Budget double electric pump
- Silicone diaphragm prevents contamination
- Expresses both sides simultaneously
- More expensive than single pumps
- Carrying bag costs extra
Owners and reviewers note that the Ameda Purely Yours is the only personal-use breast pump with a silicone diaphragm to prevent contamination of the pump mechanism. The Purely Yours double pump can be purchased with a shoulder bag or backpack, but is also sold without a carrying case/cooler, making it a good budget alternative for those who plan to pump mainly at home, or who have their own carrying case and access to a refrigerator. The new Ameda Purely Yours Ultra (*Est. $300) offers more suction and speed settings than the original, but it also costs far more. Overall, the Ameda Purely Yours is rated almost as highly as the more expensive Medela Pump in Style Advanced (*Est. $280), which is only available as part of a kit that includes a carrying case.
The Ameda Purely Yours electric double breast pump is reviewed by a variety of sources, including the baby product book "Baby Bargains," owners posting on Amazon.com, Cerean.net and About.com.

3. Cerean.net

4. About.com
Robin Elise Weiss, About.com's guide to pregnancy and childbirth, lists six electric breast pumps, including the Ameda Purely Yours. However, there's no evidence of testing, and the short write-ups amount to a one-sentence product description. (Note: ConsumerSearch is owned by About.com, but the two don't share an editorial affiliation.)
