Honorable Mentions Elvie Pump for $550: The Elvie worked just fine, but it didn’t do anything cool enough to warrant such a high price tag. I saw the same results as I had with cheaper pumps, and it didn’t have as many cool features as the similarly priced Willow 3.0. The timer feature is nice, though, as are the fridge- and freezer-ready bottles attached to the wearable pump.
