Omron HEM-790IT

Alright, I'm not too happy about buying one of these, but since my doctor told me to buy a good one, I did some research and here's where I landed. Amazon's price blew away any local retailer. Too bad for… them, but I just can't afford to pay twice as much locally. This thing works great, and I can take measurements in the morning and at night and have it average my readings. My wife can also use it to show off while not messing up my history. Good product!

Hi, I bought this and used it for the last 3 weeks. It is very accurate (tested at doctors office against their machine (same brand)). The software and computer link up provides good information and the… doctor was impressed with the data it supplied. This device is very good and I recommend this model if you want to keep track of you blood pressure, but do not want to write it down. You can buy lesser models of the same brand, but for the ease of use factor of the software interface, I highly recommend spending the x more dollars to get this model. It is a good value and works well.

The Omron HEM-790IT is an easy to use BP monitor. It seems to be consistent and accurate. Make sure you set the date and time correctly on the machine and don't accidentally change it because once you… download the data into its "Not Quite so" Advanced Management Software you are stuck with it. Yes there is NO WAY to edit your data once it is downloaded. This means you cannot delete errant data either. There is no end to the irritation that this causes me. That alone made my blood pressure shoot sky high. I was able go into their program and find the data base file "omron.mdb". I thought that I could edit the data directly myself but it was password protected. Don't expect any help from their tech support because you won't get any. I eventually cracked the password myself hence making the software satisfactorily usable. If I was not able to do that I would have returned the machine for a cheaper one, and not pay the extra price for their worthless software. I gave this a 2-star based on the software. I would give it a 4-star based on the BP monitor. It could use a slightly longer connection hose.
