased as a gift. The first was for my daughter. She loved it so much she recommended I get one for her sister.

A lifesaver for a working mom.
I used this pump 3 times a day from when my daughter was 6 weeks old until I quit pumping (but not breastfeeding) at 1 year old. It allowed me to pump quickly by doing both breasts at the same time and was easy to use and keep clean. I would recommend this to any mom out there who wants to continue to breastfeed after returning to work. It'd probably be overkill if you were a stay at home mom who just wanted a pump though. It's more geared toward the working or exclusively pumping mom.
A couple of tips - get an extra set of horns, tubes & valves (or more than one extra set) so you're not panicking if you don't have time to scrub them every night. I had enough that I could just rinse them out after and not have to do the dishes EVERY night and it was nice. Also, since I work in a mostly guy environment, instead of just putting bottles of breastmilk in the refrigerator, I would put them in the little cooler that came with it and store them in the fridge until it was time to take them home. That way the guys didn't have to deal with staring at the bottle of breastmilk sitting next to their sandwiches (you know how weird guys are sometimes!).
Oh, and the little, long, skinny brush that Dr. Browns makes to clean their bottles with makes an EXCELLENT brush for getting in the little crevices in the horns/connectors.

Great Product
I'm a Mom of two and I work full time. I belive this is the best investment I made considering Breast Milk is the best for my baby. It is quick and easy and clean up just takes a few minutes. I recomend this product to any Mom who wants to give their baby a healthier life.

Must buy for working moms
Have been using this for 2 months. And am extremely happy with this buy. Have not used anything else before this so cannot compare with other products. But it works for me .Its small and compact . The shoulder bag makes it easy to carry it to work. It also has ample space for me to put other things. I would say a must buy for all working moms :)

good but not great
I got the Medela because I knew I would have to return to work and wanted the pump with the best reviews. Well, this was it, but 9 months into the pump-life I am not perfectly happy.
Pros:
1) Discreet, convenient
2) Pumping 2 at once and electric is really convenient. I purchased one of the handsfree kits (really just a tube top with holes around the nipples) and I can continue to work at my desk while pumping. (Door closed, of course).
3) Easy to purchase parts for. This is really important. I can go to my local Target and get parts for this. It is not so easy with some of the more obscure brands.
Cons:
1) Motor seemed to wear out some after about 6 months of daily use. It still pumps, but I have to turn the power higher to get the same amount of voltage. I don't feel that I could use this for a second child. It's not only a "one person" product as described in the manual, I think it's meant to be a "one baby" product as well.
2) Battery-operated feature doesn't work well at all. It requires 8 AA batteries, and loses power by the end of the first session. For pumping on the road I recommend the car charger (sold separately).
I ended up purchasing an Avent Isis hand pump to supplement this one. It is easier to use when I am home and I actually get just as much milk from one breast with the Avent as I do with this, in about the same amount of time. The difference is that I can strap the Medela on and keep working. If I didn't have the handsfree kit it would be very inconvenient to use the double pumping feature.

works great
The Pump in style works great comes with all the extras,nice storage space(pockets on sides and back). very discreet design. Works just as well as the hospital grade (medela symphony)in my opinion. Travels well took mine on vacation, the only ones that could tell was the x-ray guy in airport security.

What a lifesaver!
I used this pump faithfully for 12 months, several times a day. It allowed me to go back to school and finish school while knowing that my child was getting the best possible nutrition. I never had a problem with it and it was very convenient. I had more trouble finding time to pump. When I was done with it I gave it to my friend who wanted to keep breastfeeding after she went back to work. 9 months later it is still going strong.
