Omron - 10 SERIES CONNECTED Advanced Accuracy Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor - Gray/White/Black

I had looked at several brands and decieded on Omron. It had the features that I was interested in. I noticed a lot of Dr Offices and clinics use this brand as well. I wanted something that would be easy to keep a record of my BP to show my Dr. The cuff is easy to slide on and use vs the other types that are hard to fasten. It’s formed in a round shape, slide it on, then just wrap the remaining part to the Velcro. Two people can record their stats by switching between user 1 and user 2. You can also use the “guest” mode for anyone using it. Pairing it to my phone was easy. It has the mode where it will take 3 readings and avg them out, which I don’t use. You can email the readings to someone from the app on your phone/tablet. It works with Apples Health app if you allow that permission. This allows you to have all your health data/stats in one place if you choose. Apple hopefully will update this app, as it is hard to export the data from there. It can be battery powered or use the included AC adaptor, I just use the batteries. I would recommend this product. It may have more features than you need, but this was what I wanted.

This is my first purchase of a Blood Pressure monitor beware that the cuff is pre-formed and difficult to use. I sent a question to Omron once regarding the cuff and wanted to know if there was a cuff for this particular machine that had a D ring instead of that pre-formed cuff. Apparently there is not. The last person I spoke with told me to put my arm against the wall to help to tighten the cuff since I have no one to help with this. I'm VERY displeased and find that apparently it's too late to return this to Best Buy. So there goes &65.00 down the tube. I know that's my fault, since I should have returned it sooner, but I was constantly searching the internet hoping to find a cuff that would fit this machine with a D-ring. Oh, also the app to transfer readings to is not the greatest. Sometimes it does, sometime it doesn't.

The blue-tooth function was extremely frustrating at first but I got it working after much trial and error. I have a Galaxy S3 running Android 4.4.2. It would "pair" without any problems but when trying to transfer readings it would consistently say that it couldn't find the bp786. I finally found another review where a guy had said that the phone cannot be connected to any other devices. I have a garmin watch that connects to my phone via blue-tooth so I turned it off to see if that would solve the problem. Once I did that the transfer worked as advertised. So... if you're phone is connected to any other blue-tooth devices, try disconnecting them if you're having issues with transfers. Overall I'm pleased with the device now that I got it working.

I bought the Omron BP976 on my Doctor's orders and recommendation for the particular brand. It does everything I need (& Dr. ordered) and is very simple to use. The unit takes my pressure consistently (as measured against other unit I borrowed to compare/test it) and easily. I was skeptical of the unit after reading so many reviews about Bluetooth connectivity but had no problems since buying the unit two months ago. The first pairing took some time but was no problem after I broke down and actually read the instructions. I've had one problem with connectivity but resolved it by repairing the unit with my smartphone and no problems since. I Would definitely recommend this unit.

Received my Omron Series BP 786 last evening, so these are the very first impressions. It seems like a user friendly device though I am still discovering the various features it comes with. This device is pretty easy to operate. Out of the box, plug in the cuff, plug it in, set the date and time, and hit start. Very straightforward and easy. The enclosed quick start instructions were very clear on how to position the cuff, etc. The display is back-lit and easy to read. Overall, seems like a good buy. There's just one issue though. At the time of purchase the overview on the best buy site mentioned that this unit came with a carrying case, which it did not?!

I am very pleased with this Omron monitor. It is very easy to use and understand. The readouts are highlighted in big easy to read numbers. It has the ability to keep track of two persons readings with the ability to store one hundred readings for both persons. It has LED lights to show if a reading is high, (orange lights) or within normal limits, (green lights) . Its accuracy seems to be very good. I told my heart doctor that I have this model and he feels I made the right choice in purchasing this model as he is familiar with it and feels Omron is the best one can buy. I highly recommend this model and am very happy with it. I have had it for a month now. Best Buy has the best price and as always, was very helpful in selecting this Omron model.

Pros: Quiet, fast operation, easy to use cuff, large easy to read display, Bluetooth link to smartphone for recording data history. Cons: Readings are inconsistent with my doctors' (my primary physician AND my cardiologist) office readings. This is the fourth machine I've tried calibrate in the doctor's office without success so my assessment is that none are accurate and I must not rely on the absolute value of the readings but rather treat them as indicators of any pattern of change in BP.` I'm keeping this one even though I feel it's not any more accurate rhan others I've tried because it's the easierst and most convenient to use.

Device worked well out of the box. Guide book was helpful and although the product was easy to use with a guidebook and instruction manual, it could have been designed to be a bit more intuitive. Also, it only comes with one length in cuff so if there is a very short distance from upper part of arm to elbow, make sure you measure and then compare to cuff measurements to be sure the unit will work for you with the length of cuff that comes with the unit. I do like the features of being able to track readings over time for 2 people. Consumer Reports seems to rate this unit quite high - another plus.
