During normal operation (replacing the batteries) a small piece of plastic broke on the battery cap latch. Because the connector springs/coils are on the cap, the unit would no longer power up as the force exerted by the batteries is enough to push the cap off without the latch. This renders the product useless. I inquired via the support email if i could get a replacement battery cap. I was informed that the unit was out of warranty and that i would have to buy a new device. I'm ok with this being out of warranty, fair enough, but having no other option but to throw away a perfectly working device is shamefully wasteful in my opinion. Again the only thing wrong with it is the broken latch on the battery cap. I'm frustrated with Qardio because 1) I believe this is a design flaw, and 2) they offer no options to replace the cap other than buying a new unit altogether. I will be researching other like devices, being sure to pay attention to reviews such as this so I don’t get burned again.

Blood pressure records stored and easy to retrieve, send/email to doctors. Only down side is having to replace batteries, wish it was rechargeable.

This is the second time I bought this blood pressure machine the first was stolen. What I like this monitor is accuracy I have a bigger better quality monitor and compare the difference, it basically has the same result and with the advantage of being portable. It's small and easy to fit in my pocket when I travel. It's a bit pricey for a monitor but I rather spend more than risk of taking medication for false reading. There you have it, accurate reading, small and easy to carry.

I had been looking at the QardioArm product for some time. The QardioArm nicely interfaces with your iPhone/Apple Watch as well as with the Health app. (There is also an Android app.). After a recent annual physical I thought it would be a good idea to periodically track my blood pressure. QardioArm works as claimed and I had found that the blood pressure readings are very repeatable and consistent with those taken in my doctor’s office. The only quirk that I have found is that if you have multiple users, the last user needs to momentarily turn off Bluetooth so that QuardioArm disconnects and the other user can connect.

Easy to use, accurate and reliable. I like the way it records the results over time making it easy to track progress and report to doctor.
