And do you like it?
It looks like I can get one through my insurance 30 days before LO is due. I can choose from the Medela Pump In Style, Ameda Purely Yours, or Melodi Advanced. No idea if one is a lot better than the other!

I have the In Style. No complaints. I bought a second one to leave at work. The bag is nice. Every time someone at work sees me with it they think it's my purse and that I'm leaving for the day.

I have the PISA and love it!!
I think if I was going to get a new one I would get the Medela Freestyle (I know it wasn't one of the options for you) just because of the amount I needed and how my LO needed to remain vertical for so long with his reflux but that wasn't something I could have known beforehand...I could have pumped hands free and walked around with the freestyle.

I had to get the Ameda, because my insurance would not cover the Medela. Most people seem to prefer the Medela, but call both fairly equivalent. I figured I would never know the difference unless this one doesn't work at all!

I have Ameda Purely Yours and no complaints about it. I got it since it was cheaper since it was before insurances were covering breast pumps. ETA: Oh and it's a closed system which I liked. No worrying about cleaning tubes.

I have the Medela double pump that you can only get through insurance...it's not the pump in style, I don't think it has a name? I like it.

@Pepper: I ordered a Pump in Style through the DME that my insurance recommended. Well what arrived was the no name Medela (prob. the same that @tororojo mentioned). I guess if one is out of stock they just substitute something similar. I haven't had the baby yet, but something you might want to ask them when you order.

I have the Medela manual and the ameda, both borrowed from my sister. I haven't used the ameda yet but my sister loved it!
