Philips AventManual Breast Pump

I received this manual breast pump from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I was excited to try this pump because I'm an exclusive pumper to my 11 month old baby. Anything to make pumping quicker, easier, cleaner, and more convenient is right up my alley! For reference, I've used a Lansinoh manual pump, so that's my only manual pump comparison, but I also exclusively use a Spectra S1 these days and have also used a portable wearable pump. Pump, pump, pump, pump! I found this pump really easy to use. Pros: It's super easy to clean, which is such a big plus when it comes to pumping. The duckbill is easy to remove without getting messy and pulling on the valve. I *love* how the flange has a silicone insert because most fits for pumps are too big or too small. This is a much smaller pump than my Lansinoh pump, so it conveniently fits in my car glovebox without any problems. It's easy to use! I didn't need a lot of start up time to get pumping, so it was pretty clear that almost anyone could use it. Some cons: You're limited to the flange that it comes with, so it's not interchangeable with other flanges you might already have. That's not a huge problem, but if this isn't your mainstay, it means you'll have to keep track of all the parts more closely. The base of the silicone part is also really soft, so it's hard to initially go in without bending. This pump seemed to collect more condensation than my other pumps, but it could just be that it was hot in my room. That can mean that it's harder to see your milk flow up close and personal. Another downside is that I'm most comfortable using my regular silicone inserts, and this did not allow for that. It was still comfortable without them though. As with all manual pumps, I didn't pump anywhere close to what I would get from an electric, but it's definitely unfair to compare the two as they're apples to oranges. Overall: it was really great to use, and I'll definitely reach for it again. Does it live up to its claims? Yes. Gentle and portable? Absolutely. Would I recommend it to someone else? Definitely. @phillipsavent, @stellarreviewers, #ShareTheCare, #Stellarreviewers

The pump iv very gentle on my breast. However, it may take time to find your rythm. I think its a great choice if you exclusive breastfeeding but you want to have breast pump just in case. Also, it has much compact desin, so you can take it with you. Electric pumps have bulky parts and so many cords. Price is very affordable for such convenience. I like that pump is going straight into the bottle. As mom of two I do recommend to buy this pump to be prepared to anything. I'm very grateful Stellar product testing panel for having opportunity to test this pump.

I have loved using this pump for travel. I can keep it in my car or diaper bag for pumping on the go. I don't have to bother with keeping it charged since it's manual! I am an exclusive pumper and I have found the manual pump actually empties my milk better than the electric pump. It's a little less convenient than the electric pump but I like the portability and that there are no cords and charge needed. The parts are easy to clean and take apart/put back together. Overall, this pump is a great option if you're looking for a pump to keep in your car or carry around in your diaper bag! (I received this product as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.)

I loved that this pump and that it was ready to use when I opened the box. It was user friendly and perfect for on the go pumping sessions. Sometimes I don’t want to complete my late night pumping sessions when I am tired, but I was far more motivated when I got this manual pump, because I knew it would be easy. The parts were easy to assemble and break down to wash. I appreciated how small and compact it was, so I could throw it in my bag for a quick on the go pumping session. I was very impressed with how much milk I yielded, using this pump. I loved that it connected to the Philips Avent glass bottles I use for my 8 month old. I was able to pump directly in the bottle and have them ready for the next day. I am very grateful for this pump! Thank you to Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me this pump to test and review.

I received the Philips Avent Manual Breast Pump - Easy Pumping with Natural Motion Technology as a test product from Stellar Product Testing Panel. This is an amazing breast pump that has actually increased my production! The compact design makes traveling with it a piece of cake. It takes up very little room, and is very easy to put together and use discretely. The pump is very comfortable to use and the silicone flange has been not only comfortable but easy to fit my breast (B cup). Once I’m done pumping cleaning is very easy thanks to minimal parts and it is very easy to reassemble.

As a working mom of two, having a manual breast pump at my desk and in my car has been a lifesaver more than once! Just the other day, 10 months into my breastfeeding journey, I forgot part of my electric pump. Fortunately, I had this manual pump at my desk, and it saved the day! I have two manual pumps, both from Avent. I purchased my first Avent pump and I received this second one through the Stellar Product Testing Panel. This model is my favorite because it’s compact, discreet, and effective. Straight out of the box, it's easy to use. The pump and bottle easily fit into half of my small lunch box, making it easy to store in a work fridge or tuck into a glovebox. The silicone flange insert is very comfortable, creating an effective seal that allows the pump to empty me just as efficiently as an electric pump – without pinching or awkward squeaks. I also love that it came with a bottle and lid that can be used to securely transport milk. The lid also has a removable piece, allowing you to insert a bottle nipple for on-the-go feedings. If you’re in the market for a manual pump, I highly recommend this one!

I received this product as part of the stellar product testing panel. I have been exclusively pumping and this product is a must have! For a manual pump, I had excellent expression. I also love to travel, so having this compact, easy to use pump has been amazing! This pump is also easy to put together and take apart making for an easy easy cleaning experience. To another new first time mom or experienced mom I would recommend!

I absolutely love this manual pump! Super easy to use, very gentle expressing milk vs an electric pump and also a very quick process. I took 100 ml out in about 5 minutes! I love many things about it. First of all, the compact design. It doesn’t have a million pieces to attach and/or wash, and it doesn’t take much space either. You can easily storage it and even take it on the go in your diaper bag. The design is a 10/10 for me. I also love how incredibly easy to use this pump is. Very straightforward and very very gentle when expressing milk compared to an electric pump. I have a double electric pump and sometimes it is a little uncomfortable when pumping for long continuous periods of times. However, this Phillips manual pump is very delicate while pulling, nice easy motion. Feels very natural. The silicone flange is very comfortable and soft and I really like using it. It is great to relieve engorged breasts, for quick pump sessions and obviously for on the go to pump anywhere! I use it all the time because of how easy and quick it is to use but also to wash. Time saver! At the moment, my go-to-pump for pretty much every occasion (unless I need to pump large amounts to freeze, then I would use the double electric cause since it’s double it’s quicker for that). Honestly a 10/10 manual pump. Absolutely love it. Thank you Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this awesome manual pump.

I received this pump through Stellar Product Testing Panel. My first impression was how noticeably compact it was. Other pumps I've had come with large/protruding funnels and take up so much space in my diaper bags (even when unassembled). This pump was so easy to travel with and I love the minimal amount of pieces. This makes it simple to assemble and easy to clean. The silicone attachment also made the pumping experience much more comfortable. This is currently my most favorite manual breat pump that I've owned!

My wife and I have 6 children and she has used just about every breast pump on the market since 2010. We received this product as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel and were pleasantly surprised with the quality. It was comfortable to use and worked well for expression. My wife liked the size of it and said it worked quite well for on-the-go. It was easy to take apart and clean and just as easy to reassemble. She does still prefer her electric cordless pump for everyday use, but this was the best manual pump she has tried by far.
