Evenflo Elan Single Breast Pump Review

it is a nice pump to use small and comfortable

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.
