I found the round, cool blue pump to be oddly stylish, and it comes with a handle that makes it easier to tote around. Stylish: Like the Medela Sonata, the S1 has made significant upgrades to the breast pump interface. This was true for me and I was using my Sonata until the battery life started bothering me and my neighbor lent me her Spectra! Game changer. When you call in your free pump from your insurer, it will probably be a Medela Pump. If you have to pump in the hospital, the nurses will likely wheel in a Medela Pump. My Experience: For years, Medela has ruled, undisputed, over Breast Pump Land. There are a few downsides, but if you can look past them - I do recommend this pump! Overall, the pump is great if you’re looking to exclusively pump. You HAVE to use the Medela bottles and you HAVE to use the Sonata charger. They don’t make ANY adapters for different bottles. Not compatible with other bottles: A HUGE CON for this pump is the fact that its not compatible with ANY other pump (not even other Medela Pumps). I would constantly have to find an outlet to plug this into. I’ve pumped everywhere from airports, airplanes, cars, restaurants etc. For comparison, the Spectra S1 has a battery life of about 4 hours - if long battery life is super important to you, you’re better off with the Spectra. Suction: 20 mins each session always emptied me!īattery Life: The rechargeable battery only lasts an hour. If you’re pumping to increase your supply, it’s very important to know the duration of each session. Interface: I’m not alone in my love for the Sonata’s clock/timer feature, which allowed me to visually see the duration of each pumping session instead of tuning out and forgetting how long I’ve been pumping, I always knew my exact stats. It’s also small, lightweight, has a (sort of) handle for easy carrying. And I mean very quiet - so much so that users rave about being able to use the Sonata discreetly in offices, in public, on conference calls, or in the middle of the night. SIlent and Sleek: First off, this pump is quiet. My Experience: I used this the entire time I exclusively pumped for Zidaan (7 months) and for majority of my pumping for Aiyla (4 months).
