Home Blood Pressure Monitors

Does anybody here use one?
I'm maybe looking to get myself one. Not for any particular reason - my reading was fine the last time I went to the doctor but I am just curious.
Any recommendations? Would prefer cheap.

I've had a Boots machine since 2015, made by Omron Healthcare (UK) Ltd. Seems to be OK. Has been in frequent use in the past six months as I've recovered from a heart attack in July last year.

EDIT: Additional to Welshman's post below mine cost £34.99 in 2015.

I use a Boots monitor, powered by 4 AA batteries.
It comes complete with a standard sleeve, although, depending on your size, you may need a larger one.
Its very reliable and easy to use with a clear display.
I think it cost in the region of £40 when I first bought it.

Another thumbs up for the Boots one, I had to use one for a while about 5 or 6 years ago. As said pretty foolproof and about £35 at the time.

Many thanks for the replies.

I also have the Boots one, generally works well but sometimes if you don't fit the sleeve properly gives you silly results. Batteries last a VERY long time.
