Customers find the blood pressure monitor fits well. The cuff is large enough and easy to put on their arms. They mention it fits big arms perfectly, with the conical shape that fits well around an upper arm that is large at the armpit and narrows toward the elbow. The cuff comes with different cuff sizes, both as part of the model and as a separate purchase. It's adjustable, tapering to a smaller diameter near the elbow.

50 customers mention "Pain level"21 positive29 negative

Customers have different experiences with the blood pressure monitor. Some find it easy to use, comfortable, and accurate. The larger cuff makes taking pressure much more comfortable, and the clear operating guides and indicators add to the comfort. However, others report that the cuff never deflates, hurts like the dickens, and squeezes their arm hard, causing bruises. The height of the cuff so it sits uncomfortably on their arm, up into their armpit, which is awkward.

  • Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2008
    The LifeSource UA-789 Blood Pressure Monitor was purchased to replace an aging household monitor. However, I did use both just to compare the readings. Both had very similar readings and since my previous monitor was always well trusted I would consider the UA-789 to be accurate. A couple of household members also compared the readings before or after doctor checkups. Again, the UA-789 performed very well and had comparable readings to the doctor offices.

    This particular model is one of the few that come with an extra large cuff. The extra large cuff comes in handy, but since this particular monitor was going to be used by several people I also purchased the LifeSource UA-281 Blood Pressure Monitor Cuff, Large (14.2" - 17.7"). Interchanging the large and extra large cuff is quick and simple. No hassles at all.

    The unit is fairly quiet, although not the quietest on the market. It tends to be very quick, but there are times where it takes a little extra time to get a reading (this could be user error in the fitting of the cuff to the arm). The numbers on the screen are large and it also shows a graph (with a red, yellow, and green area) that indicates where the blood pressure is high or low.

    You have the option of using the included power cord or batteries with this unit. I tend to just use the power cord and it works like a charm. Overall, this was a great purchase and recommended to anyone.

    UPDATE 1/2/2010: Over a year later and the LifeSource UA-789 is still performing above and beyond. Readings have been very accurate compared to visits to the doctor office (a little time difference of course from the office to heading home and using the UA-789, but the readings are very close). The monitor still performs like it is new with fairly quiet operation. This was a very wise purchase and will remain in the household for much longer. Still a recommended purchase!

    Easy use, appropriate fit plus comes with extra cuff for larger arms. Inflates and deflates accurately. Gives consistent blood pressure and heart rate readings AND numbers are within 3 - 5mm difference between doctor's office blood pressure equipment.
  • Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2019
    My initial impression upon unpacking was that this is a clinical quality blood pressure machine. This is seen in the fine construction of the extra-large conical (cone-shaped) arm cuff that will fit 16 to 24 inch circumference upper arms and in the large digital display of the solidly made pump and measurement instrument. The conical cuff fits well around an upper arm that is large around at the armpit and narrows toward the elbow but unsuitable for non-tapering arms. The device will register up to 60 consecutive measurements . Blood pressures were within points of another automatic device and thus the LifeSource is consistently accurate. However, the measurements were not compared to those that could have been taken at your physician's office. It needs (not included) four AA batteries but can be used with a plug-in small power supply that is provided. Clear manuals and quick instruction sheets are included as well as a neat square zip bag that will contain everything.
    It might be useful to also purchase the regular large size cuff (LifeSource brand) for the rest of the adult family.
    Be careful to read the complete description of this blood pressure monitor as it is not refundable if you find it unsuitable.

  • Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2018
    On the advice of my cardiologist, I needed to purchase a home blood pressure monitor. This model UA-789 from Life Source with the XL cuff was problematic from the beginning. I carefully followed the instructions and finally achieved a reading. I would wait more than 5 minutes between retry attempts and went so far as to remove all batteries and unplug the cord for the cuff. I figured starting from the very beginning each time would give the best chance of getting it right. Only 1 out of 5 tries would result in any reading at all. The machine would give a reading sometimes. The failed attempts were just puffing up the cuff, a countdown and then - nothing. It would freeze up and not reset, not try to do another reading even after waiting, squishing down the cuff and being in the correct sitting position. I have a tendency toward blood pressure that is too low and my current medications for another issue could drop it dangerously low. The machine would give me very high readings like I have never gotten in the hospital, in the doctor's office or the specialty clinic. The support rep's response was that the machine was fine and that it likely that I did not have the cuff on properly. I explained that I could get some readings so the cuff must have been positioned well enough at some point on my own, but the machine was not consistent. He said my doctor would have to calibrate it. I said I would rather get a refund and he told me to have a nice day and hung up. My only response was a questioning sounding "OK." I was so shocked that I just sat quiet for a moment then started writing the review. I have enough life critical issues right now that I do not plan a huge campaign around this device. Time for the trash and a different product.

    The cost of this item is a little higher than I think it’s worth but it does provide easy and comfortable use. It works well for accurate reading and never have cuff issues causing problems like the cheap versions do. I went through 3 different ones before finding this but “you get what you pay for” is really true on these monitors, especially for someone with larger arms.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Actually fits my arm
    Reviewed in Australia on January 1, 2024
    Couldn't find a blood pressure machine anywhere in Australia that would fit my upper arm properly. Glad I imported this one, because it showed my BP is actually not that bad and that a lot of the readings I had at the doctors were wrong due to the arm bands being way too small. Sigh. Proper sized arm bands should be standard at clinics but we are a long way from that.

    My upper arms measure 21 inches and are quite flabby. The cuff on this is big even for me but o needed that for accurate readings. Plenty of room to Velcro it snug. Worked on my husband too whom has much smaller arms. Easy to use. Accurate. Great quality. I’m very happy with this purchase.
