Hands-Free Operation For True Pumping Mobility
The Freestyle is unique among breast pumps because it offers you the freedom to do other things while you're pumping. The hands-free operation is user-friendly and doesn't demand the use of complicated contraptions or accessories. And because it weighs less than one pound, it's a snap to take this pump to work or on trips--simply toss it into your purse or the cute included tote bag and you're ready to go.

Two-Phase Expression Technology
The Freestyle features two-phase expression technology, an advanced pumping pattern that mimics a baby's natural nursing rhythm. This system works in two modes: the simulation mode and the expression mode. The simulation mode simulates your baby's initial rapid sucking to start your milk flowing, while the expression mode simulates your baby's slower, deeper suckling to express your milk gently yet efficiently. These modes work together to make pumping a quick and painless process.

Comfortable and Convenient Operation
Convenient and easy to use, the Freestyle has a rechargeable battery that allows for three full hours of pumping time per charge. This battery also makes it a snap to pump in places--like airports or other public spaces--where outlets may be difficult to find.

The clear and easy-to-read LCD screen has a digital display that lights up, a feature that's particularly welcome during late-night feeding sessions. There's even a memory button so moms can save their favorite pumping patterns for use during future sessions. Finally, the valves and tubes are uncomplicated and simple and straightforward to use.

The Freestyle comes with four five-ounce containers and lids for safe and hygienic breast milk storage, another great on-the-go option. For added peace of mind, the Freestyle is backed by a 1-year limited on the motor, and a 90-day limited warranty on the other parts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply the best for working moms, March 24, 2008

This review is from: Medela Freestyle Breast Pump (Baby Product)
After a few weeks of feeling like a pack mule dragging my Medela Pump in Style from my first child back & forth to the office and using the Avent hand pump when I traveled, I finally splurged and bought the Freestyle. It is so light and easy to use it was worth every penny. I have now used it at home, in the office, in the car, on airplanes, at airports...

Why I love it:
1) It's superlight...the entire Freestyle pump feels like it's about the same weight as the power brick from my Pump in Style.
2) The fact that you can take the unit and put it in any bag you want is terrific.
3) The valves and tubes are easier to deal with than the Pump in Style (esp. the valves).
4) The digital display with timer is surprisingly useful.
5) The rechargeable batteries make it easy to pump in places where there may not be outlets.

The only negative: I think the hands-free mechanism is kind of convoluted, but I just use the Easy Expressions Bustier (which... Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Great little pump despite motor & performance problems, December 9, 2008
By 
Tina (Maui, HI United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Medela Freestyle Breast Pump (Baby Product)
I have had the motor replaced after 3 months of using it 3X per day.
The pump just stopped working (output gradually got lower until it was barely pumping anything).
The new motor worked well for about another month (so it wasn't my supply but the pump) but I am again loosing suction.
So I have replaced the motor, the spare parts kit twice, and the hose.
When I received the new motor, my output immediately went back up, but its now going down again.
I am running out of stuff to replace on this pump.
Even though I love the size and convenience of hands free, bottom line is that since the suction starts to get weak after a few months, then its not worth it.
I will be contacting company AGAIN (ugh) to try and get the pump in style advanced.
My recommendation, hold off on getting this.
Hands free looks nice, but the overall quality of the pump is lacking.
And not to mention, cleaning all the spare parts everynight on this kit is so very... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars I Love the Freestyle, April 7, 2008

This review is from: Medela Freestyle Breast Pump (Baby Product)
I previously used the Avent IS IQ duo and while the hospital grade pump was helpful in maintaining my supply I had a number of other complaints about it that left me very frustrated (you can see my review on this site for more details).

I purchased the Freestyle immediately after it came out and have really enjoyed using it. There are very few negatives.

Positives:
* Small size- can even put it in my purse!
* Battery power works great. I only charge it once a week, and pump off battery at work for the entire week. It is also handy for travel- no need for a manual pump when this one is so small.
* Ready supply of accessories- we don't have a sink in our lactation room at work. It is quite easy to purchase additional parts (kits and horns) for this pump (compared to the Avent). I have 3 sets and wash them at night.
* The... Read more
