+PROS-CONS - LD521A Blood Pressure Monitor Review

Today in the "Pros/Cons" section, we spent the day with the LD-521A blood pressure monitor. This blood pressure monitor is one of the latest models released by the manufacturer in 2021. The goal of the manufacturer "Little Doctor" is to create and provide consumers with reliable and simple devices at an affordable price. The LD-521A blood pressure monitor is a great example of the manufacturer's strategy - it is a compact and clinically proven device with basic functions (measurement memory, arrhythmia indicator), good equipment at a great price.

Why is this meter worth choosing?

This device immediately surprises with its lightness, without batteries it does not feel much weight. From this alone we can understand that it is quite simple. This is the first thing we noticed as soon as we unpacked this monitor. After spending a day with this blood pressure monitor and testing it, we discovered more advantages of this device:

• The first big plus is the size of the meter. It is small and compact. It fits perfectly in your hand and does not take up much space. You can take it with you even when leaving the house. It will easily fit in a handbag or backpack.
  
• Opening the packaging, we find a fabric bag that perfectly fits the blood pressure monitor, cuff, and adapter for an electrical outlet. The cuff is a universal, enlarged one, suitable for an upper arm with a circumference of 22-42 cm. Budget-level devices are usually equipped with a smaller cuff, so we were pleasantly surprised. The adapter for connecting to the mains also did not leave us indifferent. Surprisingly, its plug is USB type, so you can use the device not only from a standard 220V mains (outlet), but also from a computer, phone, or other device with a USB power outlet. If you lose the adapter, your smartphone charger will work perfectly! The manufacturer's decision to install a USB power outlet in the blood pressure monitor was a real pleasant surprise, we have never seen such a solution.
• The LD-521 Blood Pressure Monitor also has one feature that more expensive monitors have - memory. But don't be afraid - it is controlled by pressing a single button. We often hear from you that you don't need many complex functions, so we can assure you that with this device you won't have to look for what each button does.
  

The negative side of the device.

Well, now we can take a look at the cons:

- The icons are more difficult to understand. As soon as we turned on the device, we saw the MA symbol and squares, but after studying the instructions a little, everything became clear.

- In our opinion, it is important to mention the minus - the warranty period is 3 years, which may be unacceptable for some customers.

However, would this device be right for you?

Summary: After spending a day with this device, the opinion was formed quite easily. It does not have many functions, it does not show whether the cuff is applied correctly, it cannot be connected to a computer, but it works perfectly - it measures blood pressure and warns about rhythm disturbances (arrhythmia), and the price is less than 35 Euros. This is a really great choice in terms of price and quality. The device is perfect for those who want to save money and are looking for the simplest and most reliable blood pressure monitor.
