Hi,

I would like to seek for recommendation on the recommended brand for blood pressure measure portable machine.

Something like this kind of machine:



Thank you

Find those with wifi support Omron. Can log using phone.

my omron basic model hem-7120 is very inaccurate. results differ by 20+ mmhg

oh, will take note on this

this is what I am afraid of. then you buy another brand?

no, i just stop using it. trying to save money in this period of time...

I see thank you so much for your input

kind of shock when i checked my bp last time in clinic. all the while i thought its normal when i use my hem7120. 20mmhg easily make u from normal to pre-high bp T_T

I have HEM-7130 at home... when tested it's around

128-135 / 85-100 depending on the time and stress level...

but during blood donation, another brand was used and immediately my BP shoot up

150/110 etc... I'm not sure which one to trust...

i think better to compare with clinics reading. ask the doctor use the old school mercury thingy measure and compare with your own reading at home. then u can know how far out is the home reading

oh that old school manual BP machine is the best?

yes the old school device is the most accurate

In accurate is because of the way you use it. Works well my omron.

Oh wow. I thought it was my unit.

I'm using Omron HEM-7156 and my readings are also lower by about 20+ mmHg compared to the rossmax ones I've used in the clinic and pharmacy. I even took mine to a pharmacy to compare side by side and Omron's is consistently lower.

I sent it back to Omron. They tested it and said it's working correctly. I didn't feel comfortable using it so I opted for a refund.

So what's a good brand then? Rossmax?

any brand will do.
I use my basic Omron with many people (wife, parents, sometimes children), it is accurate (I recorded the reading then compared with clinic’s meaurement - used the Mindray/ GE)

the doctor said that the cuff used also can affect the reading
(having a larger arm require larger cuff)

I could get readings of like 100/60 for my BP from the Omron at home before I sleep. Which I find too low. Same goes for my wife. Hers can be 95/55. Surely that's too low to be accurate?

looks like omron is shitty. i just bought another hem-7156 from lazada. the reading is consistently lower by ~20 mmhg.

How to tell the omron reading is lower unless you have 2 devices to compare side by side?

posture affects blood pressure.

so does the size of the individual.

time of the day also affects the reading.

technique of using the device matters too.

yes i compare to reading at clinic. two clinics one using rossmax the other using omron also. the reading in clinic is roughly same but my device is showing 20mmhg lower.

yes omron always give lower reading by ~20mmhg. i bought two omron one is hem7120 the other is hem7156. both are not accurate. i strongly suggest u bring and check together in clinic to be safe.

Yes I tested at a pharmacy too. My omron was consistently lower, and lower by a significant margin as you indicated.

I returned my omron and got a rossmax.

Tbf, the omron build quality is a lot better than rossmax. The plastic used is of higher quality and there are no squeaky sounding loose buttons which the rossmax has. But rossmax appears to produce readings more consistent with my expectations.

This is the model I have been serving me well for more than 6yrs i think

i have brought it couple of times to clinic for verification, Dr confirmed reading is good.

So far, the build quality is good..if Im not mistaken, I chose this brand because it had 5yrs warranty then

But I guess, newer brand/models has connectivity with the phone, that would be cool to have better monitoring and recordings

Make sure the blood pressure machine that you are trying to buy - is registered with medical device authority (MDA).


You can search for any registered medical devices through the following link:

I bought FORA brand 3 years ago. Now show E- 1 error. Manual says inflation or pressure error.

sorry to repost on old thread , since it's 3 years back , there are many brand now.Mostly made from china.
I wonder which brand and model is accurate ? Omron , Yuwell and etc

Someone mention above that Omron have low reading.I wonder currently which model is much accurate vs standard clinical doctor stethoscope ?

Using pneumatic leg pump and bluetooth earpiece
Google App

I mean 24 hours measurements
Any device to attach it ?

Any suggestion on brand ?

I remember posting here will have a lot of reply.What had happen recently ?

Unker/aunties was left⚰️

At lease there is an expert here ? i remember when covid time , all so expert explain this and that but now all missing ?

± 20 mmHg uncertainty is a lot man.

my family use Rossmax . ok laaa for reading when got health concern.

I search Rossmax is not certified ? google search give me
" The ROSSMAX monitor cannot be recommended for clinical use in an adult population because it records SBP inaccurately. "

medisana - german brand

Any reply here ? No one buy for elderly or know which one to measure ? I remember many expert here last covid era , all gone ?

It is certified by MDA. else many of the clinics wont be using.

You cant go wrong either with Rossmax or Omron

I use Withings because can sync with my Apple health and it’s weighing scale so I can see how bp is influenced by weight and fat or water level in body

I brought my Japan made omron which I forgot the model, JPN 500 or something, to the pharmacy and check on my blood pressure on the spot using both their device and mine. (Same arm for sure) Ended up the Omron's reading is very much lower as compared to their Rossmax. Rossmax reading is more accurate as I have always been somewhere around that reading.

As far as I measured mine using that omron I always get shocked to have such low blood pressure and even start taking some salt thinking to replenish whatever that is lacking.

My blood pressure has been stable and consistent. Ever since using that particular device I keep on being in fear of that low blood pressure whilst my husband thought his blood pressure is getting so much healthier.

So better double check with another device before relying on just one. +/-20 is a lot!

Did you actually go to Doctor using manual traditional stethoscope pump and compare on the spot using Rossmax and omron ?

Which model allow adjustable ? reading ?
