Which of these breast pumps are the best?

Question

Initially my insurance said I was not able to receive a breast pump from them but now they said I can pick from any in the attached picture. Was curious if anyone has experience with any of them and could tell me pros and cons. I'm clueless about anything baby related thanks!

Answer

Everyone I know and myself has used Medela and loved it!

Answer

I'm using Hygeia and like it. Plus, I'm not sure if it's the company or my insurance, but they've sent me 3 additional accessory packs free of charge-- tubing, collecting cups, flanges, the whole nine...

Answer

I have only ever used Medela pumps. I used to Medela Symphony (?) in the hospital, Medela Pump in Style Advance and Medela Harmony (manual). I was a pumping newbie in the hospital, so not much feedback there. But the Medela Pump in Style Advance feels the same as the Symphony to me. I got one from my insurance and I use that at home. I also inherited a second Pump in Style Advance from my cousin which I leave in the office, this one is 3 years old and she breastfed 2 kids (a year each) with it, and now I have had it for 3 months, no issues with it. I also bought the Medela Harmony for when I am out and about. Like a PP, I highly suggest getting a manual pump as well. I have had to pump in odd places like the Pep Boys bathroom; I was waiting for them to put on new tires and they took forever.

Answer

I used both Medela and Ameda. I prefered the size of the Ameda and it can run on batteries which is great for pumping in the car. But the Ameda shields are all one piece which was a little more difficult to used with a hands free bra. So it really just depends on personal preference.

Answer

I've used the Medela hospital grade one (sorry--can't recall the name) and the Hygeia Enjoye. I'd get the Hygeia Enjoye. I found it easier to use and easier to clean (this is huge).  You can get additional components ahead of time on Amazon (extra hoses, filters, and such) but you can sub out Medela filters in a pinch. Do yourself a favor--if you have a little money available--get a hand pump as a spare. They are great if the power goes out or if you travel.

Answer

I would say the common consensus is the Medela or Spectra, the first two options on your list. I would google comparisons of the two and pick which would be best for your lifestyle.
