I have two of these cuffs now so I can keep one by the bedside and one at the computer where I work. The cuff measures while it is inflating then releases all at once when it's done which I like. I've brought it into the Dr twice to make sure it matches their readings and it is good. Only complaints are no brightness setting on the screen and no way to turn off the beeps when it starts and finishes a reading. It's quiet enough to take a reading in the middle of the night in bed and not wake your partner if you put the unit under a pillow. A dimmer screen and no beep settings would help with that. Definitely recommended.
