  "question": "Which Medela breast pump should a shopper choose?",
  "answer": "Medela Pump In Style Pro: The maker says Pump In Style Pro has a pumping pattern similar to Symphony Maintain, 16 levels and a level 3 start. The pump is described as less than 2 pounds, making it portable.\nMedela Sonata: The review reports that the rechargeable battery and handle made it easy to pump away from an outlet at work and at home. The store listing says the pump weighs less than 2.5 lb, has a built-in handle and a rechargeable battery giving 1.5 hours of pumping; the sources disagree on battery life, with the maker saying up to one hour and a review reporting 1.5 to 2 hours.\nMedela Swing Maxi: It is a personal-use electric breast pump with 2-Phase Expression technology. The review reports an aggregated Amazon user rating of about 3.3/5 from 458 reviews and treats it as a low trend for the category.\nMedela Harmony: Medela Harmony is a single manual breast pump for occasional pumping away from baby, travel, or backup to a double electric pump. It needs no electricity or battery.",
