Good little pump, a few features could be improved
I purchased this pump for occasional expressing. I've had the pump for 6 months. It generally works well, is light-weight and easy to assemble and clean. The settings are useful and easy to use, I like having the option to increase the frequency of the pumping and the strength was more than enough for me. Overall has been good, but there have been a few drawbacks which I will mention for others who may be considering which pump to purchase.
I haven't been able to obtain a high volume of milk, which may be due to the funnel being of incorrect s...Read more
ize. It is good that the Milk Genie comes with 3 sizes, however, I still required a smaller size which is not possible to purchase. A hack with pumping equipment designed for alternate brands is possible, but I was reluctant to purchase more equipment in case it didn't work. The main drawback for me has been that the tubes fall out of the pump very easily - this has made double pumping quite a challenge and I am unable to pump when feeding (I get best volumes this way) as my baby now pulls it out wherever I position. The bottle doesn't screw very tightly into the other part of the pump so sometimes comes loose and the neck of the bottle is horizontal and quite wide so I can't get all of the milk out of the bottles afterwards. When I purchased the pump it wasn't clear what came with it - lovely to receive pump to bag adapters and storage bags, but I had also purchased an additional pump to bag set, which was a waste. Pump is good, but in hindsight I would have bought a pump from a more expensive brand that I knew I could purchase different sized equipment for.Purchased at Pumpables.

Mighty little pump
I used this pump to exclusively express for my baby for 6 months, for the first two months i was using a large medela pump. The milk genie matched the large pump with the added bonus of being portable. I purchased a cheap pumping bra on eBay and walked around with this in my pocket. My daughter was a catnapper and of she woke quickly while i was still pumping this little gem allowed me to tend to her at the same time. Its so strong and powerful for its size. I was tossing up between this and the s9 and im so glad i went with this little beast. ...Read more
The price point is great too. Their customer service is also amazing. My pump was showing and error but still worked exactly the same with no issues. All i did was ask what the error was on the pumpables community facebook page and within two days a brand new pump was at my door. No questions asked. Ive never dealt with such an amazimg cutomer service team. 100% recommened this pump and pumpables brand in general.Purchased in July 2021 at Pumpables.com.

Great machine and comfortable
I received Pumpables Milk Genie from my friend. Once I got it, I just cant wait to open and tried it with greatest excitement. The pump is handy, easy assembling, quick charging, quiet and comfortable. Its gentle but also powerful, perfect for mums who have flat and sore nipples like me.
I used 20 minutes and pumped 110ml all together. It may be nothing for mums with great milk supply. However, it is a lot and means a lot to me who generally pumped 50-90ml. And its effortless. At the end of pumping, I didn't feel any discomfort on my nipples! What a gift!
Now I have put my Spectra aside and focus on using your pump for days and nights.

Great pump
Comfortable pump that has a handy programming option to save your usual settings. Use daily multiple times a day and it is lasting well. Easy to transport. I just don't like the way that level 7 on the pumping mode it quite different from 6 and 8.

Great machine but needs more accessories and a few tweaks to be amazing
I've only had this pump for about a week, and it is a fantastic little machine. It's really small, quiet and powerful. It gets about as much milk as the hospital grade medela one I was using after the birth of my son. I only have a few things I would like to see pumpables add to make this great.
The pump needs a clip, as it's too big for most pockets and women's clothes often don't have them, a travel case with a wet bag or wet area would be good to make it even more portable. The bottles it comes with don't let the last drops of milk out due ...Read more

I love, love, love my Milk Genie!
I’m so happy I stumbled across the Milk Genie about a month into my breastfeeding journey, it has been an absolute blessing for me!
I was so close to buying the Spectra portable (after trying it whilst in hospital) but at the last minute decided on the MJ after reading its reviews and realizing it was a fraction of the price. I bought the older model new on Groupon for just over $100 and it was an absolute bargain - so portable and lightweight.
I’ve been and pumped everywhere with my MJ - interstate several times, plus I took it on our 8 week t...Read more

The game changer!
I purchased 2 pumps and stumbled across the milk genie on sale. It’s amazing.
It’s comfortable, portable, compact and quiet! Only downfall is there’s is no clip for portability. I express the same as the Medela, which is a lot. It’s great for on the go.

Great pump 100% recommend
Bought this pump as it was on offer on groupon and I wasn't sure at 20 weeks pregnant if I'd successfully breastfeed my baby. It's been amazing. My daughter hasn't a great latch so I'm 90% expressing all her feeds. I get 450-600mls per day using the milk genie. It's quiet, small, easy to clean and not painful to use. I prefer to use it as a single pump as my breasts work better on different settings. I usually use it for 30 minutes X 6 times a day. Battery life is good. When on one bar the suction does decrease a bit. So glad I bought it!

Can't believe how easy it is
I bought this based on positive reviews, not disappointed!
I only need to use it on levels 2-4 and I get good suction without pain. I started using it as my milk came in late and I needed all the colostrum I could get. It was a life saver for me to maintain exclusive breast feeding. I use it to fully drain my breasts now after she feeds.
Powerful but gentle on my nipples.
Small and portable.
So easy to clean and take apart.
Thank you so much

Not for me..
Really disappointed.
I completely agree with the review below. I had high hopes for this pump but sadly it hasn’t lived up to my expectations.
The suction is ok but I find the noises the pump makes is really loud. I don’t seem to be the only one who thinks this? It makes pumping near your baby really hard as if the baby is asleep the noise will wake her up.
There is no clip so you need to buy extra products for this to be a portable pump.
Battery life is not long. It cuts out after a couple of hours, much less than the advertised amount. Probably half the time stated.
Unfortunately I’m going to stick with my other pump. ...Read more
The only positive was that shipping was fairly fast and multiple plugs are in the box. I also had 3 emails since purchasing asking to leave a review in return for a discount code so I’m not sure how accurate these reviews are?Purchased in December 2021 for $200.00.

uld it be around the 2.5 hour mark? If shorter than that, please get in touch as you could have a fault. The Genie Plus is really quiet - it's not going to be silent, but it's a lot quieter than many other pumps. It might be worth emailing us at [email protected] and we can have a listen and see if things seem normal. And oops about the emails, that sounds like a bug!Similar opinion?

Low suction and loud
The pump is comfortable but the suction seems low on all settings and i can barely get an oz of milk, even when my breasts are full. Would not recommend.

Best pump & customer service!
My pump recently started to die more frequently, I emailed the pumpables team asking how I would go about getting a replacement pump, I didn’t check my emails again that day expecting a couple of days to reply, the next day I open my door and have a package for me. It was a brand new pump with all the accessories. No questions asked!
Due to a poor latch I sorely reply on my pump to feed my daughter, im using my pump multiple times a day. I’m blown away by how prompt these guys are. Oh and my pump has been amazing, I use to have the AVENT one but switched to Pumpables after I heard good reviews. Honestly if you’re reading this, just stop and go order the pump you will not regret it one bit at all.

It's my first electrical pump and I love it.
It's easy to use and carry around.
Friendly with my nipples.
I use it once every day since February 2022.
I like the fact that it's quite silent. Can be used near the sleeping baby without issue.
The shipping was fast and reliable.
I would recommend this pump to all mums.

Great portable pump
Loving it as a portable pump. Small and compact and looks great! I can use it around the house with ease. Only problem I have is that the flanges does not fit the bottles and adapter to standard neck well. It is extremely difficult to remove the adapters and put them back. Not sure if it is a defective piece.

Hmm interesting. It could possibly be that the screw is 'suctioning' too tight. This can happen if there's any moisture on the part when you screw it together. Hopefully this is the problem, and you will see this lol. Thanks for reviewing!

Awesome little pump
Super happy with this pump. I exclusively express for my son so I bought the Milk Genie Plus to use as my portable pump when I go out (probably use it twice a week on average). It’s so small and light. I get a similar yield with it as I do with my main pump at home (in a similar timeframe) which is great.
+ Lots of different settings to suit everyone.
+ Love that it includes 3 different flange sizes as most brands will give you one and if that doesn’t fit, you have to buy the size you need.
+ Option of single or double pumping.

The real genie to all EPM mum
It is lighter and more efficient than my previous pump. so quiet that i can pump in the taxi without the driver noticing! It's my new bff. I can fit my Avent bottle directly to it. I'm leaving my freestyle buddy at home and bringing my genie bff out with me.

Questions & Answers
Emer C.asked
Can I buy additional bottles/teats separately?
1 answer
I only use separate bottles but I just pour the milk from the pumpables bottle into the Nuk ones I have
janiebgasked
Are there sterilizers and bottles for this pump?
2 answers
The instruction manual tells you how you can sterilise the parts (and which parts you can sterilise!). It comes with 2 bottles (for milk collection) and 2 teats which you can attach directly to the bottles for feeding.
Customer Service T.Pumpables
Thanks for answering Ngoc! No sterilisers included, but you can use any standard method. The pump comes with 2 full pump kits, including bottles, breastshields etc. Please let us know if we can help with anything else :)
