From personal experience and observation I have noticed that the Lactina
is usually turned up to max (gradually) and used there comfortably for
most women, but with the Classic I have never seen the suction control
even up half way (usually ¼). I perceive the Lactina’s range to
therefore be more limited, and I have also wondered about their
effectiveness in a hospital setting. Speaking of pumps I had the
opportunity to have a look at the New Medela Symphony-not working alas,
although I was dying to stick it under my shirt for a go in the
showroom!  So I had to settle for a play around with the casing. What
did strike me as odd was how flimsy it seemed, for a very expensive pump
designed for intensive hospital use.  the buttons were rubber and even
on the new demo model were already very stained and dirty, and the
hinges and doors felt like they would break off after a few weeks. But
the technology sounds interesting. Plus I thought it looked like a rice
cooker! Ha.
