The convenience of the chat option for customer support is also well-regarded, allowing users to communicate over multiple days and receive personalized assistance. However, some consumers have reported negative experiences, mainly regarding the contact and warranty.

Elvie Stride 1

Breast pump developed a leak and started making loud squeaking noise after 2 months of use. Advised I needed to buy replacement parts as they were out of warranty, but no parts available to buy even from the manufacturer. Customer service is also AI making it really difficult to get a proper resolution when an issue occurs.

I would give Elvie a zero if I could

I would give Elvie a zero if I could. Do not buy this pump or any of their products. Customer service is appalling. Sounds like you are talking to a BOT or AI over WhatsApp.
The product is absolutely useless ! They will not refund you your money, they willl lie and gaslight you and in the end ignore you. The good reviews on here will be fake l!!! Mamas do not waste your money

Do not buy from the elvie store

Do not buy from the elvie store. Buy from Amazon. The return process is horrible. An unopened unit that is deceptively advertised does not mention that the milk and breast are constantly bombarded with infrared, and unable to be turned off is not clearly mentioned in the add. Amazon would have taken an unopened unit back instantly. I have called them two times and sent multiple emails. Now I have to wait 2 more days just to talk to a supervisor. They want me to pay shipping. their customer service should exceed or at least match Amazon. A supervisor should be on the phone immediately not 2 days later. I would never do business directly with this company again. It might be different if I was returning it under different means, opened or unwanted, but this is unopened and returned under a deceptive description. I want my money back now.

Faulty product, Non-Existent support

I received a new Elvie double pump as a gift during my first pregnancy. After a miscarriage and a second healthy delivery, I was able to use the pump two years after it was initially gifted. I LOVED my pump at first and used it exclusively. After 3 months of usage however, one of the pumps would not turn on. There were no lights. Not responding to various charging cables and methods.

I reached out to customer service and found the experience frustrating. They sent me the troubleshooting steps which I had done, and then asked for a reciept to send a replacement pump. Because the initial gift was received two years ago, I don't have a gift reciept for it, and neither did the gift giver.

I did not want a replacement pump, I was just looking for assistance on getting my pump fixed. The rep informed me that "They follow strict policies" and "they don't have a repair department" and that my only options are to find a reciept or buy a new pump. Obviously I would not be buying a new product when I now have such a negative few of the current one, so the suggestion is entirely off-base.

Given that the unit costs $500+, I would have anticipated better solutions than "Turn it on and off again" and sending new part. I would have anticipated an RMA department, or local partnerships for repair support if the company is unable to stand up a whole department. I would also expect better recordkeeping/tracking of units to be able to trace back purchases.

One thing that was good is that it felt like there was a real human chatting on the other end rather than canned copy/paste or AI responses.

When the product works, its great. When it doesn't, it doesn't and there isn't much recourse. I will not be using Elvie products again.

Really disappointed with the customer…

Really disappointed with the customer service. I messaged on WhatsApp regarding where I can purchase a replacement pump shield as mine melted in the microwave. Replacement shields are sold out everywhere in the UK, but the person I was speaking to on WhatsApp was clearly not actually reading my messages or responding to my query but just following a script about the warranty. I wasn’t trying to claim anything, I just wanted to better understand the inventory situation. I was sent multiple lists of retailers, some of which no longer exist and the others don’t have the product. I asked for my query to be escalated to the UK customer care team to no avail. Extremely disappointing service. It seems like I’m going to need to buy a whole new pump and I certainly won’t be buying an Elvie.

Fantastic service! Contacted Elvie to raise an issue with the hub (I'd purchased 6 months ago) of my pump and within 2 days, I had received a replacement. The customer service advisor was extremely friendly and helpful - absolutely fantastic service!

Quick to respond and take care of my issue

I appreciate the prompt responses I consistently received. Customer service was courteous and kind. While we couldn’t actually resolve the leaking issues I was experiencing, they were able to replace most of my Elvie Stride 2 parts.

I will add, however, that it’s taking way too long to make these replacement parts available for purchase. It’s more efficient to be able to alternate pump parts for each pumping session instead of having to wait for each part of air dry or towel dry (which is less sanitary).

I only use my Elvie stride to pump - it works so well for me so when my hub died I reached out to the company and the woman was so helpful and responsive. She was able to send me a new hub within a few days even though my warranty was expired and I am so thankful! I would recommend Elvie to any mom as I believe your products are top notch!

15 months pp using the elvie stride, and this is by far the best mobile pump + customer service I have ever experienced! They really understand the stress of breastfeeding, and twice they helped replace breast pump pieces (even when it was past the warranty dates) - with them literally arrived the next day. No disturbances to the pumping process

She was very helpful and walked me through the steps to verify the original had a bad battery. I only had started using it for 4 days and I would die so quickly. The new one can in yesterday and I haven’t had any issues.

breast shield broke within 10 days with no replacement in site

Pump works okay but my breast shield broke within 2 weeks of use and no replacement shields are available anywhere! This will greatly impact supply as I’m only 2 weeks and 2 days PP and trying to maintain pumping rhythms daily!

There are no replacements available on Elvie’s website or partner sites such as Amazon! Terrible service.

Although it broke in 2 weeks of use, I bought the pump in a special for Black Friday last year, therefore the warranty for washable parts is expired as it’s over 90 days delivery, even though it broke on the 10th day of using the pump!

Terrible experience 😭

Overpriced and unreliable

I purchased the double electric breast pump in 2021 when having my first baby. I used them a few times and they worked well. However when coming to use them recently after my second baby I found one had stopped working. Customer services were unhelpful and not willing to check the product or offer replacement.

Do not buy this product

Purchased the Elvie pump thinking it was the best on the market. It worked great for about two weeks. I’ve countlessly emailed about the hub not charging and it takes for ever for them to respond and they’ve said they can not find the transaction so can’t do anything about it. My baby is now 12 weeks old and I am still back and forth emailing to prove I bought it from their site. So disappointed! Will not be recommending this brand to any friends.

Waste of money

Very disappointed! Spent a lot of money on the stride to encounter problems after a couple of months.

When contacted they said you have to purchase new parts every 3 months, which seems crazy for the price.

When looking to purchase the new parts there was nowhere to buy them separately.

Wouldn’t recommend!
