1 M2 basic
A country: China
Average price: 1 790 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.9
The leader of the rating was Omron M2 basic, which perfectly performs 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 requests of the Yandex search system. This model is not crammed with modern technology, but it measures pressure quickly and accurately. The cuff is easily and gently worn on the arm due to its asymmetrical shape. On it is a black dot, which will not allow to mistakenly place the device. The display is large, the numbers are large, even the 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. In general, it is the best among the budget options. The only thing to remember is that the accuracy of the measurements depends on the location of the cuff and movement. If you sit straight and do not talk, the tonometer will show the correct result. However, unlike other positions in the ranking, this one does not have a complete handbag for storage. Judging by the user reviews, the cuff and hose are confused, which causes inconvenience.
