Product Review: EvenFlo SimplyGo

In this blog-post, Sucky-ness, I wrote about how I had to run out and buy an emergency hand pump at work.  I promised a review... so here you go.

The pump I bought was an EvenFlo SimplyGo Manual.  If I had to give it a rating I would give it 3.5 out of 5 stars.  It was better than I thought it would be.

Pros:

• It was in-expensive.  Typically sells for $20, I got it for $16 with a coupon.
• It is compact.  It easily stores in my desk at work and takes up very little room in the fridge.
• It is lightweight.  (Ok, anything is lightweight compared to the electric hospital model I typically drag around).
• It does the job, fairly well.  I can hand express 3 ounces in less than 10 minutes.  (Note: I have a huge oversupply, so don't take my word that you will get the same results.)
• The blue rubber cushion can be removed (needed for larger boobies)

Cons:

• The blue rubber cushion.  You can't see how your nipple is positioned through this.
• It's not as comfortable to use with the rubber cushion removed.
• No option for different horn or cone sizes.
• The band that provides all the action looks flimsy. They do give you a spare.
