Omron M2 Basic Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor, 41 x 31 x 51 millimetres

A very easy to use monitor that appears accurate. It's a well made item and the readings are consistent, so it gives me confidence that it's working well. For the money this is great value and I would highly recommend this product.

I bought this for checking my condition following a heart attack. It told me that all was well with my blood pressure during recovery. A steady daily reading was comforting. I did record pressures manually for a few weeks. A device that linked to my smartwatch might have been very slightly easier for recording but much more expensive and dropped signals can be so time consuming. Now, I just use it when I feel like it. I was pleased with the price and simplicity of this device. Perhaps it is now superfluous but I’m glad that I bought it.

I may have reviewed this higher if I could actually use it, but like most negative reviews its entirely down to the cuff. It simply is too small to fit on my (roughly average) biceps. The cuff claims to be up to 13" or 32cm, which should have immediately raised a red flag as 13" is 33cm. (32cm is 12.5") When I measured it, the largest possible size you could wrap the cuff around was in fact 32cm, but that was way outside the maximum line marked on the cuff itself. If you wrap the cuff on its maximum line. It can fit a 29cm (or just over 11") bicep. The second biggest complaint I've read is that the M2 isn't accurate. Now using a too tight cuff is a near guarantee of getting too high readings, so a 29cm/11.4" biceps are the largest it is safe to use with this cuff; far smaller than advertised. -- There is a huge difference between squeezing into a pair of jeans and a Medical Device used to monitor your heart. Now the average male Bicep is around 13"-13.5", so a large proportion of adults will be unable to use this device (including myself), even is the cuff was as big as advertised. If there was an option to buy it with the larger cuff from the start it would solve many of these problems. EDIT: Not long after posting this review I found out that Omron do a free cuff exchange if you need one. The process is a little time consuming, but for me was worth it. With the large cuff, the machine works brilliantly and is well worth recommending. The above doesn't take away from the fact a large cuff should have been an option from the start.

It works. OK that is flippant - of course it works. I have seen this brand in surgeries so I felt comfortable ordering it (more comfortable than being told I had high BP). As a device for checking your blood pressure on a daily basis it is fine and does the job admirably.

Good quality and value. Fast delivery

Purchased some time ago to monitor my blood pressure on a routine basis for review purposes. Simple, easy to use. Has continuously performed successfully for many years. Same basic design as some used in my local GP surgery.

Small enough to take with me when out, clear instructions and accurate

Works a treat and accurate
