Customer Reviews of Lansinoh Affinity Double Electric Breast Pump
Customer Review: Do not waste your new parent money
Summary: 1 Stars
Pregnant with our first child, I purchased this one due to the lower price and reviewers saying it was easy to clean. It is easy to clean and that is the only plus. This pump is very harsh on the nipples. I kept sore nipples the whole 4 weeks it actually worked. The pump went out on me in week five after my daughter was born. I had to send my husband out to the local Walgreens for an emergency pump, as I had just gone back to work. I did use this pump all the time, as my daughter was born with cleft lip and could not breastfeed at all. We purchased a $45 single electric pump from Walgreens after this one abruptly died. My new pump has a carrying case, is easy to use, and I am getting more milk now in less time because it is gentle on my nipples. Ladies, if you are planning to pump a good bit, skip this product and buy or rent a nicer pump or buy the cheaper single pump at Walgreens for a back-up, because you will need it. This pump is made of very cheap plastic and will not last.Customer Review: Very Happy

I had a Medela with my first child but it didn't seem to have the same suction this time around. I had received it as a gift, so I never really had looked into different pumps. One thing I HATED about my Madela was that milk backed up into the tubes, which actually led to mold growth at one point. And once it got there, it was impossible to get out.
So I was very excited about the design of this pump. I also looked at the Ameda, but this looked exactly the same, only cheaper.
As soon as I got this pump, I immediately began having a better pumping experience. I had starting wondering how I had found it so easy last time :-) I've been using it 2-3 times per day for the last few weeks and have had no problems at all. I also love the size -I have the pump, a small cooler and extra bottles in a bag that is still smaller than my old Medela.
I would highly recommend this pump - I just can't see paying over $200 more for a fancy bag.
Customer Review: Very pleased

I am very pleased with this purchase. With my other children I used a manual pump and had ok results. I was able to have a back up supply of breast milk for emergencies but it never seemed like enough. With this pregnancy I decided to try an electric pump but did not want to spend over $200. I did my research and read many reviews. The Lansinoh pump was VERY well priced and the reviews were overwhelmingly positive so I decided to take my chances. I am so happy I purchased it (actually it was a present from my Mom)! I was able to cut the time I used to spend pumping manually in half because you can do both breasts at once. It is adjustable so I was able to find a speed and suction strength that was comfortable and effective. I can not provide any opinions on how effective it would be for those moms who would need to pump multiple times daily, but for occasional, once a day pumping I think it would work perfectly.Customer Review: 2nd time Mom

I knew I was going to breast feed while on maternity leave, and go as long as I could after returning to work. So I knew I was going to need a pump for work. With my first child, I rented the Hospital one, and lugged that beast to and fro work. I finally got sick of how big it was and quit nursing/pumping after a month. Since I knew this was my last child, I didn't want to spend out a lot of money for a $2-300 pump. After reading these reviews, I had to try this one for the $. I am sure glad I did. After my son was born, we had latching issues, so I decided to pump 100%, and bottle feed. This is my ninth week of using the pump, I pump 5-6 times a day for about 15 minutes each time, and it still works as good as the first day. It is a little louder, but for the price I can live with it. The caps are hard to snap off the flanges, but once again, for this price, it's worth the elbow grease.Customer Review: Do not waste your money on this pump

I do not usually write reviews, but I felt it was important to write this one.
Please do not waste your money on this pump!!!! If you pump occasionaly this pump might work for you, but if you have to go back to work and pump on a regular basis, this pump is a total waste of your money. It does not have a good suction and it is very poorly designed. I had to request a replacement of my pump first week I started using it daily. The new pump they sent still does not work well and the suction is very bad. Just like everyone else I read the reviews and I could not afford a $300 Medela pump so I bought this one. After dealing with this terribile pump for 3 months, I now realize that it is so worth spending the money and purchasing either a Medela or Ameda pump that ALL lactation specialists recommend. Please do not make the same mistake! You will pay twice!!
