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.
If you have an M1 don’t forget to give us your feedback!

Spectra Team Australia –
Hi Steffi, generally the battery will last around two hours pumping time, but that can vary depending on the settings used, and over how long a period of standby time.
If we can help with anything else, please send us a message and we will be happy to help. 🙂

Question
Kerri –
which glass bottles are compatible with the spectra pumps?

Admin Spectra Team –
Hi Kerri, thanks for your question.
There are a few other brands of plastic bottles that fit Spectra breast shields. These include:
Pumpables
Avent (Natural and Classic)
Mam
Difrax-S wide neck, and
Happy Baby bottles from Coles. (These are slightly tighter, but if you are firm with the bottles when assembling them, they will fit without leaking)
If you prefer glass bottles, we understand that Mam and Minbie glass bottles will fit directly onto your wide neck shields, and Lifefactory bottles will fit with a wide to narrow neck adaptor.
I hope this helps. 🙂

Great customer service and great pump. It’s nice and light for me to take to work and love that it doesn’t require power to pump which makes it even more convenient. Happy to recommend!

Love this pump already. It’s light weight, easy to take to work and getting so much milk that I’m not taking too much time out of my day to pump. So happy I changed to spectra! Would recommend to everyone.

When I got pregnant I had bought another brand pump as it was on special but after less than 3 uses I knee how hopeless it was and that I needed another pump.
I did my research and the Spectra brand was a name that kept coming up and I am so glad that it did.
I ended up deciding on buying the M1, a great sized product which appeared to suit my pumping needs and I am so glad that I did. I bought my pump on a Thursday and the very next day it arrived – super impressed!
I pumped the very same day and was impressed with how easy the pump was to use, the size and how quiet it was!
First pump and I got over 100mls out when I struggled to get half that with my other pump.
I am so in love with this product and the only thing I would like to recommend is a carry case/storage case with the pump either with the product or one you can buy separately as well a better manual with the product as I spent over and hour googling things like how to clean the pump as the instructions did not make sense.
Overall awesome product which I recommend.

Fantastic product. Small and unobtrusive – this pump gets the job done with no discomfort whatsoever. The let down function is one of it’s best features in my opinion. It does make some noise but in comparison to other pumps I’ve used it’s nothing. The instruction manual could use some updating (I think it’s translated from another language and it barely contains and guides to cleaning or assembly) but that’s the only (minor) complaint I have. Spectra’s customer service is fabulous.
