Customer Reviews of Omron HEM-711AC Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor with Standard Cuff
Customer Review: Easy to use
Summary: 5 Stars
I was struggling with taking my blood pressure with a manual BP cuff. The medicine I was on made it difficult for me to hear my heartbeat so I was having to pump numerous times. To reduce my stress I decided to purchase an automatic monitor. After researching various units on the internet, I chose the Omron HEM-711AC. This unit has exceeded my expectations. Its very easy to use. It comes with a soft travel case which came in handy on a recent trip. I used the unit on the airplace and on the cruise ship as it comes with a plug, but also runs on batteries. The memory feature eliminates the need to have pen and paper handy. Just a great product.
I did check accuracy in the doctors office. The Omron reading was within 5% as long as the BP check procedures included with the machine were followed: you need to be consistent with the position of the cuff, your arm, etc.
Customer Review: Very Pleased
Summary: 5 Stars
I am very pleased with this blood pressure monitor -- not so pleased with my own blood pressure. After receiving the bad news from my doctor that my blood pressure is elevated, I researched monitors and, after reading the review at Consumer Reports, decided to purchase this particular unit. Now that I've used it, I really like it. If i take multiple readings in a short period of time, they are very consistent.
The unit very easy to use and the manual is well written -- it reads like native English and not something translated by a second year English student armed with a Chinese-English dictionary.
The unit is very well constructed -- nice and solid and well designed. The user interface is excellent. I also like the fact that I can operate the unit with batteries and not bother with the AC adapter that is also included.
Customer Review: Works as advertised - saved trips to pharmacy
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this product after being diagnosed with hypertension after hvaing severe headaches. My Dr. suggested I keep track of my BP for him to he could adjust my medicine. This saved me trips to the pharmacy several times a day. Well,just for info - I immediately quit smoking (40 yr smoker), started walking 15 mins then 30 mins a day, avoided as much salt as possible and now I'm working on getting off Micardis in less than 3 months with a lifestyle change. Getting back to the BP machine, I was able to measure my BP anytime of the day, and I usually took 6-8 readings a day and then averaged them out. Last week my Dr. said that I could half my pills for two weeks and if BP is still within normal limits then I could stop the meds. This is a good product, but if you have high BP, try to change your lifestyle as quickly as possible!Customer Review: This BP Instrument is the Gold Standard
Summary: 5 Stars
I did some research and settled on purchasing this Omron HEM-711AC Blood Pressure Monitoring Device. It is a high quality well designed machine. My expectations were met or exceeded. It works well on four AA batteries when not connected to an electrical suppy.
I have recently taken the monitor to my physician to cross check their readings with mine. There was a considerable varition today. I am switching to a large cuff to see if that reduces the variation. However, having said that, I noticed that health care providers rarely "correctly"
take BP readings. As am example, there are guidlines to suspend one's arm
at heart level, they simply don't do it. Remember folks, they are ordering medication based on these readings! Accuracy is very important.
For now... I tend to believe the Omron numbers.
Customer Review: Outstanding Product and Outstanding Customer Service!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best blood pressure monitor I have ever used. I took it to my doctor's office to check it against theirs, and even they were impressed. It makes the process of taking your blood pressure a breeze. I would highly recommend this product to anyone that needs to check their blood pressure regularly.
As to the Amazon ordering process, once again it was simple. I ordered and they shipped before the expected ship date. They kept me informed of my order during the whole process. I order a lot of items through Amazon every year and their prices are great and the service is outstanding.I will continue to use Amazon as they have always performed well for me. Their business model stresses customer service and it shows!
Great product! Great price! Great service. God, I wish the rest of my life was this easy.
