Omron, from our local Chemist is very accurate. About $70 from memory

We Aussies always get screwed on price.
Bought an Omron blood pressure monitor in Adelaide a few years back, over $100, shortly after we visited the US, found a better featured Omron for $30.
They are still available in the US for $50.

I have an Omron too, as does my Cardiologist when at his Suburban surgery.
He gets me to use his device on my annual visits .. checking my technique I suppose. I take mine along to check calibration against his. It's always correct.
BTW, he is only interested in the first reading, (Systolic) and has me take 3 readings in succession as I do at least once a week. He puts a big cross through the Dia & pulse recordings if I was dumb enough to record them & gives me a lecture on why the Dia is of no importance. My GP prefers them all.

If you need a lower reading do it standing up!
Other half is in hospital 3 days a week. I've taken our Omron in & compared it to the Welch Allyn Connex Vital Signs Monitor. Doing alternate reading a dozen times in a row. The Omron was the same within reason, maybe a touch higher.
Also used the hospital's Welch Allyn 767 analogue pressure gauge. It works just as well.
The nurses are more than happy for me to take readings to save them some time.

I was worried about blood pressure effects, but mine stayed normal. I only experienced slight flushing and a stuffy nose.fildena 100 Reviews:If you dont have heart problems, its likely safe, worked for ED, but my BP dropped too much, making me lightheaded. My doctor switched me to a lower dose, but I still had issues. Might not be for everyone with low BP."

I originally had a Priceline but the readings were always all over the place, (perhaps I was not using it correctly)
I now have an Omron (a bit on the expensive side). $160 odd from Terry White Chemist
It seems to be more consistent in the readings, also I have paired it to my Samsung Tablet, so the readings are saved
This saves me writing the readings down

I used an Omron for a few years until the display died. I haven't bothered since because it was always much the same; good, but boring...

G'day.. New member here, but I do have a request...
Considering that Omron does make 13 model of Blood pressure monitors, would it kill you guys to also include the model you have..
I think it would help a bit more in making a better decision..
Just saying..

Hi Burt65
The model I have is OMRON HEM-7144T1 with the 22-42cm arm cuff I did not realise that there was more than one model
I went into a chemist, which just happened to be a Terry White Chemist
I asked for a free blood pressure test, after the test I asked to buy that particular model, which happened to be OMRON
The chemist lady, did say that although it was the most expensive, it was the best, in her opinion

Thanks mate.
Much appreciated..
I didn't know they make that many either. I only discover that when the page open with all the different model..

Just a heads up
Opened the OMRON app on my Galaxy Tablet phone
There was a notice to allow the OMRON to connect to and receive messages from phone, I declined this offer
OMRON wiped all the blood pressure readings from tablet phone
I had to reset the OMRON to once again, to pair with the tablet, to get all the blood pressure readings back
Thought that this was a bit intrusive, so no longer recommend OMRON as not sure if automatic transfer will work without internet
Not COMplaining just EXplaining

FYI ..
I have been using an OMRON HEM-7121 for several years.
It is the same as the one that my Coronary Specialist, an Associate Professor at Uni of Qld, uses at his satellite consulting rooms. I compare my readings to his from time to time. Always correct.
BTW .. He insists that I take three readings at each of my at home sessions, in the evening every 1st of the month and it most vocal in advising that the only reading of importance is the Systolic one. He states that this was established as far back as the 1980's (I think).
I also suffer from the 'White Coat effect' where my reading goes up about 15 - 20 points when the test is done in the consulting rooms, which he has me take myself. Probably looking at my technique. My usual Sys reading at home is a fantastic 128.

Visit local Pharmacist regularly - they can also advise on the readings.
