Generation Guard Blood Pressure Monitor Review

Generation Guard
Blood Pressure Monitor

My husband works in a hospital and usually takes any medical equipment I buy with him to work to test their accuracy (bp monitors, thermometers, etc). I am confident in stating that the Generation Guard BP monitor is accurate to hospital equipment according to my husband (+/- a few points). He used the monitor several times through his shift against several hospital-issued BP monitors within the hospital. We've been through a few BP monitors in the past and I've liked this one the most for reasons explained below.

=============
What I Like:
=============
✔  Super easy to use, read, and understand the display. 
✔  Very comfortable on the wrist (both my beefy husband and my tiny wrists agree).
✔  Directions are written in plain easy-to-understand English. 
✔  Works fast - it doesn't squeeze your arm for what feels like twenty min before you get the readout (like my previous one).
✔  Fully adjustable to fit big and small arms
✔  Memory function to record previous readings. 
✔  Auto turn off after 1 min to preserve battery life.
✔  To use, you place your arm out in front of you instead of up and across the chest.
✔  Displays date, time, systolic & diastolic values, pulse per min, irregular heartbeat indicator, low battery indicator, memory indicator, and blood pressure classification to recognize hypertension as per world health organization standards.

✔  Whats in the box:  BP Monitor, hard-shell plastic case, easy to read/understand manual, and battery

==============
What I Don't Like:
==============
✘  Other than the display not having back-lighting, there really was nothing in my experience with this item that warranted concern. I have had no problems thus far. Some people don't care about items having back-lighting on the display but I have really bad eyes and found it hard to read the display in low-light....however, I have macular degeneration and not all people have poor vision like me so no stars removed as this is a personal preference.  Just thought I would note it for anyone that is looking for something with a back-light.

=============
Overall Opinion:
=============
The BP monitor feels of good quality. The band is adjustable and the display is easy to read.  I like that you only need to hold your arm outright and not up and across your chest (like I had to with a previous monitor I was using). It has worked well and is comparable to hospital quality equipment so I can safely say that I am happy with this product.
