Spectra S2 vs Medela PISA?

[TnT10]

Hey ladies!  Does anyone have experience with the Spectra S2?  I currently have the Medela PISA and it worked fine, but I have seen more and more people with the Spectra this time around.  I EP for my daughter for the first 5 1/2 weeks due to latching issues and want to be prepared to do that again if I need to this time.  I did have some supply issues but wasn't pumping on schedule which I now know is very important.  Would you recommend the Spectra over the PISA?  The only downside that I see to the Spectra is that the accessories aren't as available as they are with Medela. Thanks in advance!

You can use an adaptor so you can use Medela bottles, accessories etc with the Spectra which is what I did. I started with the PISA and wish I had started with the Spectra S2 instead, it's wonderful. I love it. I never responded as well to a pump as I did to baby and the S2 made pumping a lot easier/quicker/more efficient.

Good to know, thank you for the feedback!

Thanks for posting this question, I've been wondering the same thing. It's so hard to know what to get. I wish we could try the darn things out before we had to decide.

I go back and forth a ton, but I'm thinking that I'll get the PISA because it's slightly more expensive and I can get insurance to cover it. If it doesn't work well for me, I can then buy the Spectra.

I have both. Although I like the timer on the Spectra and how quiet it is, it's not strong enough. I get better results faster with my PISA and I don't even have the suction halfway.
