Which blood pressure monitor is the best?

fantasyvn

Dear all,

I have bought two blood pressure monitors in the past: one is made by Omron, another is made by Lloyds Pharmacy.

My mum complained that the Lloyds one is not stable and doesn't seem very accurate. The Omron is better, but I'm not sure if it is the best.

With a budget of £100, could you pls let me know which monitors I should buy?

Thank you.

i have never had a problem with omron equipment, there one of the worlds largest manufacturers of healthcare equipment, over 100 million BP devices sold!

i have one of these wrist ones (R7) which tells you if you arm is in the correct position, it reads to within a couple of points of the one at my health centre
