3.0 out of five stars Not matched with Health Vault, March 4, 2011
By Samuel Clemmens “SamC” (San Marcos, CA) See all my reviews () This review is from: Omron BP791IT 10+ Series Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor, Black/white, big (Health and Beauty) This is a nice BP monitor but it isn’t matched with HealthVault because Omron hasn’t provided the needed device drivers. This is the major reason why I bought this model.

I tried using the other Omron driver for the HEM 790IT but it didn’t work.

This monitor is matched with the Omron health management software but this software isn’t good. On a 1900×1080 screen the software is 1/8 the size of the screen and cant be re sized. The software was clearly intended for Windows XP. In fact it makes you install Microsoft Net Framework one which has Windows seven compatibility issues. If you have a newer computer, you’ll be disappointed in this software.

I can not recommend this monitor to anybody till Omron comes up with HealthVault drivers. If they do, then it’s a pretty nice monitor.

4.0 out of five stars BP meters keep to get better . And more complex, April 10, 2011
By J. Peterson (Minnesota) See all my reviews
(REAL NAME) This review is from: Omron BP791IT 10+ Series Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor, Black/white, big (Health and Beauty)
Buyer review from the Vine™ Program () I have owned/used some number of other blood pressure meters over the years, as well as ones from Omron and LifeSource. The older units look pretty basic in comparison to this new Omron, which gives important more computerized functionality than the older units. But, this does come at the cost of greater complexity.

Good things about the new Omron:

“TruRead” mode, which automatically takes three sequential readings and averages them. I generally did this manually with my older units anyway because the readings could differ somewhat from time to time, but this one does it with one touch of a button, , then computes the average for you.

Cuff is nice: broad and inflexible, which I find much easier to apply.

Automatically establishes if you applied the cuff properly.

Like a dozen other things I own these days, this unit can connect to my computer via USB, which luckily is by the common “mini” USB connector and not the less common “micro” USB connector, which means that you may use the same USB cord as you use for many other devices.


Things that may or may not be good:

It’s set up to manage two regular users, via an A/B slide switch. This really is only useful if you have two people who both use the same unit on a regular base, and they both want to have the unit keep track of averages or download readings to a computer. Of course, you must remember to set the switch in the right position for you so you do not get mixed up, which could destroy the value of any history.

You may be able to connect it to your Windows computer as mentioned above, supposedly to connect to Microsoft Health Vault (which I didn’t attempt who wants to upload their personal info to something run by Microsoft?) or to Omron’s Health Management software package which you may be able to download and run privately on your Windows PC. I did attempt out the latter, which does let you to upload stored readings to your computer for graphing of historical trends. I find this only marginally useful if at all I do keep my own log in Excel, where I may also add notes, add other data, and examine and graph it myself all without having to plug it in to my computer. I did experience many difficulty uploading, where it wasn’t evident what to do to begin the upload after connecting the unit to my computer.

Things that aren’t so good:

It has different computational abilities like a memory, capability to keep history for morning & evening readings, etc. I suppose this could supply many value to those who are tech oriented and could value the extra info, but I find that it just adds needless complexity to the device with little use to me. I found it hard to figure out how to make this work, after (re)reading the instruction manual some number of times. Anything that requires you to keep the instruction manual useful flunks my usability test, and probably won’t be used by 98 of most users. Factoid to offer contrast: My old LifeSource unit had just one button, my old Omron had just 2, while this unit has seven buttons.


Overall, I like the unit because it’s a useful improvement over my older devices, especially caused by the useful TruRead feature. It does supply PC connectivity and more computational features that older units too, but not everyone will find those potential useful, and they do increase the complexity of the unit.

4.0 out of five stars Omron ten Series+ (BP791IT), March 14, 2011
By Jimmy Roberts “kathyzjim” (Ogden,UT) See all my reviews
(REAL NAME) () This review is from: Omron BP791IT 10+ Series Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor, Black/white, big (Health and Beauty) This monitor isn’t matched with Microsoft Health Vault. I contacted Omron about this issue, and Omron says they don’t have a driver for MHV, and don’t expect to have it any time soon. After a lengthy discussion about Omron falsly marketing a product, stating that it’s matched with MHV, Omron simply fell to offer any info about when a driver will be published. Omron isn’t remotely worried about this discrepancy. Needless to I filed a buyer protection complaint, then a complaint through the FCC and the FTC for misrepresentation. I am sure those complaints will supply those agencies with sleeping materials. I give this product two stars, for Omron’s intentional misrepresentation.
