I have one and I’m happy with it. Batteries last more than a year with two people using it. As far as it being best – I cannot say.
Omron Digital Blood Pressure Monitor HEM-712C
We have a generic “Pharmacist’s Choice” Digital Blood Pressure Monitor 00734. It was recommended by our pharmacist, because, according to him, it is made by the same folks that make the Omron one, but it only costs about $50.
So I recommend you ask your pharmacist for a recommendation. Get one that fits just above the elbow. The wrist ones read differently, since above the elbow is the industry standard.
Ours works just fine, by the way. We really like that it inflates itself, so we don’t even need to pump it up. (Who wants to pump up a bulb when they are trying to observe their resting BP?!)
