Baby Products Reviews of Avent Isis Via Breast Pump Kit
Customer Review: Great manual pump, but consider an electric
Summary: 4 Stars
This really is a great manual pump, but . . . I'm a stay-at-home mom so I thought a manual pump would be enough, but as my baby gets older and I need to pump more (for milk for his cereal, to put in a sippy cup, etc.) my hand gets exhausted from all the pumping and it takes up so much of my time. I wish I had spent the extra money and purchased the electric pump.Customer Review: great pump once you get used to it!
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this as a shower gift. It has been really helpful and extremely efficient. At first breast feeding and pumping was very painful. So I rented the Medula from the hospital for the first month. The Medula (a $1,000 unit) is a great dual pump system that works more gently than my newborn or the Avent. It was nice to use the dual pump as I got used to breastfeeding. But once I got used to it, I didn't use the Medula at all and was using the Avent. The dual pump had A LOT of parts to clean (2 pumps) and was a bit tricky to manuveur holding 2 pumps at the same time. The Avent was very efficient in expressing milk, easily extracting 5oz. from a single breast in under 10 minutes. It is very important to have the pump assembled correctly (my husband still puts the valve plug in backwards no matter howmany times I show him) So it's easy to see why some women may have had problems. But once the unit is assembled properly, this pump works FANTASTICALLY!!Customer Review: Such a waste of money!!

I am extremely disappointed with this pump. I mainly breastfeed my son, but I do need to pump while I'm at work (2 days a week) and sometimes when I'm at home. I thought that this manual pump would be just fine for that. I was WRONG! First of all, I read the directions very carefully (I'm a "follow the directions exactly step-by-step" kind of girl). I couldn't seem to get any suction with this thing (or if I did, it would only last for a second or two). I'm not sure where the problem was coming from (I think a bad seal with the milk collection container). I couldn't get the collection container/cup to stay in place. It was a joke. I think that in the 3-4 weeks that I tried to use this product, I MAY have pumped 3 ounces. I fought and fought with this thing. I'm not even going to go into the nightmare of trying to clean this thing and all its parts!! I tossed the pump in the garbage and went straight for the big guns! I'm renting a symphony medala from the hospital where I work. I will usually get at least 8 ounces each time I pump with the Symphony. I talked with some other new mommies about this product, and they all agreed. Nobody seemed to care for it. A friend of mine bought the Pump In Style and really likes it (after trying...and hating...this Avent pump). Hope this helps. Customer Review: Didn't work for me

I bought this pump after my first child was born. Although I (and then my husband, and then my mother) read the instructions thoroughly, took it all apart and put it back together, and called the 800 number for help, no matter what I did, I couldn't even get one drop of milk with this pump. I ended up buying the Medela pump, which was fantastic from the start (and fast!). For me at least, this pump was a waste of money. Customer Review: Terrific Manual Pump
Summary: 5 Stars
I received this pump for my shower and I have been thrilled with it! I am sure its not quite as quick as an electric pump, but I am at home and it has been perfect for that. I would highly recommend this for any SAHM who is breast feeding but looking for a pump.
