5. How does this pump compare to others you have used?
   This pump was very comfortable and effective for me. With the double pump kit, I could pump in 15-20 minutes and still read email or make phone calls with my free hand.

   The pump assembly detaches and can be used as a manual pump. I did this in the car and on vacation a few times. It worked fine but was tiring for my arms. The Isis is *much* easier.

6. Other comments:
   I liked the cigarette ligher attachment for pumping when I wasn't in my office. The pump is a bit noisy.
