IT WORKS5
Here in Maine, we have many gloomy days. We need this to help with the blues. We set it on the table while reading the paper, At night we use it again for about 30 minutes. It has two settings, High and low. The legs are sturdy enough. Long cord, which helps. I must say this light works well. Excellent Warranty. On and off switch could use a label for high low and off, Good reviews by others was important for us in choosing this light. We are very happy.

Great Light5
Great product! My wife uses it almost daily and she and I agree that it has made a positive difference in her personality and general outlook on life up here in New York State. I'm usually out sometime during the day and receive some light and don't need it nearly as often. Another nice feature, is the ability to set it up any where. I would recommend this to anyone has a limited amt. of time to get sunlight. This light really works.

Works Well4
Sof, so good. works well. Helps with the blues and circadian rhythm also. very pleased

Customer Reviews

Fabulous Product5
This chair is very light and easy to lift in and out of my car. As you can see it does not have big round wheels for the person sitting in it to use, it is for the caregiver. It is sturdy yet light weight. I received this chair within two business days of placing my order. I am extremely pleased with this product and highly recommend it.

Just what we needed5
We had trouble handling the bulky, heavy wheelchair; this is just what we needed - a super lighweight transport chair for my Mother-in-Law in order to take her places, Dr appts, restaurants, etc. Passenger loves it and drivers are happy too. Received only one day after estimated delivery date - probably because of ice/snow storm back east. After much research, price was right too.

Lightweight Transport Chair is beautiful!!5
We received the 14.5 lb. Transport Chair today.. opened up the box, and couldn't believe how nice it was. The transport chair was already put together, almost didn't need to read the instructions. Got it for Mom, who has a back problem..Now we can take her to doctor appts., and shopping, with no problem..Will keep BD Medical in mind for our future purchases!!!Thanks sooo much..Linda from Torrance, Ca

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Product Description
Not only does the HEM-711DLX Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor utilize Omron's patented IntelliSense technology, but it also features the innovative Comfit Cuff. The ComFit Cuff is pre-formed for a quick and proper fit that is perfect for both medium and large-sized arms (nine to 17 inches). It's easy to apply the cuff to your arm without any assistance -- simply wrap the cuff around your arm and press start. In seconds your blood pressure and pulse are displayed on the large digital panel. Proven time and time again, Omron's IntelliSense technology ensures accurate, clinically-proven, and comfortable readings. And with a 60-memory recall with date and time stamp, you can track your blood pressure and pulse progress as your work towards a healthier lifestyle.


The Omron HEM-711DLX delivers accurate, clinically-proven blood pressure readings in the comfort of your own home.


To take an accurate reading, first position the green marker directly over the artery on the inside of your arm.


Next, place your arm on a table so the cuff is positioned at the same level as your heart.
Instructions for Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitors
There are several easy steps to taking your blood pressure with this monitor. First of all, avoid eating, smoking, and exercising for at least 30 minutes before taking a measurement. Remove tight-fitting clothing from your upper arm, and sit in a chair with your feet flat on the floor. Slide your left arm through the cuff and position the cuff approximately 0.5-inches above the elbow. On the cuff you'll notice a green marker; position this marker directly over the artery on the inside of your arm. Next, secure the cuff with the Velcro material. The cuff should make direct contact with your skin, but you should be able to easily fit your index finger between the cuff and your arm.

Place your arm on a table so that the cuff is positioned at the same level as your heart. Rest comfortably in a relaxed environment for at least 15 minutes prior to taking your blood pressure measurement. Once you feel relaxed, simply press the start button and remain still. The cuff will begin to inflate and numbers will appear on the display as the heart symbol flashes. When the measurement is complete, the cuff will deflate, and your blood pressure and pulse rate will display on the screen. If you need to stop the measurement at any time, simply press the on/off button and the monitor will immediately deflate. And remember, always consult your physician for specific information about your blood pressure.

What is IntelliSense?
The IntelliSense monitor inflates the cuff to the ideal level with each use -- you never have to make any adjustments to select an inflation level. This is especially convenient for hypertensive users and for people with certain arrhythmia or heart disorders because their blood pressure is so likely to fluctuate. The biggest advantage of using the IntelliSense technology is a personalized inflation every time for maximum comfort.

The Importance of Home Blood Pressure Monitoring
Doctors, diabetes educators, physician assistants, nurses, and other healthcare professionals all recommend home blood pressure monitoring for various reasons. Home monitoring provides your healthcare professionals with better information to understand and manage your high blood pressure. Many types of hypertension can only be detected by monitoring your blood pressure at home, including:

  • White-Coat Hypertension: blood pressure reading is high in your doctor's office but lower at home
  • Masked Hypertension: blood pressure reading is low in doctor's office but higher at home
  • Morning Hypertension: blood pressure reading is higher in the morning
Additionally, many factors can affect your blood pressure, including physical exertion, emotional fluctuations, medications, and stress. So having your blood pressure monitored at a pharmacy with an in-store device after you've been shopping or walking around might not provide you with the most accurate measurement. Monitoring your blood pressure at home allows you achieve a relaxed state more easily, and it gives you the flexibility to take your measurements at various times during the day. By keeping track of your home blood pressure readings, you can provide your healthcare professional with a log of your measurements over time. This can help them evaluate the effectiveness or need for medication.

Customer Reviews

Pain!1
I've been grappling with home blood pressure monitors for some time, with ongoing problems: the cuff doesn't fit properly, the readings are inaccurate, etc. I had high hopes for this one, but in fact the cuff is extremely difficult to position properly and is so rigid that it is too painful to use when inflated. I've given it a good try, but I'm returning it without having managed a single accurate reading -- usually I've had to stop it because it's too painful to tolerate.

how big is your arm1
this monitor is easy to put together and to use but the cuff is too tight on a woman, let alone on a man. its so tight it pinches. Results did not track with adjustable cuff. we are returning it.

Works Great5
I have it a month now and have no problems with it. The cuff is big and works on XL people, and is easy to apply yourself. The memory mode records past checks,good feature.

Customer Reviews

I like the wedge.4
I like this wedge. It elevates my head correctly for sleeping. If you turn it, it also works well for watching TV. For TV watching, I use another pillow in front of the wedge to make it softer. The quality is good and I like the removable cover.

Good Bed Wedge4
This is a very good bed wedge with fast delivery. However, it says it's coming with a white pillow cover and it came with a blue one.

Poor durability2
I purchased this product to help with lower back pain. The wedge did smell a bit on the chemical side at first, although I was able to tolerate the odor until it dissipated (something like a week). Most importantly, it helped tremendously with my back. Unfortunately, this lasted only a couple of months, and now the wedge seems to offer little support (the 7" vertical height in the back is now naturally compressed to something like 2"). I'm a bit ambivalent about the purchase. Yes, the sleep is worth the money, but I would imagine you could make a more durable pillow.
