Product Reviews of Omron HEM-711AC Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor with IntelliSense
Product Review: Great little BP machine!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this product after my cardiologist suggested daily blood pressure readings. I did some online research, and settled on Omron due to its high ratings. I am very satisfied with this purchase. The device is simple to use and accurate. One note: Be sure to determine your proper cuff size, as I ended up having to buy the larger cuff (extra cost). All things considered, its a great tool for you medical needs.Product Review: accurate, not too hard to use
Summary: 5 Stars
It's a bit fussy about the position of your arm, but it works quite well. I took it with me to my doctor's office this morning to compare readings, and his BP cuff and this were in good-enough agreement for me to trust.Product Review: I Like It, But The Diastolic Is Always Low
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this because of the reviews, but discovered something that I haven't seen in any of them. Shortly after I got it, I took it to by Dr's office to compare it. I had suspected that the diastolic was running low as I always got between 52 and 58. In the Dr's office, my diastolic was 70. I replaced an Omron wrist monitor becasue I knew it was running high on the systolic, however it is accurate for the diastolic.
They checked how I was taking my BP and said I was doing it right. I read and reread the instructions and called customer service. They told me to try a large cuff which gave the same reading. I wasted $18 for nothing.
MY BIGGEST CONCERN ABOUT THE DIASTOLIC BEING LOW IS THAT OFTEN THE DIASTOLIC IS WHAT THE DR'S WORRY ABOUT MOST. A difference of around 20 points makes a huge difference on the diastolic. If you get 79 and its really 99, you won't really know that you are running high.
What I do is use my Omron wrist monitor to get the diastolic and the Omron 711AC for the systolic. A bit of a nusiance, but it seemed like less of a hassle than sending it in.
Product Review: Don't recommend this BP monitor even though Consumr Rpt says it's top rated!
Summary: 1 Stars
Consumer's Reports just rated this a top buy (ranked #4) in automatic BP sensors. I was excited. Came quickly via Amazon, but the readings seemed quite high, over and over. I compared it to my neighbor's model, which commonly read about 8-11 points lower for each of us --- over and over. I then took it to my doctor's office and compared it there. Again, it came up about 10-12 points above their readings. I sent it back. I do not recommend this model at all (HEM 711-AC). Not sure what to recommend, but not this model. thx.Product Review: Great product
