![]() ![]() The “smart” in smartpump comes from the app, which is Bluetooth compatible and features a QR code for setup. The standard flange sizes offered with the pump are 25 mm and 30.5 mm, making it a better pump for those with slightly larger nipples. It’s also relatively quiet, and the automatic memory function will save your pumping preferences for the next session. The double electric pump is closed-system, fairly comfortable, and does a good job emptying breasts fully. To mimic your baby’s unique suckling, there are three different pumping "styles" plus eight different suction levels. ![]() Highlights include a carrying case plus a reusable ice pack, an LCD display with a built-in timer so you can see how long you’ve been pumping, and a battery pack so you can pump away from a power source on the go.Īs far as the pump itself, it automatically switches to stimulation mode after two minutes and features a button to manually toggle between let-down and expression phases. In our opinion, it’s worth every penny, if you can swing it.Īn extremely solid pump for the money, the Lansinoh 2.0 Smart Pump is our winner for best value. However, unlike Willow, which is sold as a set, Elvie can be purchased as a single pump to save money, for the (comparatively) low price of $279. And because of the way the pump is situated, it’s hard to see how much milk you’re collecting, which may be a con for some women, though personally, I appreciated it.Įlvie’s main drawback? The eye-popping price: $499, the same as its direct competitor Willow. Pumps can lose connectivity with the app, which needs to be re-paired often. The app also shows how much milk has been expressed, although I found it was often inaccurate and needed to be manually edited. Power and suction can be adjusted directly from the pump, as well-no app required-while it moves automatically from stimulation to expression after two minutes. Like most breast pumps nowadays, Elvie has an app, which allows you to turn its pumps on and off, as well as increase or decrease suction and move into expression mode. Each pump has a sleek gray storage bag, and it comes with nursing bra extenders, helping create extra room in your bra for the pump. Speaking of those parts: they feel high-quality, from the aforementioned freezer-, fridge-, and microwave-safe bottles, to the multiple flanges -available in 21 mm, 24 mm, and 28 mm sizes for a perfect fit-to the pumps themselves. We also liked that there are only a few parts, making putting it together quick and easy: no PhD required to figure out assembly. ![]() A significant plus: it’s exceedingly quiet, increasing its usefulness while multitasking. It does lose a point, however, for not being able to feed babies directly from those bottles, as they don’t have accompanying nipples. The pumps are small and palm-sized, connect directly to bottles that you can cap and refrigerate, and tuck into your bra for discreet pumping anywhere. Most importantly: it boasts extreme portability, with no wires or tubing required. The Elvie is our top pick due to its high marks across the board: it empties breasts well, is comfortable, and is high-tech yet user-friendly, making pumping (almost) fun.
