It is obvious when milk first starts to flow as there is some in the bottle, but after that, it is difficult to see if there is still milk coming into the pump, or dripping into the bottle so I have to keep tilting it to check. The teat is easy to assemble and screws tightly and neatly onto the bottle and there is a cap to keep it clean and spillproof. After a few manual pumps to select your rhythm you push a button on the motor unit and then the electronic pump takes over.

Other than that maybe the size of the pump could be a little smaller but that being said the size I don't feel is a problem.

The large number of separate parts can be hard to assemble at first, but you quickly get the hang of it. Based on milk flow initiation time (time to Milk Ejection Reflex - MER) results from clinical trial with 20 participants (Netherlands, 2019) compared to time to MER results for other Philips predecessor pump techology from Feasibility study with 9 participants (Netherlands, 2018).I felt the different settings on this breast pump gave a good range of stimulation and expression levels to experiment with and I was able to reach one I was comfortable with in each session. Compared to a hard plastic flange that’s a feature of other pumps, the silicone cushion insert in the Philips Avent Electric Pump was quite comfortable.

I like the fact that the silicone cup moulds around your nipple and so would be suitable for a range of nipple sizes. The pump can be easily adjusted from stimulation mode to milking mode, and it uses the right amount of stimulation of the nipple and suction to increase the milk flow. The power on the pump stays the same whether you are using it plugged in or cordless which is a huge benefit as I have used pumps where the suctions is much less when you use it out and about and not plugged in. The silicone shield promises a more comfortable expressing experience and is designed so that you can pump sitting upright rather than having to lean forwards slightly.
