Whether it features an electric pump, or you pump manually using a handle.
Single or double pump

Size of pump
Given as maximum dimensions LxHxW in cm. Overall size is of the pump unit only.
Power cord (cm)
Length in cm of power cord (if electric) for the main pump.
Battery life

The material the breast shield is made from
Adjustable expressing levels
Whether the pump has a variable speed of expressing or not. This is usually found on electric models. Manual models will have one setting only.
Vacuum range (kPa)
The higher the number the more versatile the breast pump is because there's more options to find an expressing level that suits you. Manual pumps do not have an adjustable vacuum level, like electric pumps, but you can vary the degree of expressing by how much you pump the handle.
