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.

This blood pressure cuff is easy to use, and is made of good materials with a couple provisos:

1. The fit of the hose to the gauge head is too loose, and the gauge can drop off and fall in handling. This is not a good thing, as that is the most breakable part.

2. The tail end of the cuff that fits through the flat ring does not have a large enough retainer and will slip loose too easily, making the cuff awkward to apply one-handed for self-monitoring.

3. The fabric of the cuff also slips too easily in the flat ring, twisting the cuff on the arm.

4. The pressure screw on the pump bulb is very touchy, though usable.

While this item was exactly as advertised, and is a very good value, I think the seller is in apathy regarding shipping.

They seemed to have absolutely NO idea of when the product would arrive and gave a time frame of four weeks for it to get here. Their method of wrapping it for shipping also showed an appalling lack of professionalism.

In short, while the product gets an ok the seller gets an I-don't-think-I'll take-a-chance-on-them-again

Excellent product. Stethoscope is a basic but I let the kids at my bp clinics use this one! I personally don't care for the metal bar to pass the end through, but it works well and valve is easy to use.

The stethoscope does not work, and the tensiometer is of poor quality, now I have to buy another elsewhere stethoscope to see if the rest of the team works. SCAMMERS, I CAN NOT BELIEVE THEY ARE REGISTERED SELLERS OF AMAZON.

I am beginning a Nursing program at a local college and am required to buy a steth and bp cuff (of course lol So, on a budget I got this set. I'll go into a bit of detail about it now..or you can skip to the ** for the gist.

The Sphygmomanometer (I learned this word in class and I am proud of myself for it) is okay, but the stethoscope is not good quality. It isn't even decent quality. You can touch it anywhere and hear any movement you make on its surface...whether it be the polythene tube or the diaphragm at the base. When you hold it to hear an audible pulse, you will hear your hand moving slightly as you adjust and then as you attempt to remain motionless. Plus the ear pieces are too tight and uncomfortable in general (hard plastic covering).

**Bottom line here is, you get what you pay for...it works, not great, but it works.** My advice, save up an extra 30-40 bucks and get better quality. Which I am doing now, I have no comparisons to go buy as of yet, but i think my review is fair.

Purchased large adult cuff, received regular adult cuff. Contacted company and they gave me the run around, not answering emails or phone calls. Didn't pay that much, so guess I got what I paid for. Will NEVER buy from this company again.

BUYER BEWARE!! This company is the worst entity to deal with and completely dishonest in my opinion. The send defective broken items of the cheapest quality and the wrong size as well, then when you try to contact them you get some cell phone forwarded call answer to leave a message, which you do and NEVER get a call back! Won't even talk about emails, they don't reply those as well. Had to file A-Z claim through Amazon. This company needs to be removed from AMAZON!! They're cheats and liars!!

I've purchased several items on AMAZON before and never had a problem. This Blood Pressure Cuff - Aneroid Sphygmomanometer with Stethoscope, LARGE Adult Size that i just received was BY FAR THE WORSE purchase i have ever made!!!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH "BP MEDICAL SUPPLIES" i will never buy anything from you again!!! SUPER POOR QUALITY, THE BULB LETS OUT THE AIR, and don't get me started on the flimsy stethoscope...i can go on forever!!!!
