  • Most affordable breast pump out there

    I purchased this product 3 months ago and have been using it everyday. It works well in pumping breast milk and was quite straight forward to assemble. I have only two problem with it, one being that soemtimes when I unscrew the bottle from the breast shields it soemtimes leaks quite a bit of milk that was somehow trapped in between. Secondly the inside of the breast shields small crevices can be difficult to Clean without a small tool. I had only realize there was some mold in the smallest gap when i looked thoroughly inside! Make sure you check !

  • AMAZING

    Being a FTM it was daunting starting to breastfeed and pumping was really scary for me, but not with the Medela. This breast pump was gentle but still had great sucking power, and the battery lasts forever. The milk catcher inserts, bottles, and tests made by Medela are great too. 10/10

  • VERY happy with it!

    I bought this pump for the first time and I’m completely in love! Easy to use, the fact that can be used plugged or with batteries is a must! Not too noisy. Affordable and excellent quality. Being able to express both breasts at the same time is a life saver, specially with a new born that requires our attention pretty much all day. Not bulky, so easy to pack away and take everywhere in a small hand bag. I recommend this product and brand! Did not have the opportunity to trie others, but I didn’t need to as this one has all it is needed 🙂

  • Great choice

    It is the name that I decided to go for when I was choosing a breast pump and I am not regret for buying Medela as it is easy to use. I am a person who is lazy to read instructions, however, Medela Swing Maxi Flex breast pump is easy to assemble and use. Highly recommended for mommies to be!

  • The best breast pump I’ve ever used

    This is the best breast pump I’ve ever used! The suction is great but it doesn’t hurt. I’ve used loads of different pumps and this is by far my favourite. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to establish feeding or establish a great freezer supply. This pump promoted my let down to start easily whereas similar other pumps haven’t done that for me. Great price, great product.

  • The best pump I’ve tried!

    I have absolutely loved this pump. It has every aspect I would want in a breast pump. I love that it is not only so simple and easy to use, but it sooo portable. I’m so impressed with the new breast shield, so much more comfortable than the previous version. I’m also really loving that you can clip it onto your shirt or pants while pumping, so you can move around. With my old pump I was only able to pump around 50mls but with this one I’m getting around 200ml in just 10 minutes! So happy. Definitely recommend this product to everyone. I’ve even managed to get my pregnant friend to buy one, she was soo impressed!

  • Super comfy pumping experience

    I was blown away by how comfy this is compared to the pump I was using. The breast shields adapt to your boob shape, and the parts are really quick and easy to assemble and wash. Being a double is a HUGE timesaver. I love that you can pump hands free, and use the battery function to move around and get things done while pumping. You can use a pumping bra or even just put slits in a firm crop top! The letdown setting is great for anyone trying to establish or build supply too. I’d never used milk bags before but after also trying the Medela milk storage bags I got as a free sample, I’m hooked. So much easier than storage bottles in fridge like I was doing previously!

  • This is a game changer in pumps!

    Wow! Just wow! With a 2 year old and a premature new born at home that is feeding every 2 hours around the clock this pump has changed my world! I can hook the pumps on play blocks with my active toddler or I can cut up the veggies for dinner.
    The suction is complete and strong without being painful- it is so effective with me yielding more milk than ever before!
    My only negative thought is why oh why didn’t I have this with my son!?!? It would’ve made my breastfeeding journey so much easier.
    Thank you Medela and thank you mouths of mums from a very happy and tired Mumma xxx

  • Love love love

    Recieved my pump today and straight away used it. Quick, portable and easy to use, the Swing Maxi Fle is a portable double electric breast pump hat mimics babies’ sucking for a more natural pumping experience. Most favourite part is that it’s portable so I can pump and continue to do things. Can’t wait to continue using and give more reviews about it .

  • Best travel pump

    This pump gave me my personal best (150 in 20 mins).
    I had tried the advent pump prior am it was long and hard to manage. I had to to put in alot of work.. leaning forward, using arms to ‘squeeze’ – you get the picture.

    Best part would be being able to maintain the power with batteries instead of using international converters. Which unfortunately, loses the ‘UMPH’ another plus is how light and small the pump is. Easily fit in my baby bag.

For lighter wines that still taste like the real deal, Chapel Hill’s Enlightened range is quickly becoming a go-to. These bottles bring all the flavour with noticeably less alcohol, which is why everyone’s falling in love with them.

Best SIPS’ Chapel Hill Enlightened Wines review team put the Rosé and Pinot Grigio through their paces, and the feedback was unanimous: both are fresh, light and perfect for summer sipping without the unwanted morning crogginess.

A rosé with summer written all over it

Chapel Hill’s Enlightened Rosé is bright, crisp and fruity, hitting all the right notes without tipping into the “too sweet” zone. It’s the kind of bottle you reach for at a casual barbecue or any get-together where you want something delicious but easygoing.

It’s exactly this balance of lightness and full flavour in an affordable bottle that has so many fans raving.

“Light, refreshing and honestly just feels like a little moment of peace in a glass. The flavour is this perfect mix of crisp + fruity without being too sweet — literally the kind of rosé you can sip while you finally sit down after a long day.”

Women trying Chapel Hill Enlightened Rosé.
A summer staple … on the lighter side

“Too many of these low alcohol wines just don’t taste enough like the real deal-but this is a sure fire exception. Beautifully refreshing, with a touch of sweetness that’s not overwhelming. A gorgeous colour too, which is a bonus- after all, we also drink either our eyes! Add into the mix a reasonable price point- this rose is a winner!”

“I love a nice glass of Rosé and the Chapel Hill Enlightened Rosé did not disappoint! It’s really light and refreshing and tastes like a really expensive wine. I love that this wine is really affordable, so I can enjoy a beautiful Rosé without breaking the bank more often. Definitely give this one a try!”

If your warm-weather wine rack needs an affordable new staple, this is it.

A Pinot Grigio you’ll be buying again (and again!)

For the white lovers, Chapel Hill’s Enlightened Pinot Grigio is a solid everyday white that ticks all the boxes: crisp, clean, food-friendly and affordable.

Our taste-testers repeatedly praised how balanced and versatile it feels, whether chilled on its own or alongside simple meals and casual gatherings.

“We love a white to pair with our spring/summer lunches and especially our seafood. This option ticked all the boxes …”

A versatile sip you’ll keep reaching for

“I enjoyed the first sip to the last of this Pinot. Anything with pear and citrus is something I want to try and this lived up to that, but with a lighter alcohol content – which I appreciate! Enjoyed over dinner, it paired really nicely with the food I was eating. This wine is something I’d happily recommend to others.”

“The wine offered just the right balance of fruity flavours – fresh and vibrant, but never overpowering or too sharp. It paired beautifully with both our light lunches and dinner, making every meal feel a bit more special. I also appreciated how crisp and refreshing it tasted, perfect for unwinding and enjoying good company. Definitely a Pinot Grigio I’d reach for again.”

Your lower-alcohol go-to

The team rates Enlightened wines 4.34 out of 5 and recommends them for anyone on the hunt for flavour-forward wine with less alcohol. They’re bright, modern and made for the kind of moments where you’d love a glass, but still want to feel good afterwards.

Find Chapel Hill Enlightened at Dan Murphy’s right now for $17.99 each.

  • The warmer weather tends to make alcohol go to my head faster – I’m not a big drinker, but just for that reason I’d seriously consider a low alcohol wine. The Pinot Grigio particularly sound as if I might enjoy it. I might well buy a bottle or two for Christmas.

    Reply

  • Looks delicious, would be keen to try their wines based off the reviews. Love anything local and the light wine is just an extra win – low alcohol content would be fab for nights with friends where we all still have to drive home afterwards so would be buying for that type of event!

    Reply

  • Chapel Hill Wines do have quite a good reputation. I like the fact that it is low alcohol content. Personally, I like a very sweet wine but many would like these as they are not so sweet. I wish them well with sales and think it’s good they are doing something about lowering alcohol level.

    Reply

  • Thanks for sharing this review. It sounds that the taste is good, the price is good and the alcohol content is really low indeed. I do like the fact that they’re light. One of the things I don’t like when you’re drinking a couple of glasses that it fills you up and it affects your appetite

    Reply

  • I appreciate all the reviews and think this is an excellent way to get your brand out there and known.

    Reply

  • I like the sound of the Pinot Grigio and will look out for it next time I’m at the bottle shop.

    Reply

  • I just asked the forum for recommendations on zero alcohol, but this is an attractive option as well! I do enjoy a Rose, so will try this one after all the positive reviews. It’s a shame they don’t have a sparkling in their collection yet! Would have been prefect for all the celebrating at this time of year.

    Reply

  • I dislike rose, but the pinot grigio sounds like it might suit me. To be honest, the alcohol content doesn’t bother me all that much – I rarely drink more than a glass or two anyway – but it would probably be nice from a general health point of view to know I’m consuming less alcohol.

    Reply

  • This sounds like the perfect glass. I do love being able to have a few drinks and not be all over the place about me. And as a bubbly girlie from Adelaide myself, I’m sure I’ll find a lot to like about this drop. Crisp and not too sweet, I’m sold and will have to try it.

    Reply

  • It was the first time for me hearing about the chapel hill brand. And i still recall when i picked up the Pinot Grigio from my local, the staff there actually stopped me and said i picked a winner! She said that it was probably the best Pinot they had available to sell.

    Reply

  • I’ve heard a lot of good things about Chapel Hill wines and the reviews are always good. I like that they have low alcohol range as I like to have a few glasses when I finally get to have one. Not being too sweet is a bonus that suits me well.

    Reply

  • The idea of having a lower alcohol content wine without compromising taste is really exciting. There’s nothing worse than feeling “under the weather” from the effects of alcohol. This lovely wine ticks all the boxes, lower alcohol and a refreshing flavour. I’m keen to get the Pinot Grigio in my cart and into my fridge!

    Reply

  • This wine sounds delightful and really refreshing to enjoy on a summer afternoon. I love that it tastes fresh and crisp and still has the same punch as other wine. It sounds like an absolute delight. I will have to give it a try next time i am at the bottle shop looking for some wine.
