Spectra - Synergy Gold Dual Adjustable Electric Breast Pump - Breastfeeding Essential

I have 3 kids all of which I have pumped for. I have used Medela, EvenFlo, MomCozy Wearable pump, the Spectra S2 (also a great pump), and variety of hand pumps. Nothing has been as impressive as this pump. The price tags is a bit of an ouch but I will say that I have had this pump for three years and I've pumped for 18 months on it and it is still going and the suction is still great.I am also an over producer. In the first 9 months I produce over 70 ounces in a day and this pump can handle it and does a great job of emptying breasts. It's also going for women with largers breasts because the pump has the power to help get all that milk out. With other pumps I would still feel like there was milk left after pumping. The dual settings are great for individual adjustments so you can adjust for comfort or to try to kick the slacker-boob into gear.It is very easy to find pump parts and replacement parts such as tubes, duckbills, large bottles or different flanges that work with the spectra. It is a closed system pump so the milk stays in the bottle area and never goes anywhere near the tubing making it last so much longerIt's not the quietest pump but I've honestly never had an issue with baby or hubs waking up in the middle of the night because I'm pumping. Is easy to see the settings in the dark so you're not guessing if you've got the right button.It is not the lightest pump in the world so if you're taking it to work regularly it will get heavy but there are bags that fit in and honestly, if rather carry this around and be comfortable and know I'm getting a good pumping session in than use something more portable.I highly recommend this pump. I tell all my soon-to-be mom friends about it! Way to go Spectra! Keep up the good work!

Works perfectly for me no hiccups so far I love that the nightlight feature also makes the plug in light up so if ur in a dark lit room u can still see where to place it it can be confusing on its feature but it's a very minor issue or otherwise learning curve but I like it has them for adjusting to fit your needs it dose memories your settings so watch out for that if u tend to be more sensitive from the start up I would definitely suggest this for any other family members in need for one

This is an incredible pump. It gives a great output for me and I love that you can change the suction on each side independently. It is a little bit bulkier than my other Spectra, but I LOVE this one!

I bought this and when I received it the box was damaged. I tried it and even on the highest setting it’s like it barely pulled. I contacted the seller sent them pictures and they were so kind and sent me a return label and gave me my full refund back.

Truly love this pump. Second time mama here and I hated pumping with my first baby. I had the medela and ended up exclusively breastfeeding bc it was such an awful pump. The spectra gold is so quiet and strong, I barely turn up the suction and it does the job! It is also so nice to be able to pump one side longer and at different auctions. Truly love this pump and has me excited to pump so daddy can also give bottles and bond with baby!

Love it BUT the machine sometimes leaks ! It didn’t start happening until about. Month or so after I got it, the power is great but I notice it leaks a nasty brown color and it sometimes Has a order I’m not sure why it’s happening I have to place a towel under it as I never know when it’s gonna start it’s almost as if the glue is melting … if anyone knows how to fix please let me know!

PROS:Reliable, doesn't need charging. Will have to sit for pump session which I see as a mandatory break :)Parts easy to clean.Parts easy to assemble, quick start.Two sizes of breast shields provided with device.Easy to adjust suction from very low to higher level.Can adjust suction on each side separately, can start or stop each side separately.Remembers previous session settingsQuiet but still audibleNight light and back light touch panelSleek designVery fast international shipping from seller.CONShooked to electricity, not portableNo space to hold bottles like previous modelsSwitching from simulation to expression mode cannot be done separately for each side.Need to manually dial down settings of previous session if you want to start on lower suction.Automatic shut off at 30 minutes (normal for most pumps)Breast shields not so comfortable but not bad either (can connect to pumpables liquid shield set- see pic)Must handle pumped milk carefully, bottles not very stable, also capacity only 160 mlSomewhat large and heavy.Minimal accessories provided with purchase.Milk collection bottles dont come with a cap (rather a teet and disc).Customer service not excellent. Claimed the one I bought off amazon was not genuine. I'm pretty sure its genuine.American plug. Will need adaptor. Voltage compatible with international.Soft pump parts need to be boiled for 2 minutes (standard sterilizer will take longer. I add boiling water to a mug and remove after 2 minutes)Valves and membranes will need replacement (standard for most pumps)I still have to manually massage to get maximum volume. I had higher expectations from a spectra pump, but that could just be my personal anatomy.Overall:I feel it was a valuable purchase and I use it more than my other 2 portable pumps, but I cannot say that it feels very superior. The milk output is about the same range, maybe slightly more.The main reason I stick to is that the pump parts are easier to clean and assemble.You would still need a portable pump if you need to pump at work.

I’ve been using this daily 6-8 times since I was 1 week PP. this pump is incredible and really improved my output. I’m an exclusive pumper and you really can’t beat the motor on this thing.
