Which breast pump is more practical?

Question

Interested in hearing from people who might have tried both. Does one, hands down, produce more than the others? Which is more practical to take to work? Ty!

Answer

A friend let me use her freemies and imo they didn’t hold enough and the suction wasn’t great.  
The spectras are the same but one has a battery.  I’ve never been anywhere that I couldn’t find an outlet but I have pumped in some interesting spots (on the floor, under a desk, etc) because my cord wasn’t long enough to reach the available outlets and sit somewhere comfortable.

Answer

I produce more with the Spectra. I prefer the blue because it charges and can be disconnected. The pink has to be plugged in at all times to be used.

Answer

I’ve never used a spectra but I have a freemie and it produced the same as my medela pump. The freemie is good for when you’re on the go

Answer

I disagree with others not liking the Freemie. Each cup can hold 8 ounces. And as long as you wear a sports bra style bra and have it on right, there isnt an issue with the suction. It's worked great for me.

Answer

I have the spectra 1. I haven’t tried the others but I will say I’d pick that over spectra 2 because of the rechargeable battery.

Answer

I just got the freemie so I can't tell you yet but if this is your 1st pump I wouldn't take my chances. I would go with the Spectra. I have the S2 already and loved it. In hindsight, I would have gotten the S1 but insurance didn't pay for it. I still plan to use it as my primary pump but I needed something mobile since now I have a toddler with me. 
I've heard some people say the freemie is not as good as emptying like the Spectra 🤷‍♀️ It's not a risk I'm willing to take since you have to completely empty your breast in order to signal your body to make more. I'd be worried my supply would suffer
