Microlife 3MC1-PC Ultimate Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor with Irregular Heartbeat Detection Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have never had luck with the cheaper machines, especially the Omron. For whatever reason, they just do not give me consistent or accurate readings-as measured against those in a doctor's office. My arm is normal sized-maybe I am just dense?
Anyway, this is one of the few machines I have found that is consistently in agreement with the machine my doctor uses. As other reviewers have done, I have brought this machine with me and had its readings checked against a known standard, and got the same results.
The machine shipped with multiple cuffs and a nicely-made zippered carrying case in which the machine and cuffs actually fit!
The unit seems well made, and things fit together without it feeling cheap. The unit is bigger than you might expect- more of a table-top size than handheld, and will not fit in your pocket or purse. It also has a small area where notes can be displayed- or the little BP guide that ships with the unit.
I have been using it for about 3 months now, and with no problems. It has a feature whereby it takes three readings, and averages the results. It also appears to discard any outlying readings, so occasionally it takes 4 readings-which I am sure results in a much more accurate reading.
Highlights:
1. It is simple to operate. Put on the cuff- which is well marked for orientation- and press the button.
2. It fits into its carrying case without a lot of gyrations...not always the case with home health equipment
3. The batteries have lasted at least 3 months
4. The display is large, and lights up when the test is complete. Easy to read.
5. It does support 2 users, meaning it keeps their results separate.
6. Ships with a USB cable so you can download results to PC.
7. Also has a memory feature, which will show you averages and historical results for each user.
Lowlights:
1. The PC software is a pain. Rather than a spreadsheet it uses something that looks like XML, and it is clumsy and rather unintuitive. My first effort at printing something to take to my doctor looked quite silly, and it took a little bit of work to get the data into excel.
2. The unit only supports 2 distinct users. Works great for my wife and I, but we leave the unit out on a table, and guests occasionally want to try it...something I encourage. A third user, or a guest mode would have been great.Summary:
Great unit, glad I bought it. Gives accurate, repeatable results with a minimum of fuss. Hate the software.
