For the money it is a great monitor. There is a slight learning curve, but once you learn to place the cuff in the correct position, the monitor is quite accurate. Makes daily blood pressure checks a snap. The memory feature is a plus also.

The unit I bought has never given consistent readings. In the same sitting, in the same place, with the same cuff position I get readings that vary from 142 to 125. Most of them were in the low 130's though, so I was concerned about the possibility of prehypertension. I went to the doctor's office with the Sumsung Monitor. The nurse got a reading of 112 and I said that is way lower than the Samsung Monitor indicated. She said that she was using a cuff that might be a bit big so she switched to the next smaller cuff and got a reading of 120. I immediately tried the Samsung monitor while still sitting in the same place the same way and got a reading of about 135. When the doctor came in I told her about the results I was getting. She said that she has an elderly father that has high blood pressure and because she lives too far away to check on him daily, she bought him a Omron Blood Pressure monitor that seems to be fairly accurate. I had looked at the Omron's on Amazon but I saw the positive reviews of the Samsung that cost about $20 less, so I thought I'd save some money. It appears that was a bad choice. I'll probably throw the Samsung away and order an Omron (which I hope lives up to its positive reputation so I won't have ended up wasting even more money).

I don't know if the product was known to be broken before it was sent, or if it is just a bad product. When I received it the LCD was unreadable, and the cuff wouldn't inflate properly. According to the warrenty, I have to pay shipping and return shipping to send it back to the manufacturer, effectively increasing the cost of the BP montior by 25 dollars; I paid $42.00 for it to begin with. I would probably be better off, just throwing it in the garbage and buying another brand monitor for 25 dollars. Not a good way of doing business. I'll spread the word on this bad buy! One Stop Shop was the vendor.

I have had this product for about a week. It is accurate within a few percentage points. It works well and comes with an AC adapter. I have an 11 inch diameter arm at my bicep and there is about 2 inches more available before the cut off for the standard cuff. I don't know if the other reviewer didn't read the instructions or got a faulty cuff. I might have taken a star off because the recorded settings were lost after I unplugged the AC even though I put the batteries in, but I'm leaving it at five to balance the other review.

I purchased this item on line @ a fair price. After using this blood pressure monitor twice a day for
25 days I presented my readings to my doctor. During the morning visit , he took my blood pressure readings multiple times, he also had his nurse do the same. The findings were very different on my doctor's blood pressure apparatice,
to my delight the readings were CONSIDERABLY LOWER !!!! on the way home I stopped @ a local pharmacy, the machine there confermed the readings @ the doctor's office, arriving home I used the Samsung machine and again the reading was much higher!! I returned the monitor for a full refund due to it's gross in-acuracy.

I bought this item for my mom and granddad and found it is very simple to use due to their big buttons and according to my physician it is very accurate, this is the second time I buy this item since I found it is a very good device and you pay a very reasonable price for it.

Ok product while it works. Not accurate but it's within usable range for a portable device. LCD is bleed within 2 months. I need to pay shipping both way to get the warranty repair (they should pay at least one way for the shipping since they are selling the defective products.) First request for the repair did not get response back from Samsung for 3 months (they do not reply email for more than 3 months.)

Product arrived before scheduled arrival date. Was recommended by family doctor. Has worked upto expectations.

After using this machine for one month, I found it to be very accurate. I calibrated the machine with my doctor and the reading was within 1 degree of accuracy, even he was surprised! Also calibrated to my neighbor's machine and it was very close. I am totally satisfied with this system and would recommend it to all.

It seems to work fine.However,the package did NOT contain the batteries even though the box says that these are included.
