Omron: I've always been a fan of omron. Their machines seem to hold calibration well, are fairly accurate, and several models can even take a correct blood pressure with an irregular pulse (a big issue for most machines). Apparently i'm not alone... http://www.consumersearch.com/blood-pressure-monitors.
