Omron 5 Series Review:

The Omron 5 Series home blood pressure monitor (BP742N) with Omron’s Advanced Accuracy helps ensure consistent, precise readings. This model is quick and easy and has a few more features than the 3 Series home blood pressure monitor, like dual settings for two users, memory storage space for up to 100 readings (50 readings for each user) and a wide range D-Ring cuff that fits standard and large arms 9 to 17 inches in circumference. The 5 Series also features Advanced Accuracy that automatically displays the average of the last 3 readings taken within 10 minutes. The Omron 5 Series will also let you know how your reading compare with internationally recognized guidelines for normal blood pressure with the BP Level Bar. When you trust your heart health to Omron blood pressure monitor, you’ll be empowered by accuracy.

Detailed test results

This device has a one-size-fits-most (9 -17 inches) flexible nylon cuff that that may be difficult for some users to wrap around their own arm and align the artery marker. The velcro is softer and more pliable than some of the other models’ cuffs and the velcro bond is not as difficult to separate as some of the other cuffs. The display digits are large and easy to read. First time set up is not difficult and the incremental buttons advance in both directions for date and time setup. If your expected systolic pressure exceeds 210 mmHg, you must press and hold the start button until a number 30 to 40 mmHg higher than the expected pressure appears.
