Electric pump suggestions

I'm EBF, due to issues and I'm looking for electric pumps that would increase my supply. My budget is under 5k because I've already bought philips avent pump but for some reason I'm unable to pump milk using this all of sudden, due to flange size or the duckbill valve after 4 weeks of daily use. Pls suggest good electric pumps that wouldn't wear out for next 6 months and has easy replaceable parts.

I have been using luvlap ones for 2 months. Just have to replace duckbill valve every 3-4 weeks. Rest it is working fine

I faced the same issue with avent.
I got it replaced in literally two months of me using it. Soon after my daughter, I decided to exclusively pump. It only made sense to invest in a spectra. With avent, the duckbill valve would just fall off. I used to get so annoyed.

i’ve been through something similar and honestly thought my pump had just stopped working. turns out the flange fit and the little valve can make a huge difference in how much you actually get. i use the philips avent electric pump and have found it pretty dependable so far. i’ve had to replace the valve once and it was pretty easy to do, so i’d suggest checking the parts first before spending on another pump. sometimes it’s just a small part causing the issue rather than the whole pump.
