Ameda Purely Yours Electric

We first got a Philips Avent single electric pump that was fine until we realised how long expressing milk takes. We found this Ameda double pump on sale and immediately loved it. Cuts your expressing time in half and is small, powerful and compact enough to fit everything inside a small lunch cooler bag for travel. It is also the same brand that a lot of hospitals use / loan out (albeit they have the commercial versions). The only downfalls are that the bottles are smallish capacity and unlike the other major brands, you can't easily find a ni...Read more

I have owned 3 of them (2 were second hand, one was brand new). Yes, i know, after the first 2 i should have learnt my lesson but i had all the attachments and was used to operating this pump, so i thought maybe i was just having bad luck. Each unit lasted me a few months, loss of suction was the major issue, and we found that the motor is cheaply made and breaks at the same place (had a little rattling sound, it was a piece of broken plastic).
The good thing about this pump is that it's a closed system (ti's the only way i would buy second ha...Read more

After recently purchasing Ameda double electric breast pump, I was disappointed with the product in general including suction. We have also noted that after 20min the pump stops working and the diaphragm collapses. I have attempted to contact the manufacturer and the supplier Milkbarbreastpumps.com.au in regards to a refund as the product supplied is not fit for purpose and does not function as described. They have advised that they want to me to do all the running around for a product which was defective from from delivery!!!

I did my research and splashed out on one of these with #1 as it's a closed system and I wanted to be able to use it for more than one child. It had great reviews! It was barely used with #1 yet still managed to cark it about 2 nanoseconds out of the 2 year warranty. I called the company to see if I could pay to have it repaired and I could not. They said it might be the belt so I opened it up to see if I could replace it myself. I discovered a crucial piece of plastic in the motor had sheared off and couldn't be replaced, glued or fixed in any...Read more

Bought a second hand unit before our bub was born as we thought it might come in handy, little did we know we come to depend on it.
Get over the icky sensation of buying a second hand unit - clean and sterilze and all is good.
In a nutshell - the pump works well.
The previous owner used it for a number of years for multiple children before we took ownership of it.

We use it for every feed and the only issue we have experienced is the user controls are a bit small and hard to rotate making it easy to go from low suction to excess suction w...Read more

Best features: Reliable reliable reliable. Base has two deep wells to fit two bottles without risk of tipping over, can use one or two pumps at same time. Super simple to use. Comes with lots of spares.

Used it for bubba one and two. Less frequently for bubba 1 as I wasn't working, so it was more of a back-up. Great for storing some extra milk in the fridge, but really came into it's own when my supply was getting low. Bubba one weaned himself at 22 months.

Brought the Ameda back out of storage after a four year gap. At fir...Read more

If you're like me you have read good and bad reviews on this product. One thing I noticed was far more bad reviews than good- again not unusual (I probably wouldn't have written this post if I hadn't had a bad experience). Unfortunately the nightmare experience has come to fruition for me. I experienced complete loss of suction within seconds of pumping. When I contacted the online company I purchased it from they didn't even know how to use it so couldn't even help me troubleshoot. They then proceeded to advise me that I must have torn a diaph...Read more

I purchased this pump 2 years ago after hiring a pump from the hospital for the first month after my baby was born, and couldn't be happier with it. I initially used it to increase my milk supply, as breastfeeding was a bloody nightmare for the first 8 weeks with combination feeding on the breast with a nipple shield, feeding her milk expressed after the last feed, feeding her formula, then pumping. Finally got breastfeeding sorted at about 12 weeks, so only needed the pump if I was out. I had a few Christmas parties to go to so I was able to t...Read more

I am not someone to write reviews about products but really felt like i had to warn mommys NOT to spend their hard earned money on this cheaply made junk!! I bought the Purely Yours Ameda breast pump for $200!! Although i loved it WHEN it worked in the beginning it broke as soon as the warranty ran out!! My friend also bought the same pump broken in the exact place as mine broke! She then bought a brand new 1 it lasted 2 months broke also in the exact place!! Thats 3 faulty pumps in a year!!! And i am not a person thats hard on my things, i tak...Read more

I purchased the Ameda Purely Yours breast pump as I decided to bottle feed my 12 week old due to the stress of breastfeeding a baby with silent reflux and also to monitor her intake to determine if top ups were required. After only a few uses, the pump started hissing and the motor would sometimes cycle irregularly. It also started losing suction. I contacted the Ameda representative in Australia who sent me the user manual and told me to contact the supplier that I purchased the pump from for further help. When I contacted the online retailer,...Read more
