handy and works well most of the time

You have to position the unit correctly to get an accurate reading, this takes a little bit of practice. The unit is easy to use and small enough to take with me almost everywhere I go. Handy for checking my BP when I think I may be stessing out.

Good enough for home use.

I found this tensiometer is very accurate, the mistake range is never over 5 mmHg up or down when you use it the right way, but you have to be clear that this is just for home use, electronic tensiometer can never replace a manual one.

Sorry for grammar mistakes but I`m from latinamerica and english is not my natal leguaje.

I bought this for my dad and he loves it. It's easy to set up and use. It's compact enough to take anywhere.

According to this device, I'm dead.

As far as I can tell, even after following directions to the letter, I found the readings to be wildly inaccurate. For example, in the morning I got a reading of 89 over 79. In the afternoon it was 188 over 155. Then a bit later it was 155 over 150, nearly a flat line indicating death. At my doctor's the reading was a very normal 118 over 78. It's a wonder this little machine didn't cause me to keel over just from shock. I don't recommend it to anyone. Mine is on its way back to Amazon.

Worked Perfect for over 2 years

I've read other reviews and felt I needed to add my 2 cents. I had open heart surgery 2 years ago. I purchased this wrist cuff monitor at least 6 months before that. I knew I was having trouble so I took this cuff with me everywhere. Sometimes I would check my heart rate 6 or more times a day. It was always very accurate. I would take it in to my appointments and it was always fun to test it against what the doctor got. It was always within 3 or 4 points of their readings. I really needed it for the heart rate more then the blood pressure. I had to make sure my rate was low. I'm just now looking to replace it. I've worn the poor thing out.

Having your BP read in the wrist is so much more comfortable and convenient.

I see there are less expensive cuffs offered here on Amazon.com but, I hesitate to try another one because of how well this cuff held up for me. I don't know what would have caused the other customers to have bad luck with theirs. I say give this one a try, if it isn't accurate (check it at your doctors a few times) then return it and try another brand.

I bought this for my Elderly Parents because it is so EASY to use.They love it.I am in Healthcare and found this to be the most accurate B/P monitor.After buying this one,I bought another one for my husband who has High Blood Pressure.I would buy and highly recommend this product for anyone.

Dangerously Inaccurate

2008-01-14
My blood pressure tends to run a little high so my doctor recommended I monitor it over the course of a month. So I bought this blood pressure meter thinking it would be a convenient and hassle-free way to monitor my blood pressure at home without having to go out to the gym or other place where they had a BP machine. Boy was I wrong. I can't get an accurate reading off this monitor, and yes I've read the instruction manual. Just tonight it showed me as being 195/120 which is in the "stroke danger zone" and I freaked out. An hour later, I'm 131/68 which seems to be closer to my typical range. I get wild variations in the readings even as much as 20-30 points within just a few minutes. I just don't know which to trust. I've decided I'm taking it back and trying another model. I'm very unimpressed.

Easy to use with accurate readings

Fast and easy to use with accurate readings that compare time and again with the old fashioned cuff readings down by our RN.

Low Tech, bad product.

The monitor was a gitf to my mother in law, what a shame!: the monitor comes whit the metal contact of the batteries missing. Once the repair is done, it shows different readings of the pressure level even if you follow the instructions and you take four readings one after another, the four readings are different... I will try another brand next time.
