An excellent quality device at an incredible price point
About four months ago, I was offered a free Antrolife Blood Pressure Monitor for review via the Amazon Vine Program, and I accepted.<br /><br />My blood pressure (BP) has always been a little high.  It's great to be able to track it at home with a straightforward, compact, lightweight, easy-to-read, easy-to-use device like this.  It is SUPER easy to use.  The most difficult part is putting the arm cuff on, and that's easy!  Once you have the arm cuff in the correct position, slightly above the elbow, attach the hose to the main unit and press start.  The built in voice guidance is fairly good and understandable.  The cuff will inflate and your BP will register on the bright, crystal clear screen.  When the reading is all done, the unit will read the results aloud and give you a prognosis.  Depending on what you're shooting for, your interpretation of the numbers may be a little different than what it says though.<br /><br />The unit itself is lightweight, but feels like it's well made.  I like the clean design a lot, too.  The edges are all rouned so it's easy to handle and hold.  The LED screen is super crystal clear and easy to read... in fact, I'm not 100% certain, but I think it may be OLED.  There are four rubber feet on the bottom along with the the speaker.  The cuff is easy to insert and remove.  The design is great.<br /><br />It comes with a nice little carry case that fits the main unit, the arm cuff and a USB-A to USB-C cable for using it without batteries (and it includes 4xAAA batteries).<br /><br />Overall, it is an excellent quality device at an incredible price point.  I gotta say that at this price, everyone should have one of these along with a fingertip blood oxygen monitor and maybe even one of the new ECG (EKG) readers.  Take charge of your health.  The first step is knowing your readings.  Highly recommended.<br /><br />Just a little side note:  One of the most important things in taking an accurate BP reading is to be relaxed.  If you look up info on the proper procedure, you're really not supposed to be doing any activity for at least 10 to 15 minutes prior to the reading and certainly you wouldn't take a BP reading for hours after any strenuous excercise.  BP is very sensitive to both physical activity and stress.  IMO the best time to do it is when you're relaxing at home, maybe even just prior to going to bed.  When you put the cuff on, try to stay calm and let it do it's thing.  You can throw off a reading by a lot just by being tense.
