Walking has many health benefits and it does not cost a thing to do it. For your health and motivation, be determined to fit walking into your schedule even if you can't find the time to do anything else. However, first make sure you have a full physical and get permission from your doctor to engage in this activity. Also, for safety reasons, especially if you are a female, find a safe neighborhood, or a populated park to walk in where there are plenty of other people around. You can also form a walking club with your neighbors, or friends to make it fun. Make it a goal to be accountable to each other to walk at least three times a week. It's great exercise for your heart, can reduce stress, as well as lower your blood pressure, and help you lose weight if you walk consistently. We have included some of our favorite health gadgets on our website which you may find useful in your fitness endeavors. Most of all, just get out and walk. It's fun and it's free!
Next week, I'll share with you specifically why I started walking!

Product works great- analysis software is problematic,
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.

|Six stars..not 5,
Super accurate…
I was using a wrist kit until I read Consumers Reports about this one.
The wrist kit was reading 10 points high consistently !
I was pleasantly surprised TO FIND that my blood pressure is now NORMAL !
Very accurate..
I love the 3x averaging feature.

|Great Item,
This pressure monitor is great! I have no cons whatsoever: VERY easy to use, comes with two arm band sizes, and works both on batteries and plugged on a wall outlet.
I didn’t try the software, because the internal memory of the device is more than enough for my needs.
I would certainly recommend it.
