One for each breast and they could be adjusted independently. I was only having trouble with one so it was nice to have that level of control. Now that I only use one side I really miss that feature. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-rented-a-hospital-grade-pump#post-1436014 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 10:25:27 +0000 mrsjazz 1436014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha. I rented a hospital grade pump and just couldn't figure out how to use it. I barely had any output so I gave up and hand expressed. My Medela was so much better because it was easier to use! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-rented-a-hospital-grade-pump#post-1436007 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 10:23:56 +0000 littlek 1436007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsH: time it took. I feel hospital grade pump<br /> More efficient </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-rented-a-hospital-grade-pump#post-1435993 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 10:20:08 +0000 lemondrop 1435993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Neither, that was one reason I was really happy with my Hygeia, no difference between it and my hospital grade Ameda. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-rented-a-hospital-grade-pump#post-1435990 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 10:18:09 +0000 MrsH 1435990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlek: from a noise standpoint or time it took?</p> <p>I ask because the hospital grade ones have larger motors and therefor work better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-rented-a-hospital-grade-pump#post-1435853 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 09:30:09 +0000 littlek 1435853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsH: I think output was the same. I liked the hospital grade one better though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-rented-a-hospital-grade-pump#post-1435843 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 09:27:52 +0000 MarieJ 1435843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wheres_c: me too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-rented-a-hospital-grade-pump#post-1435822 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 09:19:24 +0000 Turd Ferguson 1435822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erwoo: Exact same! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-rented-a-hospital-grade-pump#post-1435816 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 09:16:11 +0000 wheres_c 1435816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I felt like it took longer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-rented-a-hospital-grade-pump#post-1435805 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 09:12:13 +0000 DillonLion 1435805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Neither! New pump worked the same </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-rented-a-hospital-grade-pump#post-1435800 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 09:10:21 +0000 erwoo 1435800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same here, it was the same. Just my Medela Freestyle was louder! Haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-rented-a-hospital-grade-pump#post-1435668 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 08:25:09 +0000 Trailmix 1435668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Neither! I actually couldn't tell a difference between the two! I have the insurance version of the Medela pump-in-style and rented a Medela hospital grade for the first 3 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-rented-a-hospital-grade-pump#post-1435600 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 08:01:34 +0000 MrsH 1435600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After you returned it and started using a regular pump did it just take longer or did your output take a hit? </p>
