Hey Gunner,

My wife uses a Walmart purchased :

LifeSource
Model UA-767

It is one of the ones for use on the bicep, or at least just above the
elbow. Works very well, and she says (although she can't find the
book at the moment) that it has a lifetime guarantee. I think it was
about 80 bucks Canadian.

Take care.

I have to purchase a blood pressure monitor for my wife. She has to
be able to use it by herself. There is a wide variety of styles (and
prices)

Im looking for some input as to the best bang for my buck. Ebay is
probably where I will purchase one, but there are so many types I dont
quite know where to start. Ive already done a bit of websearching, and
read the few reviews I could find, but none were particularly helpful,
nor was there a free "consumers report" site with any information
other than sales propaganda.

Anyone have any recommendations? Are the automatic wrist types
accurate enough for home use? While Im comfortable using the old bulb
and stethescope units, she is not, so something either fully automatic
or manually inflated, automatic read is what I have to get.
I do know the finger style is not particularly accurate, and she does
have reduced circulation due to her medical conditions.

Thanks in advance

Gunner
