Hello and welcome to the forum! I use an Omron M3. They come with a 3 year warranty. Whichever one you get go for one that uses an upper arm cuff. The wrist type can be inaccurate particu!ary in over forties.

I use a Beurer. My doctor said it's more than enough for home use.

I'd send a picture, but I don't know how to attach it on here.

I agree with Michael, I have a Omron M3 Comfort. Works very well and is very accurate.

My GP recommended Omron, which one you get is down to price and if you want to track it on an app on a smartphone. I went for the M4 intelli IT, upper arm cuff. Can track 2 individuals. Only had a few days but seems easy to use.
