Any opinions/advice on the best electric breast pumps?
I have looked on Trade Me and there is someone selling unbranded pumps for $69 each - the brand names go for around $150. I would probably be pumping 1-2 times a day. cheers for any advice  ------------- |

Oh - should add i am currently renting a Mendela double from the hospital(which works really well) but it is $30 a week so should be much better off buying one ------------- |

| I am using a Medela Mini Electric which I got second hand off TM and it is great. Just make sure you get one that is BPA free - not sure if those cheapies off TM are? |

I borrowed a Medela mini electric for DS1 and just bought one off TM for around $50. I'm happy to sterilise all the bits before I use it but you can replace the 'trumpet' and seal thingies with new ($20-30) and have a virtually new pump.

I just bought an ameda double electric pump. Haven't used it yet but have heard heaps of good things from people who have used one before. -------------

I've got an Avent electric that can also do manual and I prefer it on the manual setting as I can get more milk out. So I don't recommend Avent electric. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I have both the Avent manual & electric pumps as well. I bought the manual 4 years ago for my first & the electric this year which can also convert to a manual pump as well. TBH, I wish I hadn't spent so much on the electric as my trusty old manual pump works better & you don't have to fiddle with the cords or battery.  -------------
