Great Breast pump, Great service
With my first baby I used a Medela breast pump - it was VERY noisy, only had 2 settings (one that was too low and one that was painfully high) and could only pump one breast at a time so very time consuming. I wanted to find something better for my second baby and after reading the reviews for the Unimom Forte bought one and can say it is ten times better than the Medela I used last time.
I was surprised at how quiet it is, it doesn't wake my husband or baby when I use it through the night, it has a dial to vary the suction to exactly wha...Read more
t is comfortable for your individual needs, it is a double pump so makes pumping much quicker, its a closed system so much more hygienic, and once you know which parts go where its actually really quick and easy to clean and put together, especially since only a few of the parts are actually exposed to breast milk so you don't actually have to clean the whole thing every time just those few parts. To top it off the price was very reasonable compared to what else is available in that price range. Recently I managed to wreck 2 of the small components while sterilising, I phoned Eileen from Ubere Baby and she was able to supply the parts for $6 each plus postage which was very reasonable. They arrived the day after I paid and Eileen went above and beyond to make sure things went smoothly, she even organised everything and called me back to confirm things whilst being overseas. Before I purchased I read the reviews about the Australian rep for Unimom and how bad the customer service was but I can tell you that the NEW Australian rep Eileen is very friendly, helpful and efficient, couldn't recommend her or the Unimom Forte pump more highly.1 comment

Affordable closed-system double breast pump
I was looking for a closed-system double breast pump, having read a scary article about how unhygienic open systems are. I was so happy to stumble across the Unimom Forte during the last few minutes of a recent baby expo. Was even happier to find out it was so much more affordable compared to a certain other big brand. The icing on the cake was the customer service that came along with the product - Eileen was personable and friendly, and super efficient. I received my order within 2 days and received a friendly follow-up call to make sure all was in order. (Obviously, as with all pumps the annoying thing is there are so many parts to be washed! But that can't be helped!)
Can't recommend this product enough!

Affordable and reliable breast pump
I bought this pump with the intention of using it once a day which became several times a day daily. After extensive research and reading various online reviews on breast pumps, I decided to purchased this breast pump. Its very affordable, easy to use and works really well.
I like the fact the it has good suction which is very important if you want to keep a good supply of milk, like I need to.
The minimum suction setting is excellent because it massages and encourages let down and then I slowly increase the suction speed to get to the...Read more
suction speed I'm comfortable with. The bottle screws to the breast shield tightly so you're confident that it won't unscrew itself and spill your precious milk on the floor.This I thought is normal to all until I bought a portable electric double pump three or four weeks ago (different pump not from Unimom) and noticed the breast shield doesn't screw tightly onto the bottle. I highly recommend this pump. Its very affordable compared to other expensive pumps out there. It serves its purpose.1 comment

Great quality for a great price
I felt I should post a review of this pump given some of the negative reviews posted as a result of a distributors actions. Please bear in mind these reviews are a reflection on an individuals actions not the product itself. I bought from the Australian distributor that people have had so many problems with in late 2012 however I fortunately did finally receive my product (after over a month and much chasing up). It is such a shame that this distributors actions are reflecting badly on what is a fantastic product. I recall how frustrated I was ...Read more
waiting for my pump, it should have been there ready when my first was born as I ordered it in more than sufficient time however I ended up having to use a borrowed pump instead. I started with a Medela swing and found it uncomfortable and inefficient. In comparison the unimom forte was easy and comfortable to use as well as quick and efficient, not to mention extremely price competitive for a hospital grade pump. I never really got the hang of double pumping so can't even begin to imagine how much more efficient that would be. I am glad there is a new distributor so I can purchase spare parts and accessories next time round.1 comment

I have been exclusively expressing my milk for my bub who is almost 10 weeks old due to having latching issues. I started off using a second hand medela swing pump but given my concerns with the single phase and open system which could impact the hygiene of the milk when the milk back flowed into the pump, the time it took to pump as it was only single pump, I decided to buy a closed and double pump system.

I have purchased this unimom forte from [name removed] at uberebaby in Perth. [name removed] was so helpful and attended to my needs immediately and I arranged for my son to pick up the pump from [name removed] at her house. She was so efficient and even though she was quite ill with bronchitis couldnt have been more helpful and very efficient.
My daughter-in-law found it easy to assemble and use. very reasonable for a double pump

Great value product
I borrowed a forte from a friend in order to decide on purchasing. Bought from Perth company uberebaby.com, excellent service and communications on delivery, operation etc.
It's a very good product and very economical at less than half the price of the market leader. Small and compact which is good. Bottles have more parts to disassemble/reassemble for washing, but used to it now.

PRODUCT FANTASTIC - Customer service from Unimom.com.au TERRIBLE!!!!
I was a little unsure upon purchase but my mind was put to rest when I starting using this machine in hospital to get the flow going. I compared it to the hospital grade Medela and received exactly the same output as the Unimom, and it was just as easy to use.
It's now day 7 and baby is home, and the Unimom is still living up to expectation. I'm so glad I took a chance on this product. It's portable, easy to assemble and quiet.

Fantastic breast pump
I purchased the forte based on Internet reviews so I was a little nervous initially. But after using the forte for the last 4 months I am convinced that this is one of the best on the market. I can pump double the amount of milk in half the time compared to other pumps i have tried and it is easy to clean and super quiet. Very happy with the forte!

Excellent
This pump is great, I have just started going back to work part time and I am trying to breast feed as long as possible, I have been expressing milk everyday from two months ago so I now have a frozen stash. with this pump I have been able to express 1 bottle a day. this is my second child and with my first I didn't have an electric pump so I would end up with RSI in my wrists from trying to get a bottle of milk this pump is great I wouldn't be without it
inexpensive and quiet

Easy to set up and use
I used the medulla swing while in hospital, but couldn't justify the expense, particularly with all the other expenses associated with a newborn. After seeing it won bronze in the mother and baby awards 2013 I went ahead with the uni mom forte and couldn't be happier with it, it's relatively quiet, easy to set up and use and great that you can adjust the suction strength, have also found the suction rhythm is far more comfortable then that on the medulla swing. All parts are easy to disassemble and clean.
Easy to set up and use, can pump in front of the tv without disturbing others with the noise

I'm in love
I purchased a unimom double breast pump 3 months ago and because I'm exclusively express breastfeeding my baby I use it around 6 times a day and it is great. So easy to use, comfortable and empties my breasts within 10 minutes. I have recommended this product to my due in group and they have also purchased and loved your product.
Easy to use and very reliable comfy and reasonably priced compared to other like products on the market.

Great pump
I have been using the pump most mornings since having my little girl who is now 13 weeks old and it's been wonderful. Very effective for single or double pumping. I have used a hospital grade electric pump and this absolutely matches it in every way. Have recommended it to friends who are currently pregnant.
Efficient, quiet, easy to clean, works perfectly double or single, ability to alter suction strength, inexpensive compared to others on the market
Can't sell it on as it's not a closed circuit - but from the reading I did online, no pumps should be sold on as there is never a guarentee that there won't be cross contamination no matter how well you think they've been cleaned!

Affordable and effective electrical breast pump - Unimom Forte - highly recommended
I used the Medela Symphony breast pump and loved it but can't justify the cost of renting or purchasing it, then I came across review on the Unimom Forte hospital grade breast pump. For a special price of $149.95, it sounded too good to be true, but i trusted the feedback i read and ordered one to try out. I had to wait a few weeks for it due to stock issues but it is worth the wait. The parts are easy to assemble and wash. The milk bottles come with the package are tough. The shape of the teats are like the ones the hospital uses in the special nursery.
Effective, inexpensive, lovely design, portable
Nothing so far

Great product. Good value
I could express more milk compare to my old breastpump. It's very effective, the pumping sound is not as loud as other breastpump & good value for double breast pump. The size is a bit big but it is a hospital grade pump. Thus i am still very glad that i purchased Unimom forte.
Inexpensive, reliable, strong suction

Questions & Answers
DONNA Y.asked
I seem to have an issue with the milk pumping up instead of Into the bottle? It's not everytime and if I change the lid, rubber circle and plastic base it works fine. It's weird though because I'm replacing it in exactly the same position and then the milk goes into the bottle.
I hope this makes sense, just not sure where I'm going wrong?
Thanks
