Lansinoh Affinity Double Electric Breast Pump Review

Lansinoh Affinity Double Electric Breast Pump

The Lansinoh Affinity Double Electric Breast Pump is a breast pump you should give serious attention to. Why? Its a closed system, so no milk backing up into tubes.

Consumer Reviews of the Lansinoh Affinity Double Electric Breast Pump

If you like the Ameda Purely Yours Breast Pump as much as we do, you’ll love this pump as well because they are both made by the same company under different names.

There are some differences though besides color. The Affinity doesn’t use BPA free bottles, but can use the Purely yours ones if you want. Also no carrying bag is supplied, but that makes this pump very affordable. Most moms will go for the cheaper price and then use a diaper bag.

The rest of the review will show why we feel this pump should be on your short list of possible pumps to buy.

2 Adjustments

There are two adjustments on the Lansinoh Affinity, one for speed and the other for suction. This is the best you can ask for because it allows you to pump at a comfort level which is best for you vs. pre-programed.

Closed System

The Lansinoh Affinity Double Electric Breast Pump utilizes a patented closed system so the milk never comes in contact with the motor nor can it backup into the lines.

This is a very big deal, especially when you consider that mold won’t be a problem for you. This is a must have system.

Easy to Use

This is one of the easier to use breast pumps on the market today. It comes pre-assembled which is unique.

The pump can be operated either with batteries or plugged in.

And because of the closed system, there are no tubes to clean, so its as easy to clean as it is to use.

Pros and Cons of the Lansinoh Affinity Double Electric Breast Pump

Pros

The price is great, this is in large part because there is no tote bags included, but it makes a great pump much more affordable and it easily fits in a purse or diaper bag so its a non-issue.

The Patented Closed System is a tremendously good feature. Not having to worry about milk in the pump, contaminated milk or mold brings great piece of mind.

The pump is pretty quiet and super easy to use, the independent control of speed and suction means comfort and less nipple soreness.

This pump is meant for daily long term use and consumer reviews don’t show a high failure rate.

Cons

The bottles are not BPA Free, but because this unit is essentially the same as the Ameda Purely Yours Breast Pump, you can buy those parts and use with this pump no problem.

The annoying beep during the pump cycle.

Replacement parts pretty much have to be bought through manufacturer, but they have good customer service.

Final Thoughts on the Lansinoh Affinity Double Electric Breast Pump

Although its not as strong as a hospital grade breast pump, the Lansinoh Affinity Double Electric Breast Pump seems to deliver the same results. The biggest con is the lack of BPA free plastic. However a conversion kit can be obtained and from the Ameda Purely Yours Breast Pump and it still comes in cheaper.

Being a closed system its easier to clean and safer because the milk can’t backup into the tubes or motor, and we think this should be a standard across the industry.

Bottom line is this is a very reasonably priced daily use pump and if purchased your like to be very satisfied, so naturally we recommend it.
