Editorial Review
The Avent Isis breast pump is a great portable system. This manual pump provides a comfortable and efficient way to pump without the need for a larger, battery-run breast pump. The disposable silicone "let-down" cushion has five petal-shaped massagers that flex in and out to imitate your baby's suckling. It's comfortable because you control the speed and pressure. This pump is easy to take apart and clean and comes with a stand, travel cover, sealing disc, spare diaphragm, and two valves. It also has a newborn nipple so you can use the 4-ounce bottle to feed your baby. --Andrea Linsky

Customer Reviews

Very disappointed...going back to Medela
I tried the Avent manual pump after my Medela finally wore out from much use over the last several months. There is no comparison, as far as I'm concerned. The Medela Harmony pump has very few parts, so it's VERY easy to clean and a breeze to put together, and I expressed more milk with Medela as well. The Avent pump leaked because milk would get caught under the silicone shield, and it squeaked EVERY time I pressed the handle. And the real kicker is that when I called their "Customer Care" department to discuss my dissatisfaction with the product, I was told Philips doesn't guarantee their Personal Care line. I'm going back to Medela as fast as my two hands can order one on Amazon! I'd previously read how helpful Medela's Customer Service department was and didn't realize it might ever become necessary, as I've come to expect that from most companies...obviously Philips doesn't subscribe to the same viewpoint, so I'm going back to a company with real "Customer Care".

For me, better than the fancy electric models
I spent the $350 on the fancy double Medela pump-in-style, but could never get it to work. I gave up and sold it used at a fraction of the cost.
I saw this Avent for sale for for $19 at some outlet and bought it with skepticism. It works perfectly though - I used it every day for months; it has really helped me continue nursing without always being home or taking the baby everywhere I go.
You can control pressure, speed, and it doesn't need batteries or make loud noises. Excellent!

don't bother buying this item - suck it up and buy a medela
we weren't planning to buy a pump and then it happened. my milk came in and our daughter was totally overwhelmed and temporarily couldn't deal with nursing! we bought this product because it was the only one for sale at our local drug store...a mercy run that i made at 7am one morning when we decided that pumping was the only way she was going to get fed. though it DID provide relief, it was a pain in the neck to use: consistently leaking and even worse, increased pressure would cause a part to dislodge, requiring me to stop, dismantle, replace part, reconnect and continue pumping. to get 4 oz. it would take more than 15-20 minutes AND require numerous dismantlings. now, avent makes a number of wonderful products - we love their bottles, nipples, handle, etc...but this pump is lousy. we eventually bought a medela electric pump and i can't believe that i endured the drama of this pump for the weeks that i did. i have made it clear to every new and soon-to-be mother that i meet to not even bother with a manual pump and just suck it up and by an electric.
