This is a super piece of Kit, well made, and it's readings are close enough to those taken with a mercury sphygmomanometer at the doctors surgery to be reliable. I bought it so it could download the readings to my PC, which works fine (unfortunately NOT mac compatible) It also records your pulse. The software is easy to use, and the display is fine, but if you're a bit of a spreadsheet nut, you can download the data, and make your own graphs etc! I did have a problem with loading the software (looking for a wrong Drive), but solved it easily enough with Windoze help!
The machine is easily portable and discrete - so can be taken anywhere. I had to buy the large cuff to suit my arm, and the standard cuff that came with it comes in handy if others want a reading taking!
I'm trying hard to improve my BP etc, and I've also got the OMRON Walking Style Pro Pedometer, which links with the same software (though can only be bought via a company called "fitbug" - an online subscription "weightwatchers"! If you want to keep track of your BP, and are happy with using your PC, then go for it. I think there is another OMRON BP monitor that can be used with this kit, so choose the right one for you!
Would have 5*'s except for the software bug!
