## What reviewers say

Only one whitelisted tester, NYT Wirecutter, hands-on reviews the exact S2 Plus, naming it a co-top pick and 'the same pump' as the S1 Plus minus the battery. Verdict: extracts milk as effectively as any pump tested, quiet (33 dB at 3 ft), cheaper than the S1 Plus, and simple to clean — but tethered to a wall outlet. (Based on 1 review, 1 lab-tested, 2026-01-28.)

Praised: Extracts milk as effectively as any pump tested and is consistently favored over Medela in user surveys; Same performance as the pricier S1 Plus for less money; Quiet motor (33 dB at 3 ft) and simple to clean, with only three parts touching milk; Highly customizable, with 12 suction strengths and independent speed control.
Flagged: Must stay plugged into a wall outlet — no battery, so no portability; Bulkier than many double electric pumps and ships without a carry bag.
Disagreement: Single-source: only Wirecutter reviews the exact plug-in S2 Plus, so no cross-source corroboration is possible. The lone noise measurement (33 dB) was taken on the S1 Plus, which Wirecutter states is the identical pump minus the rechargeable battery.
