I could compare this pump with the Lansinoh Lansinoh 50252 - manual breast pump.
In direct comparison, the Chicco pump of the optics scores forth while the Lansinoh pump allows faster and a little easier to assemble. However, this does not fall into too much weight, because the pump can quite Chicco quick and easy to assemble and I could do this even without instructions.
The cleaning is very simple, if you have a dishwasher. There I simply throw pure all parts - boil 5 minutes to disinfect - or clean in a microwave container for something.
The Chicco pump brought when pumping is "good" results. Well I put in quotation marks because the milk supply significantly here but less than it is in the baby or an electric breast pump. For 25ml per page I have pumps already quite a while and it's really in the hands. Again, I have to say that from the grip ago who prefer less visually appealing Lansinoh pump I. I do not know if it's because my hand is very small. But when I find Chicco pump pumping faster strenuous than my old pump.
Who does not have this direct comparison, or maybe just a bigger hand, this will certainly not perceive as a minus point.
In general, I can say that I am very satisfied with the Chicco pump and it is sufficient for my purposes - I nevertheless prefer to Lansinoh reach in doubt, the pump and in both cases, the hand pump only use when I want to prevent engorgement or from this out just something wishes to express milk in order to take some of the tension out.
For pumping to satisfy with the milk the baby, I would just use both devices, if it "now and then" occurs times. At that time I had used the Lansinoh once a week, to go to the regression rate. There was then okay. For a daily repeated pumping, I would advise against two pumps.
Nevertheless: The Chicco manual breast pump is well finished and done the job. She looks visually quite nice and easy to clean wonderfully light. The assembly also works quite simply.
I take off for me only one star because I have a pump that still easier way to assemble, feels better in my hand while pumping in the long run and I could use the pump ultimately only a "now and then" pumping. For a daily rate but must be found which electric. I emphasize here the "Draw the star off for me" because now times each breast is different. Another woman achieves with the manual breast pump maybe better results in less time.
