We are very impressed with this BP monitor. Easy to use and read. We like that it gives you your pulse rate as well. The arterial fibrillation symbol also comes on after reading when appropriate. Worth the cost.

I bought this monitor after much research on the net of BP monitors. The No#1 complaint I read about electronic monitors is their lack of accuracy. I bought the Lifesource Mod# UA-853ACP based on the reviews I read of it here and else where.I had mine four days and took it to my Doctor to compair it's readings in a SbS test with the Doctors manual BP monitor. In a space of 90 minuets the nurse took six reading and much to my compleate disapointment the Lifesource BP monitor was consistantly of average 15 points to high. The manual BP monitor was reading my BP at around 128/30 and the Lifesource would read a BP of 145/90. I then had a family friend who is also a RN do a second SbS test same as above, and again the Lifesource gave consistantly high measurements. I will add one thing my doctor as well as my friend the nurse both said. This model Lifesource monitor comes with two different sized arm cuffs. One for SM-MD sized arms and one for LG-XL sized arms. As it turned out the SM-MD cuff was dead on the line of being to small and the LG-XL cuff was also dead on the line for being to large. Both my Dr. and my friend the nurse said the fit problem was most likely the sorce of my problem as my arm measures 15.5" around as it did give accurate BP readings of my wife who the SM-LG cuff fit perfectly. So bottom line if your arm measures in the 15-16" range you might want to consider a different BP monitor or at least try a BP monitor on for size if you can before you buy.

The Lifesource UA-853ACP seems to be fairly accurate, but I did have a problem with one of the memory features. The manual states that by pressing the memory button before the auto shut-off, that particular reading would not be memorized. This isn't a crucial function, but I feel it is of value. There are times when you might want to measure pressure under unusual circumstances, such as after exercise or while stressed, that will skew averages, so these readings should be deleted. However, this function didn't work with mine so I had it replaced. Amazon was great and immediately sent one, plus return shipping. I had both units for a few days and the second had the same problem, which means either the function is no longer supported or there is a bad batch. I decided to keep a spreadsheet so this issue is no longer a factor, but it is annoying that the unit doesn't work as the manual suggests it should. Other than this one issue, I do like the unit.

After a couple of months of use the unit is meeting all my expectations. It is easy-to-use, appears to be accurate, and above all is helping me understand what environments induce stress for me. There's nothing like being able to see what your bp is when enjoying a nice conversation or awaiting a business conference call. The differences are an order of magnitude greater than I ever would have expected. At the price point of this unit there is no excuse for every home not to have one, because it makes so much more sense to manage the conditions that lead to high blood pressure than to get on the pill-pusher's train.

Tested this against the doctor's, and it's accurate. It's easy to use and sturdy.
