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. About Medela

 Not Worth the Money October 15, 2008
Disgruntled Shopper (Pensacola, FL)
I have a love-hate relationship with this pump. Most of the time I hate it. Here are the reasons why I love it: its small, portable, has good suction (well, I have nothing to compare it to but it gets the milk out), it has a timer on the display.
Here's why I hate it. It is so stinking loud. This pump was supposed to be designed for working women or busy women who need an extra hand around the house. Well, I have a hard time being able to make a business phone call when the all the person hears on the other end is "WAH-WAH-WAH" or as I affectionately put it, "MOO-MOO-MOO." Honestly, I didn't think it would bother me at first, but when you have to listen to it multiple times a day for 10-15 minutes at a time, it gets really, really annoying.
Here's why I hate it even more. There are so many parts and pieces to this pump you need an extra 5-10 minutes for clean up. There are also a lot of nookes and crannies in all of these parts and pieces that need to be cleaned, and they better be cleaned or else it will grow mold. Isn't that a lovely thought to think of your pumped breastmilk (which we all know is worth GOLD) being centrifuged with mold. Disgusting.
Like the off-key tune of Cher "If I Could Turn Back Time..." I would have bought the pump in style advance and waited for medela to perfect this product a little better.
 A great pump October 6, 2008
MamaEP (Washington, DC)
I finally convinced myself that I deserved this pump, and I'm so glad I did. It is worlds better than the Pump In Style Advanced which I used for my first two kids.
Pros:
1. Super light and small
2. Good, strong, adjustable pump
3. Pump attaches to your belt/waist so you can walk around while pumping
4. Helpful digital display of pump level and time
5. BPA-free, and comes with 4 BPA-free Medela bottles
6. Stylish, light tote bag
Cons:
1. Loud motor
2. The hands-free setup is terrible (but you can pump hands-free really easily with this pump by getting the Easy Expressions Bustier)
3. The price (though if you search around you can find it for as little as $270)
Overall, I think this is a great pump and would highly recommend it.
 Effective and Small September 30, 2008
Beth G (WI, United States)
I haven't had the Freestyle for long, but am pleased with its effectiveness at getting the liquid gold out. I appreciate the flat backs on the new-style connectors - they allow me to use my arm to hold the shields in place. I've been able to go hands free and do some simple things around the house - amazing! I also like the small size, the portability, and the rechargeable battery.
A few drawbacks - short tubing means the pump has to sit in my lap while I pump and the tubing and connectors from my other Medela pumps don't work with the Freestyle. When I used the Symphony and Pump in Style, I bought an extra set of connectors so I didn't have to wash as often - now they're useless with the Freestyle. As I said earlier, I appreciate the new style connector, but wish the old style still fit.
Pump works and Medela's customer svc is very good September 16, 2008

My child is 6 months old and I've been using this pump with good results since she was one week old. I've been back at work full time for 3 months. Pump is nice and light, and the hands-free adapters work well. It's great to not need a wall/car outlet. Have no prev experience with pumps to compare to.
More impressive than the pump has been Medela's customer service. I have called them twice, and both times was quickly able to speak to a courteous human who mailed out a replacement part that same day (today it's the power cord that has gotten unreliable; one month ago i asked them to send me the replacement vinyl-free cooler they now have available).
So I would recommend this product and this company. This seller seems to be selling the pump for quite a lot; I think better prices can be found via other vendors.
Love This Pump!!! September 5, 2008
Sara A. Garcia (Los Angeles. California)
This pump is the best out there. I looked for a pump throught my whole pregnancy and really tried to get a good one with all of the double pumping features. When I found this product I thought that it was to expensive but looked very convinient to take around. I decided to get it and when it got here I was amazed on how light the pump is and how powerful the litte thing is. I take it everywhere I go and I am able to pump anywhere. The pump isnt as loud as I thought and I dont have to carry around the big bulky bag like the PIS. I also like that the parts are much easier to clean. The bag is so discreet no one even knows you have a pump, and it is so small you can also carry it in your diaper bag. I would recommend this product to any active and working mom. FYI you can get this pump for half the price somewhere else make sure you research the websites.
