Product Reviews of Omron HEM-650 Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor with APS (Advanced Positioning Sensor)
Product Review: Easy to use and accurate
Summary: 5 Stars
Nice product and easy to use for my 88 years old grandmother. It is fast and accurate.Product Review: Easy to use and carry
Summary: 5 Stars
this is a perfect choice for my family. It is easy to use and directions are also given in the box. It is a smaller device than in picture. It also comes with a plastic box that makes it easy to carry anywhere.Product Review: Easy to use but disappointing results
Summary: 2 Stars
Based on the reviews I purchased 2 of these, one for my mother-in-law and one for me. I found them very easy to set up and use. However, my mother-in-law's systolic pressure would run 10-15 points low on this monitor as checked against her doctor's results, and at age 88 this is her most important reading. Both of my numbers would vary by 10-15 points in either direction compared to an arm unit that had been calibrated at a doctor's office. I liked the units and found them easy to use but the readings were so erratic as to be unusable, so I have returned both.Product Review: Easy to use if you're not elderly.........
Summary: 4 Stars
My husband and I found this easy to use, but were not able to use it with our elderly mothers. They could not grasp the need to hold it essentially over your heart to get it to inflate. We figured it out with the second use and after that could immediately put it in the right position (imagine holding your left arm up against your body with the wrist over your breastbone); our mothers could not. In addition, one of our mothers has lost quite a lot of muscle and the cuff would not inflate correctly for her tiny, bony wrist. But if you're not elderly, it is fast and easy to use. We didn't investigate whether the measures were exactly correct; for us they were close enough!Product Review: Easy to use, but not GREAT
Summary: 4 Stars
Easier to use than the table-top and cuff variety, but takes longer to use. Requires user to raise arm to level of the heart, and while it gives you some help (a tiny beeping indicator), it's a complication. Am doing some long-term comparision to an Omron table-top model to see which is better.
