Good design and easy to use, but inconsistent and inaccurate readings
I recently purchased this wrist type home automatic digital blood pressure monitor by Shuangjlshan. My husband already uses an upper arm cuff type blood pressure monitor, but I wanted to also have a wrist cuff. The writst cuff is desirable for those who have large bicepts or have an arm injury. This unit comes with a plastic storage case, it does not come with batteries (2 AAA batteries needed), and it is very compact.<br /><br />Pros for this unit: easy to put on and to use. The display is clear and the hear rate seems to be consisten with other monitors we have<br /><br />Cons for this unit: The top number is very inconsistent and is extremely high (about 25-30 points higher than our other recently calibrated upper arm  blood pressure monitor). The lower number is more consistent but is about 10 points higher than our other monitor. The display screen is pretty small and doesn't look to be of high quality.<br /><br />Overall, I like the design of this unit and ease of use. I'm not sure if the unit I received is flawed, but the inconsistency of this unit makes it hard to depend on. I had planned to give this unit to a relative, but I will look for something else. I am returning this item.<br /><br />I was able to purchase this item at a reduced price in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.
