My pharmacist recommended the Microlife BP monitor and it seems like a great unit. The only problem was I have large arms so he recommended the large cuff. For some reason the large cuff is more difficult to use and position on my arm. The velcro seems extra sticky. I get the same reading on both cuffs.

Works very well, fits a wide range of arm sizes, would buy again

This cuff works OK at first… then as the fabric wrinkles, it has a problem (because of the metal bar) of bunching up. Not only is this extremely painful, because it causes the cuff to pinch your arm and cut off circulation, but it also causes error messages on the machine, comes out with irregular heartbeat reading (because it’s not monitoring the heartbeat efficiently), and it gets shoddy results. I’ve tried to use it correctly, had this happen, and go to the doctor shortly after and found out that the results of the machine were completely innacurate.

Unfortunately, the only thing I’ve found to do when this starts happening is buy a new cuff, since it is slightly stiffer and resistant to wrinkling and bunching when it is fresh out of the packaging.

We have to keep our finger over the valve to keep it from leaking in order to use the cuff. Not sure what the value of the additional valve is. There does not appear to be any directions included.
