My Ella pumps have been great and really beneficial to my first breastfeeding journey. I wouldn't have been able to get so far without them. I have recently had some interaction with Mumilk to resolve a concern I had and they were so quick to respond and resolve this for me, absolutely amazing when I was so stressed! Thank you Mumilk!
New time mum, I have used this for colostrum collecting as I’m still yet to have my baby and it’s absolutely amazing. It’s so easy and not overwhelming to use like most other pumps!
It’s very discreet and efficient, can personalise the settings to suit each breast. Is great for going back to work. Still wouldn’t move too much, can do basic stuff, but I eat and drink mostly so it does stay in place well. Love the timer too so I know how long I have been doing it for.
It’s ok, not sure if it can be sterilised, currently hand washing only. Fits well but does pop off too easily so you need to be careful when storing otherwise what’s the point right?
I used to manually express, however found it difficult to set aside time with no interruptions (impossible with kids haha) with a newborn and a 3 year old but now I can go about my day tending to the kids with no interruptions with expressing! This has definitely saved me time and energy and the only thing I regret is not purchasing this product with my first child!
Probably the best thing I bought/received during my post partum period. Seriously changed my breastfeeding journey, could not recommend these enough.
Wish I made the call to buy them earlier for my wife. Really got back a large chunk of her sanity. Got the same yeild as our hospital grade Spectre.
Great product and even better customer service. Thank you for all your help!
I purchased 2 of the Ella pumps. These are honestly life changing with twins. I can pump anywhere (not that we leave the house much) but juggling two babies is hard enough and being cord free is FANTASTIC!! I have a SPECTRA pump as well and have not touched it since purchasing the ELLA’s
They fit in most of my bras without the extendable clips being needed. The automatic 20 minute switch off is great because sometimes I’m so comfy while pumping I don’t realise the time has passed. Prior to purchasing I was worried about the suction level as my boobs have fed 3 previous babies and now twins, but I should never had worried, the suction is great.
Thank you mumilk for creating such an innovative product that works well.
I don't like this pump. Reasons why
It's not discreet at all.
It doesn't have enough suction. Beraly get one oz from one side, my spectra s2 give 2½ from one side. So it's not a hospital grade.
It's expensive.
Doesn't come with extra flange inserts, you have to buy separately if you don't know the nipple size.
I bought this pump to replace the one I’d hired from the hospital and it’s been game changing. No more long cords or having to sit still while you hold the pump on. I love that it’s hands free and there’s so many levels to choose from too. Easy to clean and very user friendly. I would happily recommend this to any first time mums. You won’t regret it!
I am not one to ever write reviews but this pump is extremely overpriced and overrated I felt I needed to. The only good thing about this pump is that it’s portable.
It doesn’t drain your boobs fully, even if I massage them when pumping it still doesn’t do the job (I don’t have a huge supply so I need it to get as much milk out as possible). When you sit it down to get a bottle to put the milk in, you have to be so careful when placing them on the bench as they tip way to easily or be careful you don't gently knock it as its open at the top and the milk will just pour out wasting your precious milk. The charger will be plugged into the port and will be charging and you can come back 5 minutes later and all of a sudden its not charging as the charger doesn’t fit nicely in the charging port so you need to push it in again but its already in and been charging. I have had my pumps for 2 & a half months and the battery life has unfortunately decreased a lot already.
There is a lot of other products on the market that are much cheaper and work the exact same. Wish I didn’t waste so much money on this product as I got 2 of the ‘top rated’ pumps, the dust covers and case also.
I purchased the case after I got the breast pumps. The case is a lot bigger than I thought and it isn’t designed for a specific pump. I wouldn’t say it’s a travel case due to the size of it as it takes up a lot of space and there is a lot of extra space inside it. It also really needs a handle on the outside. In saying this… I love the material used, and I’m happy to purchase as I love my pumps and happy to keep everything all in the same place. I don’t think it will be practice taking it to work in a few months as it wouldn’t fit in a normal bag with other things like a lunchbox.
Absolutely love the Ella pump, it’s so comfortable and I can get things done. I was struggling before holding a pump which took forever and was so uncomfortable. I wish I had bought the Ella sooner and I wish I had bought two!
If you’re on the fence about if you need these or not - you do! Best purchase we made! My son decided he didn’t like breastfeeding anymore so we switched to exclusively pumping. I was so down and struggling to get it done when my husband was at work. These pumps have been the best! Even used them in the car while driving to SA. They are comfortable and discreet enough to use in public if you desire. Only thing I would say is beware of bending over towards the end of pumping as the milk will come out of the pour hole at the top. If there was a way to plug this, these pumps would be even more perfect.
Mummas, if you want an outstanding pump, look no further! I recently bought the Ella breast pump, and it’s been the best in collecting my breastmilk. This pump is Quiet, comfortable, convenient, and affordable. I absolutely love it. Thank you mumilk.
This has been amazing to pump and still be able to do things especially since I’ve had my second child my 2 year also keeps me very busy.
Would highly recommend
The Ella pump is great, it means as a second time mum pumping doesn’t feel like a chore. Even if I sit down & have a hot cuppa when I pump it means I’m hands free. For a hands free pump it has great suction & will be so hopeful when I return to work. The pumps as super easier to clean as well.
Super convenient, easy to use and clean. Very happy with this purchase.
I recently encountered an issue with my Ella breast pump as it suddenly stopped working. I reached out to the support team and was incredibly impressed with their prompt response and efficient handling of the situation. They quickly arranged for a replacement.
I'm hopeful that the new pump will last longer without experiencing the same problem. Thank you so much for the excellent customer service and swift resolution. Your support has made a significant difference, and I appreciate the hassle-free experience!
The motor on my Ella seems to be charging however when unplugged it doesn’t turn on. I’ve only had it for 2 months so a tad disappointing that it’s no longer working.
I purchased a Mumilk pump on May 15, 2024, and it suddenly stopped working without any fall or damage. I'm highly unsatisfied, as this is the second time I've experienced this issue. The pump didn't even last three months. It's too expensive to replace every two months. Regular pumping is crucial for me, and I hope for a replacement.
Truthfully when I first purchased these I thought they were painful and ineffective. But then I finally ordered the flange nipple inserts and now they work incredibly well! So glad I did because hands free is very convenient 😊
I’m obsessed with the Ella hands free pump! Being a mum of 2 it has taken the stress out of pumping. It is simple to use and easy to clean. I get about 180ml from one breast in 15 mins! I love it!!
