The Original is $250
The Advanced is $ 320

My lactation consultant recommended the Advanced. It's got this new fancy 2-Phrase Expression to mimic a babys nursing, which supposedly helps you get more milk in less time.

If the advanced is truly better, then I'd rather spend the extra $70.
But I'm wondering if it's not really much better, and it's just a way to get more money out of customers.

I know many of you have the Original and like it. Do any of you have the Advanced, or have experience with both? I'd like opinions on which one to get.

Thanx!

The original is excellent; no-one has any problem pumping with it. IThe 2-phase isn't a gimmick, but I think only someone with real problems pumping actually needs it.

I have a gemach for pumps and the last 2 or 3 we ordered were with the 2-phase. No-one has commented that it was a particular help.

I have the Original and found it to be fantastic! I don't know anything about the Advanced.

I have the advanced.
I gave birth in shaarei tzedek this past year, and the lactation specialist got me the advanced for $250 USD
I love the advanced it pumps quick and its great to use, I never did try the original though so I cant tell you the difference.
try getting it through your lactation consultant they can get you wholesale though medela sometimes.

I use the original and it's great.
do you know if you have any easy time pumping? if yes, the original should enough, I imagine. if you have difficulty, I don't know.

I keep several pumps in my baby gemach. When I tried to get a couple replacement dials and valve covers, the company told me they will not send anything because I have to register (only) one in my name. They won't honor pumps that are shared because of hygiene issues.

I think I know how to clean them between each use-the milk only comes in contact with the membrane (women use their own tubing/horns). Am I missing something? Do you have this problem?

I did get the parts from in independent dealer, btw.
