Recommended models: SCF303, SCF334
If you want to buy maternal and baby products, but you don't know which brand to choose, then Philips Avent must be safe enough. Needless to say, the ISIS breast pump, launched in 1997, is still the model for commercially available manual breast pumps, and the original silicone petal massage cushion has also given Philips Avent a share of the breast pump market.
In the homogenized breast pump market, Philips Avent's silicone petal massage cushion is a major feature. When the milk is severe, the breasts that are full of milk are hard and painful, and even the hard horn of the breast pump may hurt the breasts. The Philips Avent silicone petal massage cushion is an effective way to alleviate this phenomenon, as air enters and exits through the five pre-opened petal holes, massaging the areola undulating and massaging for a more comfortable pumping process and a higher pumping efficiency.
All Philips Avent breast pumps are diaphragm, and although the dual-rhythm technology was pioneered by Medela, the massage and pumping model has become the industry standard, with the exception of the SCF902, all Philips Avent breast pumps have both massage and pumping modes. In terms of backflow prevention, Philips Avent is flatter than Amida and Ador and effectively isolates milk from air through only a silicone diaphragm, making it smaller and more beautiful.
SCF902 and SCF903 are the basic models of Philips Avent, which only supports unilateral milk pumping, and the angle between the horn cover and the connector is not very smooth, but the weight of the host is less than 200g, and it also supports battery power, which is suitable for users who do not have frequent milk pumping needs, and the price is about 600 yuan.
The SCF301 and SCF303 are the two most popular models, both of which can be combined with 4 levels of suction power in massage and pumping mode. The memory function also makes it easier for lactating mothers who have not yet withdrawn from the "pregnancy stupid" mode to operate, and can directly enter the last pumping mode every time the machine is turned on. The SCF303, which has won the German IF Design Award, is a bilateral model, slightly heavier than the unilateral SCF301, and has more left and right alternate pumping functions, and the prices are 899 yuan and 1349 yuan respectively.
SCF334 and SCF332 are both natural and native series imported from the UK, although there is only 1 massage mode and 3 pumping modes, there is less room for users to choose, but the connector angle of these two breast pumps is more reasonable, no need to lean forward and bend over to pump. SCF334 is a bilateral model, SCF332 is a unilateral model, there is no obvious difference in the appearance of the host, but the size is larger, and it does not support battery power, which is not suitable for users who need to go out to carry milk, the prices are 1199 yuan and 2299 yuan respectively, and the cost performance is not high.
Most Philips Avent electric breast pumps come with a manual push handle, which allows you to convert the pump directly into manual mode. After the SCF332 is replaced with a handle, it is no different from the SCF330 manual breast pump currently on sale, and the price is 319 yuan. There is also a manual breast pump SCF900 that only costs 169 yuan for the standard caliber, the shape is relatively thin and tall, but the pumping posture is not as flexible as SCF330, and long-term use may be more tiring.
All Philips Avent breast pumps have a breast shield with an inner diameter of only about 19.5 mm and no other sizes are available. However, the SCF334 and SCF332 can be adapted to a 25mm inner diameter sucker bra, which is relatively friendly to mothers with large nipple sizes.
