Ameda Breast Pump Reviews

Before spending any money for a pump, I did a lot of research. Based on everything that I found the Purely Yours is supposed to be a good pump, and it really does live up to its expectations. It is comfortable and very easy to use. Cleaning it is easy (only 2 pieces for each side - fewer pieces to wash than with a bottle). And it is small enough for me to toss in a tote bag when I go to work.

I got the bagless option that only came with 2 bottles so I also bought the Milkmate storage bottles, which work great with this pump. This pump is worth the money.

this pump was offered to me at the hospital and i am so glad i got it!! my daughter was not able to get the hang of nursing, so at 3 weeks i turned into a full time pumper. i worked full time and we succesfully completed a full year of breast feeding. this pump was so easy to use, and the car adapter was my best friend!! i don't reccomed using bateries unless it is an emergency because i did'nt have the greatest luck getting them to work consistently. i am currently expecting my second and fully intend on bringing this out of storage for another year. no complaints, very highly reccomended.
p.s. i don't normally write reviews on anything, but this pump is worth its weight in gold!!!

I was so worried about buying a breast pump because most of them are quite expensive and you cannot return them if they don't work out. My first choice did not work out well at all. I bought an Evenflo double electric pump that never worked for me.

Needless to say, I did a lot more research before making my second purchase. I read a lot of good reviews about the Ameda Purely Yours so I figured it was worth a try. The pump even came pre assembled, which was a HUGE plus for me. The Purely Yours has really worked well for me. I have been able to speed up my pumping time and have increased my supply. I have been very satisfied with this pump from day one.

This pump has saved me a lot of money while using it with two babies. Now we are expanding the family, I know I can take it out of storage, dust it off, and use it with the third child. It is a very lightweight, durable workhorse. I have tried Medela and Playtex ( just for comparison's sake) and it is the better pump. Thank goodness I went to a hospital that had Ameda pumps and not Medela, or I may have gotten the medela out of ignorance.

This pump is easy and convenient, ecspecially if you are working full time.I've used it with my 3 children and using it with my 4th which i recently gave birth to.I recommend it to anyone who plans to breastfeed while working.

I was an exclusive pumper for 3 months...this pump is awesome and very much similar to a hospital grade pump! Highly recommended!

I was trying to decide which Medela pump would be the best for me until a friend suggested the Purely Yours. I am so glad that she did because this pump is fantastic. I had used a Medela when I was in the hospital so I thought I'd just go ahead and buy one of those, but I felt the Ameda was so much better for me.

One of the first reasons it was appealing to me was it was much more affordable than my previous pump. Also, it had more adjustable suction options so I figured it would be less painful to pump with -I was right. The pump is also quite small so it doesn't take up a lot of space and it is very easy to clean. I recommend this pump for first time moms because it is very easy to use.

I started looking into getting a breast pump even before my son was born. I knew I wanted to have the option of having extra milk around in case I wasn't able to breastfeed. Everyone kept raving about the Medela Pump n Style. After seeing the price tag on that baby, I was in shock. Almost $300 for a breast pump? Are you kidding me? I desperately searched around for an alternative, but everyone kept telling me to get the Medela because nothing was better. Finally someone mentioned that my hospital sold an excellent pump for $199. I went and checked it out, but having no experience with a breast pump, I wasn't really sure if it was good. After speaking with a lactation consultant who assured me it was excellent and every bit as good as the more expensive pumps, I purchased the Ameda Purely Yours Breast Pump with Carry All.

I had never heard of the Ameda pumps before. All I knew was Medela. I'm very glad this brand was introduced to me. It's an excellent high quality breast pump. So if you are looking for a pump and are hesitant to plop down a ton of money for the Medela, check out the Ameda Purely Yours. I found my pump at BreastPumpsDirect.com for the lowest price. It's great and I love it!

This pump worked great for me. I was able to express a LOT of milk. More than my baby drank per sitting, which helped reduce the number of times I needed to pump a day. I worked full-time, so I only breast-fed my baby a couple times per day. I was able to continue until 9 months easily, without a losing milk production.

Pros: I liked that the milk could not get into the tubing. That made the whole thing sanitary and easy to clean. It was easy to get additonal parts. I needed the large size cup, and I just ordered online. No problem. I liked the multiple settings I could choose.

Cons: It really pulled on my breasts. My nipples would STRETCH when I pumped. Now, my nipples look a little funny. But I think any suction pump would do this.

I had to choose between the Medela pump and this one, the Ameda. I chose this one because it was smaller, uses batteries or a car adapter and it was priced more affordably. When I use it I can empty both of my breasts in about 15 to 20 minutes. The variable suction and cycle speeds can be real lifesavers. At first pumping made my nipples were sore so I used the lower settings, but now I have been able to slowly increase the speed to speed up the pumping process. The cooler makes it easy to store my milk during the day while I’m at work and the carryall bag is great for carrying the pump and accessories to and from work everyday.

As an added bonus this pump is quite inexpensive when compared to other comparable pumps.

I received this pump as a gift from a friend. I just had my second child and use it every day to have a couple bottles stored away for outings. I used a manual pump for my 1st child and that was a nuisance and I quit breastfeeding after going back to work when my daughter was only 4 months old. Using this pump, I'll continue feeding my baby breastmilk much longer...hopefully the first year.

This is a great breastpump. It's very easy to use and very lightweight. I use it at home and work every day (I pump 4 times daily). I've even begun using it while I feed. It moves throughout my house and back and forth to work with very little fuss. Without it, I think I would have stopped breastfeeding when I returned to work.

I love it! Won this at breastpumps.com & it has been wonderful, definitely as good as the ones that I used to rent from the hospital and the bag & car adapter make it so convenient.. Thank you Breastpumps.com, I would definitely reccommend the Ameda Purely Yours with Carryall!

My son stopped nursing altogether when he was 2.5 months old, and despite help from a lactation consultant, I never managed to re-establish our breastfeeding relationship. But, thanks to this awesome pump, he's still getting 100 percent mama milk, four months later!

I had originally planned to get the Medela pump, but a friend highly recommended the Ameda, and it was so much less expensive that I thought I'd try it. This model comes with the pump unit, the "hygienikit" (the flanges, tubes, etc.), a small cooler bag to put milk in, six 4-ounce bottles (with caps), a larger tote for the whole shebang, and info on milk storage.

The pump itself has worked great for me. I pump about 45-60 ounces of milk per day, and it's shown no signs of wear. It's a little noisy, but not awful -- and from my understanding, pretty much ALL pumps are on the loud side.

I also find the pump quite comfortable to use. The variable speed and suction settings make it easy to find the right one for you.

My only complaint is that the way everything fits into the totebag -- with the cooler bag on the bottom, then the pump, then the flanges -- it's rather top-heavy (unless you have milk in the cooler) and tends to tip over. It's not a big deal, but it is a minor annoyance.

I have been using this pump at work for the past 5 months and have been pleased. I had one issue and Ameda was quick to send me another pump. It fit the pump parts I was given in the hospital, so I have 2 sets of horns--a huge bonus. I would definitely buy it again.

I bought my pump at Amazon! They had fast shipping and a good price.

This one looked the best to me. I have to go back to work after 6 wks so I need a pump that will last a long time and get the job done in a fast and easy manner.

I have used this breast pump to pump for both of my children. With my first child I was able to exclusively pump for over 1 year and never needed to supplement with formula once. I was able to get a lot of use out of it. Now three years later with my second child (he is 3 months) I am still using this pump without any problems (even though it was in storage for over 3 years). Although I’ve used the pump without any problems, I have needed a few replacement parts here in and there, but Ameda’s customer service has always been extremely helpful and accommodating.

I absolutely love my Ameda Purely Yours breastpump. I was hooked on the Ameda pumping system right away after reading your reviews. While at the hospital, I was able to try an Ameda and a Medela before purchasing my own. The Ameda was a clear favorite right away. The Medela was much more difficult to clean especially when compared to the easy clean up of the Ameda.

I have been able to use my Ameda Purely Yours pump where ever I go thanks to the two power alternatives. I always keep a set of AA batteries in the backpack just in case I need them and I always keep the included car adapter with me as well because you never know when you'll need them. I love that the car adapter comes with the Ameda Purely Yours Backpack. You will not be disappointed by this pump.

I love this breast pump. I love how everything fits together in the Backpack & looks just like a purse! The Purely Yours is easy to use because there are not a lot of parts & it has made going back to work so much easier because I don't have to spend a lot of time pumping. This purchase was definitely an investment & you will not be disappointed with this breast pump.

I was very impressed with this pump. I researched (to death) breast pumps as I planned to keep nursing even after returning to work. As recommended by the Baby Bargains book- which is a must-read, I chose and bought this one from the other brands and I'm so happy I did! I used it for 9 mos straight, carried it back & forth to work- it was so lightweight that it wasn't an inconvenience during my 1.5hr commute to work. The best part about this pump is that you can regulate the cycle (how fast) and suction (how strong) of the pump. Also, the hygieni-kit is a marvelous idea- none of the other parts come in contact w/ the breastmilk, so clean-up is a breeze. You just basically have to wash the flasks & bottles used after each pump session. You can also pump the milk directly into a milk storage bag with no problems. Instead of attaching a bottle to the flask, you just place the milk bag over the flask opening to catch the milk and it will drip right into the bag. You do need to hold the bag(s) securely to keep in place.

There's so many more great things I can share about this product. This really helped me have an awesome experience with breastfeeding, esp while I was away from my son a great deal of time each day. I highly recommend it. Very reasonably priced and very, very worth it!

I love this pump for many reasons. It is really easy to use and clean. This manual pump was also very inexpensive when compared to other pumps. I would recommend this pump to any mother that wants to pump once or twice a day and isn’t looking to spend a ton of money.

I rented the Ameda Elite pump from lactation services at the hospital when I developed mastitis. I like the way that you are able to adjust the suction strength and the speed separately from one another because it really helps me to express a lot more milk when I slow down the speed and leave the suction alone.

I’ve been renting this pump for a few months and it is starting to get expensive, so I ordered the Ameda Purely Yours and I hope its works just as good as this one. Hopefully, I will remember to come back a write a review on it after I’ve used it for a while.

I rented an SMB breast pump from the hospital when my daughter was born premature. Since she was unable to breastfeed right away I needed to pump to give her milk. This pump helped me to establish my milk supply. I'm do not think that I would be breastfeeding today if it had not been for this pump. This pump works really well, the downside is that it is really heavy and therefore is not the easiest thing to carry around. I've been pumping with the SMB for four months now, and I am considering buying an Ameda Purely Yours to make things a little more convenient.

My lactation consultant recommended the Lact-e pump after I gave birth to my twin boys. After the first few days of nursing, I was exhausted so I began to pump so that my mom could help with the feedings. This pump was a real lifesaver since it allowed me to continue feeding my boys breastmilk only and gave me a chance to get some much needed rest. After six months, I am still using this pump on a daily basis, I would buy the Ameda Elite pump, but I'm worried that I wouldn't get the results that I am getting with the Lact-e because I've heard that the suction isn't as strong so I will continue to rent it as long as my boys are still breastfeeding.
