The Spectra S1 Plus is often touted as the most loved by moms and lactation consultants under the ‘electric pumps’ category. Not surprising, considering it’s a quiet, light-weight (only 3 lbs) yet mighty machine with a suction power of up to 12 levels (270 mmHg)! We particularly love the minimal parts (for easy cleaning), rechargeable battery, and helpful extras like a nightlight, built-in timer, and a memory function that saves your prior settings.
