Spectra S1+ Hospital Grade Double Electric Breast Pump with inbuilt rechargeable battery

First off the customer service from Spectra is fantastic. I had many questions prior to ordering the pump and all of my emails were answered very quickly and professionally. The pump itself is fantastic. I have never been a good pumper, with my old pump I would sometimes take up to 15 mins to get a let down, after that I would have to continually do breast compressions (massage) to keep a small flow going. It would take me between 20-30 mins of double pumping to get about 30 mls of milk (that’s 15 mls per breast) after a feed. My baby is now 9 months old and I haven’t pumped in many months, mostly due to the fact that it was such hard work to get such a small amount of milk and would take several days to get enough milk to fill a bottle. My pump is also very noisy and I just didn’t like it. After receiving the pump very quickly after I ordered it, I sterilized all parts that needed it and then gave it a try after a feed. I managed to a get let down within a few minutes (just had to figure out what I was comfortable with and what my body responded to) and had a continual flow of milk without the need for breast compressions. I only had the suction at a 3 most of the time and with a few gentle compressions during pumping the milk flow was so much faster than I have ever seen with a pump. After 10 mins I had pumped a total of 50 mls of milk. I am returning to work when my baby is 12 months old, and I plan to keep breastfeeding past 12 months. My daughter also has a soy and dairy intolerance, plus several allergies so cannot have regular milk or formula. I was worried that my supply would drop and that I wouldn’t be able to continue to provide enough milk for her once I returned to work. After working very hard to build up my supply in the beginning, that was also slow to come in. I did not want to risk my supply dropping. Now that I have this new pump I am very confident that I will be able to keep up with my daughters needs and continue to breastfeed her for as long as we are both comfortable with. Thank you Spectra, for providing such a fantastic pump at an affordable price, I will definitely be telling anyone I know that needs a pump, about Spectra breast pumps and recommending they buy one over any other of the more popular brands.

LOVE this pump. Ive had friends who have had so much trouble and time wasted trying to pump with other brands including medela but honestly 10 minutes with Spectra just one time every day is all Ive needed to get a good stash of milk for the freezer for my baby. I get about 100 ml in 5 minutes. I bought the double electric but I now only pump one side so I can eat my breakfast and play with my baby with my other hand and it works a treat for me! Theres 10 strength settings but I only need to put it on level 2 or 3 (10 being the highest) to get the milk flowing. I pump straight into another brand bags and pop them straight into the freezer. I’m really happy and would recommend the Spectra pump to very new mum. I like just whacking the plastic bits in the dishwasher for use the next day too.

Great pump that can be tailored to suit every mum and super fast delivery! Was delivered the very next morning. Importantly great customer service – fast response from spectra-baby with detailed and honest answers. Very quiet also.

100% recommend this pump. It is powerful, quiet, portable and convenient – everything you could want in a pump! Was a saviour when my bub was in hospital and i had to pump to keep my supply. I love that it doesn’t need to be plugged in to use it, and the nightlight is very handy for those nighttime pumps.

My son was born premature at 32 weeks gestation and was too young to suckle, so the hospital advised me to get a hospital grade breast pump for expressing and building up my milk supply. I was recommended the Spectra by a work colleague and was convinced by the excellent reviews online.

Firstly, I found the customer service to be outstanding, with next day delivery for orders placed before 1pm and speedy responses to any questions or concerns. Excellent, first class service.

In terms of the pump ease of use, it is extremely easy to set up and operate. The backflow protectors work really well and the tubing stays dry and strong suction is maintained. It is lightweight and compact, but i haven’t yet ventured anywhere outside the house with it, it certainly can’t be transported in a handbag etc. Also, it would be nice to have a hands free bra associated with this product for more convenient double pumping, though the staff were very helpful in recommending available options.
For my premmie baby, I think the bottles are too big and I will need to buy narrow neck bottles with the adapter when baby is ready to start bottle feeds.

From an effectiveness perspective, I find i can express equivalent if not slightly more amounts in each sitting when compared to the Medela which is used in the hospital I was at. My main criticism would be that the pump turns on in full suction mode instead of the more gentle let down mode, and it stays at whatever setting you switched it off at. This can often be quite an abrupt and painful start and i’ve had to learn to turn down both settings to level 1 before switching pump off so that I’m not jumping in pain at the start of each feed.

Overall though, I am pleased with my purchase and the pump is cost effective and is helping build up my milk supply. The customer service is a definite bonus and I would recommend this pump to others.

Was using the Medela Symphony, purchased the S1 and in in love.
Great machine, so portable and having the battery it’s effortless to pump.
Wish I used this machine from the start

Haven’t used the pump yet, bub’s not due for another couple months, however could not resist the birthday sale. I’ve been doing the research and this pump comes highly recommended both from online reviews and friends. Can’t wait to use it when the time comes. Delivery was fast and easy and item was perfectly packaged. Thanks!

Absolutely love this pump. Highly recommend it, more than 100% happy with it. Super quick delivery too! After trying two other pumps prior to purchasing my Spectra S1, I will never look back. The customer service is absolutely fantastic and very helpful with tips on boosting my milk supply. My emails and messages were responded to extremely quickly, even over the weekend!

I’m an exclusively pumping mum and this pump has made pumping so much more enjoyable. It’s comfortable, quiet and efficient in emptying my breasts. Ticks all my boxes! Also the customer service is excellent! Love the support and prompt responses from the spectra team! Good work!

The pump is amazing! i exclusively expressed because of this pump for 10 whole pumps managing to feed my son for 14 months! highly recommended and ill tell anyone that listens, spectra is best!

I LOVE my S1. It is such a great pump! It’s gentle, quick, and quiet. I like that it comes with a rechargeable battery, I don’t feel as if I’m attached to the wall. When I used to pump I would for 30-45 minutes just to get a decent amount of milk. I’ve never pumped for more than 20 minutes with my Spectra. I’ve had it for less than a week and have 800 ml for my stash and this is after feeding my daughter. I only pump about 3 time a day now rather than after every feed. I highly recommend this S1 and the customer service is amazing!

So happy with this purchase! I pump 6-7 times a day so convenience and comfort are of utmost importance to me. This pump is so much more effective than the old Medela Symphony I was using, even though they are both hospital-grade. I get heaps more milk. I’m so glad I got the S1 as it is so compact and portable. Not only is it so easy to pick up and take upstairs/downstairs at home, but I have also been able to pump while in the car. I also love the night light and timer. My only criticism would be that I wish the cycle would automatically change from let down mode after 90 sec, as I sometimes forget to change it manually.

I couldn’t be happier with my S1 breast pump. I purchased the pump in preparation for when I return to work and I feel so relieved knowing this is certainly one aspect that I will not need to stress about.
I was also really happy with the customer service I received, as I incorrectly ordered the wrong breast shield size. They refunded the item so I could place my order again. Very friendly, helpful and prompt customer service.
I would highly recommend this pump to all friends and family!

I decided to give this pump a go after receiving recommendations from friends and reading through the really good reviews on the website. It’s super quiet indeed, and I love the fact that I can customise the vacuum and cycle settings according to my own needs. The Spectra team has also been really good with their customer service. Any messages/questions I sent via Facebook were responded to within a couple of hours. I would highly recommend the S1!

I purchased this pump just a few weeks ago, and so far I can not fault it! I love that this pump has the let down mode along with being able to control your suction. The Delivery was so quick, and the Spectra team have been so wonderful and have responded and helped me with any inquires i had about the pump. overall I would highly recommend the S1 to any mum.

I did a lot of research before choosing the spectra pump. Customer service has been great, love the chat feature.

Great value for money! I used to hire a Medela Symphony for $25/week, and I wish I had known about Spectra before. I get the same yield, but on top of saving money on the long run, I love the fact that the S1 is way less bulky and heavy, and has an in-built battery. The night light and the fact that both vacuum and speed can be fine tuned are great ideas. I am very happy with it.

I bought the S1 pump after recommendations and I love it! It is much quieter and has a much more powerful suction than my previous pump. And there are fewer parts to wash! I’m very happy with my purchase – thank you Spectra!

I’ve been really happy with the Spectra S1 pump. The fact this pump has a rechargeable battery is fantastic, really helps with a newborn when you’re constantly needing to get up and down and move around the house multi-tasking. I also love the fact the shield is compatible with other bottles. I use Pigeon wide neck bottles and whilst the kit isn’t completely compatible it still works and saves me having to use 2 different bottles at every feed. The customer support for this product has been brilliant, can’t fault the quick service and even with the product originally on backorder the communication from the Spectra team was great. Very happy with this pump and would certainly recommend it to other new mums.

I bought the S1 two weeks ago after many recommendations from other multiple mums. Having newborn twins to feed, this double pump has saved me time as I can now pump in bed in the middle of the night without having to connect to a power source, and it’s relatively quiet. Prior to purchasing the S1 I was hiring another hospital grade pump for $125 a month. The S1 will pay itself off in no time!! As another review mentioned, the parts are not as high quality as some of the more expensive brands, but customer service has been great, and with a 2 year warranty, I am not concerned.

I love this pump so much. Wouldn’t get anything else. Battery lasts so long and gets 10x more milk out than any other pump. 100% worth every penny. After struggling to feed my first, i no longer have to worry about low supply issues. This pump boosted my supply so much. So happy with it.

I love this pump! It is so much better than the other one i used. i get the let down quicker with the massage function and save a lot of time. I used to take 30 mins expressing, now it only took me 10 mins. :):)

I have been holding out for my S1. Even before I knew I was pregnant with my second child, I knew I wanted this pump.
I was exclusively expressing with my first child with only single electric of the other big named brand. I didn’t realise I would be expressing exclusively and thought the single would do. How much easier my life would have been had I had the S1 then!!
I didn’t realise the importance of having a closed system then either and many times the milk flowed up through the tubing. No change of that happening with the S1.
It’s also so much quieter!
Customer service is absolutely fantastic as well.
Thanks Spectra!!!!

I love this pump it is so much better than my dinky Miome. I have not tried it as a double pump but I will soon.

Fast delivery, quality pump! A lot better than the other well known brand. Was thinking to get a 9 plus because it’s a lot smaller and easier to carry around.

At around 5 weeks old my baby started having attachment problems and instead of completely giving up breastfeeding thought I would express instead. It’s been great takes me around 5 minutes to get 120ml. Very easy to use and the battery lasts a long time. I highly recommend this machine.

Great, quick reply from the Spectra team wheni emailed for advice. Delivery was incredibly quick of the S1 – so a very happy customer so far.

I have been using this pump since I arrived from the hospital and it is working perfectly, so far so good. The built in lights are really handy during night time and the portability is just so convenient. Its also not as noisy as i thought it would be, i can pump while bub is sleeping nearby.

I highly recommend this pump to anyone who asks me.

very fast delivery and reliable.

After many issues breastfeeding my son I’ve had to make the decision to exclusively pump for him. I ummed and ahhed for weeks over which pump to buy and can’t count how many times I messaged the spectra team to ask another question. They were so helpful, incredibly prompt with replies and always happy provide extra information. I ended up buying the S1 for its versatility with the inbuilt battery and am so glad I did. I love the unique vibration feature of this pump that others dont have and find I get more output than any of the other brands ive used (and I’ve tried almost all!!). Definitely recommend spectra not only as a brilliant company but the S1 has been amazing to my pumping journey! Thanks spectra for all your help 🙂

Fantastic product. After using the Medela Swing in hospital and at home for the first 2 weeks, which wasn’t expressing much at all, the Spectra S1 Breast Pump proved to be quite the opposite, with my supply increasing significantly by the end of the first day of pumping with the Spectra. The portability aspect was fantastic as it meant I could express in the baby room, my room or the lounge room. Efficient delivery and service from customer support which was also helpful. Highly recommend it.

I chose this SI model after a lot of web researching and feedbacks from my friends. It’s a really good choice as double pump saves time also has more vacuum power.

Prior to using Spectra S1 I was using another pump and had mastitus every second week! It was very frustrating and stressful and S1 helped me to resolve this. I’ve been using the S1 for 3 months now and I haven’t had an episode of mastitis. Yay!

I also love having it at work as it makes my life much more easier to express at work. It’s easy to carry around, noise-wise is minimal, and I don’t need to look for a power point to use it.

Customer service is tops. I’ve contacted the team 3 times and each time they always responded in timely manner and provided very helpful info to assist with my enquiries.

Overall, a great pump, totally recommend it to others, especially mothers who are thinking about expressing at work.

I recently purchased a Spectra S1 & love it. I’m finding that I get twice as much as my other pump from a different company. Its so comfortable, quite & convenient compared to others I have used. I’m so glad I purchased this item.

I am quite happy with this pump. It is far more efficient than my medela swing. I love how light weight the pump it and how the suction and cycles are easily modified. The nightlight is very useful. The rechargeable battery gives you the freedom to pump anywhere and no need a powerpoint.
Somethings could be improved though.
When you turn the pump on it starts in pumping mode and has to be changed to let down mode. This seems completely back to front. It would be far better if the pump started in the let down mode.
The pump is quite chunky and although it is portable it isnt very practical.
The cup holder/ bottle holder at the back of the pump does not hold the bottle stable. Perhaps this could be removed to make the pump smaller?
The bottles themselves are not very stable when the flange is attached and can tip over.

Very easy to use compared to other pumps. Great to have a transportable pump amd not worry about a cord. Highly recommended!

I can’t recommend this pump enough. I originally hired a pump from the hospital but quickly swapped to the S1 after a friend recommended. I’m so glad I spent the extra dollars on the cordless model. It’s so easy to use and I am now able to express more.

Nice pump, great suction 😀 easy to use and clean.

I bought this pump based on multiple positive reviews and am happy with the product. The battery lasts for ages (over a week pumping up to 5 times a day) and night light is great.
The only things I would add would be a lit LED screen and that the night light didn’t automatically turn off when you turn the pump off. These are minor things and don’t effect the pumps ability to do what it’s designed to do: get the milk out!

Have tried many brands, have to say this is definitely the best pump– best performance with very reasonable price. Very good value for money. Hospital grade, has small lamp easy to use at nights.

This pump has been so good for helping me up my supply and get breast milk for my twins.

Easy to use? Love that it’s portable so I can take it to work and use in different rooms without being stuck to a power point. I’ve even pumped in the car a few times.

Highly recommend.

I was recommended the S1 by friends who have been using the Spectra pumps for 2 years. I was not disappointed. The unit is compact and user friendly. We had a power outage yesterday and it did not affect my pumping due to the handy battery function. I am already recommending to other new mums.
