Hi mummies, does anyone uses spectra breast pump and how good spectra can be compared to big and popular brands like mendela? Thanks

Hello mommy. My first pump was a hand-me-down Medela travel/pisa. It was noisy n extremely heavy to lug ard. The socket itself was huge. By the time I returned to work after ML ended, I was still solely using it. It was pure torture bringing to office and quite embarrassing (noisy too) to pump. I was so desperate to get something reasonably priced and lightweight and portable. After some research, I invested in (1) the Haakaa manual (2) Spectra M1. I think I made the right choice coz I could easily carry/fit the pump in my office bag and it is compact enough not to cause any bulk. Besides, I could charge it fully and then bring out the pump alone without the power cable. It comes with a massage mode and normal mode. And the noise level is quite low/ok because my colleagues did not know that I was pumping. I think it is really a good investment. But it is best if you can wait til baby fair to get it. Not any cheaper though.. just many useful freebies thrown in! I do see tt many mommies buy the S1 model instead (hospital grade). But what I had in mind, was something small and compact, lightweight and portable so M1 was my choice.
