As someone who's tried multiple BP monitors, the AQESO with its 3-size cuff system finally solved our household's 'one-size-fits-none' struggle. The XL cuff fits my husband's muscular arms perfectly without that awkward extra fabric bunching I've seen with other monitors.

What surprised me most was the dual power option. I keep it plugged in via USB-C at home (no more frantic battery changes during midnight readings!), but when we traveled last month, popping in AAA batteries was a lifesaver. The backlit display is so clear that even my mom could check her numbers without her reading glasses.

After comparing readings at my doctor's office (yes, I brought it in like a nerdy health enthusiast), I can confirm its accuracy - as long as you follow directions. Pro tip: wear short sleeves and stay still! The memory function stores 99 readings per user - watching our weekly trends on the large screen has made managing my hypertension way less stressful.

The only con? After daily use for 4 months, I noticed the motor sounds slightly different during inflation. Still works perfectly, but I'm keeping an eye on it. For families with varying arm sizes who want clinic-level accuracy at home, this is worth every penny.
