![]() Overall - I do like the product for the convenience. ****** size is best measured after you start lactating. So my biggest advice for fellow mums is try a spectra first, know your ****** size before buying. Again, buying any ****** size outside the 24mm comes at an extra cost per ****** plus shipping costs. There is no option to select ****** size when buying the pump. The biggest concern was the ****** sizing. It can get annoying when you have to reconnect the tubes whilst pumping and the suction breaks off.ħ. I wasn’t sure if it was just for me, but when I checked with friends who owned S1+ they had the same issue too. However when the replacement backflow protector came through, the tube kept falling off whilst pumping. With my original backflow protector, the tube stayed in place for a long time. The tube connection to the backflow protector is a bit of a hit and a miss sometimes. The light is a good feature but I realised using the night light reduces battery life considerably.Ħ. Making it a very expensive deal altogether.ĥ. To give a perspective, I paid $380 for pump and over an 8 month period I have paid over $150 for parts and shipping. As for the charges, every parts comes as a single piece (except for the duck valve if I remember right) so if you end up wanting another part you have to do the wait game and charges all over again. So in 3 instances of buying parts, my supply went down considerably. I had to wait 5-6 business days (1.5 weeks) for one valve to arrive without which I couldn’t pump. The delivery time and postage charges for parts is quite high. The tubes also had milk at one point so I had to replace it.Ĥ. Next time I bought one, I cleaned the protector every day, but dint wash it so often, but this time around it developed mould (or something black which I’m assuming is mould) in the connecting parts so I had to replace it anyway.ģ. The first time I did it once every 5 days, and the silicone lost its elasticity making it very loose. The backflow protector collects water/milk and needs to be cleaned and sterilised too. ![]() Cleaning needs to be done very carefully.Ģ. I had to replace the duck valve twice because the material tore through the middle causing milk to spray out of the valve into the bottle. The quality of parts (not the pump itself) is not great. (I do understand that this could be just an issue I have faced or a common concern, but like I said this is my honest review to help a fellow parent help with the purchase)ġ. I like the pump, but have both positives and negatives to mention. I have used the Spectra S1+ for over 8 months now. ![]()
