Mandela seems to be the most popular brand but also one of the more pricey ones too. I definitely prefer the cordless ones for convenience too but sometimes find these can be weaker. It depends on your needs and how often you’ll think you’ll use it though. I just had a Tommy one and found i didnt use it often

I had a medula and found it so easy to use and clean. It wasn’t too lpud when pumping either. I had the swing model but this was 8yrs ago now so not sure what models are available but mine was a basic one but perfect for my needs.

I really liked my Medella pump. I didn’t get the one that is dual pumping or can be fixed in place, but I really loved how comfortable it was to use. It was also very straightforward to clean, which was a must have for me. I’m sure they have hands free options to consider

I have heard that Medella are supposed to be the best and you can get ones that do two breasts at the same time, so quicker. But, in all honesty, I had a cheaper Tommee Tippee one and it did the job perfectly for two separate kids. It never skipped a beat.

I wish you luck in this as it is all so complex and way too many varieties on the market now. Way back in my day there wasn’t much available and they were big and clumsy, not at all portable. Making the right choice is the hard part but I am sure you’ll get the right advice here.
