I’m quite happy with the Ameda Purely Yours breast pump and I’m glad I chose it over the Medela Pump In Style and Avent Breast Pumps I looked at. It’s really comfortable, and very easy to figure out. I use it with the hands free pumping bra, which makes it even easier. The thing I like most about it is that it allows me to adjust the suction and speed to my liking, which changes sometimes. Also, it’s simple to switch from dual pumping to single pumping.

I’ve been pumping every day for 2 months and everything has held up very well (even the valves that everyone told me would rip after a month). Cleaning is a piece of cake. I just put it in the sink with all the dishes and run it under hot water together, then let it dry for the next pumping session.
It doesn’t come with a bag, but I bought one and it’s very easy to take around. The unit is very light, and not as big as some of the other pumps. The few times that I’ve taken it out of the house have been hassle-free.

The one thing that may pose a problem to some people is the noise. It’s a very powerful pump, and subsequently it’s motor runs pretty loudly. After every pump it beeps, which definitely can get annoying after a while. However, I pretty much exclusively pump at home, so I am not very aware of it most of the time. If I was pumping regularly at work I might be more conscious of it.

Another thing is that I had some trouble with the storage bags, so I switched over to use the Playtex milk storage system. The pump and bags work fine together. The pump is definitely worth the price, and I plan on using it for all of my future children. Once you give it a try you won’t see any reason to switch brands.

Buy this pump! It’s made my life so much easier. I always got sore with my old Medela Advanced, but that never happens with the Ameda Purely Yours Breast Pump. What really makes a difference is its ease of use. It’s really easy to switch between pumping phases and take apart to clean. Strongly recommend it for all mothers that pump daily.
