Enter the Philips Avent double electric breast pump, which was sent to me as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I have used an electric pump in the past with my older children but was so impressed with the Avent pump! First off, I love how small and compact it is! It is easy to store away in the bag when not in use and it doesn’t take up much space when using it - can have it on the table, next to you, on your lap, etc. It has only a few parts that require cleaning, which when it comes to cleaning and disinfecting with baby, is a plus.Based on December 2019 GemSeek online satisfaction survey conducted among more than 8,000 female users of childcare brands and products.
