Review on πŸ”Œ Medela Swing Maxi: USB-C Rechargeable Double Electric Breast Pump with Bluetooth & Portability by Janet Baker

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great for on the go feeding

I got a free Medela pump to try and give an honest review. I originally expected a lot from this pump, it's number 4 on my pumping journey. I initially had issues with him because he didn't look like a match, but emailing support helped me sort out my issues. The details looked like they should match, but didn't. After speaking to support, I realized that as long as the suction is in place, everything will be fine. As for this pump, it's great for travel. The suction is efficient and the bag makes the pump very easy to carry. The flanges come in 21mm and 24mm which really helped me figure out what size I needed (all my other pumps had 25mm and 28mm options). I also really liked the rubber flange edges as they made it more comfortable to hold the pump on your chest. I've used it on road trips and its size and portability made it easy to inflate in the car. It was quiet too. My biggest complaint is that you can't check the battery level if you don't have the Medela family app. This isn't a problem when you're at home, but it can be harder to track when you're out and about. Another argument against it is that if you press the button while pumping to change the suction power, for example, it will restart the 30-minute countdown to shut off. All in all, this is a good pump. Very easy to clean and use even without application.

Pros
  • Well built
Cons
  • Makes me angry
