Review on Automatic Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor With Large LED Backlight - Accurate BP Machine With 2 User Memory - 99 Memory Capacity And Large Cuff - Batteries Included by Emily Perkins

I've had this now for a while. I find it easy to use, inexpensive, accurate (I've compared it to readings from doctor's offices) and consistent in its results. It is so easy to put on the arm wrap - you can hardly go wrong.I recommend this product (end of review) -Stop readingBut I also have to say (rant)how unhappy I was with some one of the most widely known products of this nature. It would work sometimes and then sometimes it would give me an error message. Lately it has given me a lot more error messages. The messages would usually say I had not applied the arm band correctly. Maybe it was too loose? Too tight? Too high? Too low? Occasionally it would state I had no blood pressure (presumed dead).I started to ding myself (why can't I follow simple directions?). Surely this was my fault.Then I thought about it for a while - I've followed directions on items more complicated than this. I'm not an idiot.Or perhaps I am - I kept thinking the problem was my problem - just not putting on the arm band correctly.The problem is the monitor itself.If it's that tricky then the problem isn't the consumer - it's the product.So I would suggest to anyone reading this who is monitoring their own blood pressure, that in order to take your blood pressure (and also not elevate your own from sheer frustration) that you avoid the main seller.Just get this one instead.Works, cheap, simple, accurate.
