Greater Goods Bluetooth Blood Pressure Monitor with Upper Arm Cuff, BP Meter with Large Display, Tubing and Device Bag Included

This is a nice, light unit. Seems accurate, similar to our Omron. App and device were both very easy to set up - just a few minutes - and the Bluetooth hooked up right away. The numbers on the monitor are large and easy to read. The app is very clean, with a few simple options, and it's a matter of a couple of taps to email your BP history to yourself.Our main reason for buying this was to track both my and my husbands blood pressure stats.The unit has an A/B switch, and the software allows you to set up both A and B, but it mixes those numbers together when showing averages onscreen, and there is no indication of A or B on the CSV file. This makes me think that the A/B is mainly for use in storage on the unit itself, but then...why does the app bother having you set A and B when setting up?So completely separate accounts are required. We own one Android phone, so both accounts are in the same app.Rather than load the app, hit A, take my BP, hit B, take his BP, which is what I expected...I need to load the app, log in using my email address and password, take a BP reading (and it doesn't matter whether it is A or B, lol), then log out of my account, log back into the account with his email address and password, and then take his BP.It's kind of a PIA, and is actually slower than doing it manually, which is the way we've been doing it, and what we were trying to get away from. :PI will use this device for my husband, and find another product/brand for myself so it uses a different app, or perhaps find a unit that more easily allows multiple users. I'm a bit disappointed. We were hoping this would simplify things for us.If you are using this for yourself, it appears to be a great little unit, great price. If you need to store data for two different people, and are like normal people who own more than one android/iphone - lol - also a great unit for you.If you're like us, and own one phone, and are looking for a device to easily track two people in the simplest manner possible, this might not the right product for you. :)

This is my first blood pressure monitor, so I don't know how it compares to others and can't speak to accuracy, but I like it so far. I've been using it every day for about 2 weeks. It is easy to use for measurements, easy to pair with both Android and iPhone, and easy to set up 2 different profiles.You can use the plug, but it also takes 4 AAA batteries. I use it with rechargeable batteries so I can move it around and I don't forget to measure each day.It syncs flawlessly every time, and if you have an iPhone and want it to sync with Healthkit, the app does that easily too. The app is minimal, but it does everything it needs to do. I'm really glad I decided to get the Bluetooth one to save myself manual entry.At first I was annoyed by the cuff; it is hard to get to fit and position correctly. I figured out it was so difficult because it is too big around and too long for me -- I'm only 5'1" and the circumference of my arm is 12" if that helps anyone out there. So I reached out to customer service to buy a smaller cuff, and they sent me one for free!I'll update this if I have any issues, but this is a great and affordable option for monitoring blood pressure at home.

I have been using the Omron 10 BP785N https://www.amazon.com/Omron-Upper-Pressure-Monitor-Standard/dp/B00KPQB2SS/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?keywords=omron 10&qid=1560386740&s=gateway&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1 daily for a while now. I have been overall satisfied with it, although I don't like writing down the results twice daily and keying it into my phone app.I was thinking about getting the wireless version Omron 10 BP786N, but there are a lot of complaints that the Bluetooth will not connect. Omron specifically listed my phone, the Samsung Galaxy S7 Android version 8, as not being compatible. (Only Android ver. 6 and 7, although I'm sure it would probably work with ver. 8.)Rather than take the chance of it not being returnable, and since I saw this unit on sale at Amazon, and since this unit has many positive reviews about Bluetooth successfully connecting with phones, I decided to give it a try.Not really thinking about the cuff, I am surprised at how difficult it is to tighten it with one hand. Using the right hand to tighten the left arm is doable. But it is VERY difficult to tighten the right arm with the left hand.The Omron 10 unit comes with a "Easy-Wrap ComFit Cuff" CFX-WR17 (which can be purchased fairly inexpensively) which is a "Pre-formed expandable firm arm cuff ". This cuff makes it extremely easy to connect to your arm. I decided to try it out on this machine. The Omron cuff fits perfectly into the Balance BP Monitor. I tested out both units with both cuffs, and the readings appear to be reasonably the same. I actually have 3 of these Omron cuffs (since one wore out) and I plan on comparing both machines for a while until I'm satisfied. https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00P6SATT8 If you are going to do this twice daily, you might as well be comfortable doing it IMHO.So, the setup with Bluetooth was extremely user friendly. You just open the app on your phone and follow the instructions. You hold the arrow up on the device until the pairing message comes up, and the app on your phone connects to it on its own. I always have Bluetooth active on my phone, so the app found the BP monitor within seconds.The app itself is rather limited, but it works. I found that it is best to have the app open when taking a reading. It will update automatically that way. OTOH, if you choose to take readings with the app shutdown, it will sync up the next time you open it. (Although, this seems to take longer than one would expect.) I had tested the app before I got the device, so I sent myself a history list via email, and it works fine. The only modification you can make to the app is to add a note. Of course you can always edit the CSV file.I am used to using a very detailed (paid version) app called "Blood Pressure Log - MyDiary" https://www.amazon.com/Zlamaniec-Blood-Pressure-Log-MyDiary/dp/B0178M2LDG - I may find it tough to break away from that, since it gives all kinds of averages for my Doctor. But, I ALSO like not having to key everything in, so we will see.The readings seem to be pretty much equivalent to my Omron 10. Seeing as I am reviewing this product just hours after receiving it, I can't say for sure how accurate it is. I can say it is not very far off. I can say that the Omron 10 is much more consistent than a couple of the wrist monitors I've tried. So, I am hoping that this unit will have the same consistency.Overall, so far, I am very satisfied.--------------------------------------------------------UPDATE 7/17/2019--------------------------------------------------------So, about the cuff. I have been using the cuff that came with the device. Instead of trying to wrap the cuff around my arm for each use, I am leaving it velcroed at all times. Then I slide the cuff on and off. Not only does this make it easier to put on, but it also saves the Velcro from weakening.Further, I can safely say that this machine is pretty consistent. I have been using it side by side with the Omron 10 arm model. Last week's average for the Omron was 115/69 while the Greatergoods average was 120/68. So, I can certainly live with a few points here or there.The Bluetooth seems to work very well. For the best results, I recommend opening up the app on your phone before you start reading your blood pressure. I always test the left and the right arm, and this machine usually reads both readings to the phone (via Bluetooth) very consistently.For the price,. this is a very good unit.
