General Comments
The Medela is one of the more affordable electric breast pumps on the market and I have found it useful as someone who expresses occasionally. The pump can be both battery operated and plugged in to the mains, therefore it's portable which is handy if you're spending the night away from home. The pump itself is supposed to mimick the action of the baby, but, lets face it; something plastic and electrical is never going to be a likeness. I do think, however, that it's much more comfortable and quicker than a manual pump, and although it's noisy, overall it's a very efficient product.
