Anyone heard of these in the UK?  I haven't.  I like the idea, though....
Someone posted that she found it hard to pump with her foot and do something
else, but I hae years of expereience with a spinning wheel with a foot
pedal, (where you are also doing two different things with your hands as
well!), so this sounds like a great idea.  My own days of needing such a
thing are over but I feel 1,000 times more comforatble with the idea of a
pedal pump than other technology and think of the advantages if you live
where elcetirc black-outs are frequent, or if you don't have good sources of
power.

In hand-spinning the rythym of the activity (which is soothing) comes from
the foot action, and this involves the whole body, a concept I like in the
idea of producing milk....  Electric pumps encourage a passive way of
conceptualising expressing, which is not very helpful (and has probably been
deliberately encouraged by manufacturers of these pumps).
