Customer Reviews of Mark of Fitness MF-81 Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor
Customer Review: The reason to get this Blood Pressure Monitor is that my wife is pregnant now...
Summary: 5 Stars
The reason to get this Blood Pressure Monitor is that my wife is pregnant now, and we need to keep an eye on her blood pressure from time to time. Compared with a mercury monitor it has a 1% - 2% of inaccuracy but watching 90/60 or 95/65 is not real difference for us.
Is very easy to use, the battery life is good (haven't changed them in a couple of weeks of daily use) and is very light and handy to carry around.
Gave it 5 stars because has everything I need and more, it might be not as good for other people, such as persons with high blodd pressure problems, but for us is the best.
Customer Review: I have had this instrument for about 3 weeks and have found it very useful in monitoring my progress toward lowering my blood pressure.
Summary: 4 Stars
I have had this instrument for about 3 weeks and have found it very useful in monitoring my progress toward lowering my blood pressure. I have started a walking regimen and have noted a distinct improvement in my BP. Being able to observe the benefit of exercise on a daily basis provides an added incentive to continue slogging on. Nice little machine, well worth the money.Customer Review: I recommend it heartily.
Summary: 5 Stars
I have several blood pressure monitors, and this one is by far my favorite. It is as accurate as my bicep monitor, and far less noisy, cumbersome and inconvenient. I recommend it heartily.Customer Review: This is highly dependent on the position if your hand ...
Summary: 1 Stars
Hi,
Every time I have taken the readings , I have got the supprising results , which no where match with the one while taken at the doctor.This is highly dependent on the position if your hand , accuracy is very less.
Customer Review: When using my wrist monitor I always take the reading while seated and place my wrist lightly against my chest where it will be elevated at approximately the same height as my heart...
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had mine for about six months and have found it to be both convenient and consistently accurate. Any criticisms are likely due to the user not being familiar with how to take blood pressure. Most people know that blood pressure can vary between successive readings, regardless of the instrument used. Position of the cuff with respect of its elevation can also affect readings. An arm cuff is placed at very nearly the same height as the heart, which is ideal. When using my wrist monitor I always take the reading while seated and place my wrist lightly against my chest where it will be elevated at approximately the same height as my heart, and I get very accurate and consistant readings. Sometimes after exercise or mentally stressful events I will wait a minute or two for my body to readjust, take three successive readings, and accept an average of the second two as my "correct" blood pressure. Other averaging methods may work as well.
Overall, my health is pretty good except for mild hypertension. The last time I visited my specialist M.D. his nurse took my blood pressure with a wrist instrument. The old arm cuff was no longer being used. The reading was fairly consistent with those of my wrist instrument and the cuff monitor at Wal-Mart. The Mark of Fitness BP monitor is also one of the very few wrist monitors approved for accuracy by the German government health agency, and this influenced my decision to purchase this brand in preference to the others. I have no regrets.
I have never had to change batteries so I can't comment on battery life. In my opinion this is the best BP wrist monitor available regardless of price and I give it a very solid five stars.
