My observation on these pumps:  when used for initiating milk supply, they are not as good as Symphonies, Lactinas, Classics or the Hygeia pump.  And if you read what the standard is for single-owner pumps, it is:  if the pump can remove 70% of the milk supply, it is considered adequate for mother-baby separation typical of a working mom.

My apologies on my earlier post a couple of weeks ago - "We use the Hygeia Electric Pumps in Massachusetts WIC, and they are good, inexpensive, multi-user electric pumps. They are recommended for back to work, etc, not for premies. I think they are easier to use than The Bailey."
I want to clarify: the Hygeia pumps we use at WIC are the "Enjoye" but there is a Hygeia hospital-grade "EnDeare" which is much more expensive and suitable for premies or sick infants, twins, etc. Costs in 2011
catalog: $109 versus $660.
My apologies.
