 GREAT!!!!!!Nov 20, 2009
It's perfect! I had many others but this one is the best I ever had.
Great productNov 20, 2009
Got this when a recent doctor visit revealed my wife had high blood pressure. This unit is very easy to use, and accurate (I tested it against the doctor's office). It has two memories; you can choose to enter your BP reading into memory 1, memory 2, or neither. It keeps track of the readings in each memory, and also gives an average of the readings in each memory.
You won't need the optional A/C charger - the batteries work just fine and seem to last (We've done about 100 readings so far).
It's actually a conversation piece when people come over - everyone wants their BP checked.

 Maybe I got a lemon?Nov 05, 2009
After recent values have placed me in the 'hypertensive' range, I felt I needed a monitor for home, to gauge the effects of my newly prescribed B/P med. As an RN, I'm quite familiar with various B/P monitors, and I certainly know how to use them. I did extensive research before settling on the Panasonic EW3222S, based largely on the wonderful reviews.
Although the machine is bulky, I really like the design. It is extremely easy to use, even for a novice, and I enjoy that the results are large enough that I can take my B/P sans reading glasses. I also like the 2 person memory, quick fit cuff, and cuff storage. I'm not sure that the '3 color light system' that indicates whether your reading is hypertension, prehypertension, or normal is necessary and it just takes up space. Most motivated in following their B/P's know the optimum range they are seeking. I would have preferred to see a different feature, such as, an irregular pulse monitor.
However, it matters not, that I like the design and ease of use, when I'm not obtaining accurate readings. For example, I just took my B/P with a result of 90/58. Well, I knew this was not an accurate value for me. I immediately took the reading again and it was 127/70. Quite a bit of difference. A few minutes later I got a diastolic B/P of 113. No way! I have checked out this machine against two others. If I take my B/P three times, I will get at least one value, that matches up closely with the other machines. But, who am I supposed to be---Kreskin? I'm supposed to know which of the three readings is closest to accurate? Also, there is a problem with the pulse rate. I frequently get readings over 100. When I take my pulse manually, by palpation, I find the pulse on the machine is almost always 9 to 10 BPM higher. Now, with this value, I can just simply subtract 10 BPM every time I receive a reading and will be in the ballpark, but there's no way to adjust for the manic B/P readings.
With the glowing, five star reviews here, I suspect I may have received a 'lemon.' I procrastinated too long to send it back, which is what I should have done. My advice would be to always check the accuracy of your machine against your physicians, because you must be on the same page. Inaccurate B/P readings, particularly when medications are being adjusted, is downright dangerous. If your Panasonic is functioning accurately, I think you will be very pleased with the overall design, which is why so many have praised the unit. I wish I could have been one of them. I'm going back to the old sphygmo and stethoscope, for now, while I continue my search.
Superior Blood Pressure MonitorOct 05, 2009
We had previously purchased a similarly priced product (different brand) which consistently gave error messages and low readings. We took the prior machine to the Doctor's office to discover that it provides readings that are substantially lower than the Doctor's equipment. This Panasonic almost never gives error messages and more importantly when taken to the Doctor's office, reads very close to the Doctor's equipment reading. The Doctor was very impressed with its accuracy and operation. We would strongly recommend this product.
