Is it easy to pump one-handed with this manual pump?

Yes it is, but my hand would get tired....I ended up having to rent a hospital grade pump because I became so engorged.

One handed is possible, but as with my electric pump, I found I had better output if I massaged while pumping.

Very easy! I thought it would be difficult because I'd never used a manual pump before but it doesn't take much effort at all.

Once you get all set up with good suction you can pump one handed. I generally used two I guess... but I know I could with one.

Yes, easier than others I have tried. This is the best manual pump I have found. I prefer it over my electric pumps.

For me it was not easy to pump one handed maybe because my breast was heavy and I needed to stabilize with other hand so pump could suction down. Otherwise it would lose suction.

yes it does! That being said, I recently got a single electric pump for this very reason but it didn't prove as efficient or comfortable as the manual pump. After a handful of uses (and learning how to pump more efficiently) it's not so bad.

Yes you only need one hand. All you do is place it on top of the can and push the button. The opener will do the rest.

No unfortunately it isn't a "hand free" type of pump. BUT i will say this i would pump for maybe 5-10 mins and was done. I'd get about 3-4 ounces from each side and it worked great. Was really fast and comfortable.

You could possibly do it one handed, but it would take a bit to get it on and started I would think. It doesn't take to the can easily.

I am almost totally handicapped and I can do it with one hand if it isn't full. I empty when half full. Hope this helps

Quite easy with one hand. I hooked it on something and it popped out unexpectedly a couple times.

You can disconnect the one tube so you can pump only one if you want (although I've found a manual pump is a lot easier to use while nursing at the same time!)

You can do it with one hand but it is a very cheaply made product that likely won't hold up long. We are very disappointed with the cheapness of the materials as they are a very lightweight plastic.

I use a Coleman battery operated pump. I have never used a hand pump. It might take you some time.

I have used both a hand sprayer and a small pump sprayer. It just depends on how much you have to do or if you just get tired of squeezing the hand type

Yes, you have to keep pumping, just use long easy pulls on the handle. it is pretty efficient.

It is simple. Just unscrew pump handle while pushing down on it. Then fill with liquid being careful not to fill above the mark for maximum fill. Good luck.

You can open it up relatively easy with one hand and close it with one hand as well. Very easy to do but be carefully when you close it with one hand or you could hurt yourself.

I own one, and as far as I can tell there is only a manual pump on the top. It's very easy to use, though. I use it every week.

It's super easy. The only thing with the tubing is to let it keep pumping after you're done to get rid of any fluid in the lines. Otherwise, that's the only issue I have with mine.

Yes. As long as you're able to hold the bottle steady with one hand, you can pump the bottle opener with the other hand.
