Blood Pressure Monitor

Worth having
It took a little practice but after a few times I became much better at adjusting the cuff correctly. It’s a good bp monitor and correlated fairly closely with my doctor’s device.

An excellent product
My old Lifesource BP monitor was, I thought, a bit worse for wear and so I ordered anothert blood pressure monitor made by another company. (Prevention DS-1902PV Auto-Inflate Blood Pressure Monitor) A warning: do not ever purchase anything under the Prevention or Mark of Fitness brand. The Prevention unit was horrible. The first one gave wildly inflated and inconsistent readings and constantly warned me of heart irregularities. A replacement unit did the same. The company has offered to provide a third replacement, but I grew tired of the obviously poor Prevention and Mark of Fitness products, so I ordered a new Lifesource unit.

The readings are dead-on accurate. The Lifesource unit also has an irregular heartbeat feature. I tried this and the Prevention unit apart. The Lifesource unit did not show an irregular heartbeat, while the Prevention unit once again did – as well as a vastly higher BP reading.

The Lifesource unit no longer comes packed with a carrying case, which I consider to be a minus, but it does include an AC adapter, which is a plus. There’s a little scale on the side to indicate the level of your hypertension, which is useless, I think since you wouldn’t be monitoring your blood pressure if you didn’t already know you were somewhere on the hypertensive scale. So the scale neither adds nor detracts from the unit.

Lifesource offers everything you could ask for in a blood pressure monitor. It is easy to use. It is very accurate. And it is covered by a lifetime warranty, a fact that I had forgotten with regard to my old unit.

Lifesource customer service is responsive and helpful.

Altogether a wonderful package and far better than the units distributed by Mark of Fitness under the Prevention brand.
