Philips Avent Manual Breast Pump
Post your review

There is nothing better you can give your baby than the health-enhancing benefits of breast milk. Phillips Avent’s range of breast pumps and accessories have been designed to help you do so for as long as you like, as easily as possible. The revolutionary design of our pumps has been acclaimed by mothers and health professionals worldwide.

The Phillips Avent Manual Breast Pump was the first ever designed to stimulate milk flow in a way that closely mimics the sucking action of a baby. There is simply no gentler, faster or more natural way to express milk. The Phillips Avent Manual Breast Pump has not only been clinically proven to be as effective as a hospital-grade electric pump – it was rated significantly more comfortable and pleasant to use.

  • Never again

    I was given this manual pump when I gave birth to my first born. I thought that i would give it a go, and let's just say it was an utter failure. I felt like crying - from pain and frustration - every time that I used this pump. I am so glad that I converted to the electric pump instead. I will never go back

  • Avent Manual Breast Pump

    I bought this pump as well as my electric pump, and I have to say, I absolutely love it! It's really comfortable to use, and has excellent suction. I find it even better than the electric pump, although my hand cramps up with the amount of squeezing that is necessary, I never have to worry about my batteries running low, or accidentally pulling the cord from the wall. :) I highly recommend this pump to anyone who wishes to express, it's definitely a good purchase, and really not terribly expensive! It's also really easy to clean, and the bottle is just the right size for an express and feed session. Love, Love, LOVE it!

  • very good

    I had bought this without being sure how I would cope but to my surprise it was easy to use and have advised all my friends to use it. I have never used electric breast pumps before I wouldn't compare it but I preferred manual and it was useful when I went out as you cant always breast feed in public.

  • Nice and portable

    I use my advent pump as my portable / going to work pump. It's great for that as it packs up small and I use the advent storage cups so no transferring to milk bags.

  • Easy to use.

    I found this breast pump very easy to use. Once I had put it together a few times I was able to pull it apart and put back together really quickly. It is fantastic to use and is quite quick and it can be cleaned by taking it apart and sterilising in the philips microwave steriliser. I would recommend this to all mums.

  • Comfortable, convenient, quality

    I used a different brand pump for our first 3 children, then swapped to the Avent manual pump for our 4th child. It was so much more comfortable than the other brand, I wish I'd discovered it earlier. The handle is easy to use, and I found it faster and easier to express than the other brand because of the different pumping action. The parts separate easily for cleaning and sterilising. I found the wide mouth bottles that attach to the avent pump worked well to store milk and baby fed well from the bottles because of the anti-colic ring with the bottles. I still used sterilised narrow necked bottles by tipping milk into them from the wide necked bottles, but only because I still had them in the back of the cupboard (and these I kept in the freezer as a backup).

  • Great essential for any mum

    If you haven't gone down the electric path. This is the next best thing to have on hand.

    I've tried lots of different brands of manual pumps even ones that really hurt. And Avent is certainly the best.

    This makes he most perfect gift for a baby shower.

    Lots of bits to wash and sterilize but you seem to do it all in your stride.

  • more comfotable to use than other brands

    I bought one of these a week after my son was born because of unexpected breastfeeding trouble and it was the one recommended by the midwife. It too a little maneuvering initially to stop the leaks but eventually I got the hang of it and found it good. I later bought an electric pump in a different brand and that was when I realised just how comfortable the Avent pump was. I am pregnant with my second now and I am much happier to know that I have my Avent pump ready to use if needed.

  • So easy to use

    This was the only breast pump I used with both my boys and I went back to work quite quickly with both children. This was small so easy to use anywhere, gentle and simple to use and clean. Would recommend to anyone

  • Easy to use and somewhat mess free

    I did not mind this product actually, though I had a problem with leakage, unsure whether this was a user fAult or the product. It was easy to wash and use and I did find it comfortable. The price was a little expensive but I do believe the product is worth it. Mine lasted me through 3 pregnancies.

  • Avent is the BEST!

    Love the Avent breast pump. I started with the manual one first to see if I was actually going to use it and it was fantastic. It turned out that I did need to express a lot more as I had a premie baby and so I upgraded to the electric which I love even more. For those women who don't express much though the manual pump is just fine and of course a lot more affordable. I highly recommend this pump and the bottles.

  • Great product mostly

    I loved my advent manual pump!it was easy to use and worked well although my hand got quite sore!i used to keep this in my nappy bag and have my electric at home.unfortunately mine broke and lost suction so I didn't get to use it for very long but overall very happy

  • Very happy: has lasted for all three children

    I purchased this breast pump whilst I was breast feeding my son, and it is still working well with bubs number three (3+ years later). All if the parts still work as good as new, and I haven't yet had to replace anything. Tip: it works without the plastic dome thinggy that covers the valve mechanism, so that's one less thing to wash! I also like that it is relatively inexpensive: while possibly not as efficient as an electric pump (I hired one once on leaving the hospital and yes, it was awesome), I still found I was able to express a whole feed on a single pumping session.

  • Comfy & effective

    This is the only pump that would work for me. I tried other manuals & expensive electric pumps but I just couldn't get a good amount of milk down. Three babies later and I'm still using this pump! I can express 180mls in just a few mins!

  • Recommend

    I used this product with all three of my children! It's brilliant! It never hurt me and was always effective. I recommended it to many of my friends and they loved it too. I have all the Avent items, from bottles to dummy's, sterilisers to baby food blender. It's a brand I love and trust!

  • My favourite by far

    I used this with my first child and I was so happy with its performance. I could mimic his sucking pattern and got a great deal of milk out. I recently bought a hospital grade electric pump costing $300 and it doesn't live up to the avent manual pump. I've converted back to Philips for good

  • loved Ive

    Ive used avent since ive had kids and I swear by their breast pumps I had alot of problems with milk supply but the breast pump helped me breast feed just that little bit more so I was happy I will always buy Avent :)

  • Easy to use

    I used my avent manual breast pump for 16 months. It was easy to use, kept my milk supply up and got me through horrible mastitis. I like that you could buy the storage cups to pump into, instead of pumping into a bottle then swapping the milk to a bag/bottle to store in th freezer or fridge. I have now passed my breast pump on to my sister who is now using it and loves it!! Worth the money

  • Great and Easy to use.

    Iv always used the avent manual pump and found it so easy to use, it suctioned and pumped really well, was fast and very easy to pull apart and clean.

  • Easy. Convenient. Effective.

    As a first time mum I made a goal to breastfeed for at least 6 weeks even though I was unsure if I would struggle to breastfeed, so I decided to get a manual pump because they are not as expensive. I'm so glad I did because even though they are a little more work than an electric, I can control the pumping more which for me was more comfortable. I had used an electric one in hospital and it was great but considering I only pump once or twice a day elexteic was not worth the money. I love my avent manual comfort breast pump. easy tobuse...easy to clean and does its job!

  • Yep I’ve been a member of purkle for years but don’t get much these days on it to be honest compared to what I used to het

  • Thank you for sharing this. I hadn’t hear of Purkle! Being a single mum and only working part time means every extra dollar is handy. I enjoy doing surveys and reviews in my downtime anyway, so I might as well earn while doing it! I’ve just joined, so hopefully it will be a good experience.

  • This is so helpful thank you so much for this entry! It was very helpful since I think we all need a side hustle in todays economy. Especially women who do parenting at the same time while working full-time, I appreciate you all and you are doing an amazing job!

  • Tried it before and it’s definitely one of the better companies to do surveys with. They make it so easy, the website is easy to navigate and the surveys are generally not too long. It’s easy to do whilst on the couch or filling in time! Definitely worth checking out to earn some extra cash.

  • Purkle is fun! Not a lot to earn from but if you like filling up surveys or voicing ypir opinions, it is definitely worth a try. Sometimes there are survey on music which are the most fun ones and also, these are the ones that reward the most. Not bad to earn a gift card or 2 in a year!

  • I love Purkle. While the surveys don’t award massive sums, the surveys themselves are never long. Other platforms want a minimum of 10 minutes which can be hard to commit to during day time chaos. It doesn’t take long to accumulate a decent sum, and I use gift cards as a way to treat myself. They can be redeemed for grocery gift cards. I’ve cashed out over $200 in a year and a half. Give it a go!

  • I’ve been with Purkle for a few years now. One of my favourite survey and money earning platforms. Easy to build up a balance and redeem your earnings. Love sitting down and completing my purkle surveys, to see balance grow. I use this to treat myself or put towards presents for Christmas

  • I’m not having any luck with purkle. I tried to sign up for it and it just wasn’t working so I emailed them and didn’t hear back, I just tried again now and managed to create an account but then the activation email contained no link to click and actually activate my account. From the comments here it looks like I’m not missing anything anyway

  • I’ve earnt a bit through Purkle and other survey sites. They are great passive income. I don’t mind that Purkle pays in gift cards as it provides a great opportunity for me to buy something for myself as opposed to putting cash away for expenses. But cash is always good!

  • Surveys have been great to keep me awake while feeding my newborn at night but I agree with some of the comments that the time commitment is too high for the benefit. I do not believe i will continue using it once baby starts to sleep through and get through feeds quicker.

    Reply

  • I tried Purkle for approx 1 year and quite frankly it’s really not worth your time
    Very few surveys and very low amounts paid
    Worst thing is it only pays in gift cards so no cash
    I gave up and just stuck with my original survey site that I’ve been using for years
    It makes me $120 average in PayPal a week without too much effort and supplies the family with an annual holiday without touching the household budget

  • It’s a shame I’m already a member and can’t enter the competition. Surveys in general – including Purkle – can be a good way to earn some money, but just remember you won’t earn much from any one survey. It does add up over time though, and isn’t particularly difficult to do.

    Reply

  • This is a nice way to earn a bit extra money but you won’t earn a lot. Some surveys time out too which is annoying or hey just stop working half way through. If you have spare time and want to do it then why not. I sometimes do these on the train on my way to work and it slowly builds up to allow you to get a reward. It all helps.

    Reply

  • I joined Purkle ages ago but to be honest I have never used it and totally forgot that I joined let alone that I could be earning money and points while being at home. Any opportunity to make some money and try to help financially, off I go to rejoin I think!

    Reply

  • I have joined up and hope to gain some bonuses. I realise it won’t be a lot but it’s good to know from genuine people on here that have been part of purkle that it is a real site. So many scams out there so good to know this isn’t one of them.

    Reply

  • Purkle is a great surveys site. I’ve redeemed vouchers from there. You’re not going to make a fortune from it but you do definitely earn for your time. I haven’t done any for a while as I just haven’t had rhe time but I’ll definitely get back into it. The vouchers always come in handy.

    Reply

  • The inner sceptic in me will prevent me signing up! I’m not against a survey, however I would rather do one here and there when I can with the incentive of winning something big! Even a $100 voucher. At the rate I win, it works out better than signing up for this.
