The pump itself is great. The amounts I got were consistent with that of the hospital pumps. However, l used this pump for literally 10 days (if that) before the plastic power button fell off into the machine, only allowing me to turn on the pump if I stuck my pinky or another small object through the hole to push the actual red power button. This pump is expensive, I really don&rsquo;t think that should happen. I wasn&rsquo;t even traveling with the pump, it stayed on my nightstand for the entire time I was in the NICU because I&rsquo;d only use it on the overnights IF even went back to my room.</span> <div class="bvseo-pubdate">Date published: 2023-08-21</div> <meta itemprop="datePublished" content="2023-08-21" /> </div> <div class="bvseo-review" itemprop="review" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Review" data-reviewid="265269342"> <span itemprop="reviewRating" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Rating"> Rated <span itemprop="ratingValue">3</span> out of <span itemprop="bestRating">5</span> </span> by <span itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person" itemscope><span itemprop="name">Voiced_Joy</span></span> from <span itemprop="name">Love/Hate Relationship</span> <span itemprop="description">I have a love/hate relationship with this pump. I am an exclusive pumper due to my baby having tongue ties and not latching well to my elastic nipples. I pump 5 times a day for 30 to 60 minutes to produce enough milk. I have two sonatas- one for home and one for work. Both pumps are different year models which I bought second-hand because I couldn't afford them new. They both act the same way and have the same quirks so I know it's not a fluke when the pumps act up. First the good: -I am producing the most milk I ever have with rhythm #2 on this. I am making enough now to feed my baby. Even with renting a symphony, I was not able to do that. -There is no vibration on this pump, which I prefer and respond better to. -The suction is not painful. I have slightly elastic nipples and I can use a higher suction on this because of the rhythm. -The parts are easy to clean and last a long time. The bad: - The battery does not last long enough unless plugged in to go an entire day pumping. It barely lasts 15 off of the plug before I feel a difference in suction. - The pump sometimes randomly loses suction in the middle of a session even when plugged in- 15 to 20 minutes in. This happens more often if I try to enter the letdown/massage mode again to get a second or third letdown. To fix this have to turn off the pump and reset it by holding the power button. It doesn't always work the first time. This is time-wasting and annoying. My pump sessions are already long enough without having to troubleshoot. -The pump is not extremely portable- sure, it's better than dragging a symphony around or even a spectra, but the &quot;handle&quot; is slippery and I'm always worried about dropping it. - The pump is NOT as quiet as they claim it to be. I feel like three other pumps I've tried are quieter than the sonata, including the symphony. I've toyed with the idea of pumping in my cubicle instead of going to the lactation room, but the pump sound would definitely be disruptive to my neighbors. -The pump parts are heavy and require a SUPER supportive bra. I know the parts are part of what makes this whole thing work, but again it's annoying to have so much weight on the front. I use a heavy silicone flange which also adds to it. This makes it difficult to multi-task. Even changing my baby's diaper is quite the task when I'm worried that flanges might shift or fall out of my pumping bra. -Parts are expensive and not compatible with any other pump parts (thankfully you can use silicone flanges)- yes they do seem to last longer than parts on other pumps, but they still need to be replaced often enough that it's a nuisance- especially if you are exclusively pumping and want multiple sets to cut down on washing. Overall- I will use the sonata because it is more effective than any other pump I've tried, but I would like a pump that has more reliable suction, better battery life, and is more portable.</span> <div class="bvseo-pubdate">Date published: 2023-01-09</div> <meta itemprop="datePublished" content="2023-01-09" /> </div> <div class="bvseo-review" itemprop="review" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Review" data-reviewid="265175857"> <span itemprop="reviewRating" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Rating"> Rated <span itemprop="ratingValue">5</span> out of <span itemprop="bestRating">5</span> </span> by <span itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person" itemscope><span itemprop="name">Trjoy11</span></span> from <span itemprop="name">Absolutely love this pjmp</span> <span itemprop="description">I bought this pump for my Jan 2020 baby!

It was fine the first month then started having slow suction where I needed to crank the level pretty high for it to feel like it was working. The battery life doesn&rsquo;t last long and when it gets down to half way and less seems like it doesn&rsquo;t work as much as it should still.</span> <div class="bvseo-pubdate">Date published: 2022-12-06</div> <meta itemprop="datePublished" content="2022-12-06" /> </div> <div class="bvseo-review" itemprop="review" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Review" data-reviewid="262823955"> <span itemprop="reviewRating" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Rating"> Rated <span itemprop="ratingValue">2</span> out of <span itemprop="bestRating">5</span> </span> by <span itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person" itemscope><span itemprop="name">Jaxtonsmom</span></span> from <span itemprop="name">Love/hate relationship</span> <span itemprop="description">I really do want to love this pump in its entirety, but it keeps failing. I purchased it last year, after I had to return the hospital issued symphony, and the power butting just broke off one night. Medela did replace it, and that pump just died last night. It doesn&rsquo;t charge or power on at all anymore. I purchased the freestyle flex when my first sonata broke, and it just doesn&rsquo;t pump as well as this one. When it is working, I pump almost as much as when I had the symphony. Altogether I have spent over $700 in pumps in a year, and I am starting to think I should have just bought the symphony.</span> <div class="bvseo-pubdate">Date published: 2022-11-14</div> <meta itemprop="datePublished" content="2022-11-14" /> </div> <div class="bvseo-review" itemprop="review" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Review" data-reviewid="260540909"> <span itemprop="reviewRating" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Rating"> Rated <span itemprop="ratingValue">5</span> out of <span itemprop="bestRating">5</span> </span> by <span itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person" itemscope><span itemprop="name">Caitlyn</span></span> from <span itemprop="name">Love this pump!</span> <span itemprop="description">I bought this pump in 2019 with my first born. Used it while he was in the NICU then after we brought him home. It is amazing and so close to the hospital grade pumps. I&rsquo;m excited to get replacement tubing for it and use for my second babe due at the end of the year!

The pump itself is great and very strong, however the parts are very fragile. A connector cap broke and now I have to manually hold it on my pump. I looked for a replacement and even called customer service, but they only sell the full set (and I just need one connector cap). Reading other reviews, this seems to be a common problem.</span> <div class="bvseo-pubdate">Date published: 2022-03-28</div> <meta itemprop="datePublished" content="2022-03-28" /> </div> <div class="bvseo-review" itemprop="review" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Review" data-reviewid="253885290"> <span itemprop="reviewRating" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Rating"> Rated <span itemprop="ratingValue">5</span> out of <span itemprop="bestRating">5</span> </span> by <span itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person" itemscope><span itemprop="name">JDTGarner</span></span> from <span itemprop="name">Best investment</span> <span itemprop="description">I bought this for my LO before I delivered. I delivered in November 2021. I upgraded through my insurance and paid some out of pocket for this pump because I wanted a hospital grade pump. With my last pregnancy I wasn't able to breastfeed for long because of my supply so I wanted to be prepared this time. I am currently exclusively pumping and this pump does great with my supply. The pump is easy to use with and without the app. The parts are easy to assemble and clean. I don't have any complaints about the pump at all.</span> <div class="bvseo-pubdate">Date published: 2022-01-19</div> <meta itemprop="datePublished" content="2022-01-19" /> </div> </div> <script type="text/javascript"> if (document.getElementById('bvseo-reviewsSection')) { document.getElementById('bvseo-reviewsSection').style.display = 'none'; } </script> <!--end-reviews--> <!--begin-pagination--> <ul id="bvseo-paginationSection"> <li class="bvseo-paginationItem"><a class="bvseo-paginationLink" href="https://www.babiesrus.ca/en/Sonata-Breast-Pump-NOW-with-PersonalFit-Flex-Breast-Shields/F4F758D9.html?bvstate=pg:2/ct:r">Sonata Breast Pump NOW with PersonalFit Flex Breast Shields Reviews - page 2</a></li> </ul> <!--end-pagination--> <ul id="BVSEO_meta" style="display:none!important"> <li data-bvseo="bvDateModified">y_2024, m_4, d_18, h_3</li> <li data-bvseo="ps">bvseo_bulk, prod_bvrr, vn_bulk_3.0.41</li> <li data-bvseo="cp">cp_1, bvpage1</li> <li data-bvseo="co">co_hasreviews, tv_1, tr_148</li> <li data-bvseo="cf">loc_en_CA, sid_F4F758D9, prod, sort_[SortEntry(order=SUBMISSION_TIME, direction=DESCENDING)]</li> <li data-bvseo="diagnostics">clientName_toysrus-ca</li> </ul> <!--end-bvseo-reviews--> <ul id="BVSEOSDK_meta" style="display: none !important;"> <li data-bvseo="sdk">bvseo_sdk, dw_cartridge, 18.2.0, p_sdk_3.2.0</li> <li data-bvseo="sp_mt">CLOUD, getReviews, 9ms</li> <li data-bvseo="ct_st">reviews, product</li> </ul>
