Medela Symphony Pump - how much?

Does anyone know how much it costs to buy a Medela Symphony Pump?

Thanks.

when i looked into it 7 months ago, to buy it was something like $9500 + extra for accessories. we decided to rent for 3 months instead at a total cost of about $1200 + $500 for accessories which you had to purchase.


i would definetely try it out before buying, because that pump wasn't very ineffective for me.

Thanks dizzydog, mind if I ask you where did u rent the pumps? So far I know I can rent it from the Matilda hospital or from Annerley Midwives...

In HK, you can rent from Annerley at the same price as you can rent from Meridian directly (but get better and more personal customer service from the midwives at Annerley!)


Alternatively you can get the Pump In Style advanced, which also has the 'two-phase' method.


You can only order this from the USA and buy a transformer/converter for HK.


I rented the symphony first time, but am getting the new Advanced for this time as I know I need it to be more portable.


I contacted a few companies and finally ordered from:

She was very helpful, and provided great customer service. They shipped it to my parents in the USA, and they brought it to me. But they do ship internationally for the actual cost from the US Post Office plus USD 3.00 extra.

They also sell the Symphony - you might find buying in the USA, paying for shipping and buying a transformer is actually cheaper than buying here...
