Let me start by saying, this little manual pump has been a lifesaver! As a mom who's constantly on the go, the Medela Harmony fits perfectly in my diaper bag and is always ready when I need it.

The suction power is surprisingly strong - I was shocked how quickly it empties me compared to my electric pump. We're talking 5 ounces in just 15 minutes per breast! The unique oval-shaped shield with soft rim makes it super comfortable too.

During a recent power outage when my electric pump was useless, this manual pump saved my milk supply. It's become my trusty backup that I actually prefer using now.

Yes, your hand does get tired after prolonged use (that's the trade-off with manual pumps). But the simple 5-part design makes cleaning a breeze - huge win for sleep-deprived moms!

The included storage bags are fantastic with their double-layer protection. The wide opening makes transferring milk mess-free, though I wish the collection bottle was larger for us oversuppliers.

Pro tip: Adding a duckbill valve improves suction even more! Just remember to use some coconut oil if you experience any discomfort.

While some moms struggle with the learning curve (it does take practice), once you get the hang of it, this pump outperforms many electric models. It's become my primary pump despite owning several others!
