Quality Product.,
I have used this unit every day for the past month, and it is reliable and simple to use. I purchased it after trying another monitor from CVS which gave me wildly different figures each time I used it.

|it is awesome,
I purchased the BP Monitor 6/12 and it arrived 6/18, shipping is fast and ordering is great. I tested the BP Monitor out as soon as i got home from my medical school, it works perfectly and there are no glitches the reading is acurate and setting the time, day and date with year and alarm is easy. the numbers are large enough to read without glkasses.
i am impressed with this unit so now i don’t have to go to the drugstore to get a BP reading when i have to go to pick up allergy medicine, ect.
the cuff is large for arms 14.2 to 17.7, medium is for arms 9.2 to 14.2.
i normally would get a medium, but the large cuff fits good even if it overlaps a little. I might have to get the Medium cuff.
if i could i wood rate this a 10 pkus 100% approved by a med student
i highly recommend the Life Source Blood Pressure Moniter: model UA-853LAC

|Well worth the extra money – Verified Accuracy,
Unlike the review I posted Feb 4, 2011 on the grossly inaccurate Omron HEM-780 Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor with ComFit Cuff, leading to a return for refund, I can whole-heartedly recommend this automated BP monitor.
I have now taken many readings on 8 different people, following the same protocol of simultaneously measuring (sitting) readings with a Littman Cardiology Stethoscope and Baumanometer mercury sphygmomanometer on one arm, and this device on other. Then after 5 minutes, reversing arms and repeating. Also confirmed systolic readings with portable dopler of radial artery at wrist. This LifeSource UA-853LAC is extrememly close to actual measurements (+/- 3-6 mm) for both systolic and diastolic readings. I notice in contrast to the Omron, that this LifeSource model inflates and drops the pressure much slower (in increments of 2-5 mm Hg at a time) which is going to give much greater precision.
It has a 3 foot long tube, allowing you to place device on table while taking readings. They put an air pressure one-way equalizing vent in the middle of the 3 foot tubing for greater accuracy, since air pressure varies with temperature and ambient altitude. This cuff is easier to adjust and get an accurate fitting for a range of arm sizes than was the Omron. There are very few erroneous readings in contrast to the Omron because of the better fitting cuff, and more accurate electronics.
I don’t see any downside to this device, other than a bit more expensive. But if you want accurate readings and an automated machine, this is the one to invest in.
