Best Blood Pressure Monitor!!!
on September 8, 2016

I received a free sample in exchange for agreeing to write a review of this Philips Blood Pressure Monitor. First of all I love that this monitor is rechargeable! No more batteries to buy again! It's adjustable to your upper arm size and the set up was so easy, although I did have a bit of a problem with the Bluetooth connecting, but I think that was on my end. After setup, everything else was so simple! It's quick and easy and since I have to monitor my blood pressure daily, the health app was a plus!! Love this new blood pressure monitor, just made my life so much easier! Highly recommend to anyone who needs to monitor their blood pressure like me.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Easy-to-use BPM

I received a free sample of this blood pressure monitor to review. It is a great product! This monitor is compact and easy to use. I did not do the app on my iphone for this monitor. The instructions for the app were too confusing for me! But the BPM is great!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great build quality but....

Picked this up cheap and thought I would write a genuine non promotional review (almost all reviews on here are people who received the device free!!). The device is very well made and reliable and appears to give accurate results. The results are consistently 5-8mm lower from those given by my wrist model. The problem with the device is its reliance on Bluetooth and an App. I had huge problems pairing the device with my phone and frequently it does not recognise the phone or my phone tells me that the device (Philips) hs rejected pairing. I later found out the device wont pair unless you grant it location and data access (why is that necessary?). The other (fatal) flaw is that the current reading is lost after a short time unless you use the App. There appears to be no way of locally storing or retrieving previous BP readings. This seems to be a major oversight. So in summary- a great device but only for those people who have operate a smartphone and bluetooth ecosystem- otherwise best avoided.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Accurate and easy

This is a very easy to use BPM. Once it was charged, I connected via bluetooth to the free Philips Health App. I am not very tech savvy any it took me two times to connect them. Once connected, I was free to go! One point to make is that you do not need to use the app to use this BPM. While the app showed excellent displays and kept track for me (which eventually a doctor may need me to do), it is a great device to use without the app.
The readings seemed to be very consistent.
I was worried that I wouldn't be able to use it because I have a larger arm (the doctor's office usually change to a larger cuff when they do my BP, but surprisingly, this one is easily adjustable and worked great for me.
While I didn't use this feature, I also liked that more than one person can keep track of their numbers on the app.
Overall, this seems to be an excellent product and well worth the money for the accuracy and ease!
I received this free sample in exchange for writing a review.
Pros: fit my larger arm, accurate
I would recommend this to a friend!

Convenient and Accurate Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor
on August 28, 2016

I received this upper arm blood pressure monitor as a free product to review. It is very easy to use, and comes with a very detailed instruction manual. The monitor is designed to be used with the free Philips HealthSuite App, and you will get the most benefit from tracking your readings using the app, but you don’t have to do this is if you do not want to. It comes with a rechargeable battery, and it folds up nice and small so that you can store it easily in a drawer. It secures on your arm with a Velcro closure and it is very comfortable to use. The readings are accurate, and if you install the Philips HealthSuite App on your phone you can pair the blood pressure monitor with the app and it will save your readings. There is a very detailed instruction manual included, and the first time I used the monitor I skimmed the instructions and was able to figure it out very quickly. I have a very small arm, and the cuff wraps completely around and then some, so that sometimes I have to adjust it a little to get a snug fit. It seems to have plenty of room even for someone with larger arms. My boyfriend used the cuff with no problems.
Pros
The rechargeable battery lasts three months when fully charged
You can have two different users for the monitor, but only one user’s information can be synched to the app
You can store your readings automatically on the free Philips HealthSuite App, and the app has the complete instruction manual included for easy reference
Cons
It can be a little difficult to read the display while it is on your arm. I always make sure I have the correct user profile selected before I place it on my arm, and then view the reading once I take the cuff off
You have to use the app to view any previous readings
Summary
Whether you chose to download the app or not, this is a nice, easy to use blood pressure monitor. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who needs to monitor their health.

Fast and Convienent

I received the Philips Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor as a free sample to write a review. The convenience factor of doing this at home without needing other devices or another person to help read it is incredible. Fast, accurate and perfect for someone who isn`t a professional medical person. The display is large and bright so it is easy to read. It took me no time at all to wrap the cuff and it go. The reading went directly to my smartphone app to track my results and trends. Best of all, my husband can use it as `person 2` without any interference with my results. I would highly recommend this quality product.

I enjoyed the free BPM sample I received to review.

Easy use. The app was easy to download, it gave step by step instructions, results were accurate and connect with the app immediately. I will say to double check to make sure your mobile phone is compatible with the app's service. After a few days of using it,there app no longer connected and I was informed it was because of my mobile device. Maybe in the need future, they will offer an opportunity to use with a tablet,laptop,etc. even if to manually enter in the results. Otherwise I give it a good rating.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Keepin' it.

I received this product in exchange for my honest review.
This BPM is part of the Philips health product line that syncs to the Philips Health app. So easy to use and stores other Philips health products info in this app. I love the size. I can take it anywhere and it`s not complicated to fold. So easy to use and easy to read. Reading are pretty much on par with what I get from my doctor`s office. The only thing I wish it had would be a case to slip it in.
I would recommend this to a friend!
