Accurate and easy to read
By Tbabe on Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2025
This blood pressure monitor is excellent! It’s very easy to use, accurate, and gives clear readings in just seconds. The LED display is large and easy to read, which is perfect for home use. I also like the comfortable cuff and how simple it is to set up. It is very compact and perfectly fit in small handbag which makes it easy to track my parents blood pressure when going on a short trip. Highly recommend!

Well it gives a number. Is it the right number?
By A. Steven Toby on Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2022
A cardiologist told me to buy a blood pressure cuff so I could measure my BP daily. She warned me the wrist cuff is less accurate than the upper arm cuff. I looked for this in a drugstore first but while you can get them in drugstores it has to be a pretty big drugstore so I went to the Amazon website. Well, there are dozens of alternatives and I admit I looked for an inexpensive unit and also one that was automatic since I don't have the skills necessary to run the kind you need to pump up with a rubber bulb. I picked one that had good ratings on the Amazon site and ordered it. It arrived promptly and in perfect condition. It uses AAA size batteries (2) and it was easy to put them in. No tools are required. I didn't realize till I opened the package that it was the wrist kind. I didn't feel justified in sending it back, I figure any number is better than no number. I read the instructions. It wasn't that hard to get the device to run. It talks and that's irritating rather than helpful since the digital readout is large and clear, although it might not be visible at some angles. I got numbers that were all over the map, from 155 to 126 for the more important high number, the systolic. Human nature being what it is, I tended to run it multiple times until I got numbers that were low enough to be "normal", then I stopped for the day. The graph I tried to append shows the scatter. As an engineer I find the output suspect. Maybe none of the points are accurate, maybe some are. All of them can't be right. The ones in vertical lines are taken on the same day. I think the important variables are that (1) the screen of the device be centered on the inside of your wrist, and (2) that the measurement be taken at the level of your heart. Positioning it so the center of the screen is exactly above the artery in your wrist, the one you'd feel to take your pulse if you've mastered that skill, is very hard because you can't make it too tight because of the shape of it, and tightening it changes its position. So, this device gives you numbers to fill in on a chart. How good are they? I don't know. if your doctor wants you to measure your BP and you would rather do it yourself than go visit a nurse who's trained to do this, maybe this device will give enough results to keep the doctor from bothering you. But if she increases your medication based on the results, my guess is it's all myth and you should insist on corroboration by someone with actual medical training. Does the upper arm version give better results? I don't know and I'm not motivated enough to find out.
