A&D Medical LifeSource UA-767

The A&D Medical LifeSource UA-767 cuff-style blood-pressure monitor gets good user reviews for accuracy, and it passes professional tests as well. The cuff comes in three sizes -- small, medium and large – and owners say it's a good fit for most people. This self-inflating blood pressure monitor is easy to use with one-button fully automatic operation, a relatively large display and automatic shutoff. Blood pressure and pulse are shown simultaneously. If you prefer a wrist blood pressure monitor, reviews recommend the Omron HEM-637 (*est. $95, which gets good marks for convenience, but some users say accuracy can be an issue unless you get the positioning just right.

Owner-written reviews are the best source of information on the A&D Medical LifeSource UA-767 blood pressure monitor. Amazon.com has the largest number of posts, and that gives its overall rating the most credibility. Epinions has fewer entries, but a few stand out as being particularly thorough. There's also a short study by three researchers from the Cardiology Research Complex in Moscow, Russia, who test the LifeSource UA-767 for accuracy.
