Hmmmmm. I love them both, but you know, there will always be "the one" that you will love more. So, which is it? Cimilre F1 or Spectra 9+?

I will go straight to comparing these two. If you need individual description of each, feel free to check my review on this pumps: My review of Cimilre F1, My review of Spectra 9+.
Comparison:

from Babymama, Spectra USA and Cimilre
Basically, 9+ outperforms F1 in terms of the number of usage per day and its weight, while F1 boasts its hours of usage that can reach up to 2 hours. It is really hard to find the technicalities of this two pumps as the references I found have different information.
Advantages and disadvantages of Cimilre F1:
- Softer Buttons
- Longer pumping hours
- Last setting when used will be the first setting in next session (no cycle).
- Stronger Suction
Advantages and disadvantages of Spectra 9+:
- Easier to hold
- Lighter
- Up to 12 hours of usage
- Last setting from the expression mode will be the first setting in next session (no cycle).
- Can see the entire of hours the pump was used. (Power on, massage, up, down, down, up, massage)
- Has a trusted dealer here in PH where you can repair and check the performance of the pump.
Noise: For the noise, they are both ultra quiet, but I love the sound of Cimilre F1 more. Please note in the video that the cellphone is really near the pump so it sounds noisy.

Cimilre F1:
F1 and 9+:
Verdict: Cimilre F1! haha, I don't know why but I feel that it is stronger than Spectra 9+. According to the table above, F1 can take more than 280mmHg while 9+ is up to 290mmHg, so I believe that is the rationale behind that (Well, I believe F1 exceeded 290mmHg). But, if you are looking for something more handy and you are also after the product maintenance, you can opt to buy 9+ instead. Besides, you can increase the level of the expression for 9+. My setting for F1 is at 6 and for my 9+ is 7, so, it is not much of a difference right? I also find F1 more comfortable for me since I like it rough (no, not what you think, this is for the pump) I never had problems with F1 so far, however, I feel like it is taking me too long to drain.
Please note that what is good to me may not be good for you. As they say, finding a pump is like finding a partner, you have to try and try until you find the one that suits you.
