This is my third home wireless blood pressure monitor. I have used the small Omron wrist based unit before, and another MeasuPro upper arm monitor. This upper arm blood pressure monitor is on par in terms of quality and accuracy with those other two units. It might be a bit more reliable and accurate than the wrist monitor (although that’s not saying much – see bellow), and allows for an easier reading and more long term information storage.

The arm strap for this monitor should fit most arms. However, if your upper arms are particularly well developed, it might be a snug fit. I have reasonably muscular upper arms and this product works fine for me, but if you are, say, a bodybuilder then you might have some issues with it.

I am really not sure how accurate this pressure monitor is. In fact, I have my misgivings about all pressure monitors. I’ve had instances of having two different “professional” pressure monitors at doctor’s office give me two vastly different measurements within the matter of minutes. Blood pressure can fluctuate a lot, but the issues of correct placement of the monitor can also be crucial. With that in mind, I’d say that this MeasuPro pressure monitor does not perform any better or worse than most good quality pressure monitors. It seems to get the general ballpark of what I expect my blood pressure to be. It also shows the appropriate changes in blood pressure following my daily physiological changes (running on a treadmill, drinking a double espresso, etc.). Furthermore, MeasuPro seems to be a very professional and reliable brand in the category of home health monitoring products.

One of the things I like the most about this product is its elegant design. It looks very modern, well-made and durable. It definitely feels like an appropriate product to have in your medical device cabinet.

One shortcoming of this monitor is that there is no easy way of transferring its information to a computer or a smartphone. In the age when more and more devices are becoming “connected,” It’s not as connected and modern as some of the more innovative home medical device developers, such as Withings. I hope to see the future editions of this blood pressure monitor work more seamlessly with other consumer electronics products.

Overall, I am very happy with this blood pressure monitor and would recommend it to anyone looking for a convenient regular way of monitoring your blood pressure. Its long warranty is a particularly attractive incentive, as it will provide you with a peace of mind about its reliability for many years.
