| I haven't tried that particular brand, but I can say that manual pumps are for occasional use only.
My son wouldn't suckle, so I ended up pumping exclusively for 6 months. When pumping 3-4 times a day every day for 6 months, I definitely recommend an electric double pump. I loved my Medella Pump 'n Style Advanced. (I'm a new member and can't post links.)
The few times I did use a manual pump (the one that came with my electric), it was effective and took about the same amount of time per breast (about 5-7 minutes). That said, 5 min is a long time for that type of awkward motion.
I hope this helps! | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I used an electric, manual did nothing for me. Electric I could get about 150mls out in 15 minutes. Manual, that was a joke! | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling: | thanks ladies!
...seems like the manual ones are a waste of time then...hmmm....the electric ones seem so expensive though!......
I guess I'd only pump occasionally....so OH can help with night feeds etc....maybe I should try the manual ones first...ooh decisions decisions | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I have both an electric one and a manual one (the avent one), used the manual one last night and got over 4oz in about 10 mins. I find them both good to use. | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Tasha uses a manual and its very good... she rates Tommee Tippee for their lowest use of some chemical or other... electric ones have a habit of going tits up... geddit?! Hahaha... oh you'll all kill me for that one.
The other advantages of a manual is that you can use it when on holiday or out and about, no hunting for a plug socket....
Breast is best! TashaAndBump - you owe me a fiver for saying that. | | | | Status: Offline
