Manual pump
Uno
Duo
I am a loyal Avent customer. I think I have almost all Avent products at home: bottles, sippy cup, sterilizer, bottle warmer, spoon, storage containers etc.. you name it!
And this loyal mama has a total of three (3) breast pumps.. you guessed it.. from Avent: Avent single electric pump (Avent isis IQ uno), Avent manual pump and Avent double electric pump (Avent isis IQ duo). Sorry to say, I kind of regret that I did not get a backup pump from some other manufacturer and it is late to do so now (I am almost at my 10th month and considering to wean after pumping for a year).
My pumps are my best friends but best friends fight too. My single pump has a mind of its own. It turns off and changes pumping rhythm at its will. My another good friend, the double pump, decided to maintain a distance from me. It practically DIED a few days ago.. and it is already a replacement unit! The initial unit that I got was faulty straight out of the box! Even though the vendor promised to send it for repair but the breakdown is unacceptable after a mere 7 months of use 
I am currently using the manual pump and Avent isis IQ uno.. simulataneously. Bye bye freedom. No more surfing the net and reading while pumping. Oh, my precious Duo baby, come back to Mama soon!

I got the single electric pump first. Could not stand spending double the time at the pump expressing one side at a time. Since I was pumping exclusively and was doing it 8-9x/day at first (30-60min a session!!), i think it warranted me to get a double pump.
The manual one came with the double electric pump.. convertible..
Many pumps kah? Was thinking to buy Medela Freestyle as spare as well wakakaka!

Wah-Lau!!!! Yes, that’s a lot!!!
You’re so dedicated to expressing milk that I think you should have 5 children to do more of it!!

Precisely because I spent so much time and effort on pumping, I have phobia having more kids now!! Hope nursing will work well next time.. IF I have a second one
But to think of it, new parents spend average RM300/month on milk formula. I’ve recovered and PROFIT from my investments ‘cos BM is much superior than formula! So it’s worth every cent
