Hi ladies - I need advice on a good manual pump to buy. Is there a certain brand that is better than another?

I will not be buying an electric pump, so I'm really looking for advice for just manual ones.

Thanks!

I had an Avent Isis that I liked:

I'd recommend the Avent Isis or the Medela Harmony. The benefit to the Harmony is that it's compatible with Medela's electric pumps, also.

I have the Harmony-the horn on it is very comfy-it's not all hard rigid plastic, it's a rubbery softer plastic. The flutter ability of it helps my letdowns to happen very quickly. I also have the Medela single electric pump- (they were both very cheap). I use them at the same time-the manual one helps the letdown to happen almost immediately, and then I can finish pumping within 5 minutes or so.
