Medela pump in style vs spectra s25/5/2023 ![]() ![]() It is a closed system pump meaning the milk does not go into the tubes or the motor. The Ameda Purely Yours features separate controls for speed and suction. A call to Medela for support yeilded a new pump being sent overnight, but I had the same issues with the new pump. There was also a noticeable air leak sound that I could never find the cause of. The pump was very loud, so loud that it would wake my husband and sleeping child. The suction was rough and the let down phase does not mimic that of a child. After a week of multiple daily uses the motor began to go out and I could only use it as a single pump. The letdown feature never brought on a let down for me either. I had to have the suction turned all the way up in order to be able express any milk at all, which caused swelling and painful nipples. Ultimately I wasn’t very happy with the PISA after my son was born. The one button operation is great when you only have one hand to use for pump operation. ![]() ![]() The pump was extremely easy to set up, taking only minutes to go from out of the box to ready to use (after sterilizing of course). I went out and bought extra flanges, extra bottles and a battery operated pack for traveling. It was light weight, easy to use and easy to clean. The PISA features a two phase expression with an automatic let down phase, double electric pump that can also be used as a single pump, lightweight design and several options for carrying. Ordering was quick and easy, and I had my pump 2 days after hitting submit. The first pump that I got was the PISA through Edgepark. I know that when I was looking for the best pump on the market, I researched them all. Depending on your location and insurance company, you may qualify for a free or greatly reduced PISA or Purely Yours. When it comes to breast pumps there are three big names out there: Medela’s Pump In Style Advanced (PISA), Ameda Purely Yours and Spectra S2. ![]()
