Eufy S1 Pro & Eufy E10 Breast Pumps | Wearable pump with heating element???
Today, we’re diving into two exciting new wearable breast pumps: the Eufy S1 and the Eufy E10. These pumps hit the market about six months ago, and I have to say, they’ve got some innovative features that are worth talking about. So, let’s break them down, see what’s new, and figure out if they’re right for you!

The Eufy S1
Let’s kick things off with the Eufy S1, the fancier of the two models. This pump is all about innovation, and honestly, some of its features made me do a double take—because we’ve never seen anything like this in a breast pump before.
What’s New and Exciting?
- Heating Element Inside the Flange:
Yes, you read that right—this pump has a built-in heating element in the flange! Studies show that warmth during pumping can help improve milk flow and production, and Eufy has brought that concept right into their pump design. I’ll admit, when I first heard about this, I was a little nervous—heat and skin don’t always mix well. But after thoroughly inspecting the pump (and yes, even cutting into one to see how it’s made—don’t try this at home!), I’m super impressed with the safety features. It doesn’t get too hot, and there are multiple fail-safes in place to prevent overheating. - Unique Flange Material:
The flange has a soft, velvety texture I’ve never seen before in any other pump. It’s not sticky like traditional silicone, which makes it feel more comfortable and less likely to irritate your skin. It’s designed to support the breast while allowing the nipple freedom to move for effective pumping. I love it. - Charging Case:
This is another standout feature. The S1 comes with an optional charging case that lets you charge both pumps at the same time. Just pop them in, and they magnetically click into place. This is a game changer, especially if you’re someone who always forgets to charge one pump at a time (guilty!). The case itself has a built-in battery, so you can charge the pumps on the go, whether you’re traveling or just out and about. It also acts as a secure carrying case—practical and stylish.
How Does It Work?
The Eufy S1 is super versatile. You can use it as a straightforward pump with the buttons on top (power, plus/minus for suction, heating element control, and mode switch), or you can connect it to the smart app for more advanced functionality.
Inside the app, you’ll find four preset rhythms to choose from:
- Max Mode: Designed for moms wanting maximum milk output. It cycles through stimulation and expression modes multiple times to encourage three letdowns in a 30-minute session.
- Standard Mode: Mimics a traditional electric pump. It starts in stimulation mode and then switches to expression mode. While this is fine, I don’t typically recommend it because most moms need multiple letdowns for optimal output.
- Gentle Mode: Great for moms with sensitive nipples. It reduces the time spent in stimulation mode, which can sometimes feel too intense.
- Natural Mode: This mode alternates between stimulation and expression every five minutes, which is most similar to what I’d recommend for efficient pumping.
You can also customize cycle speeds, suction levels, and even turn the heating element on or off from the app. It’s a “set it and forget it” kind of pump, which can be helpful on busy days when multitasking is the name of the game.
Price and Value
The S1 comes in two versions:
If you can swing it, I’d recommend the Pro version. The charging case is worth the extra $110 for the convenience alone, especially if you’re on the go often.
The Eufy E10
Now let’s talk about the Eufy E10, which is the more affordable of the two. While it doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of the S1, it’s still a solid option for moms looking for a wearable pump that’s simple and effective.
Key Features of the Eufy E10
- Soft Silicone Flange:
While the E10 doesn’t have the same velvety flange as the S1, it does feature a soft silicone flange that’s comfortable and easy to use. It also comes with a protective cover to keep it clean when not in use. - Compact and Lightweight Design:
The E10 is slightly smaller and lighter than the S1, making it a great choice if you’re looking for something discreet and portable. - Affordable Price Point:
At $169 (and often with a coupon for an additional $20 off), the E10 is a budget-friendly option that doesn’t skimp on performance.
How Does It Compare?
The E10 doesn’t have the heating element or app connectivity of the S1, but it still delivers reliable performance. The suction and cycle speeds are effective for most moms, and it’s easy to use with simple buttons for power, suction adjustment, and mode switching.
Things to Consider with Both Pumps
- Replacement Parts Availability:
Whenever you’re buying a new pump, especially one that’s relatively new to the market, it’s important to check whether replacement parts are available and affordable. I had a bit of trouble finding replacement parts for these pumps on their website, so that’s something to keep an eye on. - Seal Quality:
Both pumps require a tight seal around the flange to function properly. Make sure you double-check that everything is securely in place before you start pumping.
Final Thoughts: Are the Eufy Pumps Worth It?
Overall, I’m really impressed with the innovation Eufy has brought to the wearable pump market. The Eufy S1 is packed with features we’ve never seen before—like the heating element and charging case—and it’s quickly becoming one of my top recommendations for wearable pumps. The Eufy E10 is a great budget-friendly option that still performs well, making it a good choice if you’re looking to save some money.
If I were choosing for myself, I’d go for the S1 with the charging case because the extra convenience is totally worth it, and I personally find heat to be really helpful during pumping. But both pumps are solid choices, depending on your needs and budget.
