Pretty accurate. Not as easy to put on alone.
I compared the results with a manual reading and with an OMRON brand known for its acuracy, and found this one pretty accurate but reads a few points low for both systolic and diastolic. There is a diagram on the cuff for where to put on the cuff but there should be an arrow for lining up with the radial artery. Putting on by myself is not the easiest as it will slip a bit and takes some getting used to. It does fit pretty firmly, though which is good.<br /><br />The big LCD screen is easy to read. It uses a color coded green, yellow, or red to indicate if your pressure is a good or a concern--it's best to know what the numbers mean and not rely on the colors, though. It runs on 4 AA batteries, or you can use the included USB cord to power it--a nice convenience. There is a memory feature if you want preserve a reading for your records, and it has a calendar/clock to record the date/time of the readings. The size is compact and is light weight. There is no carrying case, just a little bag. For the price, this is a good value and works well enough to be trusted.
