Top Five Breast Pumps: Avent Isis Manual Breast Pump

Avent Isis Manual Breast Pump
Cost: Inexpensive ($44.06 at babycenter.com)
Just the facts: Runs on people-power (you squeeze the trigger handle). Includes one hand pump, 2 4-oz. bottles and 2 nipples.
Worth noting: Great for occasional pumpers, for situations where you're without a power source, or for when you need total quiet (like on a conference call!). Features the petal-shaped massagers to stimulate milk let-down.
What the experts say: Consumer Reports lists it as one of the top models to consider and Baby Bargains (7th edition) gives in an "A," calling it "the best manual pump on the market."
User raves: Moms love the portability and discreetness, and also rave about the vacuum system, with one Amazon.com user finding that "it works just as well as the hospital grade pumps."
User rants: Some moms complain that the "star" part (the small part inside the horn that directs the milk into the bottle) tends to fall off during pumping if not totally sealed when assembled.
