Ameda Purely Yours Carryall Review

Great Pump at a Great Price! I love it.

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, check out the Ameda Purely Yours Carryall. 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 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! I won this at BreastPumps.com & it has been wonderful, definitely as good as the ones that I rented from the hospital, and the bag & car adapter make it so convenient.. Thank you Breastpumps.com, I would definitely recommend 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.

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 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.
