Manual Breast Pump question?

I have an electric breast pump, used it for 8 months now and it’s annoying, loud and not as efficient as it was in the beginning. Originally I bought the Gerber manual pump, it was useless and I threw it away after only two weeks. I’d like to go back to manual for ease of use, less noise.
The Target close to me has the Avent ISIS regularly .00 marked down to .00! Perfect opportunity to switch to manual but I’d like opinions on that particular pump since I had such a terrible experience with my first manual pump. Thanks in advance!

LOVED LOVED LOVED the Aven Isis!!!!!!!!!!!! Used it with my last two little guys it was great!!!!!!!!!!!
Not sure how much longer you have to pump but if you can afford an electric pump, buy a Madela Pump In Style.
DO NOT, however, buy one used.

I also bought the Gerber and threw it in the trash, what a waste!
I will only by Medela from now on, but that’s personal preference.

I couldnt use a manual. even though thier soooo much cheaper. I hate sitting there having to do it. I just use a cheap evenflo single electric one my mom bought me
I used the Avent Manual and I loved it. It has a stronger suction and it was great. Of course, your hand will cramp up, but it is good to have. I used it at work when my electric pump was broken and while it took longer, it did get teh job done. I wouldn’t recommend it for daily use though. The plastic part that attaches to the bottle seems a bit fragile and can crack. In that case, you’d have to buy a whole new set!
I used this avent manual and I loved it however i didn’t have enough milk so i had to stop breastfeeding.
I have the Avent ISIS and I love it. It’s sooo easy to use, even with one hand. I haven’t had a problem with any of the parts cracking. I wish I could have bought mine at that price.
