Home 1500 Series Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor with Easy Bluetooth Smartphone Connectivity RPM-BP100

great! This is the same BP machine used in my clinic, works great, is professional grade and accurate. Well worth the price if you need to monitor your BP daily. It's easy to use, and saves your readings to the app on bluetooth device.

My doctor highly recommended it and he was right. Small size, large bold letters, easy to use, accurate and durable. I got mine since 2021 and it still running.

Purchased the Welch Allyn Home 1700 Series Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor with Easy Bluetooth Smartphone Connectivity, Item model number: H-BP100SBP, from the Welch Allyn Home store on Amazon. I received it today. I put the batteries in, and connected the standard cuff that was included with it. I heard the click when I attached the cuff to the monitor. The monitor turned on fine. I can hear the motor attempting to inflate the cuff. However, the cuff does not inflate. At all. I had also purchased the XL and X-small cuff from WA Home, so I attached both of those cuffs as well and attempted to inflate them using the monitor. Neither of them were inflated by this monitor either. Regardless of the cuff used, the monitor attempts to inflate, then gives the E-01 message, every time. I've tried the cuffs on both the right and left arms, on both myself, and my husband. The E01- (cuff is not secure, readjust the cuff, relax for a moment, then measure again) message is the only result I can obtain. I take numerous blood pressures daily in a clinical setting as part of the function of my employment. I'm quite familiar with the proper way to take a blood pressure reading. This is not user error. Welch Allyn has been used in a clinical setting for... ages. It's a trusted brand. My concern is... what is going on with their QA? I've contacted their Tech Support, and will update this regarding the response of WA's support staff. **** Update **** I called their tech support line at 1-800-856-4605. Dude was super nice, and no questions asked is shipping a replacement unit out. I've been emailed a fedex label to ship the defective unit back at no cost to me. This took this review from 1 star, up to 3 stars. I will update this review again once I receive the replacement unit. **** Update 8/18/2020 **** Received the replacement unit just now. Put the batteries in, powered it up. It's in even worse shape than the original unit shipped to me. That one at least made noises like it was trying to inflate the cuff, and the monitor itself stayed powered on. The new unit? It powers up, shows a 0, then immediately powers off. I changed the batteries out. Changed the cuff out. Bottom line, this was a waste of 2 weeks of my time, and over a hundred bucks, especially since I ordered the x-small and x-large welch allyn cuffs to go with it. I only purchased this instead of omron because I figured Welch Allyn has been in the business so long, they'd HAVE to have it together, right? Clearly. Not. I'll go order an Omron right now, while I call tech support to get yet another return sticker. **** Update to my update **** K, I'll contact Amazon. WA support only handles warranty/replacement, they do not do refunds. Refunds have to go thru Amazon. Now you know.

Pretty good and especially love the app But hard to get tightened on arm (never thought I would get to a point where the cuff almost felt too big) and if you don’t have it just right, if any folds on the edges for example, it errors out. I am hoping that as it loosens up a bit and I get more used to it that it won’t E 01 on me all the time! But I Love the size and brightness of the display and it seems fairly accurate as opposed to my old wrist monitor

Solid device with a clear screen and simple setup. Feels reliable and well made. I like having this at home for regular checks.

After reading scads of reviews for BP machines on Amazon, I finally decided to order the Welch Allyn unit. I'm familiar with run-of-the-mill BP machines, having tried several of them for my aging dad. Most of them are poorly made junk. This one is in a class of its own. Unfortunately it is all too easy to crank out a low-cost BP machine, so naturally the market is crowded with pretenders. Most of the units I have encountered are variations on the same theme. They could well all be made in the same Gulag in China and just labeled with different brands. This unit is a thing of beauty. It is solidly built, with a quick-disconnect coupling between the cuff and the main unit. The main panel has a clear, simple display with a single button to take a reading. Once the initial bluetooth setup is complete, you don the cuff, turn on the app, and hit the button. The unit takes a reading, updates the app with the latest reading, and turns itself off. The firmware that runs this unit is pretty sweet. As another reviewer pointed out, the motor doesn't just spin up to full blast while inflating the cuff; instead, it spins up and down, carefully listening and feeling its way along. Readings are very very repeatable. I have seen some interesting variations in the way it takes readings, so there is obviously more subtlety than your average BP machine. It appears to have been engineered by a team that understands not only product design, but the art of taking blood pressure as well. That latter aspect is what makes it a worthwhile purchase. The iPhone app itself is very clean, intuitive and usable. It has a charting function that shows you trends over days, weeks, months. years. Yes, it is priced a little higher than the average BP unit, but it is worth every penny. I recommend this unit highly.

I bought this unit because I used to be a truck driver and had to impress the DOT with my low blood pressure every two years. I got this unit so I could monitor my BP at home and have an idea of how things were going leading up to my DOT physicals. Fast forward four years, I'm no longer driving trucks, and I'm not as young as I used to be. My blood pressure is creeping up, so on doctor's advice, I want to monitor it daily and use the app to keep a record in my phone of my readings. Well, I went to update the Welch Allyn app in my Android phone today and got a "Could not update" error. So I uninstalled the app. When I went to reinstall, I find it no longer available on the Google Play Store. It seems that Welch Allyn has inexplicably decided to not support the app for Android any longer, and from reading reviews, it seems this problem began about three years ago. That's ridiculous and unacceptable. The BP monitor itself has always worked perfectly and still does. It's disappointing that the manufacturer would suddenly flip the bird to all the buyers of this model and stop supporting the app. I guess if I want to keep using this BP monitor I will have to record the results on pencil and paper, or a notes app in my phone. That makes it not nearly so easy to send the results to my doctor. Something like this is pretty ridiculous in this day and age. I like this BP monitor for its small size and ease of use, but I'm going to shop around and see what else is available, with an app that actually works. Very surprising to me that a trusted, known brand like Welch Allyn would do something like this. Disappointed to say the least.

Amazon lists dozens of blood pressure units for 20 to 40 buck range. I had a wrist unit that worked fairly well. It was with in 20 of the doctors on systolic. This unit was actually found searching outside amazons jungle. The reviews were great and the produce was in amazon but did not come up in my earlier searches. This is fast and accurate. I use the free app on IOS and it works like a champ. Make sure you read the directions. Make sure you have the artery markers on the cuff over your artery ( the side of your arm that hits your side and just below your bicep muscle ). Next take your pressure the same time each day. Follow the suggestions for how to sit and how long to rest etc. This does a great job!. It is amazingly accurate. I put for lithium AA's in it and it works great. I would definitely buy this again. I am male with average size bicep's and the cuff fits fine. It could take a much thicker arm but not too much thinner. If your upper arm is thin you might need the smaller cuff. Glad I bought this. Last i am not a medical person or associated with any part of the company that makes this. It is a good product.
