MedelaSwing Maxi Hands-Free Breast Pump | Easy, Intuitive, Ideal for On The Go Double Electric Hands Free Breast Pump

This is an AWESOME product and it’s so easy to use! It’s very convenient and efficient. I am a mom of a 17 month old and a new born and this breast pump really saves me so much time. With two tiny little ones I very rarely have time to sit and hold a pump to my chest. I can wear this breast pump and go on about my business tending to my little ones. It empties my chest (both) in about 30 minutes and is not painful at all. If you are struggling with trying to maintain a pumping schedule and care for your little ones, this is the ideal product for you. Prior to purchasing this pump, my pumping sessions took up to an hour because I had to pump one at a time. I could’ve pumped both at the same time but then both of my hands would be tied for 30+ minutes. As you know, with little ones we can’t afford to be without a free hand. What I like most is that the pump is only about 3 pieces so it’s not much to wash when finished. It’s portable and comes with an arm sling to wear around. Many pros to this product!

I've only had this for two days but it's been a lifesaver. I had another portable set that I got with insurance, and they were so bulky I couldn't move without them falling out of place and spilling. With these, I can do chores, walk around, be a person around my house instead of a milk machine! Also, the pieces you need to clean are so easy, and you don't have to deal with loose silicone pieces everywhere like with other pumps. I am so glad I made this purchase! I was worried about pumping when I go back to work but I think this pump is going to do really well!

Update: In less than 6 months, it died. It's fully charged, but the motor will start for maybe one or two suctions, then die... Even if it's plugged in. I called Medela, but you have to send it in so they can test it. While that makes sense, it's going to take way too long to get a replacement when it's something I use everyday! The pump in style I got a year ago still works, even though I use it twice as much as this one. (Although, it has given me a few scares where it starts up, but takes a while for the suction to kick in) Totally disappointed in this product.I got the Pump In Style first, and thought I'd try this one too. It's neat that it's portable and I'm not chained to the outlet. But it's also quite large, and doesn't exactly fit in my pocket. The battery doesn't seem to last that long, so that's a bit of a bummer. The suction is good. I was disappointed that the tubing isn't interchangeable with the Pump In Style. At least the membranes are interchangeable. Mixed feelings on the flanges with the new silicone outer part. I didn't find the old style uncomfortable, but this new one sometimes has issues getting a good seal for me. The backpack it comes with is cute! But not very practical. The compartment for the bottles is isn't big enough to add ice packs. I'm glad I have two pumps, one for work and one for home, but ehhhhhh... I'm not exactly in love with my purchase.

Currently 2 1/2 months into nursing and pumping. I’ve been wanting to get a wearable pump for the past couple weeks and after reading reviews for a variety of wearables I finally decided on the swing maxi. Was inclined towards medela due to my great experience with my symphony and this wearable did not disappoint. I’ve only used it for a day now and I already love it, having a wearable has already saved me hours that I’d otherwise be stuck on the couch with my symphony. It feels great to be able to multitask pumping and house chores. I use it for the same amount of time (20-30 mins) and still get my usual 4-5 ounces on each side. I definitely credit my symphony for developing my supply so I don’t know if I’d necessarily recommend this wearable to an exclusively pumping mom or a mom just starting out her breastfeeding journey, but over 2 months in with a strong supply I can confidently recommend this for when supply is established. Didn’t even know medela had an app but I love the Bluetooth feature and being able to track all my pumping sessions by syncing my swing maxi to the app. Also greatly appreciate the simplicity of cleaning with this pump, only three pieces that are straightforward to clean and don’t have a bunch of nooks and crannies to worry about like symphony parts. The only struggle I’ve encountered right away is slight difficulty opening the collection cups but I’m sure over time the pieces won’t be as stiff. Very glad it came with 21mm inserts too, I would’ve ordered them separately if the pump only came with 24mm so nice touch to include a smaller size. Overall great product, strongly recommend to anyone on the fence!!
