Review: Reliable, Accurate & Great Value – Still Going Strong After 7 Years - We’ve been using this blood pressure monitor regularly for the past 7 years for my mother, and it’s held up incredibly well with no issues. It’s very simple to use, and the readings have been consistent over time, which is really reassuring when monitoring health at home. It offers very good value for money compared to others on the market, especially considering how durable it has been. The only downside is that the standard cuff was slightly small, so we had to order a separate large cuff (for reference, she is a UK size 18). Once we had the correct cuff size, it worked perfectly. Overall, a reliable and worthwhile purchase that has lasted us years; highly recommend!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Would like to return the m2 basic i bought, should have bought a model that connected to store the data on. could you please advise ?**
A: If you enter the data yourself into any of the many smartphone apps you will be more aware of the state of your blood pressure  and any comsistent changes than if you surrender it to an automated function. Personally I see no need to pay more if the basic sensing capability is adequate.

**Q: Do I need to buy a battery with this product?**
A: It comes with four AA batteries needed to power the monitor. You then need to buy new batteries after they run down. You get lots of use before the monitor indicates low battery.

**Q: Received today. New batteries (tried another new set) shows only half charge. Pump slows enormously when increasing pressure. Is this normal?**
A: I had the same problem. Just send it back and buy one that works - just make sure you buy a clinically validated device from a reputable company. There are a few devices on Amazon that are non clinically validated for accuracy, that aren’t much better than cheap toys!

**Q: can you get cuff sizes in large size**
A: We can get a large size but the price is 25 euro, the best plan is to buy an Omron M3 IT with a large -medium

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reliable, Accurate & Great Value – Still Going Strong After 7 Years

A very easy to use monitor that appears accurate. It's a well made item and the readings are consistent, so it gives me confidence that it's working well. For the money this is great value and I would highly recommend this product.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Useless, but shouldn't be. (see update)
*by R***N on 10 November 2016*

I may have reviewed this higher if I could actually use it, but like most negative reviews its entirely down to the cuff. It simply is too small to fit on my (roughly average) biceps. The cuff claims to be up to 13" or 32cm, which should have immediately raised a red flag as 13" is 33cm. (32cm is 12.5") When I measured it, the largest possible size you could wrap the cuff around was in fact 32cm, but that was way outside the maximum line marked on the cuff itself. If you wrap the cuff on its maximum line. It can fit a 29cm (or just over 11") bicep. The second biggest complaint I've read is that the M2 isn't accurate. Now using a too tight cuff is a near guarantee of getting too high readings, so a 29cm/11.4" biceps are the largest it is safe to use with this cuff; far smaller than advertised. -- There is a huge difference between squeezing into a pair of jeans and a Medical Device used to monitor your heart. Now the average male Bicep is around 13"-13.5", so a large proportion of adults will be unable to use this device (including myself), even is the cuff was as big as advertised. If there was an option to buy it with the larger cuff from the start it would solve many of these problems. EDIT: Not long after posting this review I found out that Omron do a free cuff exchange if you need one. The process is a little time consuming, but for me was worth it. With the large cuff, the machine works brilliantly and is well worth recommending. The above doesn't take away from the fact a large cuff should have been an option from the start.
