Breast Pump - Avent ISIS IQ UNO vs Medela Swing?

[jaetee]

I have heard better things about the Avent Isis because it can be both manual and electric - but does everyone prefer the Medela Swing more?

I have been using the full set of Avent pumps for 7 months now, and find them to be very good.

I use the double pump at home, and uses the single Uno pump with a hand pump in the office. Sometimes, if I travel to China for work in the day time, I just take a hand pump with me.

I find that speed for using the Avent hand pump and the Uno pump is around the same, but it is more convenient. I can usually pump out around 3oz of milk in around 15 minutes from one side.

When I use the duo pump, I can usually get around 10 oz total from both sides in 15 to 20 minutes.
