Elvie breast pump???

Question

Does anyone have the Elvie pump? What do you think about it? Pros? Cons? 
Ive read all about it but would like to hear from first hand experience.
Baby is due in July and I’m trying to decide between the Elvie and the Willow. 
**I noticed whenever someone asks about one of these pumps, people always suggest different pumps. As much as I appreciate it, I’m
 not interested in anything other than the wireless/tubeless pumps, thank you though!

Answer

Updating to share that I’ve now been using the Elvie as my exclusive pump since I received it on Feb 19th (2weeks ago). I am still in love with the pump itself. It is so easy to use, very comfortable to wear, and works well from a pumping perspective.
Also, should note that I paid for this myself and have no connection to the company, I was just super excited for a hands free pump.
A few notes:
- Need to be careful when leaning over while pumping because you will get leakage (especially after pumping for 10 minutes or so
- have to be sure to save your session in the app right after pumping or you can lose the session completely and there is currently no way to manually add a pumping session
- the app has not been correct once on the amount of milk pumped, but I just update the quantity when I check before emptying the bottles
- i tested output with my Spectra once earlier this week and still found the Spectra to be way less comfortable (suction is just too strong for me) and the output was the same (maybe even a little less) than the my usual output with the elvie - which for me is about 6-7oz total.(see screenshot below for today’s output)
- little tough to hold my little one while pumping at first, but after a bit of practice figured out the most comfortable position for her and I

I love this pump and find it has been worth every penny. It has completely replaced my Spectra. I highly recommend it to any exclusive pumper who is sick of being tied to a pump constantly or any on-the-go mom.
History this week (March 3rd is the day i used the Spectra to compare)

Answer

Love love love. 
I just received mine yesterday and I am really impressed. I was lucky enough to get the double pump the day they were released to the US. 
I used a Medela In Style with my first and then got a Spectra this time- I have been able to get more milk with the Elvie than either of the corded pumps. I exclusively pump, so this is a game changer.
Other Pros:
1. No cords and no tubes - the primary reason I got it
2. Seems to hold charge well - think I could get 3-4 pumping sessions without charging if needed  (only 2 days in, so maybe this will change) 
3. Easy to put together and clean
4. The reusable bottles are so much better than the bags required for the Willow (primary reason I chose the Elvie over the Willow)
5. I find the comfort level is great - I may have had my Spectra turned up too high, but every session was a little painful. Not at all the case with Elvie to the point that I forget I am wearing it every now and then
6. Really quiet. I can barely hear it while it’s running. 
Cons:
1. The app is a little finicky - it doesn’t read the amount accurately and can disconnect from the pumps. With hardware that works as well as the Elvie, I am not too concerned about the app part and assume it will get better
2. The start and pause button is located at the top of the pump and lights up. It can show through your shirt and I can’t figure out how to turn it off, so discrete pumping may not be as easy as they say. 
Hope this helps!

Answer

My first post but the Willow changed my life. You have to follow the tips and tricks to avoid getting air and getting a bit more in each bag (YouTube has tons of videos), but I actually enjoy pumping now. It’s like a little game for me! I can do it working, cleaning, or half asleep laying down (that’s the best part).

Following because I want one of these and can’t seem to get solid feedback off either one!
