Many people seem to think you have to be a hypochondriac to own medical devices like this. As a trained paramedic, albeit a long time ago, I totally refute this claim. The poor NHS is on its knees trying to cope with the demand for their services. It’s our duty to help by taking care of our own health as much as we can. Blood pressure is a great insight to our general health. As a sufferer of hypertension (high blood pressure) it’s important for me to know if the tablets are doing their job or not.
This blood pressure monitor from 1byone is a relatively low cost but well-made example of a home blood pressure tester. There are cheaper wrist testers about they aren’t very accurate. Upper arm cuffs, like this one, give the best accuracy. The cuff is easy to use with its Velcro fastenings and printed markings to the best positioning. The display on the monitor is large and easy to read. It shows the usual two pressure readings and also your heart rate. It will also display a warning if your pulse hasn’t got a regular beat. This is very useful in my own case.
The only negative I would have is that the pipe running from the cuff to the monitor is a little short. Not a deal breaker though.
At £25.99, at time of writing, it’s very economical to buy for such a quality and useful blood pressure monitor. 100% recommended.
I hope you found my review helpful.
