Description
Finally, the Spectra 9 has been re-released as the upgraded Spectra 9 Plus, which has all the features you loved about the Spectra 9 but with some very important extras to make your life easier. Read it through:
What features does the Spectra 9 Plus have?
- The Spectra 9 Plus comes with a complete double kit so you can double pump – pumping both breasts at once saves so much time, which as a busy mum trying to find time to express, you will really appreciate. Double pumping also ramps up levels of prolactin (the milk producing hormone) in your blood, so is better for supporting milk supply.
- The Spectra 9 Plus has a nozzle for each milk collection kit, making it easy to swap from single to double pumping. Just attach a milk collection kit to both nozzles if you will be double pumping, or if you only want to single pump, you can just close off the second nozzle.
- Letdown mode – switch with a touch to the letdown mode, which is a light, quick mode designed to speed the start of milkflow, just the way a baby does. This will get you expressing faster and help your body get on board with the job of expressing milk.
- Easy adjustment of suction strength and cycle speed together – touch button controls allow you to adjust suction strength and cycle speed with one touch. As you increase the suction, the speed will slow down [see the S2 if you want even more control over cycle program].
- Inbuilt rechargeable battery – yes, we know you love this feature. Use your Spectra 9 Plus while plugged into mains, or just use it wherever you like from its inbuilt rechargeable battery.
- LCD display so you can easily see where you’re at with vacuum and cycle settings. There’s a battery indicator so you know how much charge you have left on the battery AND there’s a timer so you can keep track of how long you’ve been expressing.
- The Spectra 9 Plus is our most portable pump – lightweight and slimline, it will slip easily into your handbag.
- Closed system – like all Spectra breast pumps, the Spectra 9 Plus has a closed system, which means that there is no way for milk to get into the pump motor. Milk particles in the pump motor can lead to the growth of mould and is a potential source of virus transmission.
- As always with Spectra breast pumps, the Spectra 9 Plus has high performance vacuum with maximum suction of 300mmHg.
- Slow-flow teats are suitable for newborn feeding.
What are the negatives?
- Doesn’t provide as much flexibility over the pump program as the S2 (but still more than other pumps).
- Is noisier than the S2 and Dew models (but not as noisy as other pumps – we do try our best to keep the noise down! Please check out youtube for some pump comparisons so you can get a feel for how much quieter Spectra pumps are than other brands!).
- If you are exclusively pumping or needing to rely on a pump to establish supply, we do always recommend you use a hospital grade breast pump – i.e. the S2 or S1.
If you have an Spectra 9 Plus don’t forget to give us your feedback!

Extremely happy with this pump! So portable and the battery last ages! It used to take me 30 minutes to get 100ml with a Tommie tippie pump, now it only takes me 10 minutes to get over 160ml each side!
I would say the only downside is that the bottles are too small and I need to stop pumping and switch bottles but I’ve read that you can attach other bottles so might try and find some bigger bottles to attach!
But overall I am extremely happy with this product!

I love my S9! I have so much confidence that it will work exactly as it’s supposed to when I’m at work. Good battery life, fairly quiet and very effective.

I purchased this pump after leaving hospital with our first born. I found it much quieter than other brands I’d borrowed, easy to use, and loved the backlit screen as a night light. Battery lasts for ages too, and the small size makes it very portable!

This pump is easy to use and doesn’t weigh much. It’s been an excellent tool in building my stash of milk for my return to work. Highly recommend.

Used with both of my pregnancies. Easy and efficient… used to assist with low supply and provide milk for babysitter.

I actually liked the S9 better than the S2. Its portable, mains rechargable, has a better variety of settings and can be set to pump harder if needed. It is a wee bit louder than the S2 but packs a punch. My number 1 recommendation for a double breast pump.

I have used my spectra 9 plus for both of my children and have found it to be a really great pump. I love the way that it can be run on the battery so that I can pump in the car and don’t have to worry about being near a power point at home. It is also small enough to easily pop into my handbag to take to work. The versitality of being able to use it as a double or single pump is another great feature. I can’t recommend this pump enough!

I decided on getting the S9 due to it’s portability and size.
I was a little nervous going from using the Medela Symphony (hospital grade) to the S9 (personal use) but after using my s9 for a couple of weeks now, I have not seen any differences in the mls i was getting from using either pumps.
I must say, i was surprised at how noisy the portable pump was when i first started using it but then again, every breast pump makes some level of noise no matter which one or brand you get.

Hi, I am so impressed with the ease of obtaining this pump and how quiet it is! (It sounded louder in the YouTube videos than it does in real life!) One thing that I found surprising was that this pump seems to be marketed based on it being easily portable and lightweight (which it is!) and easy to fit in your handbag, but it doesn’t come with a carry case… Even a simple material bag would have been helpful and assist users with portability and ensuring the pump/accessories stay clean. That’s my only complaint. Love the product!

Hi Katie, thanks for checking in about this.
All our products are sold suitable for the Australian market, so yes, the power adaptor is an Australian plug. 🙂
