BP Cuff/Sphyg - Your fave brand?

[AtomicWoman]

What model BP cuff/sphyg have any of you liked? I bought the school bookstore recommended one and I hate it. The screw doesn't turn smoothly at all, and when I try to make the pressure come down, it jumps down instead of the nice, steady 2-3 mm per second. That's what I get for buying something called an "Econosphyg". I'm a BP idiot as it is (clumsy, get confused too easily), and this cuff is making it worse. I know I'll get better over time, but I'd like to have a cuff that make things a *little* easier.

P.S. It's the kind that has the gauge attached to it, not the kind they use in the doctor's office that attaches to the wall sphygmomanometer.

I worked as an EMT for 4 years in a previous life and found that there isn't significant variation in the readings between 'expensive' and 'uber cheap' brands.
