Once you reach middle age it's a good idea to start watching you blood pressure, as it's a reliable predictor of developing problems. An accurate automated blood pressure monitor makes checking your BP easy, and this one is about as easy as I've found.

I didn't even bother with the instructions. I just pulled the cuff over my left arm (LEFT ARM is printed right on the cuff), lined up the pulse sensor with my artery- there's a diagram on the cuff showing there this is- plugged the cuff into the monitor, and hit the start button. A minute later I had my reading. I did it again to double check, and got the same pulse and BP readings within a few mm of the first reading. If you've had your blood pressure taken at a doctor's office (who hasn't?) it'll all be very obvious.

This monitor can also save and compare successive readings, which might be handy for someone on BP medication who needs to carefully monitor their pressure. The slim manual explains it all very clearly. Everything packs up in a zippered bag so it's easy to keep all the bits together. Construction is on the lightweight side, so it's not going to be as rugged as the units you see in medical offices, but then it's not intended to be used 50 times a day, either. With reasonable care it should last. I would recommend not using the supplied off-brand Alkaline AA cells, though, as I've had too much experience with cheap cells leaking and ruining electronics devices. Put in a set of Eveready or Duracell AAs and you'll be okay.

This is a great product. It accurate with a easy to read display. Comes with battery and plug in the wall plug

I received this in a timely manner. Was packaged well. When using it instructions say to have at heart level. I tried at that level and resting on my leg I received same reading. I also tried using my left then my right wrist and same reading.

Excellent device to keep in house for home health checks and self monitoring

I like that you can see everything in big digits, and that it says your reading out loud. It also tells you if you have a normal heart rate or not. Satisfied with my purchase. Much better than others I have had over the years.
