Since I live alone and don't leave my house I had to find a way to take my blood pressure. This one is so easy to use. I had to return another one as the directions were too hard to figure out. It is accurate according to my doctor. We checked it against his. Best health buy that I have made.

If you want a nice backup BP monitor then this unit is for you, I would not recommend it as a primary BP unit for anyone with High Blood pressure, but it is very low in priced and is pretty accurate unit that just lack durability.
BTW I personaly do not trust Digital units because you really have no idea if they are reading correctly, while with the Analog units you have your own ears to verify the reading.
The quality of construction with this unit is very poor, but it will do the Job and should last at least 1 year if you use it lightly and thats about all you can ask for at this price

Great BP cuff, and very easy to use. The price is definitely right, especially if you get free shipping. However, if your upper arm is thinner than most people's, then the cuff will not fit (the "male" Velcro will actually wrap around and miss the "female" Velcro on a thin arm -- I am 6' 1" and 147 pounds, and it just barely attaches to my arm). Other than that, I would recommend this unit highly.

It was easy to use but it didn't work for that long before it broke. I bought 2 of them over a period of time and they each died.

Not worth the money for something that doesn't work. i know how to care for them so it wasn't me that broke it.

As someone else said in regard to this item, "You Get What You Pay For." This item isn't worth that. The item states "Professional Quality." Yeah right. This item is made in China, and appears cheap and of poor quality in every way. Mine arrived with a cracked lens on the aneroid gauge. The eartips on the stethoscope are just awful! They are so painfully hard that my blood pressure went up just having them jabbing at my ears. My ears still hurt and it's been at least 20 minutes since I boxed it back up and requested a refund from Amazon.

easy to use for taking and monitoring your blood pressure. one handed operation and more accurate than little digital finger or wrist units

The cuff is such that one person can operate the apparatus. Meter is easy to read. Fast service and reasonable price. No need for batteries. Product registration and BP chart was included with package. Directions for use were clear and easy to follow. Was what I expcted.

I just got this product few days ago and I just returned it back today because of 3 things:

1) The product is defective. I just have to pay for the return shipping but I was told that they would reimburse it.
2) The eartips of the stethoscope is not just firm, its too hard that it hurts my ears.
3) The diaphragm of the stethoscope is attached to the sphygmo so if I want to use a different stethoscope, I can't because it's stitched to the cuff.
BEWARE: DO NOT BUY...

Lesson learned: That what you pay is what you get. Next time, I'd rather pay more for a better quality.

The kit works okay; however, it is very difficult to take your own blood pressure.

Great product with excellent shipping. Very easy to use and the product was as advertised.
