Need advice on device to monitor Blood Pressure

[Tejas01]

So my Dad's doctor told him to get a home kit to monitor blood pressure. I am totally clueless about these devices.
If anyone has got these devices, can you advice which is a better brand and what to look for.
Also, should I get it offline or online.

Omron HEM 7120 Fully Automatic Digital Blood Pressure Monitor With Intellisense Technology For Most Accurate Measurement - Arm Circumference (22-32Cm) https://www.amazon.in/dp/B00F38B3NW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apan_glt_fabc_KHK9F3FTH1FK5Y68B1ET

Can you share your experience?
How do you use it?

getting the strap correctly is the hard part. after that you just need to press the button on the measuring device.
if the values are weird, strap is not wrapped properly. takes a bit of practice. if the shoulder bit is too thick, you might need to find a model with a larger strap.

Yes, have Omron in our house too. Although model might be bit different from above one. They just work and reliable. Also I donno if they make them, but see if you can get one with a AC adapter. Replacing batteries on these is a real pain.

You have to take almost 2-3 readings (if the BP is too high, too low or absurd) to have an idea about the actual BP as these machines are known to be inaccurate.

@shashankb the model listed by Samuel does have an AC power provision.
@Sushubh I measured dad's arm length, comes to around 32cm. Do I need to get another cuff or the one provided will work fine?

Offtopic - Is OMRON brand good in weighing scale? accurate?

 

[Sushubh]

I would suggest getting the Mi or Realme one.

Probably time to get a new model as the current model is nearly 10 years old and readings are getting a bit funky. Probably would order Omron 7156.
