[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using the Nuk Soft & Easy Electric Double Breast Pump for over two weeks and have been really impressed with it.
The packaging makes it really easy to unpack as it's all categorised into compartments together, so set up only took about 5 minutes after the parts were washed. The quick start guide was great for busy mum's - no long instructions, simple clear directions and the settings on the pump were intuitive and fuss-free.
The skin-soft silicone flanges are GENIUS! No uncomfortable, hard plastic - it just moulded to my skin and was so comfortable I completely forgot about them while pumping! The pump comes with two flange sizes (24mm and 27mm), and initially I was a bit worried because I usually use a much smaller flange size than the smallest that came in the pack - but actually it wasn't an issue at all, because the skin-soft silicone flanges just mould to you.
From a 10 minute pumping session, I get double the amount of milk I would get from a 40min hand expression session. This pump is such a huge time saver! Especially for working days. I love taking this pump in because it's so compact - literally just the flanges, collection cups/bottles, and the cordless pump remote (smaller than a TV remote). I can fit it in a little pouch and just pop it into my office-day back. No lugging around massive heavy pumps with electrical cords. I love the fact that it is cordless - It means I don't have to cram myself into comfortable positions just because there is an electrical port there. I can pump anywhere and where is most comfortable to me.
I liked how you could adjust the strength of the pump as well, I prefer a strong setting so loved that that was included.
It's also very simple to clean - the no-fuss nature of the pump means that all you need to clean is the flanges and the collection/cups bottles. I also like that the collections cups/bottles included a lid, so you didn't need to waste bottle teats on milk you just needed to store and then get home to freeze.
Overall, I really loved this pump and it's vastly superior to what is on the market. It ticks all the boxes for busy mum's - lightweight, simple and fuss-free, excellent quality, and above all effective!
