Customer Reviews of HoMedics BPW-200 TheraP Automatic Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor
Customer Review: Inaccurate
Summary: 1 Stars
After extensive internet research and consultation with a pharmacist, I purchased this blood pressure monitor. It seemed to have the least bad reviews on Amazon. Even though I had been warned that wrist monitors are not as accurate as arm cuffs, I liked the features and packaging of this one. I have always had borderline high BP, and made an appointment with my doctor. I wanted to bring a record of my BP over 2-3 days before my appointment. Most, if not all of the measurements taken by this unit were at least 15-20 points higher than the ones taken by my doctor and his nurse at his office the "old fashioned way" (arm cuff and stethescope). Back it went to Walgreens in exchange for an Omron 780, which measured my BP very close to the numbers obtained at my doctors office. Although I liked the size, features and convenience of the Homedics BPW-200, I cannot in good conscience recommend it.Customer Review: do not bother!
Summary: 1 Stars
This cuff did not live up to the hype. It consistently measured my pressure incorrectly after I followed all directions. When I discussed this with my doctor, he informed me that these cuffs are precarious at best!
I am back to the good old arm cuff. Do not waste your money on this one.

THIS ITEM SAYS THAT MY BLOOD PRESSURE IS 180/123, WHICH MEANS I SHOULD BE DYING, AND AT THE DOCTOR OFFICE MY PRESSURE IS 120/68.
