This is a convenient little gadget that works well and easy to use. We picked up the Omron HEM-711AC Blood Pressure Monitor at a local "big box" for somewhat more than it usually goes for here on Amazon. Being on meds that raise my blood pressure requires me to keep an eye on levels twice a day and I have been very pleased with this device. Here are my observations:
Pros -
+ Easy to Use, setup took less than 5 minutes and the instructions were easy to follow
+ Accurate, readings are very close to what I get at the doctor's office
+ Convenient, relatively small size and ability to power with 4 "AA" batteries or the included power supply makes this travel friendly
+ Features, includes pulse rate and has memory function
Cons -
- Cuff Size, the included 13" cuff is too small for some members of my household
Overall this device works exactly as I had hoped it would, and perhaps even a little bit better than expected.
Recommended!
