Scores out of 100. Materials & safety and Parents each count 40%, Value 20%.
Must-have Essential if you plan to pump. Skip it if you'll formula feed or nurse exclusively without pumping.
Secondhand: Buy new. Buy new. Most personal pumps are designed for one user; hospital-grade rental pumps are the ones made to be shared.
Typical use: about 12 months.
Tip: Check your insurance first: most US health plans cover a breast pump, often at no cost.
Choose between a double electric pump, which is usually stronger, and a wearable pump, which is more convenient. Compare suction strength, comfort, how many parts need washing and battery life, and check whether your insurance covers a pump.
3 have a safety or materials point to know about, noted in the reviews below.
Testers' best overall pump: powerful, quiet, rechargeable and very adjustable.
Small, quiet and fast, with 5+ hours of battery and a closed system that fits Spectra parts.
A reliable, powerful double pump that comes with a tote and cooler. Fewer settings than Spectra.
Forbes' top wearable: warming flanges, app control, quiet motor, dishwasher-safe parts and a wireless charging case.
A wearable pump with strong suction, built-in warming and a charging case that lasts about a week. Testers report excellent output; it's expensive.
The slimmest, quietest wearable, with auto-switching modes. Output is a bit lower than standard pumps, and it can leak if you lie back.
Just three washable parts, easy to seal, with an auto letdown switch. The shield is firm plastic and there's no app.
Forbes' best-value wearable: nine suction levels, four flange inserts and a full-workday battery. Parts aren't dishwasher safe.
Pumps straight into freezer bags with only two parts to clean, but testers had spills and couldn't see how much milk was collected.
