Okay mama bears, let's talk about this fancy Medela Sonata pump! I've been using it daily for 3 months now and here's the real tea.

First off - the suction power is LEGIT. Like hospital-grade strong but somehow still comfortable? The adjustable settings are perfect for when you need that extra oomph during letdown.

The battery life is a game changer! I get about 4 full pumping sessions (20 mins each) before needing to recharge. No more being chained to the wall like some milking cow!

Now about those 'glitches' people mention - yeah, sometimes it shows weird error messages but just turn it off/on and it works fine. Annoying? Sure. Dealbreaker? Not even close.

Cleaning is surprisingly easy despite looking complicated. Only 4 main parts to wash and they're all smooth surfaces - no weird crevices where milk gets stuck (looking at you, Spectra).

The app? Meh. I never use it. The touchscreen controls are intuitive enough without needing my phone involved.

Only cons: It's a bit heavy (about 2.5 lbs) and no clip option. But honestly, the performance makes up for these minor inconveniences.

Final verdict? Worth every penny if you're serious about pumping. My output increased by like 30% compared to my old pump!
