They’re other people’s criticisms. I’ve never even owned an Evebra. I owned a Brava at one point, an almost identical system. I liked Brava, but the pump is delicate. Apparently the Evebra pump is even worse, because it breaks constantly and has to be replaced. Several people have posted about their experiences with the Evebra pump on here. Evebra does seem to be a pretty respectable company at least. So far they’ve been replacing the pumps quickly without blaming the customers or being difficult. That’s not good enough though, because taking breaks from pumping can set back your progress by a lot. Hopefully they’ll be able to get better quality pumps soon. If they don’t, I can’t recommend buying from them, unless you’re comfortable with buying and using a different pump while you wait for Evebra to send you a new one. On the other hand, you might be able to just suck the air out, and use an airlock or a simple clip to seal the tubing. That method has never worked for me though, even in combination with the Brava cups (very similar to the Evebra cups) that are much, much better at holding a seal than other styles of cup. IME, the cups always lose suction as I move around slightly in my sleep, and without a bra to hold the cups in place, and a “smart” pump that kicks back on when it senses a loss of suction, they just fall off. I’ve tried putting a bra over the cups too, but that didn’t help maintain suction. It just stopped them falling and possibly cracking. I hope that made sense.

If you’re interested in the Evebra, it MIGHT be worth it to buy a set of airlock Noogleberry cups, tubing, their silicone padding rings (their foam rings suck), and a massively oversized zip-front sports bra instead. You can just suck the air out by mouth. That method didn’t work for me, like I said, but it has worked for other people, and it’s by far the cheapest way to vacuum pump while sleeping.
