A home blood pressure monitor gives a reading taken in your own lounge room rather than in a clinic, which for many people is a truer picture than a single reading taken somewhere unfamiliar.

The range covers upper arm monitors, replacement cuffs in several sizes, and power adaptors.

Cuff size changes the reading. A cuff that is too small reads high and one that is too large reads low, so measuring your arm once and matching it to the right cuff is worth the two minutes it takes.

Some models in the range screen for atrial fibrillation while they take the reading. Atrial fibrillation is an irregular heart rhythm that often has no symptoms, and a monitor that flags it is prompting a conversation with your doctor rather than giving a diagnosis.
