A few months ago, I purchased a WrisTech blood pressure monitor for my personal use. My doctor told me that I had prehypertension and needed to know how to lower my blood pressure fast. The only way I could do that is by taking my own readings every day at home.

I crossed manual monitors off my list, as I felt they would be too much of a hassle for me. I found the WrisTech blood pressure monitor to be relatively easy to use, with a fully automatic wrist cuff, large digital readouts, and a built-in recorder. He could take my systolic and diastolic counts and pulse at the same time, in less than a minute. I need that at the start of my very busy day.

Of course I read the reviews before deciding to spend my money. I was expecting some negative feedback, but there were so many people satisfied with the product that I figured I wouldn’t have much to lose. I especially liked that people said it gave accurate results when used correctly. That’s to be expected, right? It is a machine, after all. The instructions must be followed to the letter and the machine must be set up correctly. As they say, “garbage in, garbage out.”

I also like the features it has. I always hated it when a machine just died, so the battery power indicator on the WrisTech blood pressure monitor was a bonus for me. And since I don’t like complications, I really appreciate the error message that tells me that I’ve put it wrong. I don’t want to play with anything when I have a busy schedule in the morning! When the blinking heart appears on the screen, I know I did it right and should start right away.

I enjoy the fact that it keeps track for a month for me, unfortunately the WrisTech blood pressure monitor can’t sync with my computer, but it’s easy enough to transfer the readings at the end of the month and send them to my doctor via mail electronic. Clearing the record is also simple, I just remove the batteries and put them back. The auto power off feature is also great, in case I don’t remember to turn it off, as has happened more than once before.

Considering the really affordable price, I don’t regret buying my WrisTech blood pressure monitor at all. My doctor is happy with the way it works and that’s the best part for me. I would recommend the WrisTech Blood Pressure Monitor to anyone who asks my opinion.
