What  about describing pumps the way we do other appliances? "Standard" vs. 
 "Industrial strength"? I know those aren't the most touchy-feely words but 
 they denote something specific. One is for average use (pumping while away 
 from a nursing baby) and the other is for heavy use (pumping for every  
feeding/feeding initiation/etc).

I agree these are useful. I know the analogy doesn't work perfectly, but  
sometimes I use the "vehicular" descriptions: if you are just driving 
normally  with a normal "load" a regular car is fine, but if you are going uphill, 
over  tough terrain and/or trailering something extra,  you want a truck. 
Moms  seem to get that. Cars are standard too, trucks for more heavy duty 
industrial  use...:)
