Of particular note is Omron's unique Intellisense technology, which avoids re-inflation and over-compression. Unlike other brands of blood pressure monitors, including Andes, Microlife and Nissey, Omron provides better cuff pressure. This allows you to achieve an accurate result as quickly as possible, eliminating pain and squeezing.

We reviewed the 5 best Omron models in different price categories. Each has a large display that shows the result. Thanks to modern technology, measurements can be taken both at home and on the road. Since blood pressure changes regularly, we took into account the ability of the device to remember past results and compare them with new ones.

The rating takes into account ease of use, cost, additional functions and manufacturability. We also added simple inexpensive models without newfangled "chips" that quickly and efficiently do their job.

Top 5 best Omron blood pressure monitors

Arrows and dots are drawn on them to help you position the device correctly. The M1 compact remembers several previous measurements and displays them on the large display. The error in the readings is small, but it is recommended to take several measurements in a row and determine the average value.

The M1 compact has a large display with huge characters, which is suitable for people with low vision. The tonometer has an on and off button, after 5 minutes it will turn off by itself. Overall, this tonometer is considered an excellent budget version. However, users in the reviews warn that he starts to junk after 5 years, just when the warranty ends. It is not designed for decades of work.

4 M10-IT

The M10-IT is considered Omron's elite tonometer, which has a huge number of diagnostic functions, is equipped with the best technology and a comfortable cuff. It measures faster than other models and provides high accuracy.

It can be used in the car, the user is allowed to move or talk, it does not affect the results. The M10-IT offers the most features and can handle multiple devices, justifying the high price tag. However, not everyone needs such a sophisticated tonometer; many users do not use half of their abilities.

3 M6 comfort

The M6 ​​comfort adds a patented IntelliSense feature that allows the user to set the limit for cuff inflation. The device automatically detects the upper level for a specific person and stops. In terms of comfort, the M6 ​​is the best in this price category, and one of the most famous from Omron, for which we added it to the rating. The device automatically inflates air, at the end, the screen displays data on the pulse rate and pressure level. After 2 minutes, it turns off.

The M6 ​​comfort has a unique feature - the precision control function.The device checks the parameters after the user presses "Start". It tests functions and continues if all is well.

In general, the device has positive reviews, it raises no objections. Of the minuses, the overpriced is distinguished, it scares away buyers.

2 M3 expert

M3 Expert is able to detect the slightest heart vibrations, measure pulse and pressure. This device is very sensitive and gives a result with an error of 3 mmHg. Art., few people can work better. Omron warns of switching off and on with a sound signal, and during the measurement it beeps in time with the pulse. If the signals are annoying, you can turn them off. The set comes with a cuff measuring from 22 to 42 cm, which is suitable for most people.

The M3 Expert has a solid memory capacity, it remembers the past 60 measurements. The display is large, the numbers are visible even to elderly people with poor eyesight. A handy bag for storing the device is included with the tonometer. Overall, this is a good option with a few extra features and high quality. It has few drawbacks: the price is somewhat overpriced, the device bleeds air for the same amount of time as cheaper models. The cuff inflates strongly, people with full arms may not be very comfortable.

1 M2 basic

The leader of the rating was Omron M2 basic, which perfectly fulfills the standard functions of a tonometer, fully justifying its name. It is not surprising that it was he who became the most popular according to the queries of the Yandex search engine. This model is not packed with modern technology, but measures pressure quickly and accurately. The cuff is easy and soft to put on the arm due to the asymmetrical shape. There is a black dot on it, which will not allow you to mistakenly place the device. The display is large, the numbers are large, even a visually impaired user will see the result. The M2 basic does not have a sound signal, but you quickly get used to it and start turning off the device on time.

This model is protected by a five-year manufacturer's warranty. Overall, it is the best budget option. The only thing to remember is that the accuracy of the measurements depends on the position of the cuff and movement. If you sit upright and do not speak, the tonometer will show the correct result. However, unlike other positions in the ranking, this one does not have a storage bag in the set. Based on user feedback, the cuff and hose are tangled, which is inconvenient.
