" ... I had to take my blood pressure multiple times to ascertain which reading was correct. ... "
" ... The cuff didnt make it a year before it fell apart. ... "
" ... Even in Dr. offices where they use Welch Allyn equipment, they sat me down, placed the cuff on my arm and started the reading right away. ... Then it is tricky to get the permanent folds that come in the cuff straightened out to where it fits normal. ... The nurse who placed it on my arm when testing, fussed with the strangeness of it. ... The culprit for whether an arm hurts on inflation or not, depends on how high the Systolic blood Pressure reading ends up being. ... Add to that number another 30 or so points of over-inflation and there is the reason for discomfort or pain. ... "
" ... We even purchased a larger cuff thinking that may be the issue but that wasn't the case. ... "
" ... I do not recommend this device unless you have normal blood pressure and want to feel what hypertension feels like. ... "
" ... Also there is a slight difference in weight and overall construction feel of the legit and bobo brand. ... "
" ... I've tried the cuffs on both the right and left arms, on both myself, and my husband. ... The E01- (cuff is not secure, readjust the cuff, relax for a moment, then measure again) message is the only result I can obtain. ... Changed the cuff out. ... "
" ... If you seriously need to evaluate your blood pressure ( for example, possible BP medication ), I don't recommend this device. ... "

" ... I get some 10 point spikes and drops from what seems an average. ... "
