Best Blood Pressure Monitor (Doctor's Review)

In this video I review two of my favorite blood pressure monitors at this time. Blood pressure control nowadays is so much easier and more convenient than it used to be back when most home blood pressure monitors were oversized and had tons of cables and wires. If you are looking for the best automatic blood pressure machine for home blood pressure monitoring, then keep on watching!

If you are looking for a top 5 or top 10 blood pressure monitors list or buyer's guide, then this video is a great starting point because I talk about my top 2 favorites! There are very few blood pressure machines out there that have all the features and get the job done as well as these two!

Update 2: measured on both bpm connect and omron evolv. To be enought you have to use 2 systems to have a sort of feel that you can thrust a bit the BP benchmark values. The data values are average wise the same. I did a 3 run test on the withings bpm connect and the omron evolv. Bpm connect can do that with a custom setting. Evolv not. But pressing 3x times with a little break is not that hard. My biggest positive for the omron is its clumsy proof. If your doubting the pressure on your arms than the evolv wins. I had to use the evolv in order to have a trusty feel of fitting with the bpm connect. Software wise omron connects nice with Samsung health directly. Bpm connect not. Data wise I'm a freak so I like the more open structure of withings health app. And also it syncs via WiFi. Omron wins in my opinion on speed, fitting and trustworthy measurements. Withings bpm connect wins on software and WiFi connection. So 8/10 for withings bmp connect and 9/10 for the omron. Im still not sure if I'm returning the bmp connect.

Great review! I don't really care about all the features and portability. I just want something as accurate as the Dr's office monitor.

Thank you for the review! Diagnosed stage 2 hypertension a few weeks ago. The Withings readings matched my historical bp numbers. I now take bp readings daily, and forward my ENTIRE health data (coordinated with Apple Watch) to my cardiologist. My ACE inhibitor wasn’t working well enough, and adjustments are required. The Withings let me know that.

Highly recommended!

If not for this review, I would have bought (and almost did) the inferior device.

i bought the withings. it really is well made and well designed. taking your blood pressure initially can be a bit scary! but what happens to me is my pressure is generally 10+ points lower at home than in the doctors. so many people are just wrongly diagnosed and drugged with serious meds that have negative side effects. taking bp is also a great way to tweak sleep, supplements, exercise etc. everyone should be taking bp 2x a day imo. heart disease is one major bullet it's advisable to dodge. i went whole food plant based, got rid of salt and refined oil, reduced stress, and increased exercise to make sure i don't fall victim to this scourge. taking my bp is a great way to keep an eye on trends to make corrections. be well!

An accuracy test would be helpful. Comparing home units against what you have at your office. The biggest complaints with home units tends to be issues with accuracy

It should be noted that, while they may last up to 5 years, the Withing uses rechargeable batteries that are not replaceable by the user. That means you either send it in to have new batteries installed or buy a new unit. For that reason, I prefer user replaceable batteries.

[stylefreaks]

Yes, rechargeable is more convenient however, sooner or later, the internal battery will crap out and you will have to throw the unit away. With the Omron, you will just replace the batteries.

Wife uses her BP monitor daily. Her "issue" is struggling to wrap the cuff around her arm; a) she's female hence smaller arm diameter, and b) the cuff "hangs-up" when she's trying to adjust it before inflation. You didn't mention the physical "get-it-on-your-arm-properly" aspect, and that's her issue. Thanks!!

[reneamaro]

Thank you so much. Because of your review, I ordered the Withing BPM Connect. I confess I think the rechargeable is the best way to go. Even though I buy batteries in bulk, I'm always running out, and to be frank, , I am so tired of replacing batteries in everything. Again, thanks for the great reviews.

[matn]

Bought the Withings today based on both the overwhelmingly positive Amazon reviews and after watching your review. Cheers mate.

[ENFL]

You should show how accurate they are ?

[SquidandCatAdventures]

Rechargeables have batteries that will die in a few years usually. And sometimes things are made so that it's difficult to change the rechargeable battery and people wind up chucking the whole machine. So I think that might be something to consider with comparing to a device that takes regular batteries.

In the UK: Omron Evolv 5 year warranty / Withings BPM Connect 2 year warranty.

[TexanTx]

Thank you for review. Which is more accurate and has close reading Dr. office's BP monitors ? Would be great if you have a video compare both same time with Dr. office monitor..

[cyphonrider]

The Withings BPM Connect was WILDLY inaccurate for me. I had to return it to Amazon. It was generally 25-30 points higher than what was measured at my doctor's office.

[jefft]

Thank you Ken, I'm going with the Withings.

[fed]

very helpful and to the point, thank you! just bought the whitings mainly because of the rechargeable battery

[tdeweesebeats]

I’m a CNA and the first thing i am tasked with is passing ice and getting vitals. The quicker, smaller product is what I am after. I need to be able to use it on large arms and tiny arms but a wrist is much easier. Not sure if as accurate but if you could do a video for this need Im sure you will get some good feedback. Thank you for the video i will be watching more

I recently got a garmin index bp monitor. It was a bit expensive $159 but I love garmin products. And I already had the app. Story why: I have a cat who constantly chews on tubings (bp monitors) and hoses (cpap machine). So I needed a monitor that did not have tubing. I like it so far. This one you can share with 16 people and it weighs so much less than my old ormon did and is much easier to pack.

[aalikes]

Great video! I took your advice & I'm returning the one that I just recently bought for the item: Withings. I didn't know that the BPM could be wireless, rechargeable, & Bluetooth. Moreover, I share my BP with family & friends, that's just greatly convenient. I was just looking for an item that was Bluetooth & compatible with iOS. This exceeds my expectations. In addition, Omron bumped up their price. So, it made the decision easier. Cheers! You definitely should be an updated version of this video. The content is great.
