Beurer BY 70 Double Electric Breast Pump

The Beurer BY 70 Double Electric Breast Pump is a traditional electric pump that lets you express from one or both breasts, with a manual pump included in the same kit for use at home or when you're out and about. It uses vacuum technology to draw milk, and because it can run either from the mains adapter or on batteries, it works whether or not you're near a plug point — a useful thing to know if you're planning around load-shedding or pumping away from home.

What sets this pump apart is how adjustable it is: it offers 10 stimulation levels and 10 pumping levels, so you can dial in a rhythm and strength that feels comfortable for you rather than being stuck with a fixed setting. A memory function then holds onto your preferred combination, so you don't have to reset everything at the start of each session.

Single, double, or manual expression

You can pump one side at a time or both at once. Expressing from both breasts together lets you get a session done in a single sitting, which many parents find helps reduce active pumping time when they're pumping regularly or fitting sessions around work. The included manual pump handle gives you a hand-powered backup for quick or on-the-go expressing, without needing power at all.

Adjustable stimulation and pumping

The two-phase approach separates the way the pump starts a session from the way it expresses:

• Stimulation levels: Ten settings designed to imitate a baby's initial, faster feeding response at the start of a session.
• Pumping levels: Ten settings for the expression phase, so you can adjust suction for comfort. Maximum suction is rated at -0.39 bar.
• Memory function: Stores your chosen stimulation and pumping combination so your preferred mode is ready next time.

Comfort and the anti-colic bottles

The pump comes with silicone cushions in small and medium sizes, with a soft-touch surface intended for a gentle, comfortable fit against the breast — worth keeping in mind, since a comfortable fit matters more to easy expressing than raw suction does. The bottles use an anti-colic system that is designed to help reduce colic and discomfort in infants, and they're compatible with Avent and NUK bottles thanks to the included adapter, so you can pair them with teats you may already be using.

Display, power and everyday use

A clear, illuminated 7 cm LCD shows your settings and your usage time, so you can keep track of how long you've been pumping. The pump switches off automatically after 30 minutes and has a battery indicator so you know where you stand on power. It runs on the supplied mains adapter or on 4 x 1.5 V AA batteries, and it sits on non-slip, abrasion-resistant rubber feet. Everything packs into the included tote bag, which keeps the parts together and makes it easier to move between home and elsewhere. The accessories can be disinfected as part of your cleaning routine.

Best For

The Beurer BY 70 Double Electric Breast Pump is a great option for parents who:

• Want the flexibility to express from one side, both sides, or by hand from a single kit
• Prefer fine control over stimulation and suction rather than a few fixed settings
• Need a pump that runs on batteries as well as mains power
• Value being able to pack everything into one bag for use at home or on the move

It may not be the best fit if you're looking for the most compact, wearable in-bra pump you can use discreetly under clothing.
