Frequent Bp Monitoring
Comment:
Very convenient for comfortable, frequent B/P monitoring. Once you get used to the right position it's a snap. It's fast, has good memory and irregular heartbeat features. I like it much better than an older arm cuff model, this is more accurate and consistant.
How long have you owned it:
One-to-three months
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Comment:
I've used this model for almost a year and love it. Though it can be difficult at times to locate the best arm position, it's still the best monitor for me. I bought one for my mother and she also loves it. What matters most to me is accuracy and I periodically take mine to the doctor's office with me. The blood pressure from the Omron matches the doctor's office.
How long have you owned it:
More than six months
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Comment:
I've tried four or five different blood pressure monitors, both cuff and wrist types, and this one is not only the easiest to use and smallest to store, it's the only one that agreed very closely with my doctor's.<br /><br />I don't use the memory feature, though, as I use the iPhone app Blood Pressure Companion (which is excellent, too, BTW).
