Summary: Nothing But Trouble
Comment: I have to take my BP daily, so after reading reviews that were mostly favorable, I bought this one in May 2008. From the start the BP ran higher than at my doctors office...usually 10 to 15 points. Same for my husband, so we started subtracting that amount from our daily readings,and all was well until mid November 2oo8.
Suddenly the readings jumped 20 to 25 points higher than at the doctors office. The first time that happened I panicked, brought the machine in, and had it checked against my BP, which showed the machine reading 25 points higher both diastolic and systolic. I am sending the machine which is under warranty as it is only 6 months old to be repaired or replaced by the manufacture. I hope it will then be accurate in its readings.
I just ordered a manual blood pressure machine with a built in steththescope through Amazon, and will have it in 2 days. We will learn to use it for BP readings, and to gauge the accuracy of the repaired or replaced 711 AC. I prefer the ease of the electronic BP machines, but not the hassle of the high readings. This machine has been nothing but trouble from the start. Hopefully once it is returned, I will become a satisfied user. It might be that mine is a lemon, and others work great, but from my experience it is a loser.
I DO NOR RECOMMEND IT!!!!!
