The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other home health monitors: bathroom scales, blood pressure monitors, pregnancy and ovulation tests, thermometers, body composition monitors, stethoscopes, glucose monitors and pulse oximeters we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.

For that price you get an LCD display and battery power in a compact unit that weighs roughly 0.62 pounds, so it is easy to store in a drawer or carry between rooms.', 'Beurer is a well known name in home health devices, and the BM81 has built up a large number of reviews over time. The listing does not publish detailed accuracy or measurement specifics, so treat the readings as a way to track your own numbers over time rather than as a clinical measurement. Talk with a healthcare professional if you have questions about your readings.']
