Good, one-handed cuff, accurate and compact.
I bought the Beurer monitor based on a recommendation from Wirecutter. I generally trust their reviews. I have and have been using a monitor from another company. The Beurer wasn't available anywhere, even places where you would expect it to be in stock, like Amazon. I waited and bought it when I saw it was available. I had questions about the accuracy of the device I was using and the BM55 is supposed to be very accurate. It seems that's correct. The BM55 has some positive and not-so-positive characteristics that I will mention here. The positive aspects of the product are very important. The couple of negatives are not so negative as to dissuade a purchase. On the down side, this model doesn't have Bluetooth or any way to move data from the device to your computer. I believe you can use their app and service as an intermediary. Bluetooth is not a big deal for me and Beurer has models that include the feature. Also on the downside, I find the inflation tube to be a bit short. I've tugged the meter while putting the cuff on. More than once. I wear the cuff on my right arm and the tube is connected to its plug as if it were being use by a left-armer, making the tube even shorter for me, though by just a very little bit. It also seems to me that the meter deflates the cuff a bit slower than the meter I had been using. Accuracy is more important than speed, so that's not a big deal either. On the positive side, I know that the meter is accurate. I've compared its results to other meters. The cuff. The cuff it it's best feature. The cuff can be put on by the person taking readings. It's not necessary to have another person walk over to tighten and secure the cuff. You pull the end through a wide d-ring, or similar, and fasten the velcro. The velcro on this cuff is like that at a doctor's office. It doesn't slip and you won't hear it tearing apart as the cuff inflates. The cuff is large enough for a fat arm. Beurer should offer an XL sized cuff though. All-in-all, I recommend the device. It's inexpensive, accurate, not overly "clinical" looking, and easy to use.

A great value for something that works!
We've been through a number of blood pressure monitors over the years--big expensive ones, small wrist-mounted ones, and other options in between. They tend to work for a bit and then stop working, and replacing or fixing them is a chore if it's even possible. And on occasion, we would have two monitors at once, and they would return very different results. Our doctor suggested looking into the Beurer line, and we ended up picking the BM55 based on a variety of sources recommending it. Our experiences after several weeks of use are entirely positive. The BM55 is quiet. A person in the next room didn't even recognize that I was using it. It's entirely inaudible from 20 feet away. It's small and easily portable too with a great carrying case to keep it on hand where you need it... and to put it somewhere obvious to help you remember to use it! We have very different arm sizes, and the cuff is highly adjustable and fits us both very well. With weeks of daily use, the batteries haven't even begun to flicker as tested with an independent battery tester. The memory features are outstanding and easy to use, and it's easy to switch between two different users' data. The screen output is big and easy to read with a nice backlit screen. This thing is very simple to operate and read, and that's going to be a big plus for users who might struggle with smaller displays or other technical limitations. Our family agrees that this monitor is a great value for its price, and we're probably going to pick up a second one just to have it or to keep one in another location... or to give as a gift!

Very nice BP Monitor
I have been using the BM55 for about 6 years - the cuff wore out and it was easy to get a new one from Buerer. The older model was able to transfer the results to my computer but it was quite cumbersome. I decided to order the newest version to have a second monitor. The new model does connect to the computer which, as I mentioned, was not very efficient and I never referred to that old information anyway. The 60 reading rolling memory is more than enough. I also like the fact that this monitor can save info for two users. My administrative assistant likes to keep track of her BP as well. The BM55 has also been quite consistent. It never made sense to me that one's BP could be so variable even when taken within minutes apart. The consistency assures me that it is likely quite accurate. The arrhythmia indicator is wonderful as I fight afib and, though I do not have dramatic symptoms, it is great to know if it is present or not. There is no learning curve to this machine except to learn how to access previous readings in the memory. The quality is exceptional for the price. I use the included carrying case regularly for vacations and travel.

Amazing Product
Let me start by saying to read the manual first before you get the product up and running. This will go a long way. With that being said, once you insert the batteries on this monitor and program the initial settings.... it's smooth sailing from there. I like the fact that it's compact, easy to use and it stores the reading history on my phone with the app. This makes it super easy to track so I have something to show my doctor on my visits. I tested this monitor while in the doctor office and it was pretty accurate compared to their machine. So I'm happy to know that when I use my monitor I'm getting accurate readings. There is a downside but not much of a big deal for me. It's battery operated which means replacement batteries. I didn't mind getting rechargeable batteries for it so when I have to change them, I swap them out for fresh ones and recharge the old ones so they be ready to be swapped out again.
