Best Personal Electric Breast Pumps
Sponsored Links
Except where
otherwise noted, these breast pumps are all electric with AC adapter included.
They are intended to be single user* and have a one-year warranty on the pump
mechanism. The vacuum strengths given are plus or minus 20 mmHG*. All can be
purchased with bags with insulated totes and freezer gel packs. All permit
double pumping* or single pumping.* All come with bottles that fit a standard
baby bottle nipple, not the wide kind. Parts that come in contact with the
breast milk may be washed in the top rack of the dishwasher, though longevity
of parts may be better with hand washing. These breast pumps will
typically receive 4 or 5 stars out of a 5 star rating by breast pump reviewers.
