Omron Mx 2
For an economical home blood pressure monitor you couldn`t do better than this model. I like the feature that indicates an error if you haven`t placed the monitor in the right position for accuracy. This is why many people complain that their units are not functioning properly when really it`s a matter of positioning. This monitor comes with a clinical validated guarantee. Out of 96 reviews to date - 60 reached 5 stars. Costs £14.40

Omron M10 IT
A couple can use the Omron M10 IT between them as it has a double tracking system. There are many features to this unit that perhaps you won`t get around to using, or you may find too complicated, but they are not necessary if you just want to get a good reading. Those extra features are for those who want to track their morning and evening blood pressure over a period of time. Doctors get a better picture of their patient`s BP when they use a home blood pressure monitor, so with this unit you can send the doc your readings by email. Out of 68 reviews to date - 49 reached 5 stars. Costs £47.40
3.
Omron M2 Compact
If you want a reasonably priced, compact portable, the Omron M2 Compact might be what you are looking for. No frills on this model just simplicity. But as usual, to get an accurate reading it is vital to place the cuff properly. Out of 33 reviews to date - 26 reached 5 stars. Costs £15.44

Omron MIT Elite black/white
Some of us are not willing to loose out on style for the sake of accurate blood pressure monitor. You can have both with this slim and stylish looking home blood pressure monitor in black or white. A very useful feature to this model is it`s ability to give 3 readings within 10 minutes and averages them for a more reliable overall result. It also can detect body movement which can cause false readings. Adding to the usefulness of the Omron MIT Elite is the irregular heartbeat detection. It boast more great features, but those I have mentioned are enough to impress. Is it worth the price? There is only 1 review to date and the only problem the user had was using the software. This one will be a shot in the dark if you choose it, but it`s got all the latest technology, and if you want style, go for it. Costs £79.90 for black - £41.99 for white.
