This is a terrible pump! It is very loud for not even doing its job. The suction is aweful and the pumps break down alot. I called the company for replacement parts and it took over 3 weeks to get them. Once I opened them and went to use them, 1 didn’t suck at all and the other one kept loosing suction. I wish I would have read these reviews before choosing Evenflo.

I purchased this pump two weeks ago. It never had any suction from the time I opened it and tried to use it. I was unsuccesful in obtaining a refund or exchange at toys r us where I purchased it b/c I had opened it. The manufacturer was even worse. They refused to refund my money. They said they’d troubleshoot it and replace parts if necessary. The representative was rude and unwilling to help. So I am out of $80 and still have no pump. Evenflo will never get any more of my business.

This thing was the biggest piece of crap I ever bought! After a few uses the suction stopped working as well, and the plungers in it kept getting stuck causing milk to backflow into the pump. It causes a lot of nipple pain too. I also have found it nearly impossible to find replacement parts for it. I finally went out and purchased an Ameda breast pump because I continuously got clogged milk ducts. It is good if your travelling for long distances and need to pump. Otherwise its just a waste of money and can cause a mess if it doesn’t function properly.

I felt as though this pump had its positives and negatives. Portability was nice, I was able to walk around and it felt natural and allowed me to get around, although you have to have fresh batteries otherwise the suction is less then ideal. I didn’t feel as though the battery ever wore out on it, but I can say that it isn’t the most comfortable version, I didn’t like the clean up with it, and after a month I decided to go with a Medela. Although it definitely works as a quick fix I would definitely go with a better product.

DO NOT waste your time or money on this pump. Works for two weeks and after that I had no more suction!

My daughter had trouble latching on so I bought the Evenflo Comfort Select. I used it maybe twice a day for about a month before it started losing suction. I was getting about 4 oz in 15-20 minutes on each side with it on high for the first few weeks. With batteries, it had almost no suction at all so it has to be plugged in. If you’re not completely centered in the middle of the horn it gets very uncomfortable, even painful, and stops sucking. The suction dial slowly came loose and eventually kept falling out. Even from day 1 it had a somewhat loud, constant buzzing sound that drove my husband nuts. Milk builds up and gets caught in the horn and you have to stop pumping for a minute to let it drain into the bottle. I think milk got into every little space possible, even in the motor. It made such a mess that it took longer to clean up than to pump. I had my very electronic-literate husband take it apart for me so I could clean it. There was even dried milk on the inside of the plastic piece that covers the motor! When he put it back together it worked the same. After using it for 6 weeks, I was getting maybe an ounce at most pumping for 20 minutes and it continued to lose suction. The motor sounded very weak and slow even on high. I was able to collect more by myself in half the time. It would have been worth the money just to get a manual pump and save the hassle. Now pregnant with #2, I’m planning to purchase the Lansinoh Double Electric which is made by Ameda, just marketed under the Lansinoh name, and is exactly the same as their Purely Yours model (one of the 2 top-rated electric pumps on the market). A much better pump and worth the investment.

I have been exclusively pumping for about 5 weeks now, and have yet to see a problem with this pump! I get about 4 or 5 ounces in 15 minutes, and I pump about every two hours, without any soreness. I use it on the lowest setting.

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.

I was shocked reading the reviews for this pump! I had NO problems with it, still dont have any. It is easy to use if you read the instructions and hasn’t lost suction at all with me. There are only two little parts on it and one doesn’t even come in contact with the breast milk so you don’t have to wash it if you choose not to. (I buy the breast pump cleansing wipes to wipe up between major washing at the end of the day) it pumps at whatever suction level I choose and as long as you are sitting up right the milk drains quite nicely into the bottles. I love it, best gift I got from my baby shower!
