What changed my mind? Well, the last time I reviewed this monitor; it just barely made the cut and came in at a standard retail price of $99.99. At that time, there were other monitors slightly lower in price that offered equal or comparable performance; therefore, I considered those models an overall better value than the Omron HEM-780 monitor. Well, a lot can change in a year; and the price of the HEM-780 has dropped considerably, while other model prices have remained fairly constant. With many e-tailers offering this monitor in the $70 to $80 range, the decision to make this my choice for the Best Value was a no brainer.
For those of you who might have missed my last review of the Omron HEM-780 Blood Pressure Monitor, I will briefly summarize some of my favorite features of this incredibly feature-filled blood pressure monitor. I won’t attempt to cover all of the great characteristics of this monitor; I will just let you which ones I think are noteworthy.
First and most importantly about this monitor, is the HEM-780’s ability to detect Morning Hypertension. Words cannot adequately describe how valuably important this feature could possibly be. Morning Hypertension, or an elevated morning blood pressure level, is one of the leading indicators and warning signs of potential stroke or heart attack. Knowing about this type of hypertension early, and then seeing your physician for additional diagnosis, may possibly save your life. I have talked about this technology before; however, I can never stress enough how valuable it can be.
Another feature that I really like about the Omron HEM-780 is the comfit cuff; it is huge. It will fit all but the largest bodybuilders, or the brawniest mountain men. I am a pretty big guy myself, and the cuff fit easily with plenty of room to spare. Also, I like the fact the cuff is very stiff, and not one of those plushy, mushy type things. Those baby soft cuffs feel nice; but they do not provide nearly as accurate results as the stiffer ones.
This unit is built like a tank, and designed to last a long, long time. The LED Display is huge, and you can literally see it from more than half a room away! About the only thing I could complain about with this model is the tube length from the cuff to the monitor itself. I wish it was just a tad bit longer.
Regardless, this is the best value for any health care product I have seen in a long while. It is well made, accurate and dependable. Therefore, all other sub $100 priced monitors should bow before their new monarch… the Omron HEM-780 Blood Pressure Monitor.
