Quiet, easy to use
I use this every day or second day for about 20 minutes and get good output. The suction is hood and very adjustable. It's very quiet - does not wake husband or baby ehen I use it in the middle of the night. Cleaning is very easy and the portability is very handy.

Perfect! Couldn't imagine breastfeeding without it
Absolutely rave about this pump, I seriously can not imagine ever using a different pump again
Very easy to clean, great that it comes with the double pump option so I can have my pumping done quicker as I have a toddler to run around after as well as a newborn. 15 minutes on both boobs seems to empty my boobs enough as well as get my a great supply.

This is perfect!!!
This is a great pump with good suction and easy to use. I'm a first time mum and couldn't be more greateful that I have chosen this pump. So easy to use and very convenient with the portable function which means I can get on with things without having to be plugged into a power point.

Best purchase
I am very thankful I found this pump. Easy to use, not too noisey and works very efficiently. Spectras customer service team have been wonderful to deal with on every occasion and it is one of the few 'bigger' expense baby items that i dont regret buying'. I has the S2 with my first child and i was so happy with the product I upgraded the second time around for the S1 as it can be used without being plugged in so I could be a bit more mobile if needed whilst chasing a toddler around + I needed to use this one at work as well.
Parts are easy to clean and put back together, my 3 yr old easily reassembles them for me when shes wanting to 'help'. Definitely a great buy for any breastfeeding mums out there :)

Much better than Medela
I have both Medela electric double pump and the Medela manual pump, because many people use that brand, but after I using this spectra, I feel Medela total waste my money, I like spectra, more efficient, more comfortable, design looks nice. .It is very quiet when its pumping, easy to operate and clean, also has a wide range of vacuum settings to suit so that your nipples don't get sore. The product also has an effective massage setting which is extremely comfortable. Highly recommended.

Love this pump!
I previously had a cheaper pump and would never extract enough milk. It also really hurt my nipples and made a horrendous loud noise. The spectra is so much quieter, I've been able to use it while my baby is sleeping at night and there's been no disruptions. I now produce more milk too! If you're deciding over the pink or blue spectra I definitely recommend spending the bit extra to get the blue. Being able to charge it and use it without cords tangled anyway is more handy than you would think. Battery life of them is fantastic too!

Industrial strength!
Seriously great product. The suction is awesome and I can easily double the volume pumped compared to my other pump. Parts are plastic but well made. The rest horn is a little hard but accessories and spare parts can be purchased separately and at relatively cheap prices. Well worth the investment. I wish I hadn't wasted my money on other brands of pump. This trumps them all.

Purchased from Spectra during one of their 20% of Sales. Extremely happy with the pump - have used for many hours and its not showing any signs of wearing out.
Night light is very handy and so is the built in battery.
Big thanks to Spectra AU for understanding their clientele and shipping out the pump via the quickest method possible.
Happy to recommend to anyone - for what you get, its extremely good value compared to Medela.

Excellent pump and customer service.
Easy to use and clean. Excellent battery life.
Good suction even when double pumping. I find it fast and efficient.
Excellent customer service from spectra baby australia.
I did need to buy different size flanges, but that was easy to arrange.
The bottles that come with the pump are too small so I bought Avent classic ones instead.

Cordless is the must!
Love this reliable pump never let me down. I chose this over the S2 model because it has the rechargeable battery and it lasts long time! You only need to charge it once a week? I like moving it around the house so I can do things like watching tv, playing with my baby at the same time. I have been using this for nearly a year. It's quiet to use. Got a led light which is handy to use at night time when baby is sleeping. I only use it as a single pump so I can free one hand to do other stuff when expressing. Spectra customer service staffs are very helpful too!

Perfect alternative to the Medela hospital-hire pumps and far less expensive
The nightlight feature is awesome, the bottle holder behind the handle is useful, the display clear if not as good at night as tech fans would like and the settings options are everything my wife needed. She found it more comfortable to start let down than the Medela ones and got a higher flow with less hind milk left. Discount codes brought the price down a bit too - better to buy than the S2 as the built in battery does work even if you're just on the wrong side of the bedroom or want to pump in the bath, but we know mums who express in the car on the way to work with this on the passenger seat.

eats with Pigeon and Avent bottles was what we recommended to other parents with fussy latchers and both we and they'll had much better success, but decanting in the dark because of a lack of thread adaptors and the Pigeon teats not fitting into the SpectraBaby bottle cap rings was frustrating and exhausting. Pigeons cleaning product was more gentle than Milton and cleaned tubes more effectively than a steam sanitiser without risking contamination issues as it's ingestible - unlike Milton bleach!

Pretty strong machine
I purchases this machine after extensive research online. I had used a medela swing with my first child full time and it began malfunctioning at the 5/6month mark. This time round I wanted a double pump
I found out that the double medela pump had the same power as the single and it didn't give you the option of single pumping if you wanted like the Spectra.
Powerful pump, quiet too. Big and bulky, but I don't mind. I must say the funnel part is a bit hard to clean since it is one big piece. The bottles that came with the pump leaked. I calle...Read more

Best pump on the market
This pump is a must have for any working mum or preemie mum. I would not have survived without it! I unexpectedly had my baby over 6 weeks early, he could not breath on his own let alone feed. I felt helpless but the one thing i could do for him was provide breast milk. I used the hospital pump, a meleda symphony to start with but after a week i went home and my baby want going anywhere for the next 4 weeks. I used my Spectra S1 and it was just as good as the expensive hospital pump (over $1500). It is lightweight and portable (rechargable). I ...Read more

Fantastic breast pump with single and double pump options
I purchased this breast pump when I was going back to work and needed to express for my then 9 month old. It has a range of settings to pump milk including a let down function (that works!) and strength of pumping from low to high. For a hospital grade pump it is really well priced. Their customer service is great too. Highly recommended.

Great pump and great price!
Coming from a medela swing, having a double pump was extremely convenient.
With its rechargeable battery, it is easy for me to take this pump to work and express.
When I first started pumping, I was able to express 100-200ml per side, which was an increase from what I used to be able to do in about 10-15 minutes.
Parts are easy to pull apart and wash.
Instructions that came with it weren't the greatest.
Also, I wish there was an option to pick which size flange came with the purchase, as you end up having to pay a decent amount more for a new set and delivery.

Great Pump for a twin mum!
I was given this pump as a baby shower gift. I love the way it's durable and have different settings for massage and lactation with different speed. It isn't noisy and has the light that has 2 level of brightness which works wonder at night, so it doesn't disturb my babies and I don't have to get out of the room to pump. Even better that this product comes with double pump which fits most of the major brand wide neck bottles. This pump saves my time so that I have more time to rest.

far from perfect
I have been using S1 pump. It works great when using one side at a time, but the suction goes much weaker and uneven when using double side pumping, turns out it does not really save time to use double side pumping.
Also, the flanges that come with the package seem to be too big and always pull my nipples in too much. I am really worried if this will cause any damage to my breasts. Unfortunately, Spectra does not let customers choose proper flange size when purchasing their pumps.
The customer service person was really hard to talk to, always cut me off when I was trying to explain the issue and kept saying it's the issue with the parts and I need to purchase the replacement.

Great pump and great value for money
This pump is fantastic. It has great suction whether it is used as a single or a double pump. I didn't notice any loss of suction when using it as a double unlike other pumps.
The variety of settings allows you to find a comfortable mode depending on how your breasts are feeling that day. The let down mode is really good and gets the milk flowing quickly.
The battery is really handy - means I can use it anywhere inside or out of the house. I was pleasantly surprised with the battery life. I've been using this pump about 5-6 times per da...Read more
y and the battery went flat after 6 days! On other hand it's very quick to charge. Prior to purchasing this pump I hired the Medela symphony which was really good but I honestly think the spectra is better. It's more comfortable to use, it's smaller and lighter so easier to take with you, it has a timer so you can learn how long it will take to express making it easier to plan feeds etc, and the night light is super handy for middle of the night expressing. It's also heaps cheaper than the Medela symphony so much better value for money.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

What is the difference between the S1 and the S2?
Thank you

Customer Service T.Spectra
Hi David and Kung, thanks for your question. :)
The only difference between the S1 and the S2 is the S1 has a rechargeable battery and the S2 needs to be plugged into a power source to operate. :)
Other than that they have exactly the same specifications and features. :)
