Dennis Brophy ..: Easy to set up and use.Quality seems well thought out and engineered. Time will tell as to accuracy.

N. Miller: It's hard to rate the accuracy except to say it's in line with my numbers for an older machine and it's fairly consistent. My numbers can vary 20 points but that's normal for me depending on time of day. I turned the voice off so I can't say how that works. Display is super easy to read. I always use it with power cord so cannot speak to battery use. The cuff is easy to put on and take off, which is not the case with other units I've tried.
One con: It's almost impossible for me to pick it up off the shelf without hitting the power button.

N.Camardo: This is a great unit, easy to use and read, it's talking to you, (you can turn it on or off) exactly what I wanted.

KATHY C.: Audio is great and it also measures your heart rate then after it says if your rates are normal or high.
Worth the cost

TM ConwayTM Conway: I use this every morning and evening & so far, it's reading close to the numbers I get at my doctor appointments.

PROS:
--This was easy to set up with the time & date (for both users). It comes with a "Quick Start" booklet & separate detailed instructions.
-- A secondary power source is important to me so I like that, in addition to batteries, it also has a USB plug-in.
-- The numbers are very large & easy to read. Even if someone can't read the LED panel, the machine speaks out the results. It will also mention whether your BP is normal or not (based on WHO). You can adjust the volume from low to high or mute it.
-- The cuff is clearly marked so it's easy to position it correctly on the arm (and the machine will let you know if not).
-- Having the case is nice to keep everything all together.
-- I'm not really big but I'm not skinny as I once was & the arm cuff fits me fine with a bit of room to spare.
-- The machine has warnings/errors for movement & irregular heartbeat).
-- The encased machine is compact enough that I can carry it with me to my doctor appts.

CONS:
--The letters for the A and B users on the LED...

Ajami: As said above easy to use. The best feature is you don’t need batteries to work the machine. You can use USB cable with a power bank. My previous machine kills the batteries in no time.
Also the machine talks to you. It is consistent with the readings close to each other
The only thing that worries me is accuracy. One day I’ll take to my GP and compare the readings.

Garden Gnome01: Having just been diagnosed with T2 diabetes and elevated blood pressure I needed to record blood pressure several times a day. Simple to set up and easy to use. Uses x4 AAA, 2 user device if you need that kind of thing, and extensive memory function if you need to go back and check/compare readings. Slightly annoying music and voice while it inflates, but you can silence that. Reasonably large digital display. There is a useful video on using it on Youtube.

This is only only device I have tried so can't compare, but for my needs, more than adequate.

bob12241: I bought this after a bout of illness when a doctor suggested I monitor my blood pressure. I can't compare the actual readings, but knowing that (at a later appointment) my blood pressure was Ok, it gave me an idea as to where I was. I was then asked to monitor my readings for a month, so I set up an excel graph for ease of viewing. Contrary to what others have said You can turn off the the annoying sound. But when you change batteries (which it goes through quickly) it reverts back to factory settings and the sound is back. 2 annoying things are the item switches on again when putting it in the case, I had to remove a battery to stop this everytime I used it, and the tube easily pulls loose when using it if you're not careful resulting in an E4 error.

r.h.b.r.h.b.: The media could not be loaded.  Blood pressure monitor, easy to use with large fitting arm cuff & plays music while it works. I have never seen a blood pressure that plays music while it takes your blood pressure but it is a good way to relax someone that doesnt like having their arm squeezed by the cuff inflating. It is powered by the included usb cable that u can plug into any usb socket, plug or port or for more portable use it comes with 4 x AAA batteries. U only need to place the cuff around your arm & press the start button for it to begin to take your blood pressure. It has an adjustable volume so u can hear as the voice speaks, then it plays music & at the end gives u the results out loud & shows it in large numbers on the LCD display screen. It is perfect for anyone with visual difficulties as the spoken voice is very clear & also tells u if your blood pressure is low, high or normal. It shows your heart rate too & can record up to 120 blood pressure readings for up to 2 people. It is just the machine u need if u have an issue with your blood pressure or heart rate & need to keep an eye on your levels regularly. It is a good price &...
