Product Reviews of Omron HEM-712CLC Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor with Large Cuff
Product Review: For Home Use
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are looking for a home high blood pressure monitoring system that does what it says it will do, then this product is ideal for you. There is really nothing you have to know about taking an accurate blood pressure reading. Just follow the easy illustrations and wrap the cuff around the upper area of your arm, push the button and all the work is done for you. The readings are big, easy to read, and easy to understand. Be aware that this unit works best when used with the included power cord. Also, be aware, you should have the right cuff size to fit around your arm.Product Review: GREAT!!!

Love this little monitor. Pretty damn accurate too. Real close to my doctors readings. Not bad for under $50 bucks.Product Review: Good Monitor
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a good monitor. My only negative remark would be that the unit pumps a little too much pressure. Really gets tight on your arm. But...the main thing desired is accuracy and this unit it accurate.Product Review: Good Product

Had a conventional type monitor and decided to try the auto-inflate type. Am well pleased with the unit and how it performs. For the money, it is a good value.Product Review: Good Product at a Good Price
Summary: 5 Stars
I ordered the Omron HEM-712CLC from Amazon after much research and can also confirm that this unit comes with the large cuff for an arm circumference of 13 to 17 inches (hence the designation "LC" at the end of the model number which stands for large cuff). I also was initially confused by the product description here on Amazon's page which notes the product has a 9-13 inch cuff but the description is wrong--as of the date of this review--my unit came with the large cuff (13 to 17 inches).
I was recently diagnosed with high blood pressure and my cardiologist recommended an Omron machine for home use to keep track of my blood pressure as I started on medication. After much online and in-store research I felt this unit was good quality, had all the features I wanted, and had the best price.
I am quite happy with my decision and the unit so far. It's easy to use, gives accurate readings and the large cuff fits me well. My cardiologist told me a large cuff is important for me to get the most accurate readings. If your arm is smaller than 13" you will want to go for a smaller cuff. I don't have a smaller cuff yet but if my wife wanted to use the machine, it looks like the cuffs can be interchanged quite easily by simply unplugging from the machine the rubber hose from one size cuff and plugging in the rubber hose from the other cuff. No problem.
I recommend this unit as a good quality machine at a good price.
Additional info as of August 2010: My machine is still working like a champ. Still highly recommended!
