Hygeia EnJoye-EXT Double Electric Breast Pump Review

I love this pump due to it size and portability. I read the reviews on the Avent pumps and decided that it was the right choice for me. I ordered my pump online and received my package 3 days after I placed my order. I recommend using the Avent Uno breast pump because it is affordable and it is fast!

Choosing this pump was a huge mistake.
First I had to wait for more then a month after the promised date.When I order it, it was not in stock and I was told that it will be available in March. I finally received it in April. When I saw it my first impression was ” This is the ugliest pump I’ve ever seen. It looks a lot more like a car battery than anything else”, but that was the least of my problems.
The pump is very slow (take me about 30 min to empty my breasts). My manual Medela takes 10-12 min only, for each breast.The electric rent a pump I used before this one was taking me also 10 to 15 min only.
The parts are very hard to put together and also not easy to clean.
Milk gets inside at least in one of the tubings every time I pump so I have to clean and dry them all the time.
One of the duck valves broke after one month and I had to buy a new one.
The measurements on the bottles are wrong.
The recording feature is useless for me.
The suction power is getting weaker. (I only had it for month and a half now)
And last but not least it is not worth the money. Way too expensive for being so poor quality.
The only things I like about this pump are the big and comfortable bag that comes with it, the adjustable rings which allow me use different bottles and the external battery pack, but again that’s only if I am going to use it. (After I realize how slow and frustrating this pump is, I bought a manual pump from Medela which I started using now even instead of the Hygeia and I like it a lot better.)
I choose this pump after i was fooled by the other reviews. Everything about it sounded so amazing and I thought “WOW this must be a great pump”… Well it is not. So now I hope to help somebody avoid making the same mistake that I did.
After a month and a half I can honestly say that I hate this pump and I deeply regret choosing it.
I wouldn’t recommend it to no body.

When I first used my Hygeia Enjoye breast pump, I thought it was broken. I had been using the Medela Symphony, and the Hygeia pump was just so much more comfortable, I couldn’t believe it would actually work. I checked all of the connections and tried again with low expectations. To my surprise, the Hygeia got out just as much, if not more, milk! I couldn’t be happier with this pump.

I’m a mom of two and work outside of the home 60+ hrs/week so really needed a pump that would keep up my supply when I’m away from my daughter. I was borrowing a friend’s Pump in Style (I know, not a good idea to share pumps), but it broke on me and I decided to invest in Hygeia.

Compared to the Medela, this pump is much smoother and efficient. I like that the pump comes out of the tote bag (by the way, I got a much cuter bag than the backpack in the picture here) rather than being stuck inside an ugly backpack. I really like the 3 year warranty, especially because the Medela I was borrowing broke. It’s also quieter than the pump in style.

My only regret is not spending a little more money to get the version with a rechargeable battery. Would love to be able to pump w/o a cord.
