Medela Harmony Manual Breast Pump, Compact Swiss Design with PersonaFit Flex Shields and Medela's 2-Phase Expression Technology

Great quality manual breast pump and aesthetically pleasing too. Easy to use and assemble with the useful and clearly diagrammed brochure and once you've done it the first time is simple to remember and do without the guide. It's very comfortable to use and as it's manual you can control the amount of suction by how you manually pump it. The pump is easy to take apart and clean, can be out into a steriliser or boiled on the stove. It has other size attachments for different nipple sizes that can be ordered, I didn't need to but it was useful to know. Breast milk bags can also be purchased but you can use any brand. It's a great size to store in a cupboard or drawer.

THE best manual breast pump, I tried a few and this brand was by far the best! Easy to sterilise and put together, as well as affordable:)

This manual breast pump worked great in the beginning. The suction was strong, and it helped me express a significant amount of milk with ease. Unfortunately, after only about 10 uses, the suction mechanism broke without any obvious reason and the pump no longer works. For a product that is essential for feeding a baby, I expected much better quality and durability. The most frustrating part is that returns are not accepted, leaving me with a faulty product and no solution. Very disappointing.

We got a second hand set of the Medela in bra electric pumps but they kept failing and I was getting really stressed and my boobs were solid and sore. I decided to go old school and try a manual pump and went for this one based on reviews and popularity..... and I am SO happy! It is really easy to use, super effective and has made me so much happier and more relaxed about pumping! My baby was born with a tongue tie which meant my nipples were so sore and I found the electric pumps only made them more sore. With this one I can control the speed and pressure of the pumping which has really helped. I am so pleased with it I have ordered a second one so I always have one sterilised and to hand. If you are looking for a good, reliable manual breast pump, this is the one! Would also recommend if you are looking for a useful gift for a Mum to be. I would have loved something like this rather than another set of clothing baby can't wear for months (although I do appreciate all the gifts we have received, nothing beats a practical present!).

Great manual pump, there’s a reason these are so popular. Really effective at removing milk quickly and small enough to take out and about. Works with any narrow neck bottle for collection. I actually prefer using this over my expensive electric pump most of the time. However, after a few months of use the tiny rubber o ring seal in the handle broke. Not wanting to throw away a perfectly good pump I bought some replacement rings from a third party seller. These aren’t sold separately by Medela or provided as a spare, despite this seemingly being a common issue. It’s also a shame that the provided 24mm flange is far too big for most people - to prevent injury and improve efficiency I had to purchase inserts.

This is a nice quality professional standard manual pump. Straightforward instructions and easy to put together. HOWEVER after one use I realised it is easier for me to just hand express so I never used it again. So not a bad product but I didn’t find any benefit over hand expressing.

Fab breast pump, a must-have if you're planning to express milk. A little intimidating when it comes out the box, but you soon get your head around all the parts - I honestly thing I could build it in my sleep at this point! Really nice quality and no signs of wear and tear despite dozens of dishwashing and sterilising cycles. I store in the fridge between uses so only needs cleaning every 24 hours. Really efficient at getting milk out, far more so than my little wearable electric. Now that baby has started sleeping through the night, I can pretty regularly get 100-150ml in the morning, which is the perfect amount for a bottle for my little one. Warning that you will likely need flanges to make this work, which I didn't appreciate before ordering. Grab a multipack and try a couple of sizes, as personally I found that I was most comfortable with a size smaller than I technically measured for.

Long story short, this is my opinion, and I don't normally bother to write one, after 4 weeks of frustrations, thought that I'm not capable of more milk for my baby, that nothing works for me (no pump, supplement, food, tea, method etc ) and of course misinformation from professionals and online info in first place. Basically my baby doesn't latch properly (and believe me I've tried EVERYTHING) and also falls asleep quickly while at my breast, so doesn't suck the milk properly, so my breast is not stimulated enough to produce the right amount of milk for my baby. AGONY because I want her to have the best and breast milk is the one. Of course I used formula to top up because of the above problem. From what I read online, many women have the same problem so that's why I'm writing my experience, maybe it will help. To save time, energy, even money, this is what works to produce more milk: - use this manual pump. Or any other, but this one I tried and works very well; that's why I said "even save money" because a manual pump is actually enough. If you find it's weak, that's only because the handle isn't assembled properly, I've done this mistake myself. After proper way, the suction is actually strong and you don't need more than that as it becomes painful. Prior to this pump I've spent money on very expensive electric pumps from the same brand and nothing helped me to get more than 80-100ml from both breasts, with lots of water and supplements included. I also rented the hospital grade from Medela, I sent it back after a few days. The pump is super convenient, very easy to use, to wash and does a very quick and efficient job, can use it anywhere, anytime as a long as you have some privacy! Honestly, I get more milk and faster with this pump than an electric one! No need for bra to keep it on the breast or charging, etc. - while using the pump, here comes actually the most IMPORTANT PART, the one that is vital to produce more milk but noone actually tells you about it! No midwife, no professionals or online articles. Everybody says pump, pump and pump as often as possible for like 15-20 min, BUT that's just not it!!! What you need to do is express the milk with your own hands, also called COMPRESSING the breast. This is the second best way, after baby sucking, to get the milk out of the breasts! No pump, no matter what kind, has the same efficiency as your hands to express the milk! And if you don't empty the breasts as much as possible, they won't produce much milk. So manual pumping with one hand + compressing the breast same time with the other hand, it will give you the best results! - in parallel with the above, hydration, healthy food, supplements, teas, etc will do the very best. The results are almost immediate because a breast that gets emptied as much as possible will try cope with the demand and produce more milk.

Rápido y perfecto, si quieres empezar a hacer un banco de leche es bastante bueno no es cómodo ya que al cabo de un rato la mano te duele, pero me ha ayudado a aumentar la producción de leche para hacer mi pequeño banco, se le pueden poner reductores en el embudo para el tamaño de tu pezon, son varias piezas para lavar pero nada complicado. Trae un recambio de la válvula. Todo genial

After owning 3 electric pumps, two of which are cordless (other brands) and one is a corded one from Medela, I was disappointed about the output multiple times. Even though the breast milk sprayed out like a jet stream when I pressed, the pumps were not effective enough in extracting. I did get an okay amount of milk but I knew I could get much more. I love this pump. Compared to the electric pumps, I think this manual one is more effective in terms of output. The only downside is probably the number of parts it comes in, although that is not too much of a hassle once you get used to it. This manual one is definitely more effective than the others I own.

J'ai commandé ce tire lait manuelle simplement pour vider le trop plein de lait la nuit et éviter les engorgement/mastite) Super simple d'utilisation, très facile a laver et hyper efficace. Je tire environ 250mL en 1min de chaque côté. Très bon produit. Et très robuste ! Je recommande !

Mir sind die elektrischen Pumpen von Medela zu teuer und finde die für den Preis echt top! Klappt super gut :)

Maalesef tek bir damla bile sağmadı. Göğüslerim dolu olmasına rağmen ve tüm kullanım şekline uymama rağmen fiyatına değmez.
