Didn't meet my expectations

Accurate, Easy To Use
Cons:
Bulky Design, Inaccurate Results
Best Uses:
Home Use, Hypertension
Describe Yourself:

Primary use:

Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I use it to monitor blood pressure at home to ascertain if it is within a normal range.
Comfort of device. I have large upper arms which cuffs sold in mass market stores can not accomodate and this one is able to do so.
Lack of portability. Device does not have a rechargable battery pack option. It uses either household current or batteries. Monitor is bulky. One must place device on flat surface to obtain reading.

What a great blood pressure monitor! You can even use it strictly on batteries for even greater convenience. The ability to record readings is also very nice, as well as the pulse monitor, which was never described in Brookstone's catalog copy.

The only complaint (I'm trying to think of something) is that it's not quite as comfortable as the models at the supermarket etc... I'm simply trying to provide some context to how pleased I am with the unit--there's nothing material to complain about. The manual's pretty good, as well.
