Received my BP monitor and it seems to work ok. My wife complains about the tight pressure it produces. Seems to be accurate, would recommend to a friend.

I bought this for my husband who needs to monitor his blood pressure. It works great and is very durable. Somehow kids are drawn to it and love taking their blood pressure too.

Product: Life Source Blood Pressur Monitor, Model UA-787
I am happy with the product and I have found that the reading seems accurate when I compared with the reading by Mercury Monitor(Doctor’s Office Equipment.) Only comlain I have is the cuff seems more snuggish that two finger space.

It’s probably a well-designed machine, if the reviews are correct. But blood pressure has to be accurate since it affects health and lifestyle decisions –otherwise there’s no point in measuring it.
At my doctors, it gave a reading 18 points off on the systolic.
At home it could vary by 15-20 bars. So I stopped using it for several months.
Finally, I gritted my teeth and waited on hold for 45 minutes to talk to what I would guess from the announcements on the hold queue is their only, or 1 of 2 customer service people.
The lady was pleasant, but frustrated, and kept telling me the unit is 98% accurate. But how was I arranging the cuff?
The manual says: the cuff should be snug, but not too tight. You should be able to put two fingers between the cuff and your arm.
The cuff says: Adjust so that you can fit two fingers between the top and bottom cuff edge.
By “top and bottom” they really mean “front and back” cuff edge.
They also mean that the edge of the cuff flap should slope toward the shoulder and not the wrist.
I think, if I accept my doctor’s reading as accurate, I have a device that provides excellent biofeedback on my ability to place the cuff properly. Unfortunately, that is not medically significant.
I will play with it for a few weeks and see if I can get it to work for me as a measure of blood pressure.
If not, I’ll leave it out on the street and let some homeless person have it for free.

After checking the reviews on all the popular cuffs it came down to the LifeSource or the Omron.Some Omron owners cuffs failed in less then a year and the LifeSource is warranted for a lifetime ,so I choose this one.I expected it to be very accurate,but the doctors office made several comparisons and found the systolic pressure reading 8 lower then the actual reading.Now I add 8 to all my systolic readings for a correct reading.My wifes arms are small and the part that wraps around your arm should be made to fit smaller arms.I suggest measuring your arm before buying a cuff.Also it could use a bit of velcro to secure the flapping end of the piece that wraps around your arm.It is very easy to use and gives fast consistent readings.The air pump is strong and fills the cuff quickly.It comes with an AC power supply ,so you dont need to keep buying batteries for it.I would recommend this model ,but take it to your doctors to check the calibration.
