Spectra - Synergy Gold Dual Adjustable Electric Breast Pump - Breastfeeding Essential

The pumps not work and now I cannot return the item! Total disaster, do not buy it

Nicely product

I got this pump, mostly paid by insurance. I used it, I loved it. It is fully customizable for each side which is ideal. It is a really strong pump and helped keep my milk supply strong and steady but the trade off is it has to be plugged in. My pump broke, so I had to use a backup from a friend. A Spectra 1. It was not anywhere near as good and my milk supply dropped significantly. and I tried to follow up with Spectra for the 2 year warranty. They will not honor purchases from Amazon. I had registered my pump when I first got it and they said no. Luckily, once we knew nobody would help us we said heck with the warranty lets fix it ourselves and it was fairly easy. BUT lesson learned. If you're going to spend a lot of money on this pump (which you should), buy it direct from Spectra. They have a coupon floating around for 20% off too.

I have 3 kids all of which I have pumped for. I have used Medela, EvenFlo, MomCozy Wearable pump, the Spectra S2 (also a great pump), and variety of hand pumps. Nothing has been as impressive as this pump. The price tags is a bit of an ouch but I will say that I have had this pump for three years and I've pumped for 18 months on it and it is still going and the suction is still great. I am also an over producer. In the first 9 months I produce over 70 ounces in a day and this pump can handle it and does a great job of emptying breasts. It's also going for women with largers breasts because the pump has the power to help get all that milk out. With other pumps I would still feel like there was milk left after pumping. The dual settings are great for individual adjustments so you can adjust for comfort or to try to kick the slacker-boob into gear. It is very easy to find pump parts and replacement parts such as tubes, duckbills, large bottles or different flanges that work with the spectra. It is a closed system pump so the milk stays in the bottle area and never goes anywhere near the tubing making it last so much longer It's not the quietest pump but I've honestly never had an issue with baby or hubs waking up in the middle of the night because I'm pumping. Is easy to see the settings in the dark so you're not guessing if you've got the right button. It is not the lightest pump in the world so if you're taking it to work regularly it will get heavy but there are bags that fit in and honestly, if rather carry this around and be comfortable and know I'm getting a good pumping session in than use something more portable. I highly recommend this pump. I tell all my soon-to-be mom friends about it! Way to go Spectra! Keep up the good work!

I started with the Spectra S1 and switched to Medela Symphony, before I realized my two sides need very different suction levels. My slacker boob needs a level 10 and my over producer is happy with level 3. The Spectra Gold is perfect for me and I find the suction more comfortable somehow than the S1, though I can’t explain it.

I bought this as a recommendation from my lactation consultant. I have the Momcozy s12 pro, medela pump in style and this one. I’ve been using it for 2 months now. It is sooooo worth it! The only downfall is being plugged in and not being able to get anything done but it better to relax when pumping anyway.
