inaccurate, would not recommend

Pros
Cons
Inaccurate measurements

Comment:
I'm an Internist and I often ask my patients to monitor their blood pressure at home. When a patient has elevated home readings, I ask them to bring their machine to the office and we compare our mecury device against their machine. This particular brand almost always reads 10-20 mmHg higher than our device so I have recommended against purchasing this brand.

Best Uses
Comment:
The cuff is very difficult to use. I couldn't get it tight enough and the machine gave back error messages. Even though the machine signal showed I had wrapped the cuff correctly and it would inflate, on deflation it gave an error message. Called customer service, who tried to help me, but at the end they suggested I purchase a different product! Unacceptable.

Cannot find small enough cuff for Mom
1/20/2013
Pros
Ac Adaptor Or Batteries
Readings Variance Small
Thumb Guide To Position
Cons
Cuff Rotates When Snugged
Will Not Read Skinny Arms
Best Uses
For Medium To Large Arms
Comment:
It's not easy to snug the cuff on to my average arm with one hand without it spinning out of position, however, I'm guessing they're all like that. Even with my assistance, it just will not get snug enough to read my Mother's skinny arm at all. I think many people will find this unit too difficult to use by themselves.<br />But, after taking several readings on my self with brief breaks in between, I think the varying readouts are probably within the acceptable tolerances. So I would still recommend this if it fits, especially for a permanent convenient in home location.

Great blood pressure machine
05/06/2012
Strength
Great arm cuff with easy to use thumb guide, makes it easy to do one handed. Love the A/B 2 user settings with memory for both, shows day & night average. Can set it to take 1 or 3 test, with 3 te
Weakness
If you lose or otherwise do not have the ac cable then it does eat AA batteries. Thats the only thing I have to say against it and ive been using mine for over a year now
If you ever find this on sale, you should not pass it up! Found mine on a good sale when store closed. This is the best, most accurate blood pressure testing device I have ever used. Much more accurate then other cuff style upper arm cheaper non Omron machines and WAY More accurate then wrist style meters. Just DONT Lose your AC cable or might want to invest in battery company. If you test multiple times a day youll burn through the 4 AA batteries in just around 2 1/2 - 3 weeks, using energizer max, duracell, or rayovac batteries. Ive tried all 3, by the way Max lasted longest
