Eufy vs Perifit Wearable Breast Pump

With the Eufy pump cost at a premium, which pump can rival it without spending $300?  
We tested the Perifit breast pump and really like what we saw.  First it actually does 300mmHg on it's highest level of suction which most wearable just do not reach.  Next we liked that it was high quality designed in France as you can note on the flanges as they are high quality silicone and you can choose your flange size on the double pump from 18mm, 21mm or 24mm instead of using an insert which can interfere with suction and also is another part to clean.  I also really like the suction and speed levels.  You can choose up to 12 levels of suction and the speed can be used at a fast pace, slow pace, massage pace and a unique intermittent pace that alternates 8 stimulation cycles and one expression cycle that helps milk to flow more quickly.

Below is a chart with features that may help you decide on the pump for me.  Some models of the Eufy do offer heat, but if there are issues with clogged ducts or mastitis, heat is no longer recommended due to increased inflammation. If heat is used on healthy breasts, it should be used short term at the beginning for let-down, not during the entire pumping session.

So should you spend over $200 on a wearable breast pump?  If you are using an electric pump like the Spectra S1 most of the time and just use a wearable on occasion, a less-expensive pump such as the Lansinoh Discreet Duo might be a good option.  If you have low milk supply or are going to use a wearable most of the time, then yes, these high quality pumps are going to be better for your milk supply and in the long-term easier on your wallet than buying formula.  I've tested a number of other wearables popular because of their price point including TSRETE and Imani, but for daily use there is no comparison in quality and consistent suction to Perifit and Eufy.

Here's to a great hands-free pumping experience,
