I have a friend that has one and loves it. She has also created a Facebook group for users that has a lot of tips and tricks. From what I’ve gathered from following the page is that it works very well for some and not well for others. It tends to have a strong suction and has to have a good fit or can be painful and cause a drop in supply. Women that buy have access to a “coach” to help get it working and fitting well. A big complaint I hear is the cost of bags so a lot of women are creating hacks to reuse bags for multiple pump sessions. There is a new 2.0 version coming out in the next few months.  This is all just things I have heard from her and read about in the group- no personal experience.
