After 4 days of testing the spectra..vs the Elvie Stride (my opinion - take it/leave it and be sure to test what is best for you)..I am a business owner and in front of a computer all day..so this is for the modern working EP. 1. Output. Down with the Spectra S1 by about 2 ounces compared to Elvie Stride (contrary to what LC told me would happen indicating the only way I will fully empty is with a spectra s1...wrong.. - - remember to always test out what is best for you). Where is there a breast pump testing subscription...lets go Amazon...get this rolling so we can try out breast pumps since there are only about 100 freaking pumps on the market. Goodness. 2. The traditional flanges are not for me…the pumping bra (still can’t get the flanges to be secured in the kindred bravely pumping bra 3. Tubing sucks on spectra - I could not walk around it gets caught on everything and moves the flange from the nipple. So many times this happened to me but I also need to sit my butt down but who has time to be sitting for 30 straight minutes in the optimal position when having trad'l flanges on...! 4. Cleaning - bulky parts - Elvie has less and stores in the fridge with the fridge hack better in the elvie plus bag it comes with..throw the cups in there...and then throw them in the fridge - nice! 5. Discreet - way better with the Elvie cups..these flanges are frankly in the way! I go out for walks with the elvie stride cups, I am on calls, I just look busty. 6. Power/comfortable - Elvie cups are better for me, Flanges are so uncomfortable and I have to haul around that huge power machine 7. Mobile/hands free - could not type- awkward with spectra - I forget the elvie cups are on when typing/working. 8. Sitting position - have to have shoulders back with spectra otherwise milk seems to back up if not leaning forward frequently.. 9. Sound - Elvie quieter 10. Power…I find it to be the same.. the hub on Elvie Stride is powerful..the optimal settings I have had to do is stimulation for 2 minutes..then expression upped from 5-6 on Elvie and now more milk. 11. Charges - more charging on stride, less on Spectra 12. How often - Yield is far better now and always going 30 minutes, with 2.75 hour frequency and by 3 hr mark pumping for 30 minutes…at 25 min my yield goes down and it took me a week to get it back!! My last pump has been at 8pm and my next pump is at 7am and can maintain at this volume with the first pump in morning being a “Power Pump”—google for the cycle..total with rests is 60 min. Earlier the pump the better..if I could just get up earlier like I use to…if I started my pump session at 530a wow the milk would be higher and still a good yield a few hours later. It is lower the later you go in the AM since prolactin is dropping..now that all makes sense why I had good milk yields when I was up with Fred at 1am and 5am! 13. beau cushions work great with elvie stride - more comfortable, too!

I am happy with this pump for my portable pump! I was recommended this pump by my OBGYN who got this pump because she is on her feet all day/active and I'm glad I went for it. So far I have been able to produce as much or more than my Spectra 1, which is fantastic. The benefit on top of it is that I can be hands free. The tubes and motor with the clip do not bother me, as the results are exactly what I need. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking to be hands-free and pump. I will say, it's not very discreet, but it is really quiet. Read more

The BEST breast pump!! I tried several pumps before purchasing this one. I needed something hands free so I wasn’t connected to the wall for every pump session. My milk supply INCREASED when I switched to this pump. Comfortable, easy to use, easy to clean. Read more

After trying the s12 & V1 pro momcozy. The v1 pro ended up being way too rough. This is life changing!! It’s so gentle but efficient at the same time. I get the same amount I get from my s1 spectra! Well worth the money in my opinion Read more

I was really happy with the LV Stride Double Pump at first great output and very efficient. But within two weeks, one side started making a hissing noise and lost suction. I requested a replacement, and just two days later, the other side had the exact same issue. It seems to be a common problem with the connectors, which is really disappointing after such a promising start. I wanted to love this pump, but the quality just didn’t hold up. Read more

Product itself is great, but elvie policy is very discriminatory as they don't go below 21mm. Women's breast come in different sizes, but for some reason elvie doesn't care about Women with smaller breast and doesn't want to manufacture Product for them. They said to use 21, which doesn't work at all. Spent 30 min and got 30ml only and with 17mm got 70mm in same time. Would be good if manufacturer would understand that literally one size doesn't not fit all. Read more

If you are on a breastfeeding journey, this is the pump for you. Working a 9-5 job, especially in customer service is hard. especially when your presence on the floor is needed and you can't get away to pump like you would like to. this pump makes it so much easier. Being able to walk around and not be tied down to an outlet does help alot. the motor is strong (hospital grade). Now this pump is not quiet , but its not to bad. it does make your chest look bigger than what it is so wear a sweater or something to cover your chest up (trust me) I have been using this pump for 14 months and its definitely worth it.

After using for a few days. I have to say I really like this pump. I have noticed the difference with this. There is a lot more output I have with this pump. I was using a spectra pump prior to this. Easy clean up and Love the hand free of it too. I have a toddler and newborn and this has been a life saver when my toddler is needy. Pricey but buy it. It was way worth it. Read more

Stopped working after 2 weeks of use. And, return period is over. Very unpleasant quality with such high cost Read more

El extractor Elvie stride salvo mi lactancia, es fácil de utilizar y muy discreto, el motor es prácticamente mudo. Puedo usarlo mientras trabajo, lo cual me ayuda a no tener que frenar mucho mi día para hacer extracciones varias veces al día por cierto tiempo. Su tamaño es muy práctico para llevarlo a muchos lugares Es fácil de lavar. La pila de dura bastante tiempo. Read more

I’ve had enough!! So much so, I am willing to waste my time with an infant by my side and write a review so other new moms don’t suffer like I have. I have purchased this piece of garbage twice!! Yes twice. Because when it works, which is 10% of the time, it works great. The suction is better than my spectra s1. It’s also convenient to care for a newborn and infant with low profile cups. With that said, only because I’m a complete fool did I continue to purchase parts for this garbage every single time it stopped working on me. As other reviewers have mentioned, those stupid little rubber gaskets fail often, and when they do, milk either falls out or you completely lose suction. The company doesn’t sell the rubber gaskets as replacement parts. You have to purchase the top cup part with it, making the whole thing cost a lot every single time you need to replace them. Talk about a rip off. Sometimes when a part fails mid-pump, suction messes up and milk goes into the tubes, and into the motor. This happened to me at least 4 times now in 6 months. If you’re lucky, you catch it before the pump breaks. I wasn’t so lucky once and had to repurchase the entire pump kit. When I received the new pump, the tubes were kinked, brand new out of the box. I reached out to the company and they sent replacement tubes right away. So their customer service wasn’t bad, at least from my experience. As I sit here for the third day, suffering because I can’t get a decent pump, I decided to finally write a review and warn about this thing. I’m currently using just one cup, one breast at a time, because this thing failed on me once again and I can’t tell which piece of rubber is the culprit. I’ve changed out several parts, waiting on the final piece with the gasket to see if that will fix it. All in all, I’ve spent around $1,000 so far servicing this thing and it’s still breaking on a weekly basis. My supply is suffering, my breasts hurt, I am forced to supplement with formula, and I am at my lowest point in my breastfeeding journey because I chose to buy the wrong hands-free pump. Ladies, save yourself the grief and pain. Do not purchase this pump!!!! Listen to the bad reviews. Stay away!! This company should be ashamed of themselves for knowingly producing a sub-par product and selling it to desperate moms who will do anything and pay anything to make sure their babies are fed. This is a disgusting tactic. A very blatant form of the pink tax, where we get shafted because we’re desperate. Read more

Bought based on reviews, Elvie definitely has the quietest breast pumps. I am awaiting delivery to test the efficacy of this hospital grade stride. Read more

Apenas llevo usándolo 3 semanas pero en realidad estoy muy contenta. Puedo usarlo mientras realizo otras actividades. Incluso dando consulta. A mi me realiza una extracción muy similar a la que tengo con mi medela. Cabe aclarar que en medela uso potencias muy bajas (2) y en el elvie entre 6 y 7. Creo que para alguien que usa potencias bajas con otros extractores es muy funcional. Si buscas algo con mucha potencia puede no funcionarte bien. Si usas potenciad altas en los extractores de "pared" creo que no te va a funcionar. Pero si usas potencias bajas vas a ser muy feliz como yo. También el super plus es que es muy silencioso , y sólo es 1 bomba. Tenía otro portátil y me distraía mucho estar escuchando 2 ruidos de cada pila y lo sentía pesado. Este al tener la pila independiente se siente super ligero. Read more

These are one of those items that are too personal to take too many photos of, so my opinion and word of mouth will have to more so suffice. I gave this item to my niece prior to her delivery. She didn’t have success with breast feeding the first child so it was her goal to make this time work. I found this Elvie One and decided it was what she needed. She was just released from the hospital and after using her manual pump and trying like crazy (to no success) to relieve her overly engorged breast, she decided to swap to the Elvie One and give it a shot. She let me know that this pump was able to relieve her COMPLETELY. As well as provide her with a huge supply that she would have otherwise not gotten. She has thanked me over and over all day telling me that this pump has probably saved her from developing mastitis. Not to mention the fact it’s cord free and she can wonder around without having to stay connected to something. The app feature is unlike anything else I’ve witnessed so far. If it wasn’t for this Elvie One, my sweet niece most likely wouldn’t have succeeded in her breast feeding journey. But it appears the Elvie One is helping her release her supply, as well as help it come in by doing so. This is a must for any trying mother! Don’t give up, friend! Read more
