Seeking Help Suggest a good blood pressure monitor

TheCapedCrusader · 25 May 2020

Kindly suggest a good blood pressure monitor around 2k.

I found omoron is widely sold brand in Amazon but I thought to ask here to get more suggestions in selecting a good one.

Thanks in advance

I have a omoron 7270 model, which was brought 2 years ago from amazon.. instrument build quality good but warranty card missing on the box.. most of the time reading can be inaccurate by + or - 10 to 20..

I brought Omron HEM 6232T (Omron HEM 6232T Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor (Black): Amazon.in: Health & Personal Care) last year from Amazon at ₹3,330 (now costs ₹4,228). Results are inaccurate by 10 to 20 as @San_jay said. It comes with four rechargeable AA batteries.

I have the same one. Reading are inaccurate +-10/20 but i guess all such monitors will anyway have that error margin, I usually check 2-3 times and get an average

Thank you guys for your suggestions so using an electronic bp monitor is unreliable ? Because even+ or - 10 gives high or low bp reading... Can someone please clarify

my father runs a pharmacy, he's been using the manual bp machine for over 20+ years (switched to electric in 2017 that runs on 6 AA batteries, but that was giving inaccurate bp, so switched back to manual one after few months)

Exactly my father is a doctor and he never uses a digital BP machine to check BP.He says that the digital BP machines give wild readings sometimes the variation is in 3 digits.
