Pros & Cons
Pros
The battery life of the pump is not as amazing as the motif, but it is also way more convenient to charge with a usb cable. The battery lasts usually 3-4 sessions before it needs recharged and is always back up to full charge before i need it again. D... Read More
The swing maxi also connects to the medela family app via bluetooth. This is an added feature and bonus if you’re into tracking and data collection, or interesting parenting tips/articles. The release * are very easy to press by accident too if the pu... Read More
Rubber on the flanges are game changers! It also helps with the suction and staying on the breast. The suction is effective and the bag makes the pump very easy to tote around.
The swing maxi is quiet and compact. The soft shields on this pump are a game changer defiantly designed with moms in mind. If getting it as a second pump, it uses the same connectors as the pump in style which is convenient.
Medela swing maxi is a great alternative to the spectra s2 and medela pump in style. The new triangular shape of the tube input is convenient and allows for less cleaning. The only thing i didn't like about the pump is how short the tubing is.
Cons
At least the membranes are interchangeable. But it's also quite large, and doesn't exactly fit in my pocket. The problem is they all have only been lasting me a few months.
It starts out well and then the suction starts to go wonky. Sometimes* it works if it’s plugged in, but mostly it just pumps for two sections and then turns off even when plugged in. The milk accumulates in the phalanges and stops suctioning.

Quality
I love the fact that this model is rechagable and that the battery easily lasts through 4-5 pumping sessions, effectively lasti... Read More
Great suction, stays charged long and easy to use.
After 2 months of steady use it’s as good as the first day i opened it.
I hated the spectra tubing it was flimsy and any slight movement would come unplugged.
Price
This is a great price for a great pump.
I was nervous because the cost but it is so worth it!
But should be able to charge and pump for this price!
Shipping
I received the pump from medela at no charge in order to try it and provide an honest review.
Packaging/appearance
The bag that comes with it is cute, and it is nice to have a cooler feature in the bag to store the milk on your way home.
The bag that came with it was the perfect size.
Competitiveness
I exclusive pumped for my first child in 2019, and back then i used a medela pump in style in addition to several other brands.
Milk output: i find that there is really little to no change in the output when comparing the spectra 2 and the medela swing maxi.
The small, handheld pumps are never going to be as effective as the standard medela pumps but this one is pretty good (and much... Read More
