Philips Avent ISIS iQ Uno Electric Breast Pump – White

Phillips Avent is the best system
This pump is so liberating for my wife. I found it online and bought it before vacation and it gave us so much more flexibility. My wife loves it because it is battery powered and yet it can be plugged when near AC power. Additionally it can be used manually if no electric source is available. Fits in a medium size hand bag. She takes it to work and can express anywhere she needs.

Wife recommends having the Phillips Avent Twin Electronic Pump SCF304 Avent Bpa Free Isis Iq Duo Twin Electronic Breast Pump with Free Lighter Adapter for home use.

The entire Philips Avent product line is the most well thought out, best engineered system I have seen from any product offering.
Highlights:
-Parts from all pumps are interchangeable
-Milk storage containers are snugly stackable, have a press lock seal/twist off top
-Nipple Cap fits bottle cap
-Breast cup protecting disk serves as a bottle bottom stabilizer
-According to my wife, it feels like the closest thing to a real baby; the massaging action that the cup liner stimulates is ideal over a standard cup with no liner. She has tried Medela pumps and strongly prefers Avent.

My personal opinion is that these electronic Avent pumps are luxury items; but I can think of no better time to pamper your wife than when she is expressing milk for your baby.

Enjoy!

horrible waste of money!!
I used this pump for three months and then it stopped being effective and then suddenly quit all together! Before it quit working it was great and efficient, though due to only lasting three months I rate it very low. Also if you have to pump while at work I recommend a double pump, a single pump just takes too long.

Avent ISIS Uno Electric Breast Pump
This has been a huge time and effort saver for my wife. We never tried to rent one from the hospital but this works really well for us. We heard from the hospital that with the rental one must still buy certain accessories since it will touch the milk and that's nothing something you get to return when done. It's a big commitment to spend like 0-0 and then rental. This worked really well for us given my wife was hand expressing milk in a bottle until our son had a good latch. It does take a little to get use to the various parts that must be assembled but you get use to it quickly.
I read about this in Baby Bargains 2009 book and it rated at the top. For sure there are others, but as the book pointed out this Avent ISIS Uno can convert from electric to manual which may be handy, but we've only used it with the electric pump. I did see at Target some brand that had a handle in the middle and a suction cup on the other side (might have been the Natural Comfort model) but I did not seem to find it rated in Baby Bargains. I decided (as a father) that I'd go with the better reviews.

This thing rocks - it's a beast!
It's solidly built and pumps better than a BP oil rig. It instantly adjusts speed by mimicking what the user shows it. It's simple to assemble and wash too. It's made in England. I haven't seen something made there in a long time! Jolly good job!

Much easier than a manual pump
My wife loves it!!!!This pump takes the labor out of the manual pump. If you follow the instructions step by step and ensure you get a good seal ,it will work like a charm. Also, you can interchange the components and use it as a manual pump. I wish I would of bought this product first before I bought the manual one. I could of saved money. The only difference between the manual and this one, is the pump/motor, everything else is the same. Remember read the instructions and assemble correctly and it will work with excellent results.
