The sleekest model in the Spectra line-up, the 9 Plus was designed for busy pumpers seeking portability and performance. Small, discreet, rechargeable, and weighing less than 250g, the 9 Plus is full of unique features that make pumping a more natural part of the nursing process.
What features does the Spectra 9 Plus have?
- The Spectra 9 Plus comes with a complete double kit so you can double pump – pumping both breasts at once saves so much time, which as a busy parent trying to find time to express, you will really appreciate. Double pumping also ramps up levels of prolactin (the milk producing hormone) in your blood, so is better for supporting milk supply.
- The Spectra 9 Plus has a nozzle for each milk collection kit, making it easy to swap from single to double pumping. Just attach a milk collection kit to both nozzles if you will be double pumping, or if you only want to single pump, you can just close off the second nozzle.
- Letdown mode – switch with a touch to the letdown mode, which is a light, quick mode designed to speed the start of milkflow, just the way a baby does. This will get you expressing faster and help your body get on board with the job of expressing milk.
- Easy adjustment of suction strength and cycle speed together – touch button controls allow you to adjust suction strength and cycle speed with one touch. As you increase the suction, the speed will slow down [see the S1 or S2 if you want even more control over cycle program].
- Inbuilt rechargeable battery – use your Spectra 9 Plus while plugged into mains, or just use it wherever you like from its inbuilt rechargeable battery.
- LCD display so you can easily see the vacuum and cycle settings. There’s a battery indicator so you know how much charge you have left on the battery AND there’s a timer so you can keep track of how long you’ve been expressing.
- The Spectra 9 Plus is Spectra’s most portable pump – lightweight and slimline, it will slip easily into your bag.
- Closed system – like all Spectra breast pumps, the Spectra 9 Plus has a closed system, which means that there is no way for milk to get into the pump motor. Milk particles in the pump motor can lead to the growth of mould and is a potential source of virus transmission.
- As always with Spectra breast pumps, the Spectra 9 Plus has high performance vacuum with maximum suction of 300mmHg.
What are the negatives?
- Doesn’t provide as much flexibility over the pump program as the S1 or S2 (but still more than other pumps).
- Is noisier than the S1 and S2
- If you are exclusively pumping or needing to rely on a pump to establish supply, it is recommended you use a hospital grade breast pump – i.e. the S2 or S1.
- This pump will not give you the same results as a Hospital Grade Pump, and if you have been using a Hospital Grade Pump, you may not respond the same or as well with the S 9 plus
