Consumer Reports offers a timely and thorough report of 16 top-selling blood pressure monitors, including the Omron HEM-711AC. About.com also includes some reviews. Contributors to Amazon.com offer many detailed user reviews on the HEM-711AC.

The Omron HEM-711AC is an inexpensive choice for users looking for a reliable arm blood pressure monitor. Compared to the Omron HEM-650 Wrist monitor (*est. $40), another budget- friendly monitor, the HEM-711AC is quiet and easy to use, according to reviewers. Helpful features include 60-readout memory recall and an included electrical adaptor. The downside is that the HEM-711AC has a small cuff, limiting use for larger arms. Some reviewers complain that the monitor lacks a positioning sensor, which can lead to inconsistent readings. Some users also find the large size clumsy, making it difficult to use.
