Ordered 2, neither gives accurate readings
After asking my doc, who agreed wrist BP monitors have greatly improved, I ordered two of these—one for me and one for my mom. Neither unit gives accurate readings out of the box after multiple attempts with various household members. We found they register very low. My readings typically showed up as 85/55 when a cuff monitor shows around 115/65. I’m returning them.Next time I will listen more closely when my doc says, “Order the Omron brand. It’s what we found works best.”

False readings! Beware of stroke!
I am a dialysis patient and take my bp a few times a day. I got the wrist cuff because I was tired of bruising my arm. My readings read perfect bp. The arm cuff very high bp. My nurses said the wrist cuff was very wrong. I looked it up...the reading on the wrist is supposed to be a little lower than the arm cuff because of the smaller veins and arteries in your wrist, but any time ANYONE in my house checked it read 30-40 points higher. It read So high that I thought I was in terrible danger. So there are people with hypertension out there using this wrist cuff having no idea they’re getting false readings and could have a stroke because of it. This is a terrible product and should be taken off the market!

Love the features, Easy to read and easy to use.
I am a nurse so I was able to compare this to a manual blood pressure cuff as well as a computerized model that we use at work. This was spot on with the readings from both other methods. I believe this is a great blood pressure device for those with site problems, the display is large and easy to read and it's very easy to use. I love the memory feature because you can track "trends" over time. Everyone has a "stressful" day from time to time and blood pressure may be up. One reading is never going to give you an accurate picture. With this memory function you can track your blood pressure weekly or monthly. This is definitely a "must buy" for someone that is looking for a portable home blood pressure monitoring solution.

Uncertain Electronics
The iProven Blood Pressure Cuff 2020 Model is new to me. I may revise this review with time.Over the first few days I can see it is easy to use. I cannot judge it's accuracy as I don't have another "standard" to compare these readings to. The batteries that arrived with the device showed 1/4 charge on the monitor. I assumed they were low. After a couple days use the cuff wouldn't work because of low battery. I discarded and put in new batteries. Within a couple days the device reported "low" charge. I tested my batteries with my voltmeter. My batteries showed full charge. I re-installed these. The cuff then showed 1/4 charge and did function. Changing the batteries to test may have changed the quality of the contacts. ?? I do not understand why the device shows 1/4 charge when the voltmeter shows full charge. I am considering return due to faulty electronics. I hope the manufacturer will advise after reading this review. to be continued

A Great BP Cuff for the Price
I read a gazillion reviews before deciding to go with Proven. The first BP cuff I ordered produced readings so wildly out of whack that I immediately contacted the company for a replacement. There was a bit of a kerfuffle as my email got bounced around a bit by the company staff, but once we were all on the same page, I received a replacement cuff in no time flat. As Amazon bursts at the seams with so many companies using it as a selling platform, the customer cannot always know which end is up or if an item can even be returned or replaced until it is too late. My experience with the seller, 7GRetail was most satisfactory and the cuff is not only very easy to use, but for those who want a record of their readings without writing them down, the cuff stores them for you. It runs on AAA batteries and also gives heart rate reading. I would add that I take three consecutive readings to get a baseline, as BP wrist cuffs are never as accurate as you need them to be with just a single measurement.

Faded Print but Accuracy Good
I bought this at a very busy and bad time previous reviews were right the numbers are very faded unless holding down face up so.picture shown is not real. I had it boxed up to return cancelled Protection Policy butfor now in a still overwhelming time just kept it. I've taken my BP along time at home per Drs advice if I get two readings in close range of each other which this does I changed my mind and kept it as a retired Critical Care RN that is most important to.me. I had many machines that would give a stroke level BP then a low BP so accuracy was more important than faded numbers I can see reading good enough for me.

Perfect size but inaccurate reading
What I like about this product is that it’s small and easy to carry around. It’s fast at reading the pressure and easy to use. However, I really dislike that the blood pressure reading is inaccurate majority of the times. I tried multiple times within 5 min and they all were about 10-15 off. The blood pressure show majority of the time as super high for me. Also when comparing the reading against my other arm blood pressure monitor, this wrist monitor is about 15-20 higher than it. It’s easy to use and read but just not accurate.

Convenient and comfortable wrist blood pressure monitor
This iProven blood pressure monitor has been really helpful in tracking my dad’s blood pressure. It’s small and convenient to take while traveling or even keep in the car to take readings while not at home. The memory feature is useful for tracking trends and how meds, mood, and other factors play into certain readings. The display is large and easy for my dad to read. Having the BP cuff on the wrist also helps with the comfort of taking readings without feeling like you’re losing circulation to your arm. I’m a registered nurse and I highly approve of this blood pressure monitor for any member of the family.
