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

After months of using a Medela Symphony and not loving my results, I came across Spectra S1 and I can say that I’m not looking back. Really would recommend to any mother wishing to pump.

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.

Definitely recommend this pump. Hospital grade which maximize the supply. Just recommended to my friend who used medela before, she is now so happy with this pump as the supply has increased dramatically. Quiet and easy to use at night, though bit big in size but not an issue.

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!

After reading so many reviews from all over the US, Australia and NZ this product definitely sounds like the crowd favourite and I knew that I had to get my hands on it! I’ve still got sbout 10 weeks till my little princess is due but I couldn’t resist the birthday sale! Unit looks great and powerful, I can’t wait to use it!

Great pump. Way better then the Medela that I used at the hospital.
Also excellent customer service and very quick responses to all of my questions.
Thank you 10/10

I’ve been using the spectra s1 for a month now. Its picked up my milk supply. I love how quiet it is compared to other pumps i have used. Its very easy to put together and use. It’s very comfortable to use. the night light is very handy for those midnight pumping sessions.highly recommend the Spectra pumps! certainly the best for your buck.

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!

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.

Quiet, strong and reliable. What more could you want? Oh yeah, a light! Great product. Thank you

Firstly the customer service is excellent, very prompt with getting back to you with any questions or concerns. I researched many pumps and had another brand and when I got my spectra was extremely happy with it! Double pumping feature makes it quick and efficient specially when exclusively pumping. Would definately recommend this pump!!

This pump has been a life changer abd enabled me to reach 9 months (and counting) of exclusive pumping. It’s so portable and lightweight. Prior to buying the S1 I was renting a bulky hospital grade pump and the spectra has outdone it in every regard, most importantly in boosting my supply.
Would, and often do, highly recommend.

Love love love my spectra s1! So much gentler but with the same if not better suction… I wasted over $500 hiring a medela symphony which in the end I wasn’t able to pump anything and thought my milk was finished only to buy this pump and get 110mls!! Cannot reccomend it enough it’s so much better then the medela symphony also quieter and much more portable can’t believe I didn’t buy it sooner

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

After lots of research I chose the spectra S1. I needed a reliable pump to help build my supply, in a week i was pumping an extra 60ml and my bub was satisfied. Also love the portability!

I did a lot of research to find the perfect pump and I’m very happy with my purchase. It’s super quiet, very efficient and I love that it’s a closed system. The customer service so far has been amazing!

This is my second baby and I knew the spectra s1 was for me as other second time mothers have all recommended this brand after trying all the competitors.

I bought the S1 after speaking to a friend who has one and exclusively expresses. What an amazing product. Not only is it easy to use, it is practical, portable and cute! I love that it has a rechargeable battery. I’m so pleased that I have one and would certainly recommend the S1.

I brought the spectra S1 last week after hearing such great feedback about it and have been nothing but very happy with it, it’s an incredible pump and also so quite 🙂 also very portable being ran on batteries which I find very handy as it enables me to pump wherever I need to 🙂 also the staff have been incredible help to me in giving me advise and information to get the best out of the pump. Would highly recommend the S1. Best pump.

I bought the S1 after reading so many excellent reviews and I am so pleased I did. With my first born I used a single pump from another well known brand and had trouble getting more than 10ml in 40min. With this pump I get 100ml in 10min. I love the rechargeable battery option giving the flexibility to use it wherever you like, I even pumped in the car on a long trip the other day (I was the passenger!).

The customer service is second to none. The team respond to any questions promptly and are super helpful with their replies.

Would highly recommend pump to anyone.

Other than the fact that the Spectra IS MOST DEFINITELY a hospital grade pump at a fraction of the cost, the customer service and support has been phenomenal.

My daughter was born 6 weeks prem and began her stay in the SCN.
After having an extremely rough time establishing and maintaining a milk supply with my 1st child when I owned both a Medela swing and a Medela Freestyle, I was extremely anxious that my milk supply would not cut the requirement of my new born especially being that she was prem – and in my opinion needed the nutrients and immunity support of breast milk so much more than a full term baby,
The Meldela symphony pumps in the mummies feeding rooms at the SCN in the hospital worked great, but I looked into purchasing it and not only did I find I couldn’t purchase it in Australia, but even if I could it would be in excess of $4000. What a joke. I did end up finding out I could hire it at around $100-$140 per month from a pharmacy. Being that I had no choice and building my milk supply from the beginning was the most important task post birth that I had – I hired the Medela symphony from the chemist and felt dismal about the fact that I was spending HUGE money on something I could never own.
I started to google hospital grade pumps to see what else was out there and there came across the Spectra. Then the next day I spoke to the lactation consultant at the hospital whilst bringing in milk at the SCN, I told her my pump sadness and she mentioned the Spectra. A few hours later as I sat in the mummie’s feeding room at the SCN pumping on the hospital Medela Symphony along with 3 other mums all pumping milk at the same time we all had a discussion about pumps and 2 of the other mums had also heard great things about the Spectra,…. After 3 mentions in a 24 hour period – I decided to contact Spectra to find out how I could try one out.
Bron from the Spectra support team – WHAT AN AMAZING CUSTOMER SUPPORT ADVISOR!!! She answered all my questions and pointed me in the right directions on where I could hire the pump to try it out. (Sweet Beats) She sent me tips and hints and ensuring the most efficient use, and sent me through a quick version manual which they had put together themselves for customers to refer to – which eliminated the need to go through the full manual.
So the next day – I hired the S2 pump which I tried side by side with the Medela Symphony – and I was amazed. Not only did the S2 pump extract all my milk faster on the side which is normally stubborn and requires extra massaging to come out, but it felt more comfortable and not so painful on the highest settings as did the Symphony. After a week of continuing the use of both pumps to be sure I was happy – I hands down picked the Spectra over the Medela.
I was extremely happy to return the hire Medela symphony hire pump and go ahead with the purchase of the Spectra, I bought the S1 which is the rechargeable and portable version of the s2 – and I am thrilled with it. I have already taken it in the car with me twice in the last week – what an efficient use of time to pump in the car!!!
Thank-you Spectra from the bottom of my heart – this has made something which I assumed would be most stressful into something I am proud of. Not only has my milk supply been increasing with use of this pump – but I now in 4 weeks of my daughters life have been able to more than fulfill her milk requirements with no formula and i have in abundance of 7 liters frozen in the freezer! Daily milk supply is approx 950mls vs my first child’s daily milk supply of 480 (at its best)

My daughter has now been discharged from SCN and thriving at home and I am one very happy, breast feeding and milk pumping mummy!

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 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 have had the spectra for three days now, after using a hospital grade pump from the pharmacy. Amazingly, I am expressing the milk from the spectra just as quickly as the medela, and it is 1/10th of the price! I’m also loving that I can take the pump anywhere, and it is soooo light. I highly recommend it for anyone that is wanting to express on a regular basis (I’m using it twice daily to give my baby top ups after breastfeeding to stretch her a bit longer with feeds, and to have spare milk if we’re out for a coffee as I find it difficult to feed unless we’re on a couch!). You can tell that the parts are not quite as solidly made as other brands, but they are cheap to replace if needed, and my friend who has been using it for months daily has not needed to replace anything which is a good sign in my opinion!

Totalky glad with my purchase of Spectra S1. Exclusive expressing and feeding mom so not sure what life would have been without a double pump. Have recommended S1 to many friends and still would . Its portable and quite easy to use. And the customer service is quite remarkable as well. Had an issue with my pump unfortunately and had dropped an email. Eas suprised and relieved to have a call back in 10 min. Also not only was my pump taken for repair I also received my replacement pump in a day. S1 also boosted my supply .totally in love with the product and would highly recommend this one to all

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.

The pump arrived so quickly.
It weighs less than I expected. Super easy to use and very quiet. This is what I should have purchased last time with a baby who wouldn’t latch!
I would highly recommend the S1.

I’m so happy with the S1 pump. Compared to other pumps, it’s very quiet and efficient!! The double pump feature is awesome and definitely save me a lot of time!

I’m also happy with the customer service, it’s very prompt and helpful, the purchase is absolutely with no friction at all!

I strongly recommend it to anyone who is still researching, this is the one you’re looking for!

I bought The Spectra 9+ when Bub was 10days old at the advice of the maternal health nurse to express in order to top up my milk supply.
The Spectra 9+ was recommended by a friend and it was my husband that ordered it on-line. It was very easy to do and arrived within 24hrs which was amazing!
The Spectra 9+ is perfect for me- it’s surprisingly very quick to express and the battery stays charged ( I am yet to require to charge again yet)
I have very happy with this product and brand!!

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 purchased the S1 after careful consideration. I’d previously hired expensive Medela hospital grade pumps but wanted to own mine and the price is incredibly good for the quality of this product. Shipping was very fast and communication (via email) was so quick. Very happy with the purchase.

I bought the S1 pump after hearing rave reviews from the midwives and second time mums already using it when I was in hospital. Delivery was super fast and customer service was excellent. My twin boys are still in the NICU, and I’m making so much milk I’ve had to start storing it at home. Highly recommended!

I love, love, love the S1 pump. I have ben using it now for 2 months and so glad I purchased it. I used the Medela symphony with my first baby which was great but cost a fortune to hire for an extended time. The S1 has been brilliant. Lighter, smaller, rechargeable and cheaper. I wished I knew about the spectra range with my first baby.

Very good and handy product ,started pumping since discharging from the hospital, better than the one we used in the hospital. The timer and nightlight are really handy! Also the rechargeable battery makes the life so much easier.

Love love love my spectra! By far the best pump. So much more milk and so much faster than all the others. I will never buy anything else & will reccomend to all my friends. Love that the S1 is portable I can pump anywhere!

I was using 2 of the single Avent Comfort electric pumps at the same time as a double pump. While they were portable (run by my AA batteries) and i was able to pump a decent amount, they were noisy and troublesome to carry around as they didn’t have handles and I keep having to change batteries. Also after using them for a month, I noticed they were losing suctions.
I have been using the spectra for about a month now. I have no regrets investing in this portable hospital pump! Quite, good suctions that don’t hurt, easy to set up, easy to carry around with great battery life! I love the portability of it, I pump while I drive which saves lots of time and we can stay out much longer and go to different places. I pump in different rooms at home with ease.

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.

A friend recommended this pump to me during pregnancy as she had wasted money on a few pumps before this one. I am so glad I bought this one from the beginning – it has never let me down! It’s comfortable, quiet and the battery lasts for ages!

Its a shame you cannot get the pump sets for the spectra pumps. Not sure what the point is of having the pump is when the pump sets are out of stock for 3 months

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.

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.
