I'm sure if you have a smaller breast then this might be a good pump for you, but having my breasts swell to a 42J cup this did nothing for me at all. I found the breast cup piece did not sit well at all and the suction was terrible. It didn't hug the breast as well as a hand held version nor did it pump quick enough to really get a good flow of milk going. It also makes quiet a loud noise when pumping so you have to do it in a room where your baby isn't!
It is small and compact, so ideal for travelling but it means that you cannot get much milk in the bottle as it's so small so you have to empty it on a regular basis (that's if you get that far!) It is quiet expensive too, I paid over £50 for this even though a £10 hand held from tescos did the job much better!!!
Overall it was easy to handle but it just didn't have enough suction for me and it was poor value for money.

Good review, we have just received a supply of medela hand pumps altho not the mini version. I always advise my women to hand express first before going on the pump Helen xx

I hired a hospital grade electric pump for medela and managed to express for nine months. Anna

I can only agree with your experience. I too tried the Medela but found hand expressing far more effective and quicker as the Medela did not have enough suction!
