5.0 out of 5 stars Howto for cheapskates, June 6, 2008

Most recommendations for self-test blood pressure devices these days suggest a digital meter, probably because the aneroid ones are just a little bit tricky to use. The cheaper simpler aneroid devices like this one will work well for self-test so long as they have a 'D Ring' (which this one does) ...but figuring it out isn't always drop-dead simple. I was initially flummoxed, and had to refer to other sources of instruction on the web before I got the whole picture. The addition of something as simple as a line drawing (better yet a picture) would help a lot. The instructions say "Slip the cuff up your...arm, placing the bottom edge..." Turns out the 'bottom edge' is the one with the tubes. The instructions say "...position the marking..." Turns out the correct 'mark' is the 'left arm' arrow or the 'right arm' arrow, not the one that says 'index' and not the one that says 'range'. The instructions say "Slip the chest piece of the stethoscope under the cuff...". Expand this very literally to mean the stethoscope should stay under the cuff by itself (else you won't have enough hands). And obviously pump with the _other_hand -not the one with the cuff around it- even though that's not explicitly stated."

This broke within the first 2 weeks and it was not mishandled or dropped. The dial stopped returning to zero and wouldn't function correctly. I didn't bother sending it back, just bought a better one. Buyer beware.

I am very well pleased with this product. I would recommend this blood pressure cuff, aneroid sphygmomanometer with stethoscope to anyone. My physician wanted me to have my blood pressure taken on a daily basis for a couple of weeks because my blood pressure was elevated so I ordered this product and I'm glad I did. It is well worth the money and so far works just fine and I've had this product for over a month and use it almost daily.
