5. How does this pump compare to others you have used?
   Far and away the most useless of the bunch. I wouldn't recommend this pump to *anyone* who would have to pay for it. That said, I did revert to it once when My mini electric broke and before I owned the Avent Isis manual pump. It was better than nothing -- barely.

5. How does this pump compare to others you have used?
   I hated it! It wasn't uncomfortable, but then, it wasn't getting *anything* out either! The little button you have to push was a real pain -- I didn't see the point with the battery since you have to do the pump action yourself anyway. I literally couldn't get a drop with this pump, and that was after 1 year of regular pumping with other pumps. I was able to get *tons* more milk with the Isis (which is manual).

5. How does this pump compare to others you have used?
   At the time I thought it was pretty good, but had nothing else to compare it to. Also, aside from just holding it in place, it didn't require any other work, so was nice. It got milk out pretty efficiently and didn't hurt.
6. Other comments:
   I wish I could remember the name of this one, as I recall haveing a pretty good experience with it. But I was unable to find anything like it when I shopped for a pump for baby #2.

5. How does this pump compare to others you have used?
   Never really got the hang of it and at this point (when I tried it) was ready to give up pumping because of my previous experience.
6. Other comments:
   Never got the hang of using it, so apart from frustration, not much to say. I never got more than 1 oz out of it, and seldom that.
