The breast pump cups are criticized for being made of cheap plastic, and users mention that they are not the same as the original ones that come with the freestyle.
Some users find it hard to get the cups to sit right for constant suction, and others complain that the cups are smaller.
Issues are raised regarding the 21mm flanges not closing securely and being hard to take apart for cleaning, leading to difficulties in maintenance.
Users express dissatisfaction with the new design, mentioning that the seal around the edges isn't tight enough, and the breast shields do not latch securely to the cup.
There are complaints about the cups not being discreet for larger-breasted individuals, and some users report problems with the proprietary air hose connection, milk leaking, and wasted milk during letdown. Overall, the new design is described as poorly built and not as effective as the original cups.
