Doctors recommend that all adults, regardless of health status, regularly measure blood pressure. Constant monitoring of vital signs will help to notice the first signs of serious diseases in a timely manner. In hypertensive patients, especially, the tonometer should always be at hand along with a set of necessary medicines.The range of devices for measuring pressure in pharmacies is quite diverse - manufacturers offer users both standard mechanical blood pressure monitors and modern electronic models with fixation on the shoulder, wrist and even finger.
Despite the ease of use of automatic models, mechanical models are still considered the best. Judging by the reviews of doctors, not a single electronic tonometer can compete with them in accuracy. Therefore, mechanical models are used in all medical institutions. But you should give preference to them only if you know how to use them yourself or there is always a person nearby who will help you measure the pressure at any time.

Rating (2022): 4.6
Not the most common company in Russia. But the lack of popularity of American medical measuring instruments is due only to a small number of offers in pharmacies and specialized stores.

Very practical, convenient and high-quality model of a tonometer. The set includes a stethophonendoscope with a one-sided head and a case for storing the device.

Country: USA
Average price: 930 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.7
Inexpensive, but very high quality model from an American manufacturer. The package includes the device and a case for its storage. A phonendoscope or stethoscope will have to be purchased separately. The characteristics are typical for a mechanical tonometer - fixation on the shoulder, dial gauge, cuff 20-40 cm. The main feature of the model, which is noted by all users, – high quality materials and workmanship.

Country: Russia (produced in China)
Average price: 974 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.7
Another popular company that manufactures medical products. Its electronic and mechanical blood pressure monitors can be found in any pharmacy and specialized stores.

The pear is equipped with a dust filter for a longer service life.

5 Microlife BP AG1-10
Country: Taiwan (made in China)
Average price: 880 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.8
A fairly well-known company that produces high-quality automatic and mechanical blood pressure monitors. Specifically, this model has a standard design, a universal cuff measuring 25-40 cm. Pressure measurement will be equally comfortable for a thin and overweight person. The numbers on the pressure gauge are quite large and clear, well readable. Despite the good quality of the product, self-measurement of pressure requires at least a minimum skill, since the tonometer and phonendoscope are used separately.
Doctors do not bypass this device. They leave positive feedback about it, indicating its accuracy and long service life. With active use in a hospital, the tonometer can withstand several years. Physicians love the cuff's versatility and the high quality of the cuff material. Therefore, they recommend it for professional and home use.
4 Rudolf Riester Ri-san
Country: Germany
Average price: 6000 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.8
This model did not get into first place only for two reasons - high price and professional purpose. Budget blood pressure monitors are also suitable for home use, not all buyers consider such expenses justified. But the model is accurate, reliable and easy to use.She has two features: a pear is combined with a tonometer, the air descends when a button is pressed. The design is comfortable, but it takes time to get used to it.
Stethoscope not included, sold separately. There is no need to buy an expensive model from the same company. You can take any, even the cheapest stethoscope. The model is available with cuffs of different sizes, at this point you should pay attention when buying. Due to the high price, there are few reviews about the tonometer, more often they are written by doctors. And they do not mention the downsides related to the functionality or accuracy of the device.
3 AND UA-200 with Rappaport stethoscope
Country: China
Average price: 1572 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.9
This model is produced by one of the most famous and widespread manufacturers of blood pressure monitors. A mechanical tonometer, standard in terms of characteristics, has one feature - it includes a Rappaport stethoscope. This is a particularly sensitive and convenient device that helps to accurately measure the pressure even for a person with a weak, changeable pulse. The cuff has a standard size - 22-32 cm. The permissible error of the device is no more than 3 mm Hg. Art.
Reviews about the tonometer are good, both from doctors and ordinary users. The stethoscope is very comfortable - does not put pressure on the ears, audibility is excellent.

Country: Singapore
Average price: 1230 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.9
In recent years, the devices of this company have been in high demand due to the high quality of products, measurement accuracy and moderate cost. The mechanical sphygmomanometer of a standard design on the shoulder is adapted for the right and left hand, is easy to use and gives a minimum reading error. The cuff size is standard - 26-36 cm. It is better for overweight people to consider another option.

The device itself is made with high quality, in comparison with the most accurate mercury thermometers, it gives only a small error, not exceeding 3 mm Hg. Art. A small drawback is the careless tailoring of the cover, but it has nothing to do with the functionality of the device.
1 B.Well WM-61
Country: Great Britain
Average price: 830 rub.
Rating (2022): 5.0
In appearance and configuration, the tonometer from a fairly well-known English company almost does not differ from other similar models. It is fixed on the shoulder, the information is displayed on the dial gauge. The length of the cuff is 25-40 cm - has an increased size. From the advantages of the model, doctors highlight the easy rotation of the deflator screw, a soft pear, clear and large numbers on the pressure gauge. The device is simple and easy to use, the error in pressure indicators is minimal.
The tonometer is made qualitatively, rather compact in comparison with mechanical tonometers from other companies. Users highlight the low cost of the device as a separate plus. The only significant drawback is that there is no phonendoscope or stethoscope in the kit.
