I ordered this pump on a Thursday morning and in just under 24 hours it was delivered to my door. I love this pump , I was using another branded pump and it would take me at least half an hour to get enough milk out to feel comfortable. With the spectra pump I can get the same amount if not more in around a third of the time.
One of the best qualities I love about this pump is it’s super quiet. I also like the fact it has a massage setting to help with the let down and I can use it on the go with the in built battery.
I’m so glad I chose this brand and this pump, everything about it is of great quality.

I bought this pump from a Spectra stockist (Birth Partner). It took ages to get here because of an upgrade, but am so pleased to find it was well worth the wait! I love love love this pump! I consistently get over 100ml every time I double pump for about 10 minutes between feeds during the day. I usually get about 30-50ml after bubs has had a feed on double pump for 10 mins. I don’t notice any difference when pumping from the power point or using the battery, which is fantastic. I’m not sure if the battery is holding power properly because no matter how long I charge it for it seems to drop from full to 75% battery instantly; however, it does stay at 75% for a long time. I don’t have much success with the expression mode, but I might not be waiting long enough for it to work. I let down pretty quickly using it at the setting I need to pump and never adjust. If you like to start at a slower setting, remember to change it to the settings before putting the pump on as the pump remembers your last setting. The pump is also extremely quiet compared to my last pump, which was terrible at extracting milk and noisy! The parts are easy and quick to clean. The backflow filter stops moisture going into the tubing so the tubing stays dry and doesn’t need to be cleaned. The display screen has a timer so you can see how long you have been pumping for, which is useful if you don’t have access to a clock. I haven’t had to use the night light yet, but I have played with it during the day in a darkened room and would be bright enough for someone who needs to pump at night. Customer service is excellent if you have any problems. I’ve contacted them and they are always quick to respond and helpful.

I did lots of research before purchasing a breast pump and was drawn to the S1 because of the rechargeable battery, being hospital grade, double and electric. I had also heard great reviews from mum groups online.
Being a first time mum I found the instruction booklet WAY too brief, however I received a speedy and detailed response from Spectra customer service when I requested more info. I have also been in continual contact with Spectra with my “first time mum” pumping questions, and they’ve always responded respectfully and quickly. There is also plenty of info, tips and hints online in general about pumping so this wasn’t too much of an issue.
I love the look, the night light, the portability, the weight and sound of the machine. I used a Medela Symphony in hospital and found no difference in the amount I could pump or the useability.
My only criticisms:
-There is not a choice of flange sizes AND the spectra can’t easily be adapted to use a flange from another brand, (ie. the flange doesn’t separate from the screw on bottle bit like the medela’s do). The flange it comes with is too small, making it uncomfortable, BUT, I am currently working with Spectra customer service to find a solution, (which is awesome that they’re so willing to help get the best fit and comfort).
-I don’t ever seem to be able to get a full charge on the battery, (when plugged in it always flashes as charging no matter how long it’s been plugged in) and the battery doesn’t last as long as I would like. This might just be an issue with my machine though, and isn’t really a biggie as I just have to remember to plug in to charge after each pump.
Despite this, spectra is definitely my choice of pump and I’m confident working with customer service I will be able to resolve my current issues. I would definitely recommend this pump to anyone looking to buy.

I’ve had my S1 for a few weeks now and I have to say I am quite impressed. When it first arrived unfortunately my first unit didn’t work but the company were excellent to deal with and a replacement unit arrived VERY quickly and with no fuss. Since then I’ve been using it regularly. I particularly like the ability to program both the cycle speed and vacuum strength. It means I have been able to experiment with the settings and find something that works well for me and the unit remembers my settings every time so no need to program each time. The massage function is also programmable for vacuum setting so I can ease into things!
I’ve only just started using the pump during the night and the night light is very useful providing enough light to see what I’m doing but not too bright to hurt my eyes when I’ve just woken up.
The pump is quite enough to still watch IV at the same time and my husband tells me he barely notices it. Tonight I tested the portability a little further and expressed while reading my daughter her bedtime story – still quiet enough to talk normally and enjoy a book and light weight enough to carry around easily! Being able to unplug and run on the battery makes it easy to pick up and move around so I can express in different places around the house without any trouble. It will also make things much easier when I return to work.
The unit is simple to clean and assemble so it doesn’t take long to put together for each express.
I think this unit is at least as good, if not better, than the Medela Symphony I used in hospital. I did compare the DEW 350 and Medela Symphony in hospital and found the DEW better and since coming home I like the S1 even more than my DEW. Very happy with my purchase.

As a first time mum I was determined to exclusively breast feed my baby boy and thought it would come easy…I was wrong! It is hard work and I had a baby who was not gaining enough weight! A girlfriend loaned me her medela freestyle and I had some success with it but I just couldn’t afford or justify the cost of purchasing my own- cue mum forums and Internet searching!
After reading a tonne of reviews on the spectra brand and researching the different models I decided to dive right in and preorder the S1- 3 things appealed: hospital grade, double pump & rechargeable battery. I was not let down by any of those features and others that I have immediately loved: the night light, the whisper quiet sound, closed circuit pump (I spilt precious milk on the open circuit medela), the gentle massage function, easy to read monitor and basic controls. Also, in the same pumping time I get 30-60ml more using the spectra and it is more comfortable due to successful expression on a gentler setting.
I do have to purchase a larger shield for better comfort but that is hardly a negative!
The one improvement I would suggest is more information and instructions in the booklet BUT the customer service and assistance is second to none!
Spectra S1 is value for money! I’m so glad I purchased this rather than spending double on a rival product. This unit is bigger but the design is very sleek, easy to move around with and I am confident it will last through all my future babies!
Oh and since using it & topping up my son, he had gained 850g! Huge success after much frustration, stress and worry!

We first purchased another brand breast pump which was electric and manual. I found to get enough suction I had to use the manual setup all the time and it was so slow. I tried a hospital grade one and it worked so much better but of course I couldn’t afford it.
This is so similar to the hospital grade one but better as it’s smaller, has a night light and a timer. It has enough suction (I use setting 11 out of 12) and is quiet and fast. Try putting it on the couch and no one can hear it! Very easy to use as well.

I am so happy with my Spectra S2 breast pump. It is one of the best purchases I’ve made. After a lot of research I couldn’t believe the price and it’s brilliant! It’s easy to use/clean, lightweight, has a handy night light and is super quiet. I would recommend it to anyone.

I purchased this pump to replace another brand on the market. Very quick delivery and the pump is lighter and easier to transport around than expected. Easy to assemble. Have only used once, so yet to see whether pumping will be as efficient as the alternate brand, however different cycle speeds and suction strengths seem to be a positive.

After doing a lot of research and looking at reviews for the past 8 months, I am really happy that I got this instead of the other ones I had my eye on. With the double pump feature, I can half the expressing time. Compared to the other breast pump, this is much quieter and has more vacuum power. On another note, Spectra Baby has the best customer service! I have contacted them on various concerns, and they have been really responsive! Highly recommended!

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.
