"Why when I sit the pump down the bottom opens up and all my milk spills out. It has a rubber seal this shouldn’t be happening. It’s only used for 2 weeks. This is absolutely ridiculous."
"I was really disappointed with this breast pump. It is not hospital grade, and the suction feels very uneven and unbalanced. Since my milk supply is already low, consistency is really important, and this pump made things even more frustrating. There were multiple times when I removed the pumps and parts completely fell apart, causing my milk to spill. My milk also leaked into the wires and into the pumping device itself, and now the machine no longer works at all. As a breastfeeding mom, losing milk is upsetting enough, but having the device break because of poor design made the experience even worse. I would not recommend this product."
"The pump itself is great and def hospital grade. The collection cups are terrible. They have opened up on me several times after long pump times. I was literally crying over spilled milk and I'm an undersupplier which made it worse."
"Horrible pump. I was SO excited to try this but I’ve had at least 10 separate issues with it. Not user friendly and do not recommend"
"Suction is great, portable and works well"
"I’m very frustrated with this product. I’ve used it almost exclusively for going on 8months. I’ve replaced every single bit of this pump several times and have taken the utmost care of it. With all new parts I’m still having the issue of the diaphragms not fitting correctly which causes the milk to be pulled through the tubing and to the motor. I loved this pump til I continually started having issues. As a mom who exclusively pumps, a pump that runs with no issues is SO important and it is overly frustrating to not only have issues but to continue to have said isses when you’ve replaced everything with the cost coming out J. of your own pocket. I have never in my life written a review, but this has been so frustrating I had to share. I hope Elvie fixes this bug."
"The pump leaks and sometimes the pieces just come apart and milk goes everywhere which is disappointing when your supply is already low."
"Used as my only pump for 2 years. Purchased the spectra s1 for my second pregnancy and the elvie stride is so much better."
"I’m really disappointed with the Elvie Stride. Ever since I used it to pump only one side, the other side no longer pumps well at all. The suction feels uneven and weak, and it’s frustrating when you’re already trying to keep up with pumping. The flange inserts don’t fit well either. Even when using the correct size, they don’t sit securely and constantly need adjusting, which affects output and comfort. I’ve tried reassembling everything, checking the parts, and troubleshooting, but nothing improved. I also don’t understand how this pump is considered “hospital grade. ” The suction is inconsistent and nowhere near as effective or reliable as what I’ve experienced with true hospital-grade pumps. For a pump at this price point, I expected consistent suction, reliable performance, and better-fitting components. Instead, it’s been stressful and unreliable during an already demanding postpartum period. I wouldn’t recommend this pump if you’re relying on it as your main option."
"I was disappointed with this pump. It does not pump very well. It does the job if I am pumping after a feeding or an extra pumping session, but if I am pumping a full feedings worth, it does not do the job. I ended up with a clogged duct because the pump stimulated me but didn't actually pump the milk out. I can be pumping on a high setting for 45 minutes and get nothing out. Overall, I was not thrilled with this choice of pump."
