great pump! Better than Medela!
The unimom pump is very good. I have a couple of issues though.. with the silicone massager it really helps me to get a letdown quickly however they are too small for me. I really wish they made them larger to accommodate the 27 mm /30 mm flange. I can get the milk I need in 30 mins with the silicone massager but it’s sore. Without it it takes me an hour to get the same amount of milk :( There is also a loud knocking noise after pumping a long time.. don’t know if the motor is wearing out or overheating? Machine gets very hot to the touch .
Purchased at Trademe.

Awesome product
This pump is my best friend! Easy to assemble, use and clean! Great size for travel. Has really helped my milk supply. Great value for money. I use it every 3-5 hours. It is a little noisy but doesn't matter too much.

I should have bought one earlier
I wish I bought a unimom breastpump right away after my baby was discharged from NICU almost 3 months ago. The midwife recommended unimom brand to me but I wasn’t too sure if the quality is the same as the hospital’s one. After 3 months of hiring a medela hospital grade, I’ve finally given unimom a chance. I can’t believe how good it is! The pump’s grade is the same as medela’s hospital grade pump. My money is not wasted at all. I could have had a lot of savings if I bought one right from the start. Thanks unimom for delivering the product as you said it was.

Love it, great pump
I've never been able to express milk but this pump is so different compared to others. I love it. Highly recommend.I only pump when I need to or if I need to leave my baby for a small amount of time so don't use it everyday. Very comfortable to use and I love that you can buy replacement parts at a reasonable price.

Excellent pump!
I was given this pump by my sister and think it’s great! I used a Medela with my first and this is more powerful.
It has powerful suction and the double makes it quicker. I didn’t find the breast massagers comfortable as I have large breasts but it still works well just a with the flanges.
Highly recommend.

Your journey is one that I share and relate to. I had also used the Forte to comfortably and efficiently express for my daughter while allowing myself to heal from nipple trauma. Like yourself, I persevered. The first two months were the hardest, but it got a lot easier after that and we kept going until my daughter decided to stop at two years and eight months. We are very happy that your son and you are doing well and hope you are able to continue on your breastfeeding journey for as long as you both desire.

Life Saver!
Had supply issue with both babies, had to use a pump at the hospital then home to encourage milk supply (as well as the the baby ofcourse), this is just as good as the hospital one and used it for both babies, it’s comfortable, very hygiene as the parts can be sterilised in the microwave, and very good range of suction power that can be adjusted to suit. A real life saver!

Perfect & easy to carry anywhere
I bought this double breast pump in November 2014 and it served me for 6 months non stop. As my son was hospitalised many times during this period and on many occasions I wasn’t allowed to touch him. But due to this excellent pump I was still able to feed him my milk. As he was allergic to formula, I don’t know how we would have keep him alive without help of this pump. Thanks for serving me during my hard time. it’s very easy to clean & quick to fill 2 bottles at same time. It’s small machine to use for travelling, too.

Well made and sturdy.
Not sure how the comfort compares to other pumps as this is the only one I used. It was easy to use and clean. At one point I had it on the ground and accidentally kicked it and the valve snapped. I emailed unimom who replaced the valve for free and express posted it to me the next day. Excellent customer service!

Highly recommend!
I got this pump after having my second baby. With my first I used the medela swing single which was recommended to me at the time, I therefore thought that it was the best available on the market but boy was I wrong! For many months I struggled on with it unaware that there was a much better, more comfortable and efficient pump available on the market. With breastfeeding my second baby I dreaded the thought of using the medela again, even the sound of it makes me quiver! I'm so glad I found the unimom forte, it makes pumping a dream. Even as a double, it is quiet, very efficient and super comfortable. Definitely using it for future babies!

good while it lasted
this pump was great it lt kept up my supply really well and it extracted so much milk. the double suction took away pressure from each though when you used them both at once. also it was hard leaning forward all the time otherwise the milk would leak out. it was good while it lasted it broke 2 times while i had it unfortunately in 1yr.

The precision dial on the Unimom Forte is normally halfway for most mothers when they use the Forte. Too strong a suction can cause permanent damage to your nipples, and does not improve the yield. Breast pumping should be gentle and cause no pain. You can increase the dial slightly to increase the suction when you double pump, but we do not advise going too high. The Unimom flanges are designed to be slanted slightly downwards to assist with the flow of breastmilk and prevent the milk leaking out of the flanges. Using the optional silicone massager though, might cause the milk to leak out if it is not properly inserted or is worn out. Do check your silicone massager. Like any other brands, the white valves, large membrane, and silicone massagers would need to be replaced every few months. We are sorry for your issues with your breast pump. There was a gear issue in some pumps from a previous batch. This has now been fixed by the manufacturer.

The Unimom Forte is designed designed for intensive use (i.e. 8 to 12 times a day, maximum 30 minutes each time). You would find it better to double pump 15 to 20 minutes each session, rest for 10 minutes, and then double pump again. This would be less tiring for you, and also yield more breastmilk.

This is the best breast pump I've ever brought!!
Before I started using this breast pump I'd only get 80-110mls in 20minutes. My pump arrived yesterday and I've already got 300+mls stored in the freeze. I highly recommend this pump, best thing I've ever brought, and so easy to use.

Didn't work for me!!
I couldn't get any milk with this, nor the avent electric. Was too difficult using two at once and I had much more success with a medela hand held. The reason I suspect it gets so many good reviews was because it offered free products for a good review!! Well my babe is nearly 4 so that was a few years ago. But I didn't even keep it for my second.

Firstly, to clarify, Ubere has been a distributor for Unimom for less than three years. We have never and would never offer any free products for any reviews. That is against our values and principles. Electric pumping is definitely different from using a manual pump. Being relaxed, thinking happy thoughts, and looking at pictures or videos of your baby, help with your milk flow. Double pumping also helps to establish and increase one's milk supply. It is basically doing the same amount of work in half the time (instead of expressing from one breast at a time). You can use a breast pumping bra or tube to enable handsfree pumping. Perhaps these are some strategies you can use for your next baby. I had learned them from lactation consultants that I had worked closely with, and they have served me well with my own Unimom Forte, bought over five years ago. Hope they will be of help to you.

Great pump and fantastic customer service!
I purchased a Unimom Forte pump from the Hospital Pharmacy where my baby was born. Unfortunately we were going to be separated as he needed specialist care in a hospital over an hour away. I needed a pump as soon as I was discharged from hospital. I was also just establishing my supply so needed something reliable, sturdy, compact and easy to use. I had done some research on pumps and knew that I wanted a closed system and the option to double pump. I wanted value for money too. Enter the Unimom Forte.
Fast forward to almost a year of easy u...Read more
se and it was clear that my pump was going to need a service. I sent an email to Uberebaby on a Saturday night and received a phone call on the following morning, a Sunday morning no less! Not only that, Eileen at Uberebaby arranged to drive to my work place on Monday to pick up the pump AND provide me with a loan pump! I don't know of any other company that would do that. I would have recommended the Unimom Forte before the utterly AMAZING customer service I received as it is a great pump BUT couple that with the service and you can't go wrong with this pump.1 comment

As good as Medala for far less
I bought this pump after borrowing a Medala from a friend and I can honestly say this pump is as good if not better, and it was a quarter of the price. As well, the Unimom can be used by different mums hygienically, which the Medala isn't. Suction is great, results were great, I was really happy with this pump.

The best breast pump I have ever used
I tried several breast pump and found this product. I have been breastfeeding my son for more than 1 year. The product is very powerful,with double electric pump. I can easily use the twin pump in one time. The price is reasonable.The only disadvantage is the product is a little heavy and not easy to carry.

Forte Unimom breast pump - Great Product and Value!
I bought the Forte - hospital grade breastpump 6 months ago just before my DS arrived. Being a FTM i had no experience with pumping or breastfeeding and really no knowledge of the pumps out there.
