Evenflo Breast Pump Reviews

When I bought this pump, I thought I had found a really great deal, but that wasn’t the case because it only worked for about a week. Whenever I used it, milk would always back up into the motor part of the pump. I tried pumping several different ways to prevent it from happening, but it just wouldn’t work correctly. The motor died after about the sixth or seventh time that I used it. Since the pump didn’t last very long, I decided just to throw it away rather than try to get a replacement that would likely be the same. I ended up spending the extra money and bought an Avent Isis Uno pump and I really like it.

I bought this one when my more expensive pump broke & I had limited funds. This pump worked great at first but is steadily loosing power. I think it would be great for someone who pumps infrequently. But I have to pump quite alot as my daughter has a hard time nursing. It's a good deal for the price but certainly not fantastic.

Not a good pump. I can't get relaxed using manual pumps, so I attempted this for daily relief while at work - NOT GOOD. I have only had it for 3 days and it is already not sucking strong enough to get anything out. It also is a pain to position exactly right so it takes a while to find a way that doesn't hurt my nipples. Do NOT buy! I'm going to call their Customer Service Line and ask for a refund or upgrade!

I don't have any problems with this pump. It has been really good to me. I use it constantly. It's comfortable and I saved money. I don't know what everyone else is having such problems with. They must have bought bad ones. The only complaint I have is that it seems the motor has started to become a little weaker than it was at first, but we are talking about 6 months of regular use. I'm sure that it will still work out fine for the next 6 months. Because of the motor weakening, this product would prbably only be good use for one baby. You will probably have to get another one for your next child. That is the only real problem I see so far.

When I bought the Comfort Select Dual I thought that it would be a good pump to use since it was an affordable double pump and I was returning to work. Boy was I wrong. It is a pain to use, assemble and clean (it has a lot of small parts). Just about all I got from this pump was sore nipples.

I have not had good experiences with this pump. It really hurt my breasts and the milk would not drain into the bottles. I have tried to find out why the milk will not drain into the bottles. I have taken the whole pump apart, thoroughly wash and dried all the pieces and put it back together, but it still backs up everytime. Between the soreness from the pump and spilling milk because it will not drain properly, using this pump is very frustrating. I would not recommend this pump to any one.

This pump is so not worth the savings. I thought I was getting a really good deal because this pump worked great the first few times I used it. But about 3 weeks into pumping the motor seemed to be struggling to pump and it no longer pumped with a consistent rhythm. After about two more weeks, it died during my morning pump session. I would not recommend this pump to any mother. I bought an Ameda Purely Yours pump after this one died and I absolutely love it.

I only use this pump occasionally, but when I do use it I am able to get enough milk for one of my daughter's feedings. There isn't enough suction if you only pump on one side at a time, so you definitely have to pump both if you want it to work well.

I read a few of the other Elan reviews and keep hearing moms complain about the pump motor having little or no suction. I must say I had the same problem at first, so I called Evenflo to complain. They let me know that the motor has a sensor on it. If you turn the suction up to quickly, the motor runs slows to protect the nipple. If you press and hold the up arrow on the suction for a few seconds the motor returns to normal speed. Now that I know the trick, I love the pump. It works great! I get a let down very quickly and have no complaints about the pump itself. I think it was worth the money and would recommend it to a friend. The Elan bottles that it comes with I dislike very much. They leak at the bottom. I called Evenflo about the bottles as well and them sent me a new set, that also leaked. If you are going to use this pump and store the milk in the bottle for any length of time, I advise that you buy the storage containers. They can be used in freezer and you can also screw on a nipple and use it as a regular bottle.

We purchased the pump prior to the birth of my daughter in October 2006. I didn't really need to use it while I was home on maternity leave, but began about two weeks before starting back to work. It was great in the beginning - that is where the 1 star comes in - and then the motor got worse and worse by the end of the first month of use. It was skipping and then would go really slow like it was laboring to work. It wasn't pumping, so I would be left with hard, full breasts after 10-15 minutes of pumping. I was very concerned about my milk supply diminishing. I called and I have to say that Evenflo's customer service is great - they sent me another pump even though the 90 day warranty had passed. Unfortuantely, i am experiencing the same thing with this one. Apparently there is a problem with the motor for this pump and they need to do something about it. I am out $160.00 and had to go purchase a more reliable pump - a Medela who guarantess their pump for 1 year. It is just very disappointing when you don't want to feed your child formula and you want to nurse.

it is a nice pump to use small and comfortable

I planned to breastfeed exclusively, but I wanted to have a manual pump just in case needed to pump. Since I wasn’t planning to use it very much I didn’t want to spend a lot of money. This pump was cheaper than most of the other manual pumps so I went for it. Mistake! After just a few and by few I mean three the seal broke and it no longer had enough suction. After getting frustrated with it I went and bought an Avent Isis. It was totally worth the extra $15.
