Breast Pump Medela Vs Spectra




Medela Vs Spectra Breast Pumps

Bottom line, inspite of lot of good things on spectra, I wanted a reliable, fast extracting machine, so I liked medela being exclusive pumper. May be for moms who extracts less milk less than 6-7 oz milk and who do not exclusively pump might love spectra.

Note: This is based on 2016 usage and model.

Spectra S2
Medela
Looks fancy
Traditional
nightlight helps you during night time pump and can act as a night lamp
no lights
inbuilt timer to help monitor pumping timing
no timer
do not hurt nipple even setting in MAX (may be the mechanism is different)
Hurts nipple (may be the mechanism is different)
Back flow protector to prevent milk in tubing for hygienic
no back flow protector
bottle marker faded after 2 months of use
haven't yet, looks good
For me it took more time to extract milk even in Max setting compared to medela, not major difference but even saving less than 5 mins makes difference
Can extract milk faster atleast in4-5 mins difference
I Have issue with it after using it for 2 months exclusively pumping 6 times a day that during one slot it does not extract milk in one or both breast, so I have spend more than hour and massage and press along with the pump to extract the milk
haven't had any issue yet
