Economy Personal Electric Breast Pumps
about $75-$150
Sponsored Links
Except where otherwise noted, these breast
pumps are all electric with AC adapter included. They are intended to be
single user.* Some are double pumping* and some are single pumping only.
The Avent Isis IQ Uno qualifies for this category as an
alternative to the pricier Avent Isis IQ Duo. It is highly recommended
that you read reviews (Where Can I Read Breast Pump Reviews?) of these
pumps, because satisfaction with them is a little less universal than
with the top quality electric breast pumps. Some users find the lower
cycling speeds on some of these pumps uncomfortable. These breast pumps will
typically receive 3 or 4 stars out of a 5 star rating by breast pump reviewers.
