AND, Omron or B.Well - comparison of the best automatic blood pressure monitors 2021

If not only the accuracy of pressure measurement is important to you, but also the appearance of the device, we recommend that you pay attention to the B.Well model. Among the compared blood pressure monitors, it looks more compact, lighter. Smooth shape, large display, combination of white and silver. The design is modern and concise.

Andes brand tonometer looks good. It is larger, but not massive. The shape is not so smooth, but not primitive either. A bright touch to the design is made by the WHO color scale. Nicely designed display. White text on a dark blue background is easy to read.

But Omron can not boast of a particularly sophisticated design. Since the appearance of the first automatic blood pressure monitors for the home, its appearance has not changed much. The massiveness, the utmost simplicity of design have been preserved. The model has been produced for a long time, it is noticeable that the manufacturer does not attach much importance to design.

In terms of configuration, the three models participating in the comparison are approximately the same. All tonometers work from batteries and a network. The kit includes adapters for connecting to a power outlet. But according to one parameter, B.Well confidently wins.It comes with a universal cuff 22-42 cm, which is suitable for any arm circumference. Omron and AND are equipped with medium cuffs 22-32 cm. It will not be very convenient for overweight or large people to use them. And the Andes loses to the rest of the comparison participants by the lack of a storage case and the lowest rating from users according to the “complete set” criterion.

The AND tonometer bypasses all other participants in the comparison in terms of functionality. Remembering the last 30 measurements helps you keep track of blood pressure changes throughout the day or week without keeping a paper journal. The model implements the mode of several measurements with displaying the average value. And the WHO color scale shows whether the pressure is normal. The Omron tonometer also remembers the last 30 measurements, has a WHO scale, but does not know how to calculate the average value. B.Well is the simplest in terms of functionality. Only one last measurement is stored in memory, there is no WHO scale.

According to the technical characteristics, all three models should give the same accuracy.They use the oscillometric method of measurement, the error is 3 mm Hg. Art. And even additional options do not help determine the winner. All three devices use intelligent cuff inflation. When air is injected, the sensors monitor the pulsation of the vessels, determine the optimal level of cuff inflation for each specific user. This not only improves measurement accuracy, but also makes it more comfortable and painless. Everything is the same, only in the AND tonometer, the mode of several measurements is additionally used with the calculation of the average. Despite this, users consider Omron to be the best in terms of accuracy. He is given the highest rating and less likely to complain about incorrect readings. B.Well buyers also find it quite accurate. And on AND, despite the mode of calculating the average value of three dimensions, there are the most complaints about incorrect indicators.

In terms of ease of use, all three models received the same high rating from users - 4.9 points. All blood pressure monitors are controlled by one button, they work from batteries and from the mains. But users still consider the B.Well device to be the best in terms of convenience. Its compact size, light weight and storage case make it a great travel option.The large display with easy-to-read numbers is suitable for the elderly. A large cuff allows you to use the blood pressure monitor for all family members. AND is also small, but the case is not included in the package. Omron is the most massive, more suitable for home use.

B.Well is the cheapest blood pressure monitor in comparison. It costs about 2000 rubles. And this is with very good characteristics, a fairly high measurement accuracy. Decent inexpensive option. Slightly more expensive is the most functional AND comparison device. Omron, despite its massiveness, primitive appearance turned out to be the most expensive. But its price is well justified by accuracy. In addition, according to user reviews, it is the most durable.

Yandex.Worstat query statistics and customer ratings clearly show that Omron blood pressure monitor is the most popular model. This is due, first of all, to the fact that it has been produced for a long time, has established itself as an accurate and reliable device. Buyers are interested in it on average twice as often as in the B.Well blood pressure monitor and 18 times more often than in the Andes model.

According to the number of victories according to the criteria, the B.Well tonometer confidently takes the first place. It is compact, easy to use, pleasing to the eye and cheaper than other models. But these are not the main advantages for medical technology. The real winner would be Omron because of the best accuracy and popularity with users. This device has been produced for a long time, over the years it has proven itself well. For the accuracy and serviceability of his work, he can be forgiven for the massiveness and simplicity of design. But the Andes, except for functionality, is not happy with anything special. The device is good, but nothing more.
