Medela Harmony Breast Pump

I love this pump! I take it with me everywhere and get as much milk as I do with the plugged in pump. The ONLY complain I have about Medela - you don't make the flange size that I need! 17mm, or smaller....

I think the manual pump works better and is faster than the automatic medela pump I received from the hospital. Highly recommend this product.

I had this same pump with my first child 3 1/2 years ago and had no problem with it. Bought it again just a month ago for my 2nd child and it worked great when I first started using it but yesterday the suction started going. Very disappointed. Went out and bought a different brand pump.

The first time I used this product it was nearly 9 years ago. I bought it over the electric because I felt it gave me more dignity. which is why I bought it again with my second child in 2017 and kept using it with my 3rd in 2018. Honestly, I love this product. However, I only have 1 simple complaint that I am surprised you no one has thought of telling you how to fix it. the Finish leaks when knocked over. You can fix this by adding a rubber gasket. Please add this.

Thank you

PUrchased this as an alternative to the dual pump in hopes this would be an easy and quick way to pump milk and on the go. Unfortunately will not be using this as there is barely any suction, feels like nothing at all and does not do anything to produce milk

I'm so frustrated with this manual pump. I wish that I can upload a video for you all to see how terrible it has been for me.

It does not suction whatsoever !!! and I have to move the handle up-and-down in order for it to semi work. And by semi I mean I might get a couple mls in 20 minutes Whereas I'll get up to 90mls in 20 minutes using the Medela Symphony electric pump.

My very first hand pump was given to me by a hospital in which I delivered my first baby 3 and a half years ago. I absolutely loved it! I had an insane amount of milk and needed to pump often as I was working on decreasing my supply. I also was a working mom. So this pump was used in the office, on the air plane, airport, car, home. You name it. One thing kept breaking though. The handle that holds the silicone part that creates suction, somehow it kept ripping every few months. I tried other pumps and hated they way they felt. I actually bought like 5 pumps because it kept happening. Two months ago, I had my second baby. I got this pump again hoping I'll have better luck, two months later am once again in need of another pump. I love this pump so much but so frustrated!!!!! I can't be buying a whole new pump every time. I think I'll try to get used to a different brand.

I like the hand pump very much, especially great for substitute teaching when your daily schedule is different and you are at different schools and not always know where an outlet is located. However, I need to replace a part that is critical for suction. I always take the pump apart to clean it and now the yellow piece in the handle has stopped creating adequate suction. I need a replacement piece and am not sure where to get it. It would be great if Medela had a site where replacement pieces could be purchased.

I bought this as a way to relieve pressure on my breasts when my daughter eats on the other side. I've only used this less than 10 times and it had stopped working. The suction no longer helps to express breast milk. Disappointed as I thought I was getting a quality product.

My baby is 10 months old, and I was hoping to use this pump while on a trip. I tried it once and it only pulled a few drops out. I ended up hand expressing.

I bought this because I wanted to have it just Incase I had trouble breastfeeding and it turned out I did , I've been using it for almost 2 and a half weeks now and at first it was great I felt the suction and I was getting a lot of milk now I don't feel the suction and I think it's because the silicone that is in the handle part has a hole that seems to be getting bigger which is making it super difficult to get milk I'm having to pump forever I'm trying to make it work until I buy a electric pump but I'm so disappointed that this has happened in just a short amount of time.

I bought this pump a few months ago after I returned to work. It worked well for a few weeks until I suddenly lost suction. Instead of pumping 5 oz I would only manage to get 1 oz. It turns out Medela is aware of the o ring defect and doesn't supply extras. I tried to replace the o ring with o rings from the hardware store, none fit. This is a waste of money, buy something else that is built to last. I know I am.

I was given this at the hospital with the birth of my son who was struggling with regulating his sugar and temperature and being to tired to nurse properly. I've used plenty of pumps before, this being my 3rd child. I absolutely loved it. Easy to use, quiet, great for on the go pumps and I felt like it drew out more milk than an electric one. I actually liked this pump more than the electric one and I was able to easily pack it in a diaper bag or in my pump bag for work in case my electric one wouldn't work for one reason or another. Its lasted up until now. This past week I'd lost suction and I couldn't figure out why. Today throughly inspecting it, I found the diaphram part had cracked along the seam. It was allowing air in and losing the suction. In looking up the product information I'm disappointed the warranty is only for 30 days. For something so integral to our busy mom lives I feel like they would back their product up a little bit better. But in reading other reviews it seems they know it has a limited time use. In short, I loved the pump but I wish it held up better in the long run.

This is my second harmony hand pump and I absolutely LOVE the hand pump option for travel or quick pumping when you don't want to take out all the parts and pieces of the electric pump.
When I had my second child last year I bought a new harmony because I accidentally threw away the handle of the old one. BIG MISTAKE. I thought something was wrong with my supply but then I realized that the new handle was missing a part/piece and the suction was totally off!!! I threw away my receipt and I can't remember where I got it (mom brain) or I would return it. There is a noticeable difference between the suction on the first pump I had and this second one. AND I remember the silicon piece firmly attaching to the old one where this new one is so flimsy. SEE PICTURES... SO if you buy a Harmony pump make sure you check that it is not defective before you buy it.

If I could give it 0 stars I would. I bought this hoping to have a more portable pump option than my electric pump provides. Pumping with it got me just drops & it felt so cheap like it would fall apart. Disappointed to have wasted money on this.

Loved this the first day or 2. It got more than any other pump ever has. But literally within 3 days of buying it the valve cracked somehow and now the whole pump is worthless. And I know it's easy to buy replacements but you shouldn't have to after 3 days of owning it.. Very disappointed.

I wanted the Harmony as my "just in case" pump. Not really expecting to use it, because I really couldn't imagine a time or place I couldn't or wouldn't use my Sonata. But the first time my little guy slept a little longer, and I needed to pump in the middle of the night - I didn't want to take the time to set everything up, so I grabbed my Harmony and pumped right there in bed. It took a few minutes longer to pump, but I got just as much. Plus, a lot less hassle setting up and cleaning up.

I bought this product to pump off excess milk/ pressure before feeding my daughter. I love how easy this pump is to use and it don't hurt at all, I manually expressed my milk and it hurt so I was a bit scared to try a manual pump and I absolutely love it. Great for if you were going anywhere away from home and your nervous about breastfeeding in public like I am. Easy clean up as well. 100% recommend

not bad!! it actually works!! works really well but only for occasional use because all that hand work can be a pain...

I was going to a concert and it was the first time away from my son for more than 4 hrs, so I knew I was going to need to pump or I'd be in pain! So I decided to try this so I can pump anywhere and I was pleasantly surprised! It is quite, so simple and I like it better than the automatic one!!

I wouldnt recommend this just baught it today so weak wont pump anything out of my breast tried it for 15 minutes got just a few drops of milk

Hello. I bought this machine but i don't know how to use it.I read all the instructions but it doesn't work. :(

So apparently a lot of people have this same problem with the o-ring. I'm a student-parent and am limited to pumping in the university library while I'm away from my baby. So I needed something reliable and portable. Without reading reviews ahead of time I decided to purchase the Harmony pump. For the three weeks that I was using it got the job done, and I was able to make a small supply while I was away from home. I followed all care instructions for cleaning and storing when I came home for the day. But, alas, the pump only lasted less than a month before the diaphragm and o-ring rendered this product utterly useless. And there is not option to replace the item at an affordable price either. You have to buy the whole handle!

Loved it at first, amazing suction. After just two uses it has almost completely lost suction. Waste of money.

I bought this back in 2014 for my first child after trying different brands and even though it takes time. I loved it and makes no noise. I used it during working hours
