I was looking for a less expensive, less bells and whistles, yet accurate blood pressure monitor. This one fits the bill. It is an old fashioned stethoscope and blood pressure cuff and gauge so you are the one listening for the reading and able to follow the needle on the gauge instead of only being given a digital readout. It's a little like having an actual oil gauge for your car instead of just having a light that is either on or off. The gauge has an automatic airflow valve that lets the air release from the cuff at an even pace without having to adjust a screw while trying to manipulate the rest of the equipment. The cuff has both a right and left arm adjustable velcro closure with an indicator line drawn for the needed fit. Great product.

The ADC Advantage Manual BP instrument is easy to use and gives consistent readings. I have moderate hearing loss - yet the stethoscope integrated with the handcuff sounded crisp and loud enough to get a precise reading. I find the dial to be smaller and more difficult to read than a Japanese made instrument I had earlier. It would have made the instrument even more convenient to use and read. Overall, I would rate the instrument - Good.

It's fairly inexpensive, and does what it's supposed to do. The stethoscope isn't the greatest quality (I've used much better), but it does pick up the Korotkoff sounds just fine. My only gripe is that I wish the carrying case were larger - it's difficult to get the cuff in the case once all of the pieces are assembled. Just look at the size of the stethoscope earpiece and the size of the case it's laying on and you'll see why it's difficult.
