Omron M2 Basic Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor, 41 x 31 x 51 millimetres

A very easy to use monitor that appears accurate. It's a well made item and the readings are consistent, so it gives me confidence that it's working well. For the money this is great value and I would highly recommend this product.

Good bit of equipment to have at home. Easy to use

In short: this is a reliable, sturdy machine that is really useful for home monitoring. The longer version: my husband has severe anxiety disorder and every time he has his BP checked at the doctors' surgery, it is through the roof. He has high blood pressure anyway as a result of his anxiety but the additional stress of going out to see the doctor means it becomes unnaturally high and it is difficult to dose his medication correctly. We decided to start monitoring it daily at home to give a clearer overall picture to the doctor. I didn't really know what I wanted in a machine, other than something that was reasonable simply to operate and would give reliable readings. I know Omron has a fairly good name in terms of medical equipment and this monitor also happened to be one of the lowest priced at the time of my search, so I bought it to try. The monitor is a good size with large, clear numbers on the screen. It has no fiddly buttons to mess with, just a large, sturdy Start/Stop button which does exactly what you expect. I believe that there is a "last reading memory" function on the machine but we are noting the results on a phone app so have never used it. I took off one star for this review because the cuff is sometimes temperamental. Admittedly this is probably user error on my part but I honestly can't work out what I do differently when it refuses to work. I should also add that I purchased the Omron Large Blood Pressure Monitor Cuff (32 - 42 cm) because the medium size that comes with the monitor was not large enough for my husband to use. Overall, I am really glad I bought this as it is really convenient and easy to use, comes with a zip-case for storage and is really helping both my husband and I keep an eye on our blood pressure. It is important to note that new regulations recommend testing both arms as close together as possible as differences of over 10 points can indicate problems which need urgent treatment.

Works a treat and accurate

Very easy to use (even for a 92 yr old) and the small cuff makes it even easier.

Good quality and value. Fast delivery

Was advised by my surgery nurse as showing signs of raised readings, have had to submit logs of readings for further investigation.

Good product
