Ameda pumps are a great value and compete
directly with Medela breast pumps. In our opinion the Ameda
Purely Yours Pump is a better value than the Medela Pump In
Style models. This is mostly based upon the price difference.
At up to $100 more than the Ameda we just don't see that much
difference - if any.
