Breast Pumps - Manual or Electric?

I have a medela electric breast pump (the mini one) would have like the swing but was a bit expensive. I was using a manual but i found it very hard work and i couldnt seem to relax while using it which meant my letdown didnt happen very easily. I went with medela because that was the brand i used in hospital so felt familiar with them. The mini is a bit loud according to some people - but i dont find it too bad. Hope that helps.

I had an avent manual pump and that was great but then last time around I ended up expressing full time so bought a medela mini double electric and that was great also and was quicker as I could pump both sides at once. I use that one now as I sold the manual one but I wish I still had it as I only pump now and then and setting up the electric one is a pain in the butt (not that there's much too it just it would be easier to have a manual one).
