Multi-User Blood Pressure Monitor for Home Use UA-767FAC – Wide Range Cuff (8.6-16.5” / 22-42cm), Easy to Use, Adult Upper Arm, 60 Readings Per User (4 Users), AC Adapter, FSA/HSA Eligible

I don't have any complaints. It's easy to use, and it functions great. As long as it's accurate, that's all that's important.

I've owned a number of BP meters, some with fancy features like voice output and Bluetooth, but this meter is my favorite. It has just the right combination of features and is very easy to use even though it doesn't have some of the bells and whistles from my other meters. The unit comes with an AC adapter, but I have used batteries exclusively because it make it more portable for me. The cuff is large enough for my frame and has plenty of room for even larger arms. Detecting arrhythmia (AFIB) is another feature of this meter. The first thing that I did was to take this to my doctor and have the nurse check the accuracy of the unit. The readings were within 1 or 2 points from the ones that the nurse obtained with a stethoscope. She told me this meter was very accurate and that slight variations can occur between readings. I really like how the unit inflates the cuff. Unlike some of my other meters that feel like a professional wrestler is squeezing your arm, this meter has a less aggressive inflation profile. The meter starts off inflating the cuff slowly and then switches to a faster inflation rate until the proper inflation is reached. All meters have to assert pressure, but this one seems to be able to zero in on just the right amount to obtain an accurate reading. I have never had it inflate, pause, and then crank up the pressure or start over like some of my other meters. The meter can track up to 60 measurements for each of four users. Accessing the memory confused me at first. When displaying the memory, the first reading is an average of the memories stored for the user. I like this. However, when I pressed the up and down arrows, I was greeted with a "No. xx" where "xx" is the memory number. I thought that there wasn't a reading for the memory since I didn't notice the period, so I went to the next one. My only complaint is when using the up and down arrows, the "No. xx" message is displayed and then you have to wait three seconds for the actual reading to be displayed. That is very annoying especially when you want to step through multiple readings. A better solution would have been to display the memory number while an arrow key was depressed and then immediately display the reading when the button was released. Still, this is not that big of a deal for me since I usually only want to reference the most recent readings. But perhaps in their next version... All in all, I am enjoying this very nice BP meter.

Very well made, works great.

Buying a blood pressure monitor turned out to be a lot more complicated than I expected. I ended up buying three models before deciding which one was right for me. The ones I purchased were: - Omron 10 (BP786N) - Withings Wireless Blood Pressure Monitor - A&D UA-767F I initially purchased the Omron, but it had inaccurate diastolic readings, so I purchased the Withings. However although the Withings was very accurate, it had other issues, so I purchased the A&D, but it had inaccurate systolic readings and a cuff I disliked, so I returned it and decided to keep the Withings. However the Withings stopped working on the 27th day. It resumed working the next day, but I no longer trusted it, so I returned it and am using a replacement Omron 10 in its place. I tested these blood pressure monitors rigorously, being careful to use proper techniques and recording all results in a spreadsheet. I was impressed that the Withings had the most consistent and I believe accurate results. I did not have the opportunity to take it to my doctor’s office, but I tested against five other home monitors: my old Omron 3, which has been regularly validated at my doctor’s office, a LifeSource ( A&D) UA-767 at the Kaiser Permanente Education Office in San Rafael, CA, two Omron 10’s, and the A&D I returned. Compared with the Omron and Withings, this A&D BPM is basic and no-fills, but impressive. It’s also the cheapest, selling (as of February 2017) for $15 less than the Omron and $50 less than the Withings. It doesn’t pretend to have Bluetooth connectivity. It’s what I wanted originally, but after my problems with the Omron and Withings, I decided that Bluetooth for Android BPM’s is more of a hassle at present than it’s worth. Its accuracy would have been on a par with the Withings and maybe a little better if it hadn't been for a defect that caused it occasionally to report systolic readings that were at least 10 points too low. I tested it repeatedly, trying to eliminate the possibility that I was doing something incorrectly (I’ve been measuring my blood pressure every day for six years, so I have experience at it). I finally reluctantly decided to return it. Before deciding to return it, I tried contacting A&D several times about the systolic errors, but the contact form on the A&D website always crashed, giving me an SQL syntax error. Its data averaging is not as automatic as the others, but is more flexible. The Omron and Withings allow you to average three measurements. It’s totally automatic, You press the button and it does three readings. The A&D requires that you manually start each reading and to time the interval between readings yourself. However the advantage is that you can average as many readings as you want, up to 60. It averages all readings in memory, so if you want to average only the current ones, you need to delete all previous readings from memory. If you record your readings ina spreadsheet like I do, this is not a problem. One things I strongly disliked about the A&D is the cuff. The Omron and WIthings cuffs are superior. The A&D is very long andt I found more difficult to use than any of the cuffs on the two previous blood pressure monitors that I’ve owned as well as the Omron and Withings. If I ever buy the A&D, I’ll buy a medium cuff for it (approximately $20). One other thing I like about the A&D: it’s the only one of the three monitors that had all the information I needed to know contained in a single manual, which was included both in printed form with the manual and available for download. The A&D is the only one that comes with a carrying case. It seemed to be pretty decent quality. Overall the A&D impressed me. If the one I bought did not have a defect that causes random systolic reading errors, I’d have kept it and ordered a different cuff.

Monitor appears to be very well made. The cuff that came with it fits me very nicely and is easy to put on. The results are easy to read - numbers are large. It is also a great option that you can go back and look at previous readings. These readings in memory have date and time stamps. I haven't brought it to my doctor's office for a comparison yet. Like my previous monitors there is some variability to the results but I find them within my experience of using the monitors. The packaging, directions and the carry bag are well thought out. The hose between the unit and the cuff is shorter than the last monitor it is replacing so I find that I perform my readings at the kitchen table.

loved the easy operation of machine and cuff(s).

very easy to use. The cuff is easy to put on. It fits my thinner arm and my husbands thicker arm.

I had purchased a $25 BP monitor from Walmart a few months back. It seemed to work fine and had it "calibrated" 3 separate times by local clinics. BTW, "calibrated" is a lie - they want to check your machine against theirs and see if it is close. That is not calibration. Anyway, the $25 was verified 3 different times locally, and when the Mayo Clinic demanded I bring it in for "calibration", they were kind enough to tell me that it was garbage and I needed a new one. They strongly recommended an A&D monitor. After doing my own research, I sent the Mayo a message saying that the Omron monitors were better rated from accuracy, quality, and features at a better price. They still insisted I purchase the A&D model - so I did. After checking this A&D model against the $25 generic one over two days, it wasn't any more accurate than the $25 one I had been told was garbage. Now this doesn't mean this one is not accurate, it just means it won't pass muster at the Mayo Clinic. Take that as you will. Accuracy aside, this monitor is a nightmare to use if your blood pressure is over 180/XXX. It climbs slowly. Then, it drops incredibly slow - 1 pt every 0.5-1 second and often once it has compressed your arm to the point where you are sure it is going to burst, it wants to pump it back up and try again. I have never had a cuff this incredibly painful, and the worst part is that often, when you turn it off to try and save your arm, it won't release the pressure on the cuff! I had to pull the hose out of the side of the unit just to get it to let go of my arm several times! That is NOT ok! I tried to take my BP every 3-4 hours for 2 days with this unit and ended up with 3 usable readings because I had to abandon the rest. At $55, the features on this unit are minimal at best. It doesn't store enough measurements. It doesn't do the averaging the Omron Series 10 units do ($5 less btw), and did I mention it HURTS to use the dang thing? Overall this unit was a dismal failure. I'm sure if your BP is in the 140's on a regular basis you can make this work, but why spend $5 more to get less? I ended up returning this and buying the Omron 10 that I wanted in the first place and saved myself $5. The features are better, the unit is easier to use, and it don't try to see if it can make my arm pop or at least turn purple when I try to use it. Save your money. Buy something better. Don't buy the machine that tries to crush your arm. Pain increases BP. Kinda seems like you would want to cause as little pain as possible if BP is something you are trying to measure, no?
