Product Reviews of Prevention WS-820PV Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor
Product Review: Accurate and repeatable
Summary: 5 Stars
This replaced a similar wrist cuff meter which I was not happy with. The old meter would give very different readings on measurements made minutes apart. This meter yields essentially the same numbers for second measurements. Out of curiosity, I took it with me to my doctors office, used his large cuff (I have very large arms) and compared the readings to his equipment. Total difference was about 3%, a quite acceptable tolerance for my home measurement. Another reviewer was unhappy with the screen size and position on the bottom of the wrist. If the unit is operated as shown in the instructions, the screen size and position are perfect, the unit is at heart level, and is quite easy to read.
Overall, for home use and serious data collection and blood pressure monitoring, I like this device.
Product Review: BEST Most ACCURATE Blood Pressure Monitor Ever, Plus Irregular Heart Beat Warning
Summary: 5 Stars
The Prevention WS-820PV wrist blood pressure monitor is the ONLY one I am aware of that actually warns you of an irregular heartbeat while taking your blood pressure, etc. I have been having periods of shortness of breath, that actually makes it pretty much impossible to even talk at times, and now I am finding out why. I have had so many IHBs since using this, that I now have an appointment with my doctor to find out why my heart is doing this. I don't mean to sound dramatic, and maybe it isn't all that important, though I would think it would be, just common sense wise, so having this feature on this monitor is one EXCELLENT reason to purchase this unit. I read that it is listed as pretty much the best rated one around. It is also extremely easy to use. I can't 'feel' my heart doing anything unusual when the monitor has registered the IHBs, but have noticed that I have had the shortness of breath around the times it has registered the IHBs. So, just because you can't actually 'feel' your heart beating in some odd way, apparently doesn't mean that your heart isn't doing something it shouldn't.
Be Safe and BUY this Prevention WS-820PV wrist blood pressure monitor for yourself and maybe for your aging parents. It might make a Real difference in yours and their lives.
Product Review: Best of the best.
Summary: 5 Stars
This product represents the best of good'ol American design and engineering expertise. A product that is not only well made but performs far beyond average expectations for this device. Prevention; you really done good!Product Review: Dr. says "most accurate wrist monitor he's seen"
Summary: 5 Stars
We couldn't get our old cuff monitor to work properly, so we decided on trying a wrist monitor. After much study, I chose this one. Turns out the Dr. said it was more accurate than any he's seen. Now we can take our blood pressure at home without having to go to the doctor's office or grocery store. The doctor knows the variation and can determine if our meds are working properly. If my husband can use it...it's really easy to use! He won't mess with anything that is difficult to work with. I would definitely recommend this unit.Product Review: Excellent Product- Best Bang for Buck
Summary: 5 Stars
I'd been wanting to purchase a blood pressure monitor for home use and had really been shopping around for sometime. All the seemingly quality ones I saw at retail stores and pharmacies were in the $70-$90 Range. As I shopped on Amazon.com I enjoyed reading the reviews of the different products. While I was tempted to purchase a lower priced model, some of the reviews about their quality made me do otherwise. This product is quick, accurate and heavy-duty in quality. It is not flimsy or made of inferior materials. For the price, I would truly recommend it.
