Blood Pressure Monitors

[k_m_Arya]

Hi guys, need to purchase a BP Monitor for parents not sure if it is worth spending extra for features such as Bluetooth. Also is an extra 2 year warranty worth paying a premium and buying from omron brand shop? The price difference is around 500-800 rupees when comparing against apollo or pharmeasy. Below are the 2 models I'm considering

Using Omron at my home. I remember comparing its values to those of a conventional sphygmomanometer, and found it reasonably accurate, though I don't remember the values now.
I'm using the 7120 model. It is more than sufficient for home use. Do not spend extra on bells and whistles like health app and such.

How often do you guys change the batteries?

How often do you guys change the batteries?

I use Duracell Ultra, which lasts a good while.

Avoid the shitty red Eveready ones.

How often do you guys change the batteries?

I use a third party adapter instead of using batteries.

 

[JMak]

Yes its always best to use a bp monitor with an adaptor whenever possible

I've observed that with batteries that are nearly low or dying the variance in readings increase a lot.
So it's better to use adaptors.

Omron Smart Elite+ HEM 7600T Tubeless 360°​

1 year ago and working fine, its been 2 months since I changed the battery [ its used twice daily] and I use duracell ultra battries so they last long.
As I am a doctor myself I confirmed the accuracy of this Omron one , by manually checking the bp of my mother just after using this and each time it was correct +-2%
