I've purchased this manual BP monitor from Amazon for $11.99. It was really bargain. Most of all it was very accurate. My blood pressure is very stable after taking rest. But the other wrist type BP monitor(Panasonic EW3002W) which does not read consistent value. My mother had Omron 630 wrist type BP monitor which was about $70 four years ago. She really like that BP monitor and it was also accurate. It really help a lot to lower her blood pressure without any medication. It read very similar value as what she got from hospital. I believe this manual BP monitor is as accurate as my mother's with several fraction of price. Even though it is manual type, it is straight forward to use it once you take the measurement. It is obviously more bulky than wrist type BP monitor, but I would buy it again if I need it one more due to it's accuracy at real bargain.

Used a Lumiscope monitor made in Germany for over a decade and have had three "Made in China" replacements that last a month. I hoped Lumiscope would still be the same as it was, but unfortunately, it's Chinese as well. This is somewhat better than anything else out there, but the Chinese Velcro doesn't hold as well as it should. Time will tell.

As far as the price goes, this BP moniter is not bad. It was 25 bucks Canadian, at least for me, and does what it's told. Unfortunately, I don't know how to get proper readings, but I just use it for fun. The stethoscope is the main reason I bought it, as I can't seem to find any that don't come with BP moniters. The steth's ear pieces are uncomfortable, but you get used to it. Anyways, the stethoscope made it worth it, and I have the moniter around to use sometimes when I get bored. Worth the money, to me for sure.
