The "Breast" Pump Ever!!
I knew I wanted to breastfeed from the moment I got pregnant. But I also knew that I would be working and I would need a breast pump to express milk when Willow was unable to nurse because I was at work. But, since Willow never latched on, I was glad that I had spent the money and bought what I feel is the best breast pump out there, the Medela Pump In Style Breast Pump.
The great thing about this breast pump is that it has two nozzles so you can express from both breasts at once, if you care to. It has a variable control so you can decide how much suction you would like to have. When I first started, I went with what it felt like when Willow tried to nurse and then as I used it, I was able to up the suction until I had it maxed out. And let me tell you. I know everyone is different, but when I really got into the pumping groove, I pumped an ounce a minute.
I just can't say enough good things about this pump. It's easy to use and has a handy shoulder bag to carry it in and comes with a freezer pack to store the milk. Everything a pumping mom needs!

Almost perfect pump
I bought this breast pump after a mother of 3 recommended buying a medela pump and after buying the manual medela harmony pump. I did my research and decided this was the pump that would suit my needs. I decided to quit nursing but wanted to give my daughter breastmilk. I was also going to be returning to work and needed to pump for when I am gone.
Pros:
After figuring out how to pump properly, I started getting more milk. It has a suction control which helps when I am sore and need a lower setting. It also has a 2 minute letdown which automatically switches to regular pumping. You can also push the button to go back and forth between regular and letdown mode. I like that I can pump one breast at a time or double pump. I liked all the accessories the package came with such as sample nipple cream, breast pads, and bottles. The pump also fits standard bottles. It's easy to clean after each session and has less pieces per breast than the Harmony.
Cons:
It's quite heavy and sometimes a pain to move from the regular spot that I keep it. The bottles did not come with rings so I have to use the rings from other bottles to use the bottle to feed my daughter. The nipple shields were not the correct size and I had to buy a different size.

Truly a life-saver
I was actually considering a different pump before reading some reviews and then decided to spend the extra money and actually purchase this pump. Honestly, I couldn't have wished for a better product! Since it can take upto 4-5 days for a new mom to lactate, I actually started using the pump right in the hospital to help with that and sure enough, after 2 days I was able to feed my baby. To be truly honest, pumping at first felt like torture so I only did it for 4-5 minutes at a time, but it was very well worth the efforts and this pump helped significantly.

Excellent Breast Pump
I purchased this breast pump approximately one month ago. I would highly recommend it to any breastfeeding mother. It has two phases to help stimulate let-down faster. I am a nurse and use a Symphony hospital-grade pump while I'm at work. I honestly cannot tell a difference in the quality between the Pump In Style Advanced and the Symphony. The pump does not detach from the bag but I have not found this to be a problem as other reviewers have. It is an expensive breast pump but well worth the money. And if you do your research you can find it cheaper. I bought mine at bestbuybaby.com for $200 (I think maybe $240 for the metro bag) with no shipping/handling and no sales tax.

Great so far
After using the Medela "Symphony" (hospital grade pump)while I was in the hospital, I called the company to ask them what model could I purchase that came close to the "Symphony" model. They said the "Pump In Style Advance" comes the closest. I purchased it because I had a breast reduction 8 years ago and was not producing much milk. This breast pump has helped increase my milk production and is not painful (as many people have suggested about breast pumping). My only disappontment is that I wish I could just purchase the pump without the travel bag. Maybe that would bring down the cost for people just interested in pumping at home. Also, I wish the actual pump mechanism was removable/detachable from the bag, but it's not in this model. I think you have to purchase the "METRO" by Medela which is even more expensive to get that added ability. Overall, I am happy I bought it.

great product
i had an issue with the delivery of this product but after contacting seller he explained the situation and resolved the matter. my first letter did end up in a spam box though and i had to write him twice to get a response.

good pump, but wish it were available without the bag
The pump itself is great -- I can't compare it to other brands, but I know that it has worked well for me so far. Too bad there are so many parts to clean, but I guess that holds true for all pumps. My only complaint so far with the Medela Pump in Style Advanced is that 1)the shoulder bag is REALLY heavy and not very attractive, and 2)I wish I could buy only the pump (without the bag & all the bulky extras), but still have the two-stage pumping. Other than that, so far so good. I highly recommend this, if you want to spend the money. I also borrowed a friend's pump, which is discouraged by Medela and many websites devoted to pumping. Just so that you know, all the Medela pieces are easily sanitized. I see no problem in borrowing a friend's pump as long as you clean the pieces thoroughly. Or you can even buy your own pieces for a small amount of money.

The Milk Master 2000
Until I found out that we were expecting twins I had never thought about breast pumps. But I love to do research on gadgets and according to all the pages I've read, this is it, the best a woman can get. Maximize your milk production! Trigger your let down response! Buy two, one for the home, one for the office. Be the envy of your neighborhood by pumping "In Style"
