The Swing's compact size makes it easy to pump wherever you are. View larger. | Two-Phase Expression Technology
The Swing features two-phase expression technology, an advanced pumping pattern that mimics a baby's natural nursing rhythm. This system works in two modes: the simulation mode and the expression mode. The simulation mode simulates your baby's initial rapid sucking to start your milk flowing, while the expression mode simulates your baby's slower, deeper suckling to express your milk gently yet efficiently. These modes work together to make pumping a quick and painless process. Comfortable and Convenient
Compact enough to easily fit in your purse, this pump is both safe and comfortable to use, whether you're home, at work, or traveling. The Swing includes many features that help make pumping a positive experience. First, the one touch let down button lets you start pumping immediately, and results in faster milk flow. The included massaging SoftFit breast shield provide exceptional comfort, and the convenient, compact size of the pump lets you place it on a table top, or attach it to the belt clip or included shoulder/neck strap. You can even store it in your purse, briefcase or the included carrying bag for pumping on the go. Additionally, the adjustable vacuum and speed allows for customized pumping. When it comes to safety, the 100 percent Bisphenol-A (BPA) free Swing ensures a hygienic pumping experience and fresh, chemical-free milk for your baby. It also comes with two durable plastic storage containers and lids for sanitary storage of breast milk. About Medela

 I've tried a bunch... this one is GREAT November 11, 2006

OK... so I've been told the Symphony is the Cadillac of breast pumps... but with a price tag of $[...] who can afford that?? Renting it cost $[...] a month if you can find a place to rent it.. I did and used it for a month.. I honestly was not totally impressed for the price. Then I read up on the swing this pump ALSO (like the symphony) includes the Medela 2-Phase Expression Technology - the new standard for unsurpassed naturalness, comfort and efficiency. AND after buying it.. I liked it BETTER then the symphony. Infact I think it works just about the exact same, which is crazy of Medela when the price is SO different. I have tried the Medela Pump in style as well as the Avant Isis and this one is the best.
I would highly reccommend this pump.
POSITIVES:
This pump is portable. Comes with a travel bag, runs on batteries OR you can plug it in. The pump itself is about the size of a Hardees Hamburger. The breast shield is soft and very effective, you can control the speed and it has the letdown mode as well that automatically turns on after a few minutes. The breast shield is soft and comfortable, the suction and speed is the same as the symphony, the pump is SIMPLE to use, FOUR buttons-you can't NOT figure it out easily! It is FAST and emptys your breast totally.
NEGATIVES: (I have to stretch on this one cause I love the pump) It's not quiet, I don't know why the other review says it is.. It's actually louder then I thought it should be.. but not louder then the Medela Pump in style or symphony. But just not "quiet" I don't want you thinking you are going to get something you can pump with at the front of a mini van and noone in the back is going to hear..
It's a Single Pump... I know.. DUH.. but it is a negative, if only they made a double with this size base, I'm almost tempted to buy another.
I highly reccommend this pump, as a mom of three, I've tried a lot of pumps.. I think Medela is selling this pump short saying it is like the pump in style, I think it is comparable to the symphony!

I was looking for a pump because I'm planning a long car trip which I don't want to make even longer by stopping every 2 hours to feed. Other than that I only plan to use it occasionally -- enough to keep my child taking a bottle. I have the Medela Manual Electric which the hospital gave to me. I used once it once and hated it. It was slow and actually hurt because the required pump action pushes against the breast. This experience made me leary to get the manual Medela Harmony (or similar). I also thought I'd feel weird using a manual pump while fairly visible in a car.
I'm trilled with the Swing.
* It's cute and the parts are small enough to carry large handbag. The pump itself is about the size of a jumbo bagel. The breastsheild and tubing don't take up much more room. If you choose to plug it in then the cord with its wall wort are almost a large as the pump itself.
* It's extremely easy to use as the use of the 4 buttons is intuitive.
* It's quiet. My baby is a noisy eater and she's louder than the pump.
* I guess the drawback is only one breast can be pumped at a time. I found I can get 70ml in about 15 minutes, ie about the same speed as my child. However, it only takes one hand to hold the bottle/breastshield so I can use the computer at the same time. (If I pumped at a table of the right height I might be able to prop up the bottle/breastshield and have 2 hands free.)
This pump is awesome for an occasional user. I'll speculate that it would be good for someone who doesn't drive a car to work and doesn't want to lug a Pump In Style, and yet has the flexibility to allow pumping to take a little longer.
 Problem with Swing Pump Motor Connector January 11, 2007

I bought a Medela Swing couple days ago. I was very excited and tried it out straight away. The motor keeps turning off by itself and I need to replug the adapter into it every time. I inspected the round motor unit and discovered that no matter how firmly I plugged the AC adapter into the motor it would fall out because the mechanism that keeps it attached to the motor was faulty. It is very frustrating to stop and restart while pumping. And it happens 2-3 times per session. Also, I find that the suction is not strong at all, in fact it is very weak. Too bad I am not able to try another Swing to justify whether this problem prevails across all the product line or it just happens on my pump. How I wished I could return it. I regret that I did not buy the Ameda Purely Yours double pump instead (because they offer a 30 days Money Back Guarantee and the price is the same). I was weary about buying a pump becuase of the prices and not being able to test them. You can only rely on reviews. I spent all waking hours I have when the babies were sleeping to read over hundreds of reviews before choosing Medela (trusted brand??).
Now I am not sure whether I bought a junk or not. I called Medela twice. First time they sent me a AC adapter which didn't solve the problem. Second time they promise to send me a replacement motor but I have to bear the cost of sending my motor back. I would be able to testify further when I receive it later. But at the back of my mind, I cannot help feeling frustrated and helpless. I felt like being punished for receiving a defective unit. As all Mom would agree with me, it is extremely cumbersome for me to drag my babies out to the post office to box and return the motor, and I hate to think that I need to fork out extra money to do so. It's like addition cost to maintain a brand new breastpump!!!!
The replacement motor arrived in the second week (UPS 2 days delivery). I noticed that again the connection comes out every time I pumped. So this is a design defect after all. This pump prohibit me to move at all because if I jerk to bend a bit to reach for the TV controller or just to hold the baby, the connection would come off by itself and thus turning the motor off!!! Also, the max suction is still very weak which is why I can manage to pump 1 oz for 20min both sides. I inspected the motor and at the back of it was stated that this pump was labelled "intermittent suction, medium vaccuum". Do not expect a powerful pump if you opt to purchase this!!!
I know you are not supposed to love your pump...but I do! March 25, 2007

My baby was small (4 pounds 14 ounces) when born and was not able to nurse well. I established my supply on a rental Symphony from the hospital. When it came time to return the Symphony I debated whether to continue renting it or to purchase my own pump. The purchase price of pumps really scared me off, but I considered the Swing because it is intended for daily use, which is what I needed, but was not as pricey as the Pump In Style. I LOVE THE SWING. THe Swing is as efficient, if not more, as the SYmphony. THe fact that it is a single pump does not bother me at all because it is so efficient I am done pumping in 20 minutes - both sides. It is so lightweight and portable that you can go anywhere. After a month of being tied to the huge Symphony every three hours, it was a wonderful and welcome change to be able to go places with the pump. I am a full time working mom and currently use the Swing every day. I fully recommend this!
Wonderful! January 20, 2007

I'm so happy that I splurged and bought this. I was using a manual pump, and getting sore wrists and it took forever to do. The Swing, though a little pricier, is totally worth it! The two-phase part really works well. I was pretty dubious at first, but it's been a great help to me as I return part-time to work.
