Interesting... I have an Omron and a WelchAllyn (1700 series). I pretty much use only the WelchAllyn now. In my opinion, the cuff is more comfortable than the Omron (it's not as stiff) and the readings are quicker. I did bring it to my doctor's office and they were satisfied with it was well. Good to hear that it is a respected brand.
Thanks for sharing this video--much appreciated! Clears up some confusion. When googling best BP monitors all I'm seeing is design and not accuracy for the most part--I certainly don't care about the looks of a machine as long as its accurate!
Hi, thank you for the nice comment. For Oximeter and Thermometer here are my affiliate links. The Beurer Oximeter. They are a reputable company, amzn.to/3H53dXq For ear Thermometer, Welch Allyn: amzn.to/3p0SIhZ (pricey but worth it) or Bruan (more affordable) amzn.to/36txT8r
Do you mean the 1500 Series? It doesn't have the SureBP technology. So it has longer inflation time. In addition, the older one doesn't have the extra small and extra large cuffs available if needed. The extra $30, I think the 1700 is worth it but the older one is a very good quality too.
Yes, The ProBP 2000. It's only authorized for sale in Europe and not the U.S. The monitor itself has the same technology. The air supply hose, hose connector and the cuffs are different than the 1700 series. The ProBP 2000 uses a flexiport cuff which is a different design than the standard cuffs. The air supply tube connects differently to the cuff and the monitor. The flexiport cuffs are available in the same sizes as the cuffs for the 1700. It is marketed more for a professional than home use. I wouldn't see myself spending extra cash for it. Where do you see it available for purchase and how much?
They look to be about $170. A couple online supply houses have the 2000 listed. Anyway, I'll order a 1700 for $100 and give it a try. Thanks for the info.
Reading all the amazon reviews there seems to be no machine which is accurate my cardiologist agreed said to just take the one I have to my GP compare it then subtract the difference. I even looked into just buying stethoscope and BP cuff do it manually myself but a decent pair of those cost about $400.
I've thought about purchasing a stethoscope and professional BP machine as well! With all the technology out there you would think something highly accurate would be achievable.
THE WELCH ALLYN VIDEO REVIEW: ruclips.net/video/jqQzRTqjY80/видео.html ...........HAVE A GREAT DAY!
I agree, if it’s not accurate it’s a waste of time. Thank you

100% agree. If the machine is inaccurate it doesn't make sense to even use it.
I see the brand at my doctor's office and hospitals. High quality machine.
Yes, the equipment is highly regarded in the medical community.
I should get a home monitor, it's something I've been wanting to do but haven't. Thanks!
Same here.
Thanks for sharing!
It's extremely beneficial!
thanks for the info very informative, how about the oxymeter, ear thermometer do you recommend?

Thank you!
Great content! Thank you!
Thank you!
Thoughts on Omron?
It's a little more money but you get what you pay for. It's a nice monitor.
Thanks for sharing!
But the hospitals are not willing to take accurate BP readings due to time constraints & Business, even though they have the best equipment
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Any known difference between the 1700 and 2000 version, besides price?

No, the 2000. Looks the same. Maybe it is just a higher priced "professional" marketed version.

You're welcome! Have a great night.
They need a mobile app overhaul first before I would buy one!
