Cimilre F1 Pump: Review :)

Hello pumping mamas! I know you already know about pumping, so I don't think I need to put a very detailed intro of what is a pump and the basics of pumping (truth is, I do not have time for that lol). Anyhow, for those who are just curious, we are talking about breastpump. Yezz, the one that is getting milk from the mother's breast so it can be consumed later on by our lo (little one).

If I am not mistaken, Cimilre is under Spectra then later on produced their own products.

I bought my pump from Baby and Bliss, I don't think they are still operating today but I got this for P5440 as it is on its introductory price. Price range as of now P 6,140 to P 6,880. 

This is a not so detailed review about Cimilre F1 breastpump. This is gonna be so simple, if you have further questions, do not hesitate to contact me. I am always willing to answer your questions :).

First impression: Based on the appearance, it is so cute as it is shiny, one button is pink and it is a square with rounded edges. I love the appearance, the buttons are silicone - plastic, it is soft. 

Here is a short overview form Cimilre Catalogue:

Set includes:

1 Cimilre F1 pump motor

1 Power Adaptor

2 Flanges (the one you put on your breasts)

2 Backflow preventor (attached to the back part of the flange)

2 Valves (attached to the bottom of the flange in which the milk flows)

2 Tubings

2 150 ml Collection bottles with sealing disc, nipple and travel caps.

Note: The flange supports wide-neck bottles, you need to buy a wide neck to narrow neck connector to use it to narrow neck bottles. Please also confirm it first to your seller because some include it in the package.

Pictures: 1st picture is a flange with backflow preventor and valve attached to it.

First pump using Cimilre F1:

I usually get 4 to 5 oz during that time, that was October 2017 btw (I once was an over-supplier ):]. Surprisingly, I got an extra 1 or about 2 oz more using my F1 compared to my previous pump rh228. I am still using it until today and it still has the same performance as before. To note, my flange size should be 17mm but I used 24mm flange on this. 

I don’t know what to say next haha so here are the pros and cons of the pump:

---

Pros:

• Rechargeable

• Handy

• Strong Suction

• Easy to clean design

• All the ones written in the features above are met.

• Cheapest among the branded dual pumps. 

• Quiet motor

• Full charge can be used about 5 times with 30 minute each pumping time.

Cons:

• No cycle, the last setting when you turn it off will be the setting when turn on. 

• No definite number of usage in a day. I am still looking for it, some say only 5 times a day and some say it can be used 10 times a day. But to be safe I only use it twice a day, while at home. (If you know please send me a message).

Pump on my hand:

Verdict: I love this pump, its a 9/10 for me. The motor is strong yet soft on the boobs. I did not feel any pain while using this pump. The expression mode is until 10 but I am only using 6 max because the motor is so strong. Actually, it became hard for me to write this review since I really do not have much to say about it because I am really satisfied.

Thank you for reading, please don't hesitate to message me, I will be very much willing to answer your questions or incorporate your suggestions. I can also use it to put a FAQ on this page. Thank you!

I will also review Specta 9s and Wisemom Pamona Twin Motor Pump. Thank you!
