I've seen a few reviews on this board of the Medela Freestyle pump but would like to better understand how it compares to the PISA. I have been planning to buy the PISA but just saw the Freestyle and wonder if it would be a better choice for me.

I'll be going back to work when baby's 2-3 months and hope to bf and pump until at least 6 months, ideally 1 year. I take public transportation and sometimes travel for work, so having a lighter pump seems ideal.

Do they pump at the same strength? Is one more efficient than the other? How heavy and convenient is the PISA compared to the Freestyle when you consider bag + pump + accessories + bottles? Is one easier to use? Any major difference in the look of the bags, in terms of professional appearance and durability?

Thanks!

I used the PISA with DS and the freestyle with DD. I thought that the freestyle was stronger and pumped better for me. It's lighter, smaller, bag seemed durable to me. I really love this pump!
