    I have used both a manual and en electric. I will never use a manual again.. Personally I find it tiring and I can never get enough out..

    I hired the medela blue one from a medical supplier. You can also get it thru ABA. If you are only expressing occasionally you won't need to go that expense.

    It really depends on how much you need to pump.......

    I got the Medela lactaset manual pump, I really didn't think I would be pumping as often as I am (three times a day!). I got tired of hand pumping very quickly, especially as I was used to using a commercial pump in hospital. So I hired the elcetric component to the Medela from the chemist and it has saved my sanity! It's definitely worth it for $22 a week
