[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] No more being tied to the cord. This pump made it easy for me to get some errands done around the house as I pumped. It was also nice to choose between double or single pump. It is not the most quiet pump, but that was ok for me. The pump is pretty easy to use and clean which is always a great thing. It got my milk out effectively. I recieved the pump through Stellar Panel for testing.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was given the opportunity to try out the Medela Swing Maxi double electric breast pump, and all-in-all I thought it was a really good pump! The breast shield was really comfortable and I love that it came in my size straight out of the box, which doesn't ways happen. I also thought it was pretty quick; it was about 15-20 minutes to empty me. I also really liked the vibration that accompanied the suction. My three favorite things about the pump are: 1. You are pumping straight into the bottle so you're not transferring the milk and risking spills or losing precious drops of liquid gold. 2. The pump was super easy to clean, as the parts are really simple, making the cleaning process really fast and easy. 3. My favorite part of the pump was that once it was on there nice and secure, I could go about my chores, move around, pick up my baby, or chase my toddler without feeling like I was going to spill, which is a current concern that I have with my wearable cup style pump that I also use for portability. I could bend over and not worry about spills or leaks. The biggest con is that for a pump that is advertised as something really portable, it still requires a pumping bra and that is not discreet. So while you might be able to be away from the wall, you can't be sitting at your desk at work. You still need to be at some place private. Therefore, it's great at home where you don't really care about being covered up but it’s not a truly portable solution for me. I also felt the pump itself was a little bulky but I figured out a way to hook it to my belt loop. All things considered, I really like the pump I will definitely keep using it as a great weekend or secondary pump. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for having me the opportunity to try this breast pump!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This pump stands up to the Medela name. It was convenient and expresses milk wonderfully. The buttons were simple and easy to use straight out of the box. The small size of the pump made it easy to multitask and the sound of the motor was not terribly loud. I absolutely love that the pump does away with the little white membranes I was prone to losing and has less parts to wash. I did also looooove the soft silicone around the edge of the flange that was a nice change and made pumping with the handsfree bra more comfortable. For the first time I didnt have hard plastic digging into my skin. My only qualm is the tubing is a little short so I had to be careful while turning around in my desk chair. Oh and the pump is pretry stylish too! I was excited to receive this breast pump from the Stellar Product Testing Panel and it did not disappoint.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This pump is lightweight and easy to use! The rechargeable battery makes it easy to use while on the go, this was probably my favorite part of the pump. It has minimal parts so it makes it very easy to clean, this is a perk as well! The Medela Family app was nice to use with the pump, it has a timer on it, helped keep track of how many ounces you pump. There are a lot of neat and useful features within the app. I was given this breast pump to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Medela Swing Maxi pump made pumping on the go a lot easier. It definitely gave me more freedom to move about the house instead of being tethered to an outlet. The pump was very easy to use in each of the pump modes. A digital display would be helpful in the future so you know what mode you are in, but overall it worked very well. I tried to get my pump to connect to the Medela App, but had several unsuccessful attempts. I like the ability to be able to sync with the app, I just wish I was able to get it to work. My favorite pump feature was the the actual pump itself. It’s quiet for a pump which is good. The green indicator light is also helpful to let you know how much battery life is left. Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thank you Stellar Review Panel for providing me with this breast pump to test out! I really loved how efficient this pump is despite how small it is. I was even able to fit this pump in some of my pants pockets! My big complaint is that there is no button lock. My toddler loves to push the button and turn it on. I've also had it get bumped inside my pump bag and that was awkward for my coworkers. I loved how few parts there are! It makes it so easy to assemble quickly and my husband loves how easy it is to wash the parts. The flange tunnels are too short though. My nipple constantly hit the back and then my pump session less successful. I enjoyed using the Medela Family App but I wish the pump had its own timer. There were times where my toddler had my phone or my phone was dead and I would lose track of time. This pump is very affordable and would make a great pump for someone on the go. The minimal parts makes it easy to keep everything together and clean. The compact size is great to just stash in whatever bag you have with you that day. Overall, it is a good pump and I would recommend it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this breast pump from the Stellar Product testing panel. First off so excited and happy that I got to try out this pump! I was so unhappy with my insurance pump (different brand) that had me locked to a chair and outlet plus the fact that it was hard to clean. I also had bought a cheap no outlet pump but let me tell you that was soo loud and squeezed to rough! The Medela Swing Maxi now took the place of my home and out and about pump! The parts are easy to clean which I love! It also had less parts to take apart then my old pump woo!! I was able to vacuum, do dishes, use this in the car and get stuff done!! I did use the Medela app and that was just ok for me. I liked how you could Bluetooth connect the pump to the app and they had some helpful advice on the app. I didn’t really like how they recorded the feeds. The times were messed up and I don’t want to manually enter how many ounces I pumped. The one reason I am not giving this pump 5 stars is that I really wish that it had a timer screen on the pump itself and that I didn’t have to look at the app to see how long I pumped. Overall, loved the cute small pump- was easy to put in my sweatshirt pocket or back of my jeans. It didn’t hurt when I pumped and fit nicely in my pumping bra. The pump charges nicely and is green when it’s good to go and changes color to tell you it’s dying. Another plus is that the backpack they give you is super cute and fits everything in nicely! I really like this pump a lot and would and did recommend to my friends and family!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this breast pump. I was so excited when I received this pump. Let start with the pros. First off I loved the size. It is actually portable and even has a loop on it. This tiny pump fit almost anywhere including right next to me as I drove. It made discreet pumping possible. It’s actually pretty quiet. Another big plus was the minimal pieces you had to wash. The flanges fit so well and it all came apart and was super easy to clean. Washing was incredibly fast and there were no places that are hard to reach. The suction surprised me as well. It is very powerful especially for its size. I also liked that the tubing points down so you don’t have horrible tubes sticking forward in your shirt. Another great feature was being able to connect to my phone and actually track my progress. Now for the cons, the biggest con for me that made me sometimes hesitant to pump is the depth of the flanges. Everything was a bit short and my nipples squished in the back which definitely gets uncomfortable. It seems shallow which is great for discrete pumping. I do feel like I have super stretchy nipples and feel like this may be more of a me problem. Second issue is battery life. It lasted through a whole session but depending on how long the session was sometimes not much more than that. I also had an issue with the power button. Sometimes it would easily get bumped and turn the pump off. What I didn’t like more was how it was so easy to turn on. Sometimes just picking it up would press the button enough to turn it on. It was irritating because it would add a pumping session to my phone. I wish it had a off switch. Lastly it would be great if it came with a clip of some sort. It came with that great little loop but no way to connect it. I ended up using a zip tie to attach it to my jeans. Definitely not a big deal but wanted it noted.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this pump through Stellar Product reviews and I think it’s pretty great! I like that the pump is very portable and easy to use. I also really like that there’s no tubing or extra “stuff”— just attach it to your pumping bra and go. It’s not as handy as the Elvie because it requires a pumping bra, but it’s a heck of a lot better than other pumps I’ve tried.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Where do I begin? I received this pump from the stellar panel for review and at first I was a bit hesitant. My tried and true go to pump is what I normally use when I’m home and out. Having this lightweight pump is a total game changer. Goodbye clunky pump bag! The included backpack is gorgeous. I was able to pump a good 6-7 times before I had to recharge the battery. It’s also super easy to clean and assemble. I’m not sure if this will replace the pump I use when I’m at home, but I’ll definitely be taking it when I’m traveling! Thanks Stellar! Good pick!
