Experts say electric double pumps such as the Ameda Purely Yours are the most time-saving choice for moms who must pump several times a day, such as those who work full time. The Ameda Purely Yours has a silicone diaphragm that prevents the air tubes from getting moisture in them, so users don't have to clean them, and also protects against breast milk getting contaminated by outside moisture or air. The Purely Yours double pump can be purchased with a shoulder bag or backpack, but is also sold without a carrying case and cooler insert, making it a good budget alternative for those who plan to pump mainly at home, or who have their own carrying case and cooling tote. The newer Ameda Purely Yours Ultra (*Est. $290) offers more suction and speed settings than the original, but it also costs far more and is less widely reviewed. 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 in a host of places, including the baby gear book "Baby Bargains," consumers posting on Amazon.com and editors on Cerean.net and About.com.
