This is an easy way to take Bp without the hassle of a seperate stethescope and it fits into one small carrying bag. It does the job it’s meant to do and is accurate every time. Not the best choice if you are going to be taking your own Bp, but great for doing others and easy to learn use for family members.
I had tried the electronic kind of BP monitor and found them unreliable.
I have taken my own blood pressure for many years. I’ve learned much from doing it. I had a manual unit from a local drug store, 8 years old but very accurate. Still it is wearing out.
This Life Source unit is of better quality (construction, etc.) than my drug store model. I cross check with my old unit and of course doctor visits. This unit is very accurate.
It takes just a little practice to learn to do this yourself
I own several different electronic blood pressure testers, and each of them gives a different value when I test my blood pressure. Some register higher and others lower. It can be confusing and cause problems.
Some time back I rushed off to an emergency hospital thinking my blood pressure had gone through the roof, because my expensive new electronic tester showed my blood pressure kept going up every few minutes.
All that had gone up was my systolic pressure because of the panic and fear caused by the wrong diastolic reading on the machine.
With the old fashioned sphygmomanometer I can always see very quickly where my blood pressure is at. I can soon tell when it has gone excessively high, and I don’t have the fear of waiting while the electronic tester pumps and repumps and slowly ticks down to reveal a high blood pressure.
Talk about white coat hypertension? I think these electronic testers cause it more than sitting in a doctors office.
If your bp fluctuates a lot I highly recommend you get this simple tester. It comes with the stethoscope connected making it really easy to test your pressure any time.
It takes a bit of practice to use it, but you need to go slow and not be in a hurry to let the air out too quickly, or you miss the readings. But the great thing is you can very quickly pump up and find the top reading, and very quickly let it out to find the bottom reading, without waiting through the painful beeping of the other electronic monitors until the final reading shows.
Try using it on both arms also to compare readings. And you will soon get to know your body and your regular blood pressure readings. Then you can confirm with the other monitors and see how accurate or inaccurate they are.

Can’t go wrong here!
In my opinion this is a great little, all-in-one blood pressure monitor. I’ve been a licensed nursing assistant in Connecticut, an ER technician in North Carolina and a licensed…

Ecellent home BP monitor
Our old monitor stopped working so after doing some research bought this one based on positive reviews. It is an excellent home monitor at a very reasonable price.
