Ameda or Medela electric breast pump?

nothingbuthappy

I always thought Medela breast pumps were "it".  Now I'm reading that a lot of people really love Ameda pumps.  Can you offer up your review of either?  

And if you had a Medela, which one (there seem to be quite a few - looking at either the Medela Pump In Style Shoulder Bag or the Medela Pump In Style On-the-Go Tote)?  

TIA!

I have the Medela Pump in Style On the Go Tote -- I have nothing to compare it to, but I like it and have no complaints. It plugs in or uses batteries and it's easy to use.

Exactly this. I love mine, but I have nothing to compare it to.

I used the Ameda (Purely Yours?, I can't remember).  I have nothing to compare it to but used it for over 2 years and had no problem.  Plus, I purchased it through the hospital where I gave birth so it was significantly less money than any of the Medala products.  I purchased extra coolers, bottles and parts through the Ameda website and always had great service and speedy delivery.  I have no complaints!

I used the Ameda Purely Yours with both of my kids and loved it. I liked that you could control the suction and speed separately. Extra parts were affordable and I always got them delivered fast. I used mine a lot when I went back to work, and also had the car adapter for when I was traveling and needed to pump on the go. For the price I thought it was a great pump.
