I need to start monitoring my BP at home....doc could not give me any brand suggestios, just said avoid the finger monitor and self-pump is more accurate.....anyone have one they like that is accurate? Thanks so much! And yay! It's officially spring!!!

I've had a Samsung for years. Seems to be accurate, but I've never taken it to the doctor to check it against their equipment. Mine wraps around your wrist and pumps it's self up. Got it at Walmart.

My doctor recommended Omron. I had it checked at the drs. and it was very accurate.

Omron is a good brand. Runs on batteries (batteries last a LONG time). Put the cuff on & push the button. We took ours to the Dr. to have it checked. We got ours at Wal-Mart.

I have an Omron that goes around the wrist. I brought to my Dr.'s office a few times and got the same reading on it that they did with their equipment.

I am shopping for one and read excellent reviews for Omron products. I am looking for one that I can use easily on my wrist.

I had an Omron and took it to the doctor's to check because I kept getting funny numbers. Sure enough, there was a big difference between mine and his professional equipment. He was surprised because Omron is an excellent product but every company hits a clunker once in a while and I guess I got Omron's. Consider all the good reviews posted here but get yours checked against the doctor's just in case.

My insurance company sent me HoMedics to monitor my BP with over several weeks...like 3 months. It is back under control, so I put it away. I did have a wrist model, but it did not work right. Do take what ever you decide to try to the Dr.'s and have the nurse check it against their BP machine. Good Luck.

I did lose some weight and adopt a cat for inside the house...Dr. had to drop the medication down a drop, for the first time in 25 to 30 years. A milestone for me.

Congrats quilting ninasue! Good to hear! I purchased an Omron this afternoon and took it to the gym-they have a blood pressure monitor there-both had the same reading, so I will keep track of readings and take the equipment to the nurse to double check next week. Thanks everyone for your input! ��

I have the Omron and take my BP at home right before I go to the doctor. It's always within 5 points on top and bottom. Have had it about 8-10 years.
