The best manual breast pumps are incredibly quiet, convenient, and easy to clean. Instead of trying to find an electrical outlet, or bothering others with motor noise, a manual breast pump allows you to pump quickly and quietly, wherever you are! We reviewed 10 different manual breast pumps to find the best breast pumps for sale online. Before we get into the reviews, here are a few things you should look for when shopping around for a manual breast pump.
Material: Whether it is BPA-free plastic or food-grade silicone you want to be sure the material the pump is made of is non-toxic and safe for you and your baby.
Capacity: Most manual pumps can fit up to 4 oz. of breast milk at a time. If you need a pump that can hold more, find one that you can attach to a larger bag or bottle to avoid wasting milk!
BPA Free: Bisphenol-A, better known as BPA, is a potentially harmful chemical that’s commonly found in plastics. It’s thought to be bad for babies’ health and development, so it’s best to avoid plastic products like baby bottles and pumps that use BPA.
Pieces: Many of the pumps we reviewed are one piece of silicone, while a few were two-piece models with a hand pump and separate container. The pumps also come with a variety of accessories like lids, storage pouches, and cushion adapters.
Weight: While most manual breast pumps are far lighter than electric pumps, they do vary by a few ounces. Depending on your needs, you may need a lightweight option for easy travel, or a heavier pump to withstand heavy, regular use.
Warranty: The models we looked at usually had some kind of warranty, whether it’s a 30-day money back guarantee or up to 2 years for name-brand pumps. Before investing in a high-quality manual pump, look for one with a solid warranty.
Now that you know what to look for, let’s get to the best manual breast pump reviews! We chose 10 of our favorite models we think will make pumping both pleasant and easy for just about any mom out there. If you’re pressed for time, start by checking out our Top Pick and Budget Pick.
