Well that's a bit of a gross generalization, wouldn't you say? Try to imagine for a moment that you might be over looking a very important feature of any breast pump: comfort. This is the main reason my wife chose this pump. It's the only pump on the market that doesn't use air. Air imposes a much different discomfort relative to the Naya, according to my wife. She's very pleased with the product. The price? Sure, expensive. We're lucky to be able to afford it. The app? Don't care about it. Consider us your exception.

Yes. You are right. I didn't give that part enough credits because of the focus on smart pump in their PR and the poorly written article that agitated me more than it should. My bad, apologies.

I think the problem there is that VCs are mainly interested in potential big hits instead of niche markets. From my experience, there are not many complaints on the comfort of the pumps. Or, let me correct that, not at the size of $750,-. If they would drop their price to be high-end but in range of current offerings it might work. Just like any other high-end line of products it's a quality vs price trade-off. Right now the balance is skewed.

Some other issues I foresee:

- they say they save 10 min cleaning after use. Cleaning ours does not even take 10 mins. Disconnect, throw in steamer. Done.

- they use water instead of air. When water stays behind it gives fungus. Doesn't this require more cleaning? (Did not check how it works).

- setting up now takes 10 more minutes if i watch their movies. Filling with water, no bubbles..

P.s. Did your wife try another brand? So is she pleased comparing it to other top brands or just pleased without comparison?

The water can stay in the tubes for up to two weeks. She tried the Medela and the Phillips and while they were decent, ultimately felt the Naya was better for comfort.
