It is worth noting that the gadget turns on the painless SlimFit cuff, the size of which varies in the range from 32 to 45 centimeters.

The manufacturer claims that from one battery this device can perform up to 2000 measurements. Based on personal experience, I can say that the figure is greatly underestimated. A really economical and very good tonometer with a heart rate monitor attracts both build quality and an informative screen. It’s also hard to find fault with the convenience of operation: we put it on our hand, click on the large button, wait for the signal and “pump” the air to the mark before the sound signal. The measurement range is from 20 to 280 millimeters of mercury, and the remote control up to 200 beats per minute. In terms of measuring the latter indicator, there may be questions - on thin hands, the data is not always correct. Auto shutdown is provided.

If you need to buy a tonometer for an elderly user, then you should pay attention to the Microlife N1 Basic model - a device of the highest accuracy class, equipped with an arrhythmia diagnostic function, storing up to 30 measurements and support for PAD technology.

In this category, modern automatic tonometers mounted on the wrist are presented. They are distinguished by fast and accurate measurement, a large number of functions (depending on price) and maximum convenience. There are models for mounting on the shoulder and wrist. We offer to get acquainted with representatives of the latter category. The fact is that automatic tonometers with a cuff on the shoulder are not much different from semi-professional counterparts with the exception of a number of functions. At the same time, they discharge faster and cost more.

The rating of automatic blood pressure monitors replenishes the model Nissei WS-1000.The electronic device is designed in such a way that it allows receiving information simultaneously from two arteries on the user's hand. This indicates the possibility of obtaining more reliable information. In addition, a quality cuff made of soft, durable materials is noteworthy. The device’s additional advantages include determining the irregularity of the heart rhythm, the device detects atrial fibrillation, and stores in the memory alarming values ​​for the user. There is a function for calculating the average pressure indicator, which allows you to control jumps in the work of the heart. The display of the invention is quite large, so even older people can easily view the indicators.

Another compact device with which it is extremely simple to control both blood pressure and heart rate. A high-quality electronic blood pressure monitor is great for ordinary users as well as athletes. Allows you to monitor at home, on the street in and anywhere else due to its light weight, ease of installation. It features a stylish design and a high level of reliability.

The kit includes a cover, but not of the best quality against the background of competitors.

Definitely one of the top automatic blood pressure monitors is the Nissei WS-1011 device, the cuff size of which is from 13.5 to 21.5 centimeters. Accordingly, the model is suitable for almost any size of the hands of users. Attracts with high accuracy of pressure measurements: +/- 3 millimeters of mercury. The accuracy of the pulse measurement in this case is 5%. An innovative technology has been implemented, the essence of which is the ability to measure directly during inflation of the cuff. Judging by the comments, this allows you to get more reliable data. The manufacturer equipped the equipment with an excellent, large LCD display with bluish backlight. Unfortunately, the ability to transfer data to a smartphone via Bluetooth is not implemented. However, the price is justified.

Definitely one of the most accurate automatic blood pressure monitors is the M3 Expert model, made by the famous Japanese brand Omron. The accuracy of the pulse measurement is only 5%. Power is supplied by batteries. The range of blood pressure measurements varies from 0 to 299 mmHg. Art. Pulse: 40 to 180 beats per minute. There is a function for calculating the average pressure, an indication of arrhythmia. The user can learn about readiness for work by means of a sound signal. Judging by the comments, this unit functions stably and accurately over time. A reliable assistant has a stylish design, small dimensions. All parts are made of expensive materials, brand reputation is not to be blamed.

The best automatic blood pressure monitor of 2020 is the B.Well MED-55 model, which guarantees maximum accuracy in operation. In the manufacture of the device used 3Check technology, developed on the basis of recommendations of the World Health Organization for pressure control. Accuracy is achieved thanks to three consecutive measurements in automatic mode, then the data is analyzed using a special algorithm. If necessary, the device autonomously performs the fourth measurement. Expert accuracy is complemented by excellent design and a high level of comfort in use.There is no doubt in the life of the equipment due to the responsibility and reliability of the manufacturer. The advantages should also include Intellect Active technology, thanks to which no discomfort during operation is not visible. Air injection into the cuff takes into account the individual characteristics of the user.

First of all, you should decide on the type of equipment. To choose the right tonometer for the shoulder area, first you need to pay attention to the size of the cuff:

1. Up to 22 centimeters - designed for children;
2. 22-36 centimeters - the most popular, universal option for people from 50 to 90 kilograms;
3. From 36 centimeters - for people with large hands.

Please note that the cuffs can be fixed around the shoulder with Velcro or with a special metal bracket, which guarantees better fixation. Mechanical models do not need a power source.

As for the semi-automatic and automatic models, they operate on the basis of 2-4 batteries or from a household network. The first option is convenient in case of constant travel, the second for home use. However, the best option is a model with combined power.

Place of measurement - semi-automatic and mechanical models provide for the installation of a cuff on the shoulder. Automatic devices are placed on the wrist, which can also determine the pulse with higher accuracy.

Power - most often, tonometers work on the basis of AA batteries. However, some advanced models are equipped with a battery, and can additionally work from the network.

Additional functions:

• heart rate measurement;
• definition of arrhythmia;
• error signal;
• automatic shutdown;
• synchronization with a PC.

Advanced models can be equipped with a synchronization function with a smartphone or PC. Often they have the actual software in which recommendations and tips appear both on the use and in terms of treatment.

As for the functions, it all depends on your financial capabilities. However, not all options meet the expectations of users. When deciding which tonometer to buy, we recommend paying attention to the following functions: calculation of average pressure, arrhythmia indicator, sound notification, the amount of memory for tracking dynamics, and the ability to synchronize with a smartphone. In the end, we suggest summarizing:

1. Mechanical blood pressure monitor for price and quality - Little Doctor LD-91;
2. A good semi-automatic model - Omron S1;
3. Best Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor - B.Well MED-55.

Regardless of the type of technology, developers can equip the device with additional functions, including a clock, calendar, heart rate duplication, and more. Please note that not all options meet expectations, it is important that auxiliary functions are not implemented at the expense of accuracy and reliability of the equipment.
