5.0 out of 5 stars Only a few fancy features, bit incredibly accurate readings
I've bought a few of these products and some, the wrist models mostly, require one to hold one's arm in odd positions. Others don't give reliable readings. I've tested this one with my home nurse and it is always precise. Also, you can set the maximum pressure so it doesn't get too tight. The cuff's design makes it extremely easy to put on because the loop is preset and...

1.0 out of 5 stars Machine I purchased was not accurate
This is one of Consumer Reports best BUT the machine we got was not accurate at all. We carried it with us to the doctor's office and checked it against the doctor's . There was a variance of 30 to 40 points- not good

This review is from: LifeSource UA-767V One Step Auto Inflate Blood Pressure Monitor with Medium Cuff (Health and Beauty)
I've bought a few of these products and some, the wrist models mostly, require one to hold one's arm in odd positions. Others don't give reliable readings. I've tested this one with my home nurse and it is always precise. Also, you can set the maximum pressure so it doesn't get too tight. The cuff's design makes it extremely easy to put on because the loop is preset and it needs only be adjusted. Granted, it doesn't have fancy features like remembering blood pressures, but one need only write these down. It also doesn't have a plug. It operates exclusively off of batteries, but this is easier anyway.

After trying several frustrating models and getting inaccurate readings from automatic readers while I have been in hospitals, I was elated to find this simple, accurate blood pressure monitor. It isn't fancy, but the fancier ones that I have purchased have never been so accurate, and the last thing that a monitor should do is frustrate its owner and raise his blood pressure!

If you want accuracy, go for this one!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Happy LifeSource BP Monitor customer, May 12, 2007
By 
I was very hesitant in placing an order for this Blood Pressure Monitor since I've only seen it "online". However I over came my hesitancy and placed the order. Upon reciept AND first use I was extremely pleased AS was my nurse trained partner AND even more importantly the glowing report that we got from the Visiting Nurses who we had at the time. They both commented that we really couldn't have done better...at least for the price... It was just what we needed. AND comparing the read-outs with the Monitor the Visiting Nurses were using they were almost exact matches in Pressurs and puls readings.
A five star "product" that I would recommend for ALL home use for those that need to take their own Blood Pressure with confidence.

5.0 out of 5 stars blood pressure monitor is great, January 20, 2007
I took it to the doctor's office and had the nurse take my blood pressure with her equipment and then she tried mine several times; the numbers were not exactly the same but close enough; so now I know I can easily track my blood pressure at home! This is a great home health aid. Thank you AMAZON!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Just what the Dr ordered!, September 22, 2007
By 
This Blood Pressure Monitor was just what I needed. It seems very accurate when being compared to when my BP is taken at the Drs office. My only regret was that I did not have it shipped more quickly.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent product, May 2, 2008
This review is from: LifeSource UA-767V One Step Auto Inflate Blood Pressure Monitor with Medium Cuff (Health and Beauty)
My old Lifesource BP monitor was, I thought, a bit worse for wear and so I ordered anothert blood pressure monitor made by another company. (Prevention DS-1902PV Auto-Inflate Blood Pressure Monitor) A warning: do not ever purchase anything under the Prevention or Mark of Fitness brand. The Prevention unit was horrible. The first one gave wildly inflated and inconsistent readings and constantly warned me of heart irregularities. A replacement unit did the same. The company has offered to provide a third replacement, but I grew tired of the obviously poor Prevention and Mark of Fitness products, so I ordered a new Lifesource unit.

The readings are dead-on accurate. The Lifesource unit also has an irregular heartbeat feature. I tried this and the Prevention unit apart. The Lifesource unit did not show an irregular heartbeat, while the Prevention unit once again did - as well as a vastly higher BP reading.

The Lifesource unit no longer comes packed with a carrying case, which I consider to be a minus, but it does include an AC adapter, which is a plus. There's a little scale on the side to indicate the level of your hypertension, which is useless, I think since you wouldn't be monitoring your blood pressure if you didn't already know you were somewhere on the hypertensive scale. So the scale neither adds nor detracts from the unit.

Lifesource offers everything you could ask for in a blood pressure monitor. It is easy to use. It is very accurate. And it is covered by a lifetime warranty, a fact that I had forgotten with regard to my old unit.

Lifesource customer service is responsive and helpful.

Altogether a wonderful package and far better than the units distributed by Mark of Fitness under the Prevention brand.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to use, September 30, 2007
This review is from: LifeSource UA-767V One Step Auto Inflate Blood Pressure Monitor with Medium Cuff (Health and Beauty)
Easy to use, and very accurate. I took it with me to my doctor's appointment, and it's readings were essentially the same as the doctor's readings.

This review is from: LifeSource UA-767V One Step Auto Inflate Blood Pressure Monitor with Medium Cuff (Health and Beauty)
This blood pressure monitor is very accurate. I compared it with the doctor's reading at his office when my pressure was taken. I have purchased several monitors and this comes the closest to an accurate reading. I would highly recommend it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Better than I expected, December 12, 2008
I chose this product mainly because, among all the famous (or recommended) products I found, this type of monitor was the only one with SMALL cuff.

The quality is better and more reliable than I expected. I tested it on myself and my friend, and the results turned out to be pretty well, close to what we got from a clinic. The price is also reasonable to me.

5.0 out of 5 stars the best blood pressure cuff- much more accurate that the usual, September 29, 2008
after many trial and failures with home blood pressure kits for my parents, I am happy to report we have found one that is accurate, works , and is elderly friendly to operate. As a nurse I give this two thumbs up especially for the cuff for larger arms. THANKS!
