If used correctly, the blood pressure monitor is accurate.

I had to make significant lifestyle changes to lower my blood pressure and the blood pressure monitor reflected that with gradually decreasing readings over time, indicating its accuracy.

86% liked the compatibility with multiple devices, but 14% experienced connectivity issues
I found it easy to pair the machine with my phone and set the date and time automatically.
I am more comfortable installing an app from a well-known manufacturer like Omron than a company whose reputation I don't know.
The cuff HEM-FL31 that came with my SERIES 10..BP786 will work with the new SERIES 5..BP7250... BUT NOT THE OLDER SERIES 5.

The stiff pre-formed sleeve is much easier to use than the traditional style arm wrap.

I chose this product because it has a similar appearance to my previous one and a memory capacity of up to 80 measurements with time of measurement, useful for recording purposes.

I appreciate the wireless feature of the monitor, which allows me to track my readings over time easily and connect it to my smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth, adding a layer of convenience.
The bag provided with the blood pressure monitor is barely large enough to fit the unit and cuff. I had to figure out how to place everything correctly to get it to fit into the soft-sided bag, which is similar in size to a man's shaving kit.
