Conclusion: Worked well WHEN it worked
Review: This pump worked well when it worked and that is the only reason I gave it two stars. The first Embrace pump I had suddenly went out on me before my daughter was a week old. I called and they sent me another but in the mean time I was told to purchase a hand pump and send the receipt in for reimbursement. I sent the receipt in and never was reimbursed. When my daughter was five months old the second pump went out. The lady on the phone was friendly and told me this pump was made to withstand more use than I was giving it. Once again they sent me a new motor. I asked about the previous reimbursement and was told she would look into it and get back with me. It has been over a month and I still haven't heard anything. My baby sitter also had this pump with her first child and had the same thing happen but when her second one went out they refused to send her another saying they had already sent one. For the money I would go with another brand.

Conclusion: comfortable, efficient, good buy
Review: I ordered this pump so I could store milk and pump when I go back to work. The bag that it comes in is nice, and all of the parts and accessories come in separate bags which makes it very easy to stay organized. The pump has a lot of options for settings but I never use stronger or faster settings than 3/5 and it only takes me about 15 minutes to pump. The cups are soft and minimizes the discomfort of pumping. It does come with a cigarette lighter adapter so you can use while traveling as well.
The downsides are that the pump is a little noisy, especially the higher the suction setting. Also it is not very convenient to disassemble and wash after each use, but I think this is similar with every pump. I am a little concerned about the durability of the parts, but I've been using it at least once a day for nearly a month and so far so good.

Conclusion: It's pretty fantastic, does the job and well worth it!
Review: I just recently bought this pump because I had the Medela double breast pump, but the motor went out on me-You don't expect a $200+ device to go out after 3-4 months of use, but that one did. After reading many of the reviews for the Playtex double breast pump, I decided it was the best choice since I breastfeed and work full time.
The Pro's to the Playtex double breast pump---1. Very comfortable when pumping,,,just like everyone says, it simulates as if the baby is feeding. 2. You can see the milk being pumped. 3. Several levels of suction and speed of suction--it's especially nice when you have limited time for lunch or whatever during work and need to pump in less than 15 min or so,,,it definitely gets the job done and you aren't sore after wards. It comes with 2 types of bottles to pump with--2 standard bottles, and 2 that you can put drop in liners in, **and a little tip**-I wash the liners and use them over a few times before disposing them, to save a little money of course! 4. The tote the pump comes in is nice, and a few smaller bags for the parts is handy to keep everything organized. 5. Comes with an ac adapter and a car adapter. 6. And finally the best part--Cheaper than the Medela double breast pump and much more reliable!!!
Con's- The only complaint I have is the few additional parts you have to assemble for it. I know a few other reviews mention it. But I have found you can actually find the cup accessories online unlike Medela cups.
Overall, go with the Playtex Embrace system, it is pretty fantastic, and you won't regret using it.

Conclusion: Good buy for the money
Review: This was a pricey purchase for me because my last pump was less than $100 and I thought it was fine. Little did I know I would spend this much on a pump and be this impressed! It's great! WOuld do it all over again.
