Better than Medela!
Whether you go with disposable bottles or reusable, or use a both as I do, this is just the greatest pump!  I never expected a manual pump to work more quickly than my Medela mini electric, but it does, and since I'm not plugged in anywhere, I can pump anywhere--as a stay at home mom, that pretty much means in any room, but if you need to pump at work, this is lightweight, and most important, I'm sure, silent!  It can be done with one hand, and although at other sites others have claimed to pump with one hand while nursing at the other breast, I'm not quite that coordinated!  I'm sorry to hear someone had a problem with durability.  My daughter, now 2, nursed for a year, during which time this pump saw lots of use, and my son, 6 months, has just started solids, but I've used the pump for preparing milk for dad to feed him, and also when he was first born and had nursing problems, to relieve engorgement and to bottle feed.  Now I'm pumping to have milk to mix with his cereal.  Point is, I've found this pump to be VERY durable.  The other person whose pump cracked must have had the bad one of the lot.  I can most confidently recommend this pump, and anything else Avent puts out!
