Product Review: Spectra S1 Plus Electric Breast Milk Pump
The Spectra S1 Plus Electric Breast Milk Pump is a top-of-the-line breast pump that uses Natural Nursing Technology to mimic the experience of natural breastfeeding. This gentle "suckling" pumping pattern ensures productive, comfortable, and successful pumping sessions that mothers can enjoy. The pump is portable, rechargeable, and can be used as a single or double electric breast pump. Its closed system creates a hygienic barrier between outside contaminants and mother's milk, ensuring that the milk is protected while also being easy to clean and maintain.
Users have praised the Spectra S1 Plus Electric Breast Milk Pump for its quiet operation, portability, massage feature, and vacuum control. They have also appreciated the timer, memory feature, and night light. However, some users have found the bottles and pump kit to be cheap and have had issues with moisture getting into the tubing.

FAQ
Q: What is the basic difference between the S1 and S2? I see the speed ranges are different but that doesn't seem to account for the price difference.
A: The S1 and S2 are basically the same pump, except the S1 is rechargeable and blue, while the S2 must be plugged in to work and is pink. The S1 is worth the extra cost for the freedom of not being tethered to a power outlet.
Q: I ordered the S1 and the charger does not work. Is there something I need to do or how can I get a new charger? I’ve never used it until today.
A: If your charger is not working, you can purchase a new replacement on Amazon, ASIN: B07GQH9QB3, which has a longer cord and comes with an indicator light.
Q: Does this work with the Kiinde Twist system?
A: Yes, but you need to have the white duckbill valves. If your pump comes with the blue 2-part valves, you just need to replace those. These work well: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00XVASFGC/ref=sr_ph_1?m=A1PDEB2BHZMS37&ie=UTF8&qid=1436647330&sr=1&keywords=medela+membrane
Q: Can you pump into bags with this pump or just bottles? Do Medela bottles work with it? Can you use any shields, or just Spectra Brand?
A: You can pump into bags using the Maymom adapters, which allow you to pump into the Lansinoh bags. Dr. Brown 8oz bottles work well for pumping into and mixing, and the pump is compatible with Spectra brand shields.
Q: Can you tell me what is included with this pump?
A: The pump includes two bottles with teats, two shields for double pumping with tubing, and a cable to charge the pump.
Q: What is included? Just the pump? Tubing? Flanges? Etc.?
A: The pump includes tubing, two flanges, two bottles with nipples, and two storage caps. Some users have found that the storage caps leak, so they prefer to use bottles from other brands.
Q: Hi, is there any way to fit the Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature bottles with the S1?
A: Yes, you will need two adapters: the Tommee Tippee adapter, available on Amazon, and the Spectra conversion adapter, available at spectrababy.com. It's not bulky, but it works.
Q: How do I know it's fully charged?
A: It may take up to two days to fully charge the first time, and there is no indicator that it is charging. However, after a while, you will see that the battery level goes up.
Q: Are the bottles BPA-free?
A: Yes, they are.
