Wrist BP Cuff 
2008-02-25
I was looking for a handy BP cuff that I could use FOR myself ON myself. This one was reasonably priced, performs very well, keeps a history log so averages can be obtained and tracked. I think it's great! Well worth the time and $$...nicer than models at other chain drug stores.
Blood Pressure Readings Way Off 
2008-02-08
My husband and I bought this because he has episodes of arrythmia and we wanted to know what his B/P and pulse rates were during an episode. We took the unit to our Drs. office and compared the B/P readings on the unit with what the RN got and the unit was WAY off. If the unit was correct he would have had a major stroke and died..the numbers were that high. I haven't checked to see if there is a way to calibrate the unit so that it is correct so I haven't given up on it as yet. The pulse readings are right on the money each time so at least at this point it is good for that.

LifeSource UB-328 Wrist Auto Inflate Blood Pressure Monitor

Works well.

I've had this unit for several months and I've been very pleased. I use it pretty much every day.
I have a "jumpy" heart, and at times my heart rate is too fast for no reason.., so I use this to keep track of what's going on.
Great features on this unit: the battery lasts for a long time, it reads pretty quickly, it has held up for months, the wrist band fits well and is adjustable for much smaller/larger wrists (mine is average woman's wrist size I think)
BEST FEATURE FOR ME: It has a little heart symbol at the bottom that only comes on when your heartbeat is irregular, which is very helpful in figuring out if I need to take my medication or just settle down for a few minutes.
And, if you have this issue, (or blood pressure issues), it's great to have these little gems @ home because you can use them for bio-feedback (meaning, you can see what/when your heart rate/blood pressure are not good, and what/when they are, so you can make informed lifestyle decisions, like I know I can't eat chocolate or drink caffiene, and alcohol isn't real great either)
Not so great: I use this thing a lot in my room at night, and it has no internal light.., The numbers show up fine in the daylight or normal room light, but it's very hard to read if I'm not in a normal-lighted place.., so I have to use a little flashlight or have the bedroom lights on. When I'm trying to relax to lower my heart rate, or trying to sleep.., I keep the lights down as I find this restful, and I really don't like having to get up to go to another room or fish for a light, as this raises my heart rate back up. I wish they'd make this with little lights, like many watches have.
I can't speak too much as to how exact the blood pressure reading is, as mine is low and fine. I can tell you that according to my doctor everyone's blood pressure changes often over the course of a day and home meters just give you a guideline "range." Your blood pressure will often NOT read the same, even when taken back to back at your doctors office, but should be in the same "range." With this meter, back to back readings are generally pretty close and in the same range as they are at my Dr.'s office, so I think it's fairly accurate. Good health to you!
Readings not reliable 2007-07-26
While easy to use this product does not correlate well with manual blood pressure readings. It read high on the several people I checked.

I brought this because the doctor put me on meds for my pressure and I wanted to see if there was any progress. I worked well and is very easy to use. I would say it was a good value for the price.
Easy to use 2007-04-01
Very straight-forward (but be sure to read the instructions, so you can utilize the memory features). I would recommend to anyone needing to keep track of their blood pressure.
