I don't know if this is right area for this. Looking to buy a bp monitor, and was wondering if you all have any favorites. Want a good one, with big cuffs.

Mine is Omron. They make quite a few. Easy to use with big digital readout.
Have you all checked the accuracy?
I have Omron and they are pretty accurate, I check it against a manual BP monitor and they are near identical in results. Costco sells them real cheap.
I have this one (Omron) and im very happy with it. Walmart carries them as well.

I use an OMRON wrist model. Surprisingly, it's within a few digits when tested at my Docs office. I'm guessing you guys have found standard model(s) with larger cuff sizes readily available? Can anyone please send me a link? I've never seen them available on-line with big enough cuffs...
Is this the wrist model, my dentist uses one. Do you find it as accurate as upper arm one?Quote:

That has to be why mine is always a lot higher than the reading at my doc's on the mercury sphyg. I have an omron HEM773. the cuff is too small. I didn't know there were xl cuffs available! I'll get one. Thought the machine was.just a.POS although I did my research before I bought the thing... Supposed to be one of the best for home use.
I went and got a cvs model, for the wrist for 79-25%. It sucked 245/132 lol I would be close to dead. So I took it back and they were gonna give me 79 back I told the girl I had 25% off and she just wouldn't listen and gave me 79 back. I tried cause I'm an honest person. But anyway went to Walmart got the omron wrist one and it works great 131/82 so I'm happy with it.
