Omron HEM-711AC Review
Two of the previous reviewers noted that their monitors didn’t accurately read their blood pressure. I’m wondering if they made the same mistake that I made with my first two readings. My first two readings were 20 points higher than normal!! And then I read the instructions and realized that the air pump had to be on the same side as the palm of your hand. Tried a third time, making sure I had the air pump properly positioned. The next reading was normal. What a relief. When I was researching which monitor to get, I debated between the Omron HEM-780 and this one. For whatever reason, the HEM-780 sells more on Amazon. The only advantages I could see, however, were that it had a larger cuff, a so-called Comfit cuff, and saves the last 90 readings rather than the last 60. What sold me on this unit, however, was a feature that the HEM-780 doesn’t have — an irregular heart beat indicator (not mentioned in the Amazon.com description but shown in the PDF of the owner’s manual at www.omronhealthcare.com). Since the 9″-13″ upper arm cuff was fine for me, I bought this unit and it’s perfect for my needs. The Omron technology is otherwise the same for both units and the cuff on this unit is also comfortable so no need for the Comfit cuff. If you need a larger cuff (up to 17″), buy the HEM-780. If not, save the $12, get the same technology with the added bonus of the irregular heart beat indicator.
I ordered this blood pressure monitor after checking several online reviews. The Omron HEM 711A/C had the best ratings compared to other brands within the same priceline. I began shopping for the best price and Amazon beat the competitors by $20 or more. Amazon also offered free shipping with purchase. Since receiving this monitor my family has found it very simple to operate and that makes it more likely to be used. This unit offers ease of use and is capable of running on battery or electric power. I am very pleased with this purchase.
I bought this monitor after using my granpa’s (which he’s used for 5 years) and reading reviews online. So far, I have been satisfied with the product as it seems to be built very well. The only reason I wouldn’t give it five stars is because the memory and other interface functions are very simple and do not have many advanced features. It does keep an average, however, which is good.
