Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)There are lots of blood pressure cuffs for home monitoring that are out there. This one is the HEM-711DLX and is exactly in the middle of the Omron line up for over-the-arm blood pressure cuffs. Over the arm blood pressure cuffs are considered to be more accurate than wrist cuffs or finger cuffs. They are also less expensive than the wrist or finger cuffs in most cases.
The unit is easy to use and is straight forward to operate. It is easy to apply the cuff and all you do is press a button. The blood pressure correlates well with manual readings and my doctor's readings. Once you set the time, date, and year the memory feature is helpful so that you don't have to record all of your readings to paper or your computer at once. The cuff remembers the last 60 readings with a time and date stamp.
There may be other companies that produce quality cuffs, but Omron has always worked well for me. I have been impressed with the accuracy and the reliability of these cuffs. The company produces other cuffs, but I felt that this one hit the sweet spot for features and price.
The other Omron cuffs are as follows:
1. Omron HEM-432 Manual Blood Pressure Monitor
2. Omron HEM-712C Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor with IntelliSense
3. Omron HEM-780 Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor with ComFit Cuff
4. Omron Ultra Premium Digital Blood Pressure Monitor
All of these cuffs are easy to use, accurate, and reasonable options. After trialing most of them, I felt that the HEM 711-DLX offered reasonable features at a reasonable price and made the most sense.
The lowest priced model (HEM-432) was just as accurate, but required manual inflation and had a more difficult to apply blood pressure cuff. Manually inflating the cuff was at best an annoyance and resulted in errors from under inflation. The low line model also had a cuff that was a little harder to apply with one hand, the HEM 711-DLX has one that has a contoured side that made it easy to place and velcro the cuff in place.
The second lowest priced model (HEM-712C) worked well, but for about 10 dollars more, I was able to get a model with the easier to apply cuff and increase the warranty from 2 to 5 years. I felt this was worth it, but the HEM 712C is still an accurate and worthy model.
I didn't see an advantage to the HEM-780. It does have the 'TruRead' feature, whereby the blood pressure cuff takes three consecutive readings over three minutes and averages them. It also has a larger memory and can record blood pressures for two users. I didn't think that these added much for me. If my wife wanted to have the unit record her pressures too, I might have gone for it.
As to the HEM-790IT, Ultra Premium model, I didn't feel that I needed to download my blood pressures to a computer. If you like this kind of feature (which sounds kind of neat), this cuff is for you. I transcribe the blood pressures to my computer manually, so this was not a big selling point for me.
