Product Reviews of Omron HEM-773AC Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor with Easy-Wrap Cuff and IntelliSense
Product Review: doesn't work well
Summary: 1 Stars
this particular unit gives an error reading about 90% of the time. I probablly will have to go through the effort of reboxing and sending back if they will take it without a lot of grief.

Product Review: eh, it's all right
Summary: 3 Stars
Overall this product is just OK. I got a great deal on it (on sale, plus a $10 instant rebate, and I had gift certificates).
What I don't like about it is that #1: I feel like it's not accurate. I've been borderline HBP for a couple of years and now this machine gives me perfect readings. (119/79, 120/80, 117/78 to name a few) and #2: I often need a 2nd person to help me put the cuff on, otherwise it doesn't get as tight a fit. My dad has an older model where the cuff wraps around and slides through a metal loop so you can get a bit of leverage when you're putting it on with your other hand. This cuff is a little more awkward.
I'm glad I didn't pay full price for it, let's just say that.
Product Review: everything it claims to be
Summary: 5 Stars
The Omron HEM 773AC Blood pressure monitor is great. Easy to use, has large adjustable cuff, easy to store, accurate and great at recordkeeping for two users. Amazon's price was great,too. Highly recommend as did our doctor.Product Review: good unit; wall wart generates lots of elf/emf
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a very good blood pressure unit, easy to use, comfortable. It never over inflates - other units occasionally decide to use a second reinflation cycle, which way over inflates and hurts.
The only complaint that I have with it is that the wall wart it comes with generates a huge amount of elf/emf (whether the unit is in use or not). So, I'd suggest keeping the wall wart (not necessarily the bp unit itself) at least 4 to 5 feet, maybe more, away from your head while sleeping. I have measured the wall wart that comes with the hem 780 to generate much less elf/emf. Unfortuneatly the 780 does occasionally overinflate, which I hate. Also, the 773 uses a separate on and off button from start, and the 780 uses only one button, a bit less user friendly.
Product Review: vital health aid
Summary: 5 Stars
This unit is perfect for monitoring my blood pressure.
The more expensive ones connect to PC but this not a neccessity.
The memory stores all of your readings. Omron is the gold standard for home units.
