Purchase Considerations for Electric Breast Pumps
– Ease of Use
The ease of use and maintenance of a breast pump, for example, how easy it is to clean, plays a large role in its overall quality and value.
– Loudness
Devices powered by electric motors are usually loud, but if the breast pump is too loud, then it may present problems for the user or be a source of distraction in places with privacy issues.
– Speed
A good breast pump should be fast, because some nursing mothers have limited time to pump the milk before they engage in other activities.
– Comfort
No doubt, the more comfortable it is to use the breast pump, the higher its quality.
– Portability
Some mothers can be quite mobile, moving from place to place, or simply being more on the road than the average nursing mother. For such situations, a cordless, portable and preferably, battery powered breast pump, becomes ideal.
– Double Pump
Breast pumps with a double pump capability shorten the overall time a nursing mother needs. This makes double pump devices more valuable.
– Suction Level Setting
A breast pump with variable suction level setting is definitely better because all women are not the same. Some people require more suction, while others require less, and being able to choose what suits you is definitely great.

6. Spectra Baby USA Breast Pump with Rechargeable Battery
The Spectra Baby USA pump was designed to rival the well known Medela symphony. It features a 2-mode functionality.
