Medela® Swing Maxi™ Double Electric Breast Pump in White

I have replaced this pump 3 times due to low suction and poor battery life. 1. First pump: Milk got trapped in the shields and would not fall until tubes were disconnected 2. Second pump: Pump would turn on but no suction at all, pump would just click but no action. This occurred after 10 pumping sessions 3. Third Pump: No suction again after 10 minutes, Strong suction only if I disconnect tubbing and try connecting. Fails suction after 2 minutes. I have been having clogged ducts due to this occurring constantly. Very frustrating as an exclusive pumper to have a pump that does not work and cannot get another pump covered by insurance.

Overall I’ve been happy with this pump but after 4 months of use the pump does not hold a charge. The last few times I’ve used it’s turned red and turned off even though the app says it’s 100% charged. Very frustrating as the main benefit of this pump is that I’m not tied to a wall.

I received this pump as a baby shower gift in March 2022. I have been using it since April 2022 and it was great for 5 months. However, this last month the battery would only old 1 pump (compared to their stated 6 pumping session on 1 full charge). In the last week the pump won't hold a charge at all. I need to have it plugged in charging in order for it to work. For such an expensive pump it's quite disappointing.

I really enjoyed this when i first got it. It’s super easy to use and portable. Made pumping in the middle of the night really easy. But after a few months of use, the suction has become nearly non existent, even when i turn it to the highest level. Bummed that i might need to buy a different pump to continue pumping for my baby.

While the swing maxi is nice and portable, I am very disappointed with its longevity and durability. My pump is only 6 months old and I have had issues on and off with the pump not having suction and now for the past week it no longer holds a charge and has no suction.

I bought this pump in March and I loved it but the battery has started to die after just one pumping session and even when I charge it overnight the battery still won’t be fully charged and flashes red. It’s a good pump but the battery doesn’t last.

Lasted 3.5 months and now wont hold a charge. It works, I just have to be close to an outlet to be plugged it... which kind of defeats the purpose. Other than that the pump worked great for 3 months!
