MY EXPERIENCE:
First of all I would like to say is that I am very happy that I borrowed this product from my sister instead of buying my own or else I would have been very unhappy. This breast pump is quick to latch on and almost has too good of a suction. I actually had a red ring around my breast after using it. It did its job at expressing the milk but took quite a long time. I found that it also would leak out under my breasts instead of going into the designated cup. Overall I had a bad experience with this product. It is just as expensive as the Medela Advanced but does not even compare in quality.
WHERE TO BUY:
Is available at many stores including Baby Depot and Target.
COST: $349.99 from Baby Depot
