I have both the Avent manual & electric pumps as well. I bought the manual 4 years ago for my first & the electric this year which can also convert to a manual pump as well. TBH, I wish I hadn't spent so much on the electric as my trusty old manual pump works better & you don't have to fiddle with the cords or battery. ]]> Fri, 29 Apr 2011 14:13:40 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38954&PID=1315052&title=electric-breat-pumps#1315052 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38954&PID=1314724&title=electric-breat-pumps#1314724 Author: fairy1

I just bought an ameda double electric pump. Haven't used it yet but have heard heaps of good things from people who have used one before.]]> Thu, 28 Apr 2011 19:59:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38954&PID=1314655&title=electric-breat-pumps#1314655 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38954&PID=1314514&title=electric-breat-pumps#1314514 Author: JessDub

I borrowed a Medela mini electric for DS1 and just bought one off TM for around $50. I'm happy to sterilise all the bits before I use it but you can replace the 'trumpet' and seal thingies with new ($20-30) and have a virtually new pump.

I am using a Medela Mini Electric which I got second hand off TM and it is great. Just make sure you get one that is BPA free - not sure if those cheapies off TM are?]]> Thu, 28 Apr 2011 14:36:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38954&PID=1314460&title=electric-breat-pumps#1314460 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38954&PID=1314403&title=electric-breat-pumps#1314403 Author: catisla

Oh - should add i am currently renting a Mendela double from the hospital(which works really well) but it is $30 a week so should be much better off buying one]]> Thu, 28 Apr 2011 13:30:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38954&PID=1314403&title=electric-breat-pumps#1314403 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38954&PID=1314402&title=electric-breat-pumps#1314402 Author: catisla

Any opinions/advice on the best electric breast pumps?

I have looked on Trade Me and there is someone selling unbranded pumps for $69 each - the brand names go for around $150.

I would probably be pumping 1-2 times a day.

cheers for any advice ]]> Thu, 28 Apr 2011 13:26:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38954&PID=1314402&title=electric-breat-pumps#1314402
