BP cuff is decent but stethoscope is terrible

Edit of previous review:While I still can't say I love the BP cuff design, I can say that I love the customer service! After my previous review I was contacted by one of Paramed's representatives and they replaced my faulty unit with a new unit. I hadn't requested a replacement since I already owned a stethoscope and didn't have a problem with the BP cuff besides the design of it so I was very impressed when their customer service reached out to me to remedy the problem.The new unit works very well and I would buy from Paramed again based off their customer service alone.For the price you pay this BP does the job although there are some annoyances that I'm not fond of. The dial isn't permanently attached to the cuff and instead slides on the cuff with a clip in the back. This can get frustrating since the tubes connecting pump and dial get tangled and the dial occasionally flops off the cuff or whatever else it is connected to. For the cuff itself in order to get it on one needs to slide their arm into it instead of wrapping it around the arm. This can be personal preference but I don't like this feature. As for the stethoscope, it's TERRIBLE and would better be suited for a kid's doctor play set. But, what can you expect for the cheap price. Over all opinion, BP cuff works but there's annoyances; the stethoscope doesn't work.

Pros
  • The kit includes all the necessary components for measuring blood pressure accurately
Cons
  • The cuff may require frequent adjustments during use
