Ali writes: I've heard good things about the Playtex Embrace breastpump - but was surprised to see it billed as a hospital-grade pump. Is it genuinely that powerful? Feedback appreciated, as I know I'll get inquiries about it. ~~ The reviews on the Target.com website says 3 overall, and that one "gets what one pays for." I wonder who is billing it as a hospital-grade pump? What company could really afford to sell a hospital-grade pump for 99 dollars? Maybe whoever is making this mistake also bills the Medela PNS as a hospital-grade pump. Double, and electric does not a hospital grade pump make...It is interesting, that one many websites the PNS is billed as hospital-grade, while the Ameda Purely Yours is listed as "based on hospital-grade technology." _http://www.google.com/products?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&q=Hospital-grade+breastpumps&um=1&sa=X&oi=product_resul t_group&resnum=1&ct=title_ (http://www.google.com/products?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&q=Hospital-grade+breastpumps&um=1&sa=X&oi=product_result_group&resnum=1&ct=title) This site lists the Avent ISIS IQ as hospital-grade too. What I consider hospital-grade runs close to 1,000 dollars, and is designed to work well being used 8 or more times per day...
