If you are alone, you can use it on yourself without outside help, no particular difficulty.
It puts the cuff and positioned properly, you press the "on" and wait for the end of the measurement cycle (about 20 sec), and the significant values are displayed.
The memory system also works very well, you have access to previous measurements and the average of the last measurements.
Note that a nylon carrying case is provided for storage and transportation, what more!
