My Review 

I had to use this pump when I was trying to build my breast milk supply. It was a hospital grade breast pump. I used it for nearly a year, but it was still cheaper than formula. (About $50 per month.) It was quiet and I could double pump, at the time there weren't a lot of good options for double pumping.

How often did you use a breast pump? 

Daily

Was your breast pump used for more than one pregnancy? 

Yes

Type of Breast Pump 

Electric

Any thing else? 

I had to buy a kit to use it, but that was a one time deal.

Would you recommend this to a friend? 

Yes

Robin Elise Weiss, LCCE, Pregnancy & Childbirth Guide, says:

While this is a multi-user pump that you would typically rent, some mothers are choosing to purchase it. This is because the multi-user pumps are the only breast pumps that are designed to be used for more than one pregnancy. Other breast pumps have motors that are designed to only be used for a short period of time. When used pregnancy after pregnancy, you loose your suction but you can't really tell from listening.
