SATISFIED MED-E-LERT CUSTOMERS

This gadget has been a godsend! I help someone who has to take quite a few vital medications, in a complicated, four-times-a-day regimen. Even with the basic, non-mechanized pill organizers, it was a nightmare trying to help her remember her pill times and getting her to take the right pills at the right time without getting mixed up and either missing a dosage or taking them to close together and thus dangerously doubling dosages.

I know I sound like a TV pitchman when I say that I was skeptical about this device at first, because there are competing pill dispensers at four, five and even ten times the price of this that seem to do pretty much the same thing. I figured there must be some catch, or trade-off or some vital feature that this less expensive device didn't have. But I bought one and lo and behold, for non-commercial, private home application, it works great! I load it up once a week and I'm done!

The set-up instructions could be clearer, but I followed them carefully and got it done in about 15 minutes or less, and there will be no reason to have to re-set it unless the doctor changes the regimen times, which is not likely. That it is battery powered is also good. The electricity shut off during a couple of storms recently but this dispenser went right ahead and did what was needed, alerting and dispensing, one less thing, a very important thing, that I don't have to worry about with the lights off.

I can't tell you how much this humble device has made life easier, less frustrating--and SAFER--for myself and my friend. It does exactly what the say it does. I love it and highly recommend it.

(My gosh, I sure DO sound like some wild-eyed TV pitchman, but I guess it is that good ol' fashioned enthusiasm for this product that compelled me to bother to write this review, knowing that if it helps others like it helped me, the world will be a happier place, Classic win-win.) - David Ciaffardini


My mother has early stage Alheizmers disease, and this automatic pill dispenser has solved a very critical problem. She would fall asleep and wake up several times during the day, and each she would think it was a new day, and take the next medications from her pill boxes. this product has solved that problem, and has actually helped he overcome a great deal of confusion. My only complaint is that the initial set-up is difficult at best, and the instructions are not intuitively easy - Snyder


I purchased this for my mom with short term memory loss who often could not remember if she took her pills. She lives alone and it was very worisome for me. This pill dispenser is very sophisticated with lots of options which makes it complicated to set up. No way an elderly person could do it themselves in my opinion. Bur after set it up it totally resolved our problem! there is no way she can take pills twice which is the most dangerous situation plus I can tell if she skips a dose (she hasn't). Any alarms set up shut off as soon as you tip the pills out. Anyway, we love it and it is well worth the cost in peace of mind. My only caution is that each pill section is not very big. In my mom's case her pill are noy so large so there is plenty of room, but if taking large pills like vitamins and antibiotics there could be an issue getting them all in. I suppose you could use two sections and have them open at different times of the day to resolve the problem. Anyway, now that we have this we could not live without it. - Linda M
