The other two aren't available for my insurance or the company is out of stock. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/free-pump-which-one#post-504166 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 19:27:05 +0000 lemondrop 504166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love my Hygeia pump! Works better than the hospital grade Ameda I rented the first month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/free-pump-which-one#post-504132 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 19:17:06 +0000 lawbee11 504132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: I haven't done much research on pumps (but will need to soon), but if you don't have to clean the tubing with the Ameda, why would anyone buy anything else (because isn't the Ameda cheaper also?)? It seems like that is such a nice perk! How often do you have to clean the tubing on other pumps? Are the Medelas just better in other ways? Sorry to thread jack! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/free-pump-which-one#post-504074 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 18:59:02 +0000 photojane 504074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@matador84: What kind of problems are you facing with the PIS? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/free-pump-which-one#post-504072 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 18:58:14 +0000 QBbride 504072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Medela pump in style :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/free-pump-which-one#post-504062 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 18:53:57 +0000 MaisyMay 504062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Medela! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/free-pump-which-one#post-504061 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 18:53:27 +0000 matador84 504061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a pis but contemplating buying an ameda!

I debated between that and the Freestyle. I ended up with the freestyle just for portability/hands free/etc. for pumping at work, but I'd def get the PIS if it was free! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/free-pump-which-one#post-504053 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 18:50:23 +0000 autumnlove 504053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I vote for the Ameda!

I just heard from my insurance company that my double electric pump will be 100% free to me. I was anticipating that it would be part of my deductible, but nope... free! I wasn't going to even get an electric pump because of the cost, but now I'm excited to try one out.</p> <p>My insurance company gave me a list of companies where I can order a pump online, and the available brands/types. These are my options:</p> <p>Melodi Advanced Breast Pump<br /> Medela Pump In Style Advanced<br /> Ameda Purely Yours Breast Pump<br /> Hygeia (HG) Breast Pump</p> <p>Pumpers, if you could get a free pump, which would you choose? </p>
