Greater Goods Blood Pressure Monitor - Complete BP Machine Kit with Wall Adapter and Premium Comfort Cuff, Designed in St. Louis

Have used this regularly. it's easy to use & accurate.

I have been monitoring my BP at home for almost 30 years. I have owned several to ten different home BP machines from Omcron and other notable brands. This Greater Goods 0602 is THE BEST (in my opinion). I am an electrical engineer knowledgeable about sensor kinda things and my wife is an RN who has many many times done a manual BP measurement along with my machine measurement. Great price, saves data for two users and "accurate". This is not a great forum for a discorse on BP machine accuracy. ANY setting (incl doctor office) can produce a "bad" number; the repeatability I get measuring L and R arms with this machine far better than any other I've owned ... and sometimes been frustrated with. Cuff sprung a leak after 4.5 years, thousands of measurements by user 1 (me) and user 2 (wifey). (I have twice in last five years in doctor office had his measurement using the tall sphygmomanometer on wall differ greatly (10+ points) from nurse measurement with automatic expensive BP machine.)

I have several BP monitors as I seem to be in that middle stage of pre-hypertension (thanks menopause!) which is brand new to me having always had low blood pressure. I'm a vegan marathon runner who is very careful with diet and all my other numbers look good so my Dr. and I have been trying to figure out what's up with my blood pressure. No family history either - and seems to be related to other changes given my age and gender. That said there were a few things about this I liked and a few I disliked. Here they are:Pro'sBack lit monitor - awesome! Easy to see even if darker in room or area and very clear screenAccuracy is mostly good - it does throw me some low numbers every once in a while but in general seems to vary less than other monitors of its class.Easier to use cuff - I find BP cuffs to be an exercise in futility as I am a petite female and the cuffs are really hard to get on as my upper arm is small. They tend to slip all over the place - wish this was a smaller cuff meant for more petite people but then it wouldn't fit a lot so...yeah...anyway. Difficult once I've used it a while to get it to stay and velcro with the right placement. Would be easier with much bigger arms. Middle of the road - easier than some, harder than others.Easy to view historyFairly simple to set upCon'sAccuracy (pro and a con) - there are times I know this isn't accurate and, if so, it is generally reading low. That's not great for me as I really need the most accurate monitor I can find. Still - probably less than 10% of the time. I use a couple monitors and I was hoping to get away from that but likely not if this is not 99% accurate. It's just not. Good for overall and longer use where you are looking for patterns over time - but not for that one critical BP reading.NO bluetooth! My first version of this companies monitor had Blue Tooth and it took me some frustration to realize this doesn't have it and it doesn't sync to the app. That's a huge bummer as the price is still not that cheap and you cannot sync it to their app. So the history is a LONG and MANUAL process to pull off and record. Didn't realize it - and though it's not a deal breaker I would not purchase this machine again knowing it does not have blue tooth to connect so I can pull my readings down without manually having to do it. Buy the slightly pricier version of a monitor from this company so you can get that bluetooth. LOADS better and can go into Apple Health. The other issues apply - just it's so much easier in this digital age to have bluetooth and sync.Overall - I'd give it a 3.5 out of 5 if you don't care about bluetooth. Since it is designed first as a BP monitor I cannot downgrade for no bluetooth but if you are looking for a more current gen way to store and access your history get a bluetooth monitor with a good app.

This is a very good blood pressure machine. I love that it works on battery and plugs in a socket. It's been very accurate and takes up very little space for storage. The case it comes in is just a perfect size for easy travel. I liked it so much that I bought one for my son!

Very nice blood pressure machine.This does everything I need.Works well and easy to use.Good size screen, easy to read.I am pleased with everything about it.

This monitor arrived really fast. It is a compact unit, suitable for travel. The set up is very easy and the measurements are accurate (educated opinion based on the fact that I am a healthcare professional and faculty).The cuff is made of good quality materials.Another plus is the inclusion of the power supply, so the client should not fear running out of batteries at the worst times.Although it is a small size monitor, the display is large and the backlight makes it easy to read.The irregular heartbeat detector is a helpful measurement, which if it appears often alerts of need to visit a doctor for check up.Advice for use: set up date and time as soon as you install the batteries (included- 4 AAA).Slip in your arm in the cuff as it is, do not pull it apart.

I don't normally write reviews, but I'm absolutely over the moon about this product.As someone with chronic white coat syndrome/doctor anxiety in general, I consistently get inaccurate and off-the-wall (for me) results on my blood pressure tests when I visit doctors. Recently, I attempted to get on a certain medication that would almost certainly raise my blood pressure, and was denied for the time being because my reading in the office was so incredibly high.I was told by my doctor to follow up with her with blood pressure results taken from places outside of the office (pharmacy, etc). Unfortunately, I don't live very close to a place that does free blood pressure readings. So, I thought to myself, if I would continue to be monitored as I was treated anyway, it made perfect sense for me to buy my own monitor, if not only for accurate results outside of the office, but also for the peace of mind as I started my treatment.SO! With all that being said: This monitor is stellar. For $30 I get readily accessible blood pressure readings that are accurate and easy to understand. It's small, and comes with a convenient carrying case. The memory function is especially nice, as I can look back and see how my readings compare to one another. I have somewhat large arms, and the cuff works really well for me; easy to adjust but fits like a glove. The packaging is also very friendly and the set-up guide is pretty easy to understand.Overall, I'm really, really glad I purchased this, and will get quite a bit of mileage out of it in the coming years!
