Several years ago I bought this product from Hammacher Schlemmer. It was excellent until the beginning of this year when it would start the process and then suddenly fail and show an x mid-screen. NO blood pressure reading. I replaced the batteries, of course. Still it failed. Went to Amazon.com and found the same model, about $20 less than the earlier price. Ordered and received it. Now, just a few weeks after I began using it, it is already showing the x mid-screen and failing. This means I have to dig out the purchase records and return it to Hammacher Schlemmer, who, in their most recent catalog have a NEWER version that is much more expensive! I'm 89, do NOT enjoy this process one bit. DISAPPOINTED! is a mild word for it....

No problems so far. I haven't used the software yet and I don't think I really need it anyway.

USB driver very poor. Multiple tries needed to connect, then, if you are very lucky, it will connect. Bought unit in 2008. Complained to customer service about lousy USB software support. Got a run-around. Now, over 6 months later, no driver upgrades or any software upgrades online. One work-around: export patient history. Reinstall everything from scratch including USB driver and maybe you'll get a connection. If so, then re-import patient data and proceed to update from BP monitor - if you are very lucky! I tell you, this terrible software will GIVE you high blood pressure. Totally clunky and behind the times. Would not be acceptable in non-critical toys such as the cheapest digital camera which can typically easily move photos from camera memory to PC via USB. But this so-called medical device can't even do that! Conclusion: the manufacturer doesn't care about user friendliness. That the cuff gives an accurate reading is pretty cold comfort if you can't get the data off the cuff and into the PC for analysis. I am sorry I bought the thing... May I suggest you avoid it if you want to put the data on your PC for historical analysis. Better spend $20 for the old-fashioned BP cuff and write the readings on a yellow pad... Less aggravation.

I was looking forward to the convenience of this wrist unit, and the ability to download scores, but I found it reads too high consistently. Microlife even replaced it quickly with a new one, but it also reads too much higher than my arm cuff unit. I will only use it in an emergency and will subtract 10-20 points from the BP values. (Also if the battery expires, you lose all the readings and settings.)

Product works as advertised and you'd expect. Simple and very easy to use. One thing to keep in mind when using it; make sure you follow instructions carefully on placement of the cuff. If it's below your heart it'll read out high and cause needless concern. I'd recommend it for anyone who wants to monitor their blood pressure any time and any where.
