Evolv Wireless Blood Pressure Monitor for Home Use & Upper Arm Blood Pressure Cuff - #1 Doctor & Pharmacist Recommended Brand - Clinically Validated - Connect App

I have been taking my blood pressure twice a week for several years now. Previously I manually kept a record of my BP readings in a log so that my doctor could review the info. Recently, I decided to upgrade my old blood pressure monitor to one that synced to an app on my phone to simplify my record keeping and make it even easier to share the info with my doctor. I took a chance on this battery powered BP cuff which is more compact and has no tube running from the device to the cuff. I have been using this BP monitor for several months now and it has proven to be a great choice. The BP readings seem to be very accurate. It was easy to set up and it syncs to the Omron app on my phone which stores the most recent 100 BP readings. You can also record your weight and other health related info in the app. I would buy this BP monitor again.

This is more accurate than any other blood pressure monitor on amazon or Walmart, i still think it reads a bit high, but we've tried three other at home monitors and this one is only a few points off the one at the doctors office. Super easy to use. The app is maybe 4/5 but it syncs well with apple health. The trick is to keep the app open, when its done reading blood pressure ON THE APP, hit the sync button (two half arrow symbol top right of screen, NOT the same symbol sync button on the monitor. If you tap the app sync button it syncs in seconds. Took a few tries to figure that out. It's worth the money in my opinion. It's a single unit, i can put it on my grandmas arm is 2 seconds, no finicking with the reader and slipping a sleave, just open it and it more or less just clamps itself on the arm.

I should have gotten this ages ago - my doctor would have been happier. It was always such a pain to take my own blood pressure, I usually conveniently "forgot". This one is super easy - no tubes, no fuss, just put it on your arm so you can see the readout and press go. Seems to be much more accurate than my old one, also. I am not one for connectivity, but the display is easy to see, easy to read (no extraneous info) and I can write down the numbers myself. I don't regret the extra expense.

I would give this review a 5 if it was USB rechargeable. It works like a charm. I link it on my android phone with their app and have a clear record of my blood pressure readings. As it is so easy to use, I found it easy to stay on track and not miss readings.

An excellent and accurate product that can sync to your device and keep a history of your measurements. Really like that you don't have to fuss with a tube connection. Battery lasts weeks even with daily use. Worth every penny.

Works well and can be put on without help. It syncs with Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra nicely for calibrating the Watch BP app. While calibrating, you do need to turn the cuff off and back on to complete the calibration.

I reluctantly returned this product after trying to give it every chance before the 30 day return window closed. I wanted to like it, the convenience of not having to deal with tubes and bulbs and having to manually write down my blood pressure readings were certainly attractive features. But the bottom line is that blood pressure reading are critically important, inaccurate readings can result in serious health issues, even death. I returned it because I couldn’t trust it. THE 3 TYPES OF MONITORS Before getting into the details of why this unit is a bad idea, just a little background on the three most popular types of monitors for measuring your blood pressure at home. The least user friendly is the type you have to put on a cuff and squeeze a bulb to inflate it. Doctors can do that in their sleep but I never know how much to pump before hurting myself. The second type is a cuff you wrap around your upper arm connected by a rubber tubing to a small box with a display on it. These are by far the most popular in the world, all you have to do is press one button and it automatically inflates the cuff properly and if it doesn’t get it right the first time it knows to try again. The reading is displayed, usually in huge easy to read numbers and almost all of them keep a history for you and several other family members. Many of them can also transmit the results to an app on a computer, smartphone or tablet. Then there’s the Evolv. It offers you two things – having everything built into one bulky unit that wraps around your arm, and second, an astronomical price. It doesn’t do anything better, it’s not more accurate, it’s not easier to use (in fact as you will read here it can be extremely difficult to use). Omron isn’t the first with one of these, I had the first Qardio way back in 2014 that was essentially the same thing and my doctor told me to throw it away. Withings, Wellue, Greater Goods, Panacare and several other companies sell almost identical units. None of them are as trustworthy as the popular style with the cuff and rubber tube. THE CODE 4 ERROR Perhaps the most commonly reported flaw of this unit is the Code 4 error, which chastises you that you must not move nor talk during a reading session. This error even seems to confound the technical support people at Omron, the manufacturer. I am capable of sitting perfectly still and there is no one in the room with me to talk to. The defect is that the machine itself doesn’t stay still, it vibrates while in use, and I see no way that it is smart enough to differentiate between a person moving and the unit itself vibrating. From the day I bought it the device would not give me a blood pressure reading on the first try, it would instead display the Code 4 error telling me not to move or talk. So many people have reported this design flaw I am unable to understand why Omron lets it continue. The error code happens not once, not twice but as many as ten times, or even more before it will finally take a reading, and sometimes it never does. That is unacceptable and gives me serious concern that when (if) it finally takes a reading that the result is accurate. TECHNICAL SUPPORT Omron encourages customers to call them on the telephone for customer support, which is insensitive to all those who are non-verbal, speechless or unable to communicate in a supported language. To their credit they do have a way of filling out an online support request, I mention this because many if not most of the largest companies no longer offer online forms or email support, they demand that the customer call them, which is impossible for some people. When I brought this to Omron’s attention they did not take my suggestion seriously, in fact they were offended. But I did reach a person who responded by email the same day. She asked me a scripted series of questions, some of which did not even apply to the Evolv product, which indicates this company needs to put more attention into their training budget. None of the questions specifically addressed the Code 4 error but they gave me the opportunity to respond with detailed answers and an offer to help them have a better understanding of what is right and what is wrong with this product, which evidently was designed more for a crowdfunding wow factor rather than as a practical medical grade piece of equipment. After I took the time to answer their list of questions guess what they did? They ignored me, that’s right, faced with design flaw that so many people have reported they chose to stick their heads in the sand and hope I would go away, maybe no one would read my review. They were wrong, this information is too important to bury or ignore, people don’t buy blood pressure monitors for kicks or to play games. Ignoring the issue forced me to return this gadget to Amazon and post my honest review. Ignoring my request for support lost them the entire five points for this review. WHAT ELSE IS WRONG Since I consider the product unacceptable I won’t detail all that is wrong with it but I will touch on some of the obvious ones. Omron’s tech support seems to put a lot of emphasis of ordering the product with the correct cuff size for it to work properly but the Evolv is only sold in one cuff size which cannot be removed and changed, despite them insisting on knowing my arm size their own literature says the cuff fits pretty much every arm. But it seems to them their product can only really work if your body fits their ideal of what a body should be shaped like – but human bodies are not all shaped the same. As mentioned, they seem to have put form over function in many ways to make the design attractive to investors but not practical for users. There are many things wrong with the design – the status window is shiny black plastic which is difficult to position so the display can be read without glare. But even if it was not shiny the digits are unnecessarily small, dim and use a very thin font. Making the assumption that blood pressure devices are used more by older individuals than teens it doesn’t make sense that they would design a display that is so difficult to read, especially for their target customer base. The buttons are also of poor design. I appreciate that they are tactile, which means that at least they are not touch sensitive, but they are flush with the surface of the display and only have a microscopic range of movement, making them difficult for anyone to use and perhaps impossible for those with older, less agile fingers. These are just some of the more glaring design issues, there are more. THE APP I’ve read many reviews bemoaning the app starting out fine then turning into a heavy-handed pitch to upgrade to a subscription service. I did not get any such ad promotions pitched at me and I found the app to be acceptable, if not the best. I will say that if this or any app turned into something that required a subscription after I bought and paid for the hardware I would return it and not buy from that company again. I believe that especially when it comes to a health-related product that requiring a subscription to use it is unacceptable. YES OR NO Other than being a nice toy to show off and having a sleek shiny plastic case to impress your friends if you are in the habit of taking your blood pressure readings in front of them I see no reason to pay over seventy bucks for a device that consistently gives me error messages that the people who make it can’t fix which results in readings I can’t trust. I really wanted to like the convenience of this item but for me it is a no. I would advise reading any glowingly positive reviews carefully and deciding for yourself if they actually addressed any of the important issues I’ve detailed above or just rubber stamped a positive rating. Knowing all this I hope this information has been useful and helpful to as you compare prod

don't waste your money on cheap BPMs you will only have to buy a new one over and over again, spend the money on this and use it with your KARDIA mobile app I have the KARDIA 6-point EKG travel that I take with me everywhere, this cuff is small and is recommended by all of the doctors, it works with the app and tells you what stage your pressure is in and that can save your life.

Very good and accurate had a few issues setting it up with the iPhone but once that was resolved it is excellent

Best BP machine in the market. Most importantly it is very accurate and the readings matches the doctors bp apparatus. Yes it is expensive, but most of the cheaper models are not accurate. The Bluetooth connection is flawless and the readings sync with your phone (have tried only on Apple iPhone) and the health app on iPhone. The app is basic but that’s what’s needed - a place where all readings can be stored. The cuff is moulded and is very easy to put on by self if others are not around. The app also notifies for any arrhythmias (like afib, pvcs etc). Very easy to carry around while travelling. The photo shows the machine in white colour but received a full black one (thanks for that). A must have instrument for all hypertensive patients, or even others who want to keep a check on their BP.

This is a great little blood pressure reader. Super easy to use, well built, and accurate. You set this up with the Omron app, which it is important to select the correct model, otherwise it won’t sync and register. Once registered, it will send data to the app after each reading and maintains a log which can be exported to give to a health professional if required. It applies quite a bit of pressure to the arm in order to get the reading, but the only thing you need to do is push the start button, sit still, and relax.

Easy to use and keep BP record whenever wherever we are. Easy to carry and compact. Most importantly its smart features are wonderful. Super product.
