Omron HEM-780N3 Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor with ComFit Cuff

This is a great monitor! Helps to keep BP under control.

The so-called ComFit cuff is anything but. It doesn't taper. So if your arm is a little fatter at the bicep and narrower at the inside of the elbow where the reading is done, the device errors out unless you wrap it very snuggly. But when you do that, it compresses your arm so much as it fills with air that we actually found it very painful to use, with our arms and hands turning blood red from the compression. We tried cutting the plastic insert to relieve some of the pressure and managed only to break the device. It now errors all the time, and of course we can't return it given that we cut it. May try getting a replacement cuff and will see of Omron makes one that tapers. In general, though, I would stay away from this product unless you have a perfectly cylindrical arm.

I have the Omron HEM-780 unit for 1 1/2 years now and I find it to be inaccurate at times. The device has other problems with it like not giving me a reading at all, it just cuts out. This cut out problem has happened over 100 times. It inflates the cuff to a certain point, but then cuts off completely. I then have to remove the cuff and put it back on and redo the reading again.

I personally do not care about the other features if it can not do the primary job and I find myself constantly using my backup manual cuff and stethoscope.

This BP cuff is great. It has enough features that I have options on how I want to record my information. My husband uses it as well; I'm "A" and he is "B" and we compare our measurements. Lots of features and easy to use.

This item was recommended to me by my primary physician for a very good reason -- I desperately needed to get an accurate BP reading and that wasn't happening with the kind I was using (wrist bp machine).

This item is very easy to use; has good versatility and doesn't take up much space (I keep it on the kitchen table since I take my pressure twice a day). I would highly recommend this machine to anyone who needs to get an accurate reading.
