Omron HEM 7120 Fully Automatic Digital Blood Pressure Monitor


PROS

10. Good battery backup, which lasts for months (depends entirely on your usage pattern though).
11. Omron Connect app to save readings and visualize them.


CONS :-
1. Screen has soft plastic,it’s not so hard.
2. There is no direct link b/w device and Omron connect app. You need to scan reading on display using app. Its OCR then converts and adds it to daily data.
3. AC adapter not included and is optional to purchase. Though battery works well for months. But still it would be a nice add-on.

▶ So far it does its job well. Cons are neither big enough nor directly affecting the primary task. So owing to its price bracket, its a 5 star device.

HOW TO TAKE READINGS

Readings vary with many factors and then people complain with inaccuracy in readings. These are minor things but overall they create deviations in reading and sometimes by large margins.

1. Cuff should be applied on same hand everyday with its lower end approx. 1-2cm above elbow.
2. When applied, cuff and heart should be approx. on same level.
3. Use same arm for reading every day.
3. Body must be relaxed while it’s working.
4. Use same chair or location for reading every day.
5. Time of reading should be same everyday
6. Bathing, alcohol or caffeine consumption, smoking, exercising, eating should be avoided for at least 30 min before taking reading.
7. Cuff should be closed firmly, neither too tight nor too loose.


WARRANTY (Valid for full 5 years against your Amazon provided bill) :-

Many users commented on warranty issue that its 5 year extension is not applicable since invoice or warranty card is not stamped and signed.

Websites warranty terms & conditions also say “The OMRON products shall have a ‘carry-in warranty’. The customer’s copy of the warranty card (Sign & Stamped) along with the INVOICE must be kept by customer in ORIGINAL for Warranty support service “

So to clear it out I got in touch with Omron support with bill copy provided by Amazon and they assured for 5 years extended warranty against bill/invoice from Amazon. Pdf bills are also digitally signed and have green tick on top left corner for that.

▶ Omron Support: “Your machine is eligible for 5 year warranty. Kindly keep this Bill Invoice with you for future reference.”


FINAL VERDICT:-
This one’s very basic model but more than sufficient for the quoted task of BP monitoring. It does its job well without having gimmicky features. Those features are handy but not necessary for core functionality.
You can very well go for this model and be assured with its performance. For rest there’s 5 years warranty.

▶ If you can extend you budget you can get other higher end models in series, but note that those have same core functionality with extra features like clock, last 60 memory, Bluetooth connectivity, cuff wrapping guide light, blood pressure level indicator etc.

▶ If your cuff size goes beyond 22 to 32 cm arm circumference, then do get higher end models like Omron 7270 which have large cuff wrap. As getting good quality spare large cuff wrap will be a costly affair and extra hassle too.

Please Note:- Regular monitoring is different but always consult doctor in case of any doubt and do not self-diagnose the results. Its home based monitoring device & not meant for professional usage (as mentioned by Omron in manual).
