To those that have owned both manual and electric pumps: Do you feel the manual pumps are quieter than the electric ones? Thanks!

I have both and I believe the manual pump is quieter. Also, the manual one works great.

No, there is no manual pump. you have to unlock it (button) then push the dispense button.

You can do one at a time. It has a switch on the air tubes to choose either both pumps or just one pump. I'm very happy with this pump, but if you know you'll only ever pump one at a time, you can always just get a single electric pump that'll probably be cheaper.

I have also used the black and decker,it is loud. This pump is small approximately 6 to 8 inches long it is much quieter than the black and decker I would not say super quiet but it is not loud. I prefer it over the other pump

This pump will work at a low press.of5psi up to 100psi+, your electric switch should be set to a cut in-out pressure somewhere between 20-50 psi this is an EXCELLENT pump for the money, you will have to figure out how to plumb it as there are very little in the way of diagrams that come with it.

I'm not sure. I think they have been around in Korea for quite some time. I bought mine about a year and a half ago and really do like it. I feel like it pumps just as well as the pump in style, except it is manual instead of electric.

I absolutely love my manual pump because I can take it anywhere. I use my Medela manual pump at work. I like that it is easy to clean, only 4 parts to put together, gives me privacy because it is quite compared to the electric pumps. The only con is that the medela manual breast pump is meant to be used occasionally not daily or it will start to lose suction.

the pump noise varies on surface and what diameter hose you have on it as that seems to conduct noise also (pump is louder with bigger tubbing I have noticed. I personally have is outside under a bucket so its pretty quiet in that case :) I know several people that could sleep through it, I could not, and I would think it would be too loud for a bedroom, this is a great pump but its definitely better a ways away from sleeping areas.

I think it is definitely quieter than other models. I have had 2 other machines and this one is decidedly quieter, not silent but more of a medium soft buzz.

Not an electric pump. The pump is built into the bed. All you have to do is step on it and it fills itself with air.

It includes a built in electric pump and you can also use a manual pump as well if electrical power is not available.

I had two Barnes Pumps SP50AX in a sump pit in the basement. I replaced one of them by a Zoeller 98. I did not hear the Barnes from my bedroom. I DO hear the Zoeller. It doesn't prevent me from sleeping. But it is definitely noisier.

seems to have been answered already, but this is louder than my old pumpmaster 760 or my daisy powerline 880. so loud, in fact, that i do not shoot it in the backyard. bummer too, cuz that is why i got it.

Yes, very nice. Motor is less stressed compared to 115 and the amperage draw is less as well in comparison. Almost a month and I'm still pleased with this pump.

You will need electric an electric pump but I recommend you do not and just return the item... it will just bust in a week or two.

Yes it does work manually but then just buy the manual pump which is about 30 dollars I think. Sorry don't remember the voltage but I think must be 9 volts but I think it should be easily available in Philips website.

Our pump works perfectly and is very quiet. It sounds as though you may have a faulty pump.
