Description of Avent Isis VIA Breast Pump Kit
The Avent Isis VIA Breast Pump Kit is a great way to make sure your milk stays healthy and hygienic. Simply pump directly into the 6 oz. bases and put the lid on. Bases are great for storage whether your at home or on the go. Use the Via bottle adaptor to turn the base into a handy bottle.For mothers who are looking for a more affordable alternative to the higher end "professional" quality breast pumps, the Avent Via Isis is a convenient, inexpensive manual option that is clinically proven to be as effective as electric pumps. The pump naturally imitates a baby?s suckling to produce fast let-down, and includes five 6-ounce base containers and lids (pre-sterilized), two adaptors, two silicone newborn nipples, two nipple travel packs, and spare parts. The bases can be re-sterilized up to three times before disposing. The system is lightweight and portable. It may not be the ideal choice for mothers who are working full-time out of the house, but for those who need to pump a few times a day, it?s an easy-to-use, hygienic, efficient pump. Dishwasher safe. --Emilie Coulter
Baby Products Reviews of Avent Isis VIA Breast Pump Kit
Customer Review: They'd never make something this shoddy for men
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought the Isis having read many reviews. I suppose I thought the negative reviews were written by people who didn't take enough time to practice, or who didn't assemble their pumps correctly. Now I wish I'd been more receptive to those negative reviews.
This pump does not work at all for me. In fact, the more I "practice" with it, the less milk I get. I also have trouble with the Pump in Style, so maybe suction-type pumps just aren't for me.
But the real reason I'm giving the Isis the lowest possible rating is that it is MADE SO POORLY. No company would ever get away with making a product this shoddy for men. Even if it had worked for me, it would anger me to pay $50 for a pump that leaks and that is made of a cheap plastic that can't go through the dishwasher. Also, the handle attatches in a way that doesn't feel secure. You don't feel like you have good control over the suction strength. And worst of all, the pump does lose suction VERY FREQUENTLY, even if you have put it together correctly and wet, as the instructions recommend. This says to me that the materials were not thoughtfully chosen (to adhere to each other and seal well) and the tolerances are not precise. The Isis has been on the market long enough that Avent should have addressed these issues by now -- that is, if Avent cared about delivering a high-quality product to its customers.
There are other options. I wish I had tried the Whittlestone manual pump instead of the Isis. I still haven't tried it, so maybe it's just as bad or worse. Whatever you decide, please use your dollars to send the right message to manufacturers of products for babies and nursing mothers -- tell them that quality matters.
