Best blood pressure monitor in my opinion would be either the Withings BPM Connect or the Omron Evolv, depending on your needs. Check them out here:
In this video I review two of my favorite blood pressure monitors at this time. Blood pressure control nowadays is so much easier and more convenient than it used to be back when most home blood pressure monitors were oversized and had tons of cables and wires. If you are looking for the best automatic blood pressure machine for home blood pressure monitoring, then keep on watching!

Update 2: measured on both bpm connect and omron evolv. To be enought you have to use 2 systems to have a sort of feel that you can thrust a bit the BP benchmark values. The data values are average wise the same. I did a 3 run test on the withings bpm connect and the omron evolv. Bpm connect can do that with a custom setting. Evolv not. But pressing 3x times with a little break is not that hard. My biggest positive for the omron is its clumsy proof. If your doubting the pressure on your arms than the evolv wins. I had to use the evolv in order to have a trusty feel of fitting with the bpm connect. Software wise omron connects nice with Samsung health directly. Bpm connect not. Data wise I'm a freak so I like the more open structure of withings health app. And also it syncs via WiFi. Omron wins in my opinion on speed, fitting and trustworthy measurements. Withings bpm connect wins on software and WiFi connection. So 8/10 for withings bmp connect and 9/10 for the omron. Im still not sure if I'm returning the bmp connect.
Thank you Ken, I'm going with the Withings.
Withings BPM Connect prices drops to $75 frequently
2025 omron almost twice as much as the other one 😂😂😂😂
Wireless in a blood pressure monitor is such useless bullshit! Also, no STUPID batteries. A good pressure monitor has a power adaptor that can be plugged in to a mains outlet.
I recently discovered that these monitors do not work when your heart rate is lower than 40 pulses per minute. 😞
I've got a Withings scale. Great quality but really poor software. There is NO way to print pdf and send a list of the past measurements. It just gives out the last one (so total useless). My ejection depends on this feature. Can you tell me about that?
I hate that omron is not going with time and just implement a type c plug. We live in 2024. Batteries are useful for travelling but 99% i measure blood pressure, i'm at home near a plug and not in the mountains. Even while travelling, i'd prefer to use usb c. It runs on 6v 1A, it would be so easy to implement. I also don't want to carry extra batteries when travelling or replace them once a week
I contacted omron and they're saying there is no plans to implement that in the future.
Every app that monitors your blood pressure and works on your phone shares this data in order to better match ads. Maybe in the US you don't care about privacy. It's your business, but in Europe such solutions are banned. That's why we always go for "closed" measurements. Always a red flag for a phone app.
Is this a paid ad?
Is Bp A2 classic from microlife any good?
I just bought it But I still have the receipt….
Appreciate your opinion
Thanks
Who cares about features when in comes to BP cuffs. They need to be accurate and most are not. Some have wifi yippie but they are 15Pts too high to reality. Which is closest to a mercury reading. You need a baseline unit to compare to. If you do not have that this is a useless video. Grow a spine and do that in a video.
Omron us now 30% more than the Withings. Also for some unfathomable reason it seems to require a US IP address to connect to bluetooth according to Amazon reviews.
Omron Evolv BP 7000 will allow you to delete blood pressure readings if it transfers to the wrong phone.
Need accuracy test. This is the number one requirement!
The withings bpm core I got as a present is unprecise and not accurate hence dangerous. Withings support does not react. Withings app is junk.
OMRON M7 Intelli IT Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor HEM-7322T-E is the one i have seen to buy but its not on this BP Validate website. It looks very good but im wondering if its still worth buying?? Any help would be much appreciated xx Thanks
This video should be titled , The Better BP Monitor, as you're only looking at two.
You low life, used all, returned all.
I prefer dry cell batteries to rechargeable in many cases, because if you have rechargeable batteries, the life of your unit is limited to the number of charge cycles for that battery. But I come from a time when devices were expected to last more than three or four years. haha
What is the knocking noise in the background music or whatever it is. It's annoying.
i have withings for a few years now and would NOT recommend. it is very inaccurate, my cheap wrist monitor from a random amazon brand is extremely accurate, checked against my manual readings…very upset with withings
Have you ever tried the omron 7 series wrist one?
This is great for all you young people…. but older people don't want bluetooth, smartphone and all that nonsense. We just want a good old fashioned cuff.
Basically a worthless review for me. He's a doctor but it's probably safe to say he's not an electronics expert. As others mentioned why not test for accuracy!? Sorry to be harsh but my guess is that's what people care about the most.
All I want is a trained medical professional, preferably a cardiologist to select a few high rated models then take them to a hospital and then compare the results.
My last unit was the Omron Evolv which gave me readings that I know were way off and they were taken minutes apart different arms. I did notice the tightness of the cuff made a difference, but still couldn't trust the readings. I take my own manually now which is a bit tricky and a bit off a pain so I would still prefer a machine.

I bought Omron Evolv for my mother on Amazon UK for my mother to track blood pressure and then I found MedM Health Diary app which is compatible with Omron Evolv and this app automatically exports blood pressure data to Apple Health
I upgraded to the withings from a Braun I check 7 after I realised it was very inaccurate.
