An electric retail pump with research-based and hospital proven, 2-Phase Expression Technology for more milk in less time. 2-Phase Expression is an advanced pumping pattern that mimics a baby's natural nursing pattern and consists of two phases, the Stimulation phase with fast and light sucking to start milk flowing and Expression phase, slower sucking with more vacuum to express more milk gently and efficiently. First researched and developed for hospital-grade breastpumps, this technology is now available for personal-use pumps. Features and Benefits: * Stimulation phase: Simulates your baby's initial rapid suckling to initiate faster milk flow. * Expression phase: Simulates your baby's slower, deeper suckling for maximum milk flow in less time. * Feels more like your baby than any other retail pump * One-touch 'let-down' button designed for faster milk flow * Customized pumping with adjustable speed and vacuum control * Stylish bag contains everything your need to pump * Battery Pak for pumping anywhere, anytime * IMPORTANT: This product is a single user item. Use by more than one user may pose a health risk, performance questions, and voids the warranty. * Chosen for you and your baby - All parts that come into contact with breastmilk are BPA/DEHP Free For single or double pumping.

Very Powerful--and I made it hands free myself--without the extra cost! Feb 07, 2009 By Westonsmama
I rented the Symphony from the hospital for the first month before purchasing the PIS shoulder bag pump. I love love love it. It is so powerful, I think it is even more powerful than the Symphony. Its easy to carry around and can hold all my pumping accessories. I would recommend shopping all the sites (Amazon and Target) before buying b/c I paid 279 and now I see it on here for 235. I bought mine at Target and the week later it went on sale for 240 so I took my reciept back and got an adjustment and the difference back. I would suggest getting a few sets of flanges though. I have 2 and am considering buying a third. I am pumping full time. I made mine hands free buy cutting slits in an old sports bra and that has been wonderful. I figured the "freestyle's" bra clips could be time consuming and the freestyle is so much more expensive. The sports bra thing works amazing.

Excellent Breast Pump Jun 14, 2008 By B. Rief
I purchased this breast pump approximately one month ago. I would highly recommend it to any breastfeeding mother. It has two phases to help stimulate let-down faster. I am a nurse and use a Symphony hospital-grade pump while I'm at work. I honestly cannot tell a difference in the quality between the Pump In Style Advanced and the Symphony. The pump does not detach from the bag but I have not found this to be a problem as other reviewers have. It is an expensive breast pump but well worth the money. And if you do your research you can find it cheaper. I bought mine at bestbuybaby.com for $200 (I think maybe $240 for the metro bag) with no shipping/handling and no sales tax.

Almost perfect pump Oct 06, 2008 By S. Sering "AgnusMommy"
I bought this breast pump after a mother of 3 recommended buying a medela pump and after buying the manual medela harmony pump. I did my research and decided this was the pump that would suit my needs. I decided to quit nursing but wanted to give my daughter breastmilk. I was also going to be returning to work and needed to pump for when I am gone.

Pros:
After figuring out how to pump properly, I started getting more milk. It has a suction control which helps when I am sore and need a lower setting. It also has a 2 minute letdown which automatically switches to regular pumping. You can also push the button to go back and forth between regular and letdown mode. I like that I can pump one breast at a time or double pump. I liked all the accessories the package came with such as sample nipple cream, breast pads, and bottles. The pump also fits standard bottles. It's easy to clean after each session and has less pieces per breast than the Harmony.

Cons:
It's quite heavy and sometimes a pain to move from the regular spot that I keep it. The bottles did not come with rings so I have to use the rings from other bottles to use the bottle to feed my daughter. The nipple shields were not the correct size and I had to buy a different size.

10 months and counting Jan 21, 2009 By Bik
I have had a love/hate relationship with my breast pump. When I was a new mom and VERY post-partum, my milk was slow coming and and so I had to pump extra to stimulate my milk. I HATED it then--I felt like a Borg (for any Trekkers our there) and I swear I could hear the pump talking to me, but it did the trick. I've been successfully nursing at home and pumping at work for the 10 months. My son in healthy and I feel very good about our progress. In fact, I've saved up enough milk, that I will be stopping soon and using the frozen breastmilk to get him up to a year.

My one complaint is that after all my use and transporting of the pump, the cord came loose from the power converter and started to spark! Now, this doesn't diminish the effectiveness of the pump, but it's sort of a fire hazard! I've had another friend have the same problem when she used the pump with her second child. I emailed Medela to alert them to the problem and bought a second power cord.

Finally, before you purchase this from Amazon, check to see if breastpumps are covered by your health insurance. My insurance covered it if it was purchased from a medical supplier, so I got mine at the hospital.

**Addition: Medela has since returned my email with this comment, "We apologize that you encountered a problem with the power cord. Sometimes, if the cord is wrapped around the plug during storage, this causes the cord to twist and can cause it to fray. We suggest no wrapping the cord around the plug, but storing it as it was when the cord was removed from the box."

Great so far Jan 30, 2008 By Ivette
After using the Medela "Symphony" (hospital grade pump)while I was in the hospital, I called the company to ask them what model could I purchase that came close to the "Symphony" model. They said the "Pump In Style Advance" comes the closest. I purchased it because I had a breast reduction 8 years ago and was not producing much milk. This breast pump has helped increase my milk production and is not painful (as many people have suggested about breast pumping). My only disappontment is that I wish I could just purchase the pump without the travel bag. Maybe that would bring down the cost for people just interested in pumping at home. Also, I wish the actual pump mechanism was removable/detachable from the bag, but it's not in this model. I think you have to purchase the "METRO" by Medela which is even more expensive to get that added ability. Overall, I am happy I bought it.
