Omron HEM-780 Review
As a primary care physician, I’ve seen a lot of BP monitors that my patients bring to the office to check for accuracy and other features. This one seems to be the best. The easy to apply cuff, auto inflation, its accuracy, the memory, the averaging feature, the AC converter all make it worth the slightly higher price over other Omrons, which I consider the most accurate brand. Since I too have high blood pressure, I decided to buy one myself!

I work for a major rx chain, have sold many of these models. This one is the best of the omron line. The cuff is awesome, easy to wrap around the arm. We sell this unit for 1oo bucks. I should have bought mine at amazon.

I haven’t had the chance to conpare this unit to the readings at the doctors office (taking them at the same time). But I have taken readings at the drug store and then 5 min later taking it at home. It does seem to give true readings. They has never been any really off readings. No wild swings.
It is very easy to use and comes with good instructions and a nice carrying case. Makes it easy to take on vacation with you. AC adapter makes it where you don’t have to worry about dead batteries.

It’s made routine BP checks eeeeeasy… so now I actually *do* check my BP instead of just intending to check. The display is big enough to read easily, even if I’ve forgotten my reading glasses (again). I’ve used the memory (last 90 results) to show a month-long trend to the doctor while in the process of changing BP meds. Some have found the “ComFit Cuff” too tight, but it fits my arm nicely (I’m 205 lb, 6′1″). The only thing I’d change is to have the built-in “average” function do an average over the last 20 measurements instead of the last 3 — but that’s probably just a personal preference.
