Need to buy one for my mom.AFAIK Omron makes the best ones, or atleast is the most popular.But it has tons of models.
Can anyone suggest me a good model to buy?Since it is a medical instrument, would like to hear why that model is reliable too.
And what route?Ebay?Or the prices outside the same?
 
I've heard from my doctor friend/relative that a digital device is never accurate as the Steth + Sphygmomanometer combination. Also learning to use them is very easy. But unlike digital devices you can't self read.
 
@mod

well.. I basically want the device so that my parents can atleast get a heads up and confirm with the doc later with his device.A near correct figure is fine.

@straightforward,

where did you buy it from?how much does it cost?

yes this one is very good , we also have been using since quite long dont remember,

but recently a month back i bought this one from ebay

eBay India: CITIZEN UPPER ARM BLOOD PRESSURE MONITOR MODEL CH-432 B (item 150503607393 end time 14-Oct-2010 15:38:05 IST)

gives quite satisfactory results , can be used as a good indicator , very close to manual check up using a stetho

m sure this one wont disappoint u - my personal opinion

that citizen one will be just enough for that

dont buy the wrist monitors , they r very inaccurate, only get an arm monitor
 
Bought the Omron HEM-7111 from Ebay for close to 1.3K.
Also bought 2 Omron digital thermometers.After 10% coupon, total came upto 1.5K.
Didn't find the exact Omron models that you guys suggested.But anyways...thanks a lot guys
