Hi Gothmum, I actually used the medela electric, double pump for a few moths and then switched to the Avent Isis for the rest of the time - a total of 12 months exclusive expressing. I found the Avent Isis a better motion, more controllable than the electric pump - I got a better volume too. I also hired my electric pump from our hospital for around $15 a month. Look into that as an option - should be available from your maternity hospitals "Equiptment" or "Appliance" centre. All big hospitals have them. That way you can try it out without buying it!

Good luck and well done expressing for your little one.
