Gentle Comfort
Designed to provide gentle comfort, the Harmony includes several features to help make pumping a more enjoyable experience. First, the contoured, ergonomically designed handle fits easily in your hand. The handle also swivels, giving you the freedom to position your hand and then pump more comfortably on each breast. The Harmony also comes with a SoftFit breast shield to softly massage the breast while you pump.
Two-Phase Expression Technology
Designed to feel more like your baby than any other manual pump, the Harmony 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.
Convenient, Safe and User-Friendly Design
Medela knows that busy moms don’t have the time or patience to struggle with complicated parts or to wait for the pump to stimulate milk flow. That’s why the Harmony is designed for faster let-down.
Additionally, this one-piece unit features fewer pieces to assemble and clean than traditional manual pumps, making it a snap to start pumping when and where you need to. Most importantly, the Harmony is a safe and sanitary way to provide your baby with healthy breast milk–all parts that come into contact with breast milk are 100-percent BPA/DEHP free. For added convenience, this pump is also upgradeable to electric pumping with the use of the Symphony or the Lactina conversion kits (not included), and it is backed with a 30-day limited warranty.

I ordered this product assuming I will get all the components that are mentioned in the FEATURES on Amazon product page. But I got only those that are in the picture. I did not get adopter, battery pack…etc. Also shipping weight says 8.82 pounds but the package that I received is hardly 2 pounds.
But the product is good.

I had a really hard time with this pump I really hurt I am verry large and maybe that is why I have heard that you can buy a bigger cup but I already bought the advent pump. Actually I have the similar problems with it.

I bought this breastpump for my first baby and it broke after I had used it three times. This pump is tricky to assemble.
I called the 1-800 number and they would not believe that it broke they just kept telling me I had put it together wrong. I am not an imbecile I know the difference between broken and not put together. It had come unglued. Anyway I bought it before my son was born and so my 30 day money back guarantee was over.
Trying to manual pump is nuts your hand gets tired fast and the milk comes out slowly. It was faster for me to hand express. I bought an electric pump to replace it.

this is like the one the hospital gave me. i wish i had started out by renting the hospital grade pump. that way it is less time consuming, you empty your breast completely and pain free.

I bought the pump because I had read the reviews on this product and got the impression that it was one of the best manual pumps. That might be true, but my experience was dissapointing. The pump did not suction hard enough to produce milk. I tried several times through out the day and the pump did not suction out enough milk. Needless to say the pump is sitting in the closet.
