Description
Spectra are very proud of the M1 portable single electric breast pump. This sturdy little unit has everything needed for reliable pumping on the go. Weighing in at under 300g, Spectra have jam-packed a powerful, strong motor into the pump which will give you plenty of oomph for effective pumping.
What features does the M1 have?
- Letdown mode – switch with a touch to the letdown mode, which is a light, quick mode designed to speed the start of milk flow, just the way a baby does. This may not be an important feature for a new mum, but if you have an older baby or are going back to work, a letdown mode really helps.
- Easy adjustment of cycle speed & suction strength – touch button controls allow you to adjust suction strength and cycle with one touch. As you increase the suction, the speed will slow down (see the S2 Hospital Grade Breast Pump) if you want even more control over cycle program).
- Inbuilt rechargeable battery – yes, we know you love this feature. Use your M1 while plugged into mains, or just use it wherever you like from its inbuilt rechargeable battery.
- Portability – lovely and compact, you will find the M1 easy to transport and store.
- Closed system – like all Spectra breast pumps, the M1 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.
- Ability to Use as a Double Pump – just add a second shield set and some bottles to your order.
What are the negatives?
- Doesn’t provide as much flexibility over the pump program as the S2 (but still more than other pumps).
- Is noiser than the S2 and Dew models (but not as noisy as other pumps – we do try our best to keep the noise down!).
- 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 Dew 350.

I am very happy with my Spectra M1 pump. It arrived the day after I ordered it and was very easy to set up and use. Ellen from Spectra has been extremely helpful with all my questions prior to purchase.
The pump is light and small enough to easily pack into the nappy bag. For me the shield funnel is a bit big but I’m going to get the silicone inserts which should help with that.
I also have a hired Medela pump which works for me but it is expensive and not portable and as I’m exclusively expressing I need a portable option. I am very happy with the M1, and now have to decide which hospital grade Spectra pump to purchase as well.
The feel of the M1 pump is unusual, instead of the basic “pulling” motion of the Medela pumps, the M1 pump vibrates and so the feel you get when pumping is a kind of vibrating tickling feeling. A bit unusual but not unpleasant, hard to explain but almost like it massages out the milk instead of just drawing it out.
All in all I am very happy with this pump and would highly recommend it and Spectra!

Being a first time mum, I was confused as to which breast pump I should buy. I received lots of reviews from friends and colleagues. Spectra was definitely not a brand that was talked a lot about. Medela pumps were highly talked about.
I did my own research online and read couple of comments from people who had used both brands before and many recommended Spectra. I was quite hesitant regarding the M1 as it is a brand new product and there were hardly any reviews on it.
The M1 was almost half the price as compared to a Medela double pump. I decided to take a chance and bought the M1. I have been using it for a month now, and have been expressing a couple of times a day as a top up for my boy. I have not regretted my decision at all. When I was in hospital I used the Medela hospital grade pumps available and I didn’t really like them. I was not getting much from those pumps.
I came home and started using my M1 and found that I was getting more from the M1 as I expressed. The M1 is really easy to use. It is portable and has batteries in it. The only thing I would suggest is maybe a carrier for the pump.
I would definitely recommend Spectra to anyone as it does a really good job and is so worth the price you pay for it.

Spectra M1 (Compared with Medela Freestyle)
Pros: very smooth and gentle pump. Only needed to use setting 2 of 5. Nipples not sore or discoloured afterwards. No tugging sensation during pump (weird vibrating tickly sensation instead). In 20 minute session output was slightly up but not outside normal ranges however significantly less massage required. Flanges fit with medela bottles
Con’s: no timer on the unit (but I knew this in advance) , flanges and membrane unit are one piece, instruction manual fails pretty hard at English, massage mode just plain odd.
Verdict: At this price the M1 is considerably cheaper than the Freestyle (500AUD) and is only really missing the timer (easily fixed with an app on my phone). The pumping session was smooth and pain free with a good yield. Overall all its an impressive unit and a good alternative on a lower budget.

I have just had a baby with a tongue-tie so establishing breastfeeding has been very problematic and I’m having to express round the clock. I initially hired a Medela Symphony while I waited for my M1 to arrive and I was able to compare the two. I got a similar yield from both and found the tubing was less annoying on the M1.
I am now using my M1 to double pump every 2-3 hours and it has been strong and reliable. It is very portable and it’s useful that I can unplug it and carry it with me if I need to jump up and do something while pumping (I’m using it with a pumping bra so my hands are free). The pump is pretty quiet and I like that I can easily see the display and reach the buttons on the top of the unit. It would be nice if it came with a carry bag since it’s meant to be portable and the instruction booklet is terrible – fortunately I was able to work out how to put it all together even in a very sleep-deprived state. My only other gripe is that the bottles that came with it are very easy to knock over when you finish, spilling your precious expressed milk. However, the breastshields do also fit onto other bottle types.
Overall, I am very pleased with my M1 and think it’s excellent value for money. I’ll be recommending it to my pregnant friends.

I absolutely love my M1! At 1 point i was using the Medela Symphony and I feel this does just as good a job as that hospital grade pump and it is so much cheaper and lighter! I love how easy it is and how quick it gets the job done! I have been using it for about a month and overall i am very pleased with it.

I hired a hospital grade pump after bringing our son home from hospital as iI was still expressing most of his feeds. After we got breastfeeding established I still wanted a reliable pump, but wanted to return the expensive hire pump. I did some research and decided to give the Spectra M1 a try,. I was nervous trying a new product without reviews, but was encouraged by the positive reviews of other Spectra products. I have been really pleased with the M1. It is so compact, but still feels quite powerful in single or double mode. It’s also easier to use than the hospital grade pump As i don’t have to worrry about cords, or positioning a large machine. I’m pumping about once a day, but if required the M1 could easily be used more frequently. I’m pleased with the volume I,can express in a short time, especially running on battery power.

Love this pump already and only used it twice so far!! I bought a cheap one at first i knew i would regret it should of just bought this one it is great! compared to other one evenflo so much quieter i mean like nearly non existence i dont have to worry about waking my baby up to pump any more so less anxious now which will only help while pumping and other pump was kinda hurting a little bit but this one no!! and the breast shields are smaller which is great other one was huge it seems now! I would recommend to anyone great as double pumping and single pumping to let down mode works and so simple to set up and clean great that it is portable and built in rechargeable battery so i can take it anywhere and not have to worry about a power point! Love it love it!! I fyour ummimg and ahhing like i was over so many different ones and this one DON’T just get this one.

The M1 is a pretty good pump I upgraded from an Avnet $200 single pump nothing wrong just wanted the double function and was considering the medulla like everyone else lol. I was impressed the noise was pretty quiet but a different sounding pump to my avent (which sounds motory) I probably personally have no use for let down function but see how it could be good for others. I cut a bit of the tube and made it a doubke but I did find the power diminished in suction…when I put it up to one it was very high indeed! Much higher than the avent. I like the dials being able to show you where you are on level wise. When you turn it off it sticks with what you used. I’d give it a 7.5/10 I’d probably go hospital grade rechargeable if possible but spectra aren’t selling it yet but if I was after one single pump definitely agree! In saying that one pump at a time didn’t take much longer I had 135ml in about 10mins so well see..I’m going to upgrade another pump from u guys the big boy! Because I want to! And keep this baby at work! My avent I’d say 6/10 so definitely worth what I paid!

Received our M1 and could not wait to try it straight away. Its just awesome and already love it. After using a Medela one for over a year, i cant believe that i waited this long to buy a Spectra one. Its so much better and less noisier. It will make it so much better at work and much quicker too as i will be able to double pump. Also no one batteries to buy. Bye bye Meldela and Welcome Spectra M1 🙂 Yay very excited about my new M1. Its just awesome 🙂 Love love love it!!!!

The M1 is fantastic! One small, compact rechargeable unit with fully adjustable massage and letdown modes. It works better than the Avent electric breast pump I used with my daughter and I am equally happy using my M1 as I am using my S2.
Again.. it would be nice to have a little extra length in the tubing and to have a convenient carry case to protect the pump and for ease of transporting. Anyone looking for an affordable, quality breast pump that gives you the flexibility and ease of having portability either in or outside of the home could not go wrong!
