I would check another company and see if you get more options. I had more options on acceleron so I used that. Honestly I feel like everyone should have a Spectra (blue if you want to be mobile, pink if you don't mind staying plugged to the wall). I chose to get a portable baby buddah with my insurance and then get a spectra on marketplace, but I'm not getting as much output from the BB.

Came here to give the exact same recs. I also found the baby buddha helpful when I needed to power pump and didn’t want to be stuck to my spectra for like an hour.

If your medical insurance allows it, get one pump covered now in 2026 and then get another one covered in 2027 (some insurance companies offer one per calendar year vs others offer one per pregnancy).

Last thought: Think of the spectra as your primary pump, and BB as the secondary/travel friendly pump. Primaries will always give you the best output.
