Since being diagnosed with hypertension, I like to keep track of my blood pressure measurements. I have owned several blood pressure monitors but have been disappointed with most of them due to the need to precisely put on a Velcro arm cuff and to plug in a power cord in order to take a pressure measurement. Some of these monitors are battery powered, but alkaline batteries typically don’t last long in these units and need to be frequently replaced. When I saw this new lithium battery-powered Yhe Blood Pressure Monitor with integrated arm cuff, I decided to buy it and give it a try. I am very glad I did because it has now become my favorite blood pressure monitor.
Here are the main reasons why I really like this new Yhe blood pressure monitor. First, it has a 2000mAh Lithium battery that easily recharges with a USB-C charging adapter and allows many pressure measurements to be taken without the need to connect a power cord or requiring frequent alkaline battery changes. Second, the unit is sturdily made, fairly compact when folded for storage, and easily unfolds with its integrated arm cuff ready to take a blood pressure measurement without need to strap on the typical Velcro arm cuff. Finally, the many measurements I have taken with the unit seem accurate and consistent with blood pressure measurements I have taken with other monitors in the past.
Because it is so convenient to use, I now take measurements every day with the Yhe blood pressure monitor. I keep the folded unit in my office on a bookcase shelf. Every morning, I take the unit from the bookcase, place it on my computer desk, unfold it, take a measurement, fold it up and place it back in the bookcase. The best part is I no longer have to struggle putting on an arm cuff or needing to reach down to plug the unit into a power outlet.
Second, the Yhe blood pressure monitor is a bit expensive compared to cheaper units that have an arm cuff you put on. However, given the Yhe unit’s build quality, lithium-battery power, convenience of use with its integrated arm cuff, and its measurement accuracy and consistency, it is a good value and comes highly recommended.
