In my opinion, which is pro a particular brand of breastpump, the major
deciding factors come down to:
1. Comfort
2. Efficiency
3. Ease of cleaning
4. Availability of replacement parts
The $300-400 range pumps are available from several manufacturers. Most
would pass the comfort test; however, the Px breastshield has a very narrow
tunnel and is not comfortable for many mothers. It will not work to remove
the soft inset to get to a larger size tunnel on this pump.
Efficiency is another major factor. A's pump is quite efficient for mothers
who can figure out how to set a rhythm that works for them.
Ease of cleaning is a big consideration for working women. The more parts,
the more time-consuming the process when disassembling, cleaning and
reassembling. Px's and A's both have lots more parts.
Availability of replacement parts is a big consideration for many mothers.
When something is lost or broken, most women need a replacement the same
day. I carry M's pump models and all the replacement parts. I often get
calls before/after hours, weekends, holidays, etc., when clients need
replacement parts. I am happy to do that for them.
So my humble opinion is that M's product is the best choice. It does wear
out - - they all will eventually wear out.
