Did the pump break for anyone? Mine broke after pumping 4 children's balls.

The pump itself has not broken. However, the needle broke as they do when your child twists it. I have used it on multiple balls.

I switched from drinkwell water fountains due to the problem of the pump breaking...and was hopeful...but yet again...this pump has also failed :-(

I might have to get a new pump because this one has blown the fuse 3 times now. Cool pump if it weren't for that problem...

a very similar thing happened to me, I did not feel that it was worth the bother to send it back. we had ours for 3 days, and it burst. I cant give you an answer for them. I would not want another one. the first one was enough for me! I wonder if the technology on this type of hose is ready for the market.

I've used this product for years, about 4 per year and have only had issues with the pump once. My solution is to buy another and save the pumps which work so you'll always have a backup.

This just happened to us. Our 15 month old was just pounding on it and it started playing the same song. We can't get it to do it again. Very odd.

Sorry, but mine broke right away. I was able to use it for a little while and then it wouldn't turn on. I do not recommend this machine...AT ALL!

Nope! Check out my review of this model to find the other model I bought when this one's globe broke early on, just as others' reviews warned. Sorry if it happened to you, too!

I will be honest with you, ours was broken when we got it , then they had no more. All i read are bad reviews on the product and the company. good luck

the pump was great while i was using it...i have now stopped breastfeeding unfortunately but the memory function does come in quite handy...only thing is be careful of the connecting powerpoint plug...the one that comes with the pump is uk or us fit i think and because i live in australia i had to attach a different power outlet cord which i happened to have one spare!

My pump failed the first time after 3 months of occasional use. I had it repaired, seals, cleaned, desiccant, 3 times and now it sits in my basement as an ornament (or target).

I had mine 3 months before it stopped sucking. It wasn't as high of quality as the Medela pump, but I thought that I'd just deal with it since insurance paid for it. Well, it really messed my supply up, so I got a Medela anyways. HUGE difference. I went from barely getting 2oz out to getting 4-5oz a pumping.

it's not broken, i don't understand why you would think it would add air upon pulling and pushing.. 1 way pushes the air in. then a checkvalve seals it so it doesn't suck the air out of the balloon whlie it fills the pump back with air when u pull it... it's basic physics. pushing creates pressure, which pushes air into the ballon, pulling creates a void/vacuum which sucks air into the pump to refill it. it takes like 2 seconds to fill a ballon regardless do i can't comprehend your malfunction.

I just opened mine. Make sure the pump pin is screwed on tightly and that you stick the pin halfway into the ball. I had air escaping and my husband made those two adjustments and my ball is firm and has retained its firmness.

Definitely. With my 2nd child I just bought new breast shields and connector/membrane kit, since it had been a couple years since I had used it and the plastic pieces felt a bit worn out - but the pump itself should still be perfectly fine. You can order the replacement parts on Amazon. I think it ended up costing around $35.

Mine did the same thing. You will have to take it in to be repaired. It just starts to break down in many ways after using it just a few times. It's a very poor quality machine.

Ours is still attached and working fine. I told the kids up front not to push down hard on it...the on/off click requires little pressure. I'm assuming the broken buttons were the result of to much pressure.
