Omron BP785 Series 10 Review: Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor

The Omron BP785 10 Series Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor is a nice upgrade from its predecessor (Omron HEM-780). It provides many useful features; some of which you may not even need. We’ll go through them in this review to see if you need all the extra stuff. The most impressive features are its calibration verification and the ability to check if the bracelet is properly attached to your arm.

It is important to note the cuff itself to ensure you get accurate readings. The one supplied with the BP785 is pre-shaped and easily fits normal and oversized arms, which is patented by Omron as their ComFit Cuff technology.

Another nifty feature is its ability to store data for two users. You can switch between users with the flip of a switch on the front of the blood pressure monitor. The Omron BP785 10 series will record and store a maximum of 200 readings.

Omron’s TruRead technology, also found in the Omron BP785, will take three consecutive readings and then average them to give you your blood pressure. Each reading is approximately 1 minute apart. The technology in TruRead follows the guidelines set by recognized international organizations committed to bp readings.

Customer Reviews

Reviews of the Omron BP785 show it quite well. It has an average of 4 out of 5 stars on Amazon.com. Users are quite satisfied with the user-friendliness of the interface. This is quite important for those who may be intimidated by using a bp monitor in general. One user was a doctor who started using the monitor in his office and found it to be the most consistent monitor he has ever used.

Users have shown that reading the manual will be necessary to learn some of the additional features. Some have complained that they were easily confused, while others were puzzled as to why others were complaining because they found all the answers they needed. It’s a fully featured monitor and educating yourself about the unit is absolutely smart.

Some users have also described the cuff as not easy to wear, as it can be challenging to get the monitor to accept that you have put it on correctly. However, this argument is really undervalued by the overwhelming number of other reviews where they had no problem.

Many users mainly enjoy that the monitor calibrates itself upon power up so that it remains accurate. Many don’t realize that you can record all your results and take them to your doctor to have your blood pressure checked. Doctors find this monitor very consistent with the readings they take in their office. This is a main feature of this blood pressure monitor.

In the end, Omron produces quality products. This is a fully featured blood pressure monitor and we feel very comfortable recommending the Omron BP785 10 Series Arm Blood Pressure Monitor as a safe purchase.
