Is First Years or Evenflo Breast Pumps Any Good?

I know that Medellas are sold in Target but I also seen other brands. Is there an "off" brand ie, Evenflo, First Years, etc. that is comparable but without the price??

In Need of a Good, Reliable Breast Pump

At my baby shower I recieved a 'the first years MiPump' and a week after I started using it the power just stopped working so I took it back to the store and exchanged it for another one of the same brand.

I have a budget of around $150.
