The material used making this monitor did not squeeze my arm so tight that it hurt. That is why I rated the monitor 5 stars.

Defective
Defective Half of the time I got error messages and other times when it worked, the reading was at least 50 points and above every time compared to my cardiologists office blood machine results. Took the monitor to my cardiologist and they tested it and told me that it was defective. Make sure your monitor woks well because youre dealing with your ticker :)

    It is exactly what I was looking for....easy to read and it has memory. It is a little difficult to adjust the band to your arm by yourself, but when you find the right fit just slip your arm out and it is ready for the next time. No need to fight with adjustment each time. I would recommend.

    Waste of money
    Product is simply cheap. Comes with low end batteries that needed to be replaced ASAP. Readings are inconsistant (dramatically off from one minute to the next even without touching the cuff). Cuff design is poor, making it hard to tighten with one arm (sometimes needing help) and lining up the dot will move when tightening. Cuff also has an arrow not mentioned in instructions that can cause confusion, I assume it is just there to point to which way is up as it uses a dot to identify where on your arm the bottom should be aligned. The memory function is pretty useless. It will show the last reading and an average (which is different from the last reading), but often forgets all other readings (without clearing the memory). Though without knowing previous readings how can it have a different average from the one reading it remembers? If the unit is left off for even a few minutes the last reading disappears and only the average remains. If you have this unit, don't make medical decisions based on it other than to consult your doctor. And if you need to track your readings I would recommend recording them by hand.

    Great for the price and easy to use.
    This does work on both arms despite the cuff only showing it used on the left arm. I purchased this as my Doctor wants me to keep a log of my readings since putting me on a beta blocker due to high pulse rate and heart palpitations which this notifies you of during reading if it detected a irregular heart rate/beat. It also records reading quite quickly in comparison to other cuffs that I used in the past. It also stores past readings for recalling later as well. Was worth the price paid and am pleased with the product.

    Better than the ordinary Cuff
    This Product was well worth my Money. I bought this for myself to keep an eye on my Vitals after my Major Back Surgery, works GREAT, even does your Pulse at the same time.

    DO NOT BUY! wrong size leads to wrong readings!
    This monitor was too small for my husbands arm and reading his blood pressure too high. He took it to his doctor and his doctor said the cuff is too small and only good for a womans arm. This was misleading and we would not have ordered this if we knew this would not work. We would like to return this.

    I question the accuracy
    I really question the accuracy of this. When I take my BP, the first reading is always high, usually 150 /82. I wait about 1 minute and do it again and I usually get somewhere around 140/79!! I check my BP at a local RX at one if those sit down ones and I get around 135/80. I will be taking it to my doctors office and comparing with there's and get a real medical opinion on the accuracy of this thing.

    You get what you pay for...
    Monitor itself is ok for the price. I purchased it on 5/5/21 and havent had any major issues with its functioning however ive had to replace the batteries THREE times since ive bought it. I noticed after just a week of using the monitor it began to run low on battery life with the batteries that were included in the box. The monitor is still dying after replacing with duracell and energizing max batteries.

    functional so far, useful, saves time and fuel
    I used this one time -- rather than drive to the doctor. Easy to use. Seemed accurate, in range. Blood pressure can vary anyhow. I walk in a store or dr office, mine will be borderline high, then wait 10 min and it drops a lot. This was good for doing televisit and report to doctor instead of drive to office. That convenience alone is worth the price. I inserted 4 batteries. plug in air hose. Figure out how to wrap around arm, reading directions on the arm band. lock down the velcro. hit the start button and wait. Then take a picture of the results. Has the 2 readings (pumping and resting) plus pulse rate. That's all you need.

    Inaccurate readings
    At first I thought this was a great deal, but the readings weren't even close to the doctor's office. Don't waste your time and money. Had to return it.

    Great Equate Blood Pressure Monitor
    Easy to use and accurate BP/pulse measurements. (Comparing these to Home Health cares measurements on my elderly mother.) Battery life is good for the model. Cuff is very sturdy and the Velcro closure holds well while in use. The Monitor comes with a sturdy travel bag that has plenty of room for both the monitor and cuff.

    Great product
    It's easy to use and comes with good instructions. One nice feature is that it will save your readings and give you an average. However, that won't be accurate if more than one person uses it, so I'm thinking of buying a second one, so my husband and I can each save our own readings. I have arrythmia, and the beating heart icon will indicate if I'm experiencing arrythmia when I take my reading.

    Great Product would buy again!
    This was a replacement monitor and I like the way it looks. It has nice big numbers so that you can read it. This product is easy for one person to use as well, the cuff stays in place once you get it on. I would recommend this product to other shoppers.

    Accurate readings
    This blood pressure cuff has been totally accurate for me. It's nothing fancy but it does the job! My readings at home are the same as at the dr's. Great product for the price!
