My biggest regret is not having known about this pump from the start, I really wish more people knew about pumpables!!! I wasted way too much money on other pumps and flanges (not covered by insurance in Canada :( ), and they were so overpriced, painful, discouraging, and I even have one sitting collecting dust because the power adaptor died days after the warranty for it expired (yes medela pump in style with maxflow, I'm talking about you), Not only were pumpables the first ones to recommend correctly fitting flanges (after being told 4 wrong sizes from different lactation consultants and spending so much money), but the genie advanced and liquid shields are the only way I've ever been able to pump 5 ounces (which for me was always in the realm of impossible). More people need to know about this pump!
Throughout the day, my Spectra would normally pump on average around 3-3.5 oz, but I get 4-6 oz with the Genie Advanced! It is unreal the difference! I wish I’d know about Pumpables before purchasing my Spectra… I really would like to try the SuperGenie and use the different programs you can load to the pump. I was skeptical because I didn’t think I would see a difference and really only purchased the Genie Advanced for portability, but MAN what a difference! For reference, I yield about 2.5-5 oz per pumping (depending on the time of day), but I get at least 3 oz with the Genie Advanced during my evening pumping session (which is my lowest) and I only get around 2.5 with my Spectra S1. Despite having the correct sizing for my Spectra, I get SO MUCH more milk from my Genie Advanced. After sizing with Pumpables, I found out I actually needed size 17mm inserts (which I then purchased for my Spectra). I originally was using the 24 mm flanges that came with my Spectra S1 pump and my lactation had given me size 19mm inserts. I had no idea how important it was until I started looking into getting the Genie Advanced. That is how strong this pump is! I also really enjoy the liquid shields and am grateful that Pumpables is adamant about correct sizing. Fro reference, I use the level 8 vacuum on cycle 54 on my Spectra S1 and I only have to use the level 3 vacuum on the 1st cycle with the Genie Advanced.

I LOVE the size and power of this portable pump.
Oh how I wish I had a Genie from day one! Not only is the price very reasonable and comparable to other high-end brands or pumps, but the quality is great! I had never heard of it until I started following Tamari Jacob (aka The One With The Pump) and she raved about it. I have used a Spectra S1 per recommendation from many of my friends. I wish I had started with Pumpables from the very beginning! I gave birth 01/16/22 and have breastfed and pumped since then. The flange length is also shorter than I’m used to so that might be why I need the smaller size? Not sure if I will order them because the liquid kit is great but it’s just more pump parts that I don’t need since I can use all my spectra parts no problem. The liquid flanges are great but I found even though I’m a 21mm with my spectra I need the smaller size since the silicone is very flexible. The settings are easy to use & I feel like these settings empty me faster! Highly recommend if you’re a spectra pump user, you will NOT be disappointed!
I read reviews saying the Pumpables have a similar vibration to the spectra which I respond really well to so I was excited to give it a try! I’m obsessed! My output is great, if not better than my spectra & I love that I can use this pump with any flanges! It’s lightweight to wear on my neck with the lanyard & small enough it doesn’t take up a lot of room in my backpack. I’ve been using the spectra S1 & Elvie all of my pumping journey but going back to work I wanted a more portable pump that would also allow me to use traditional flanges.
