Upgraded Automatic Pill Dispenser for Elderly with Alarm: Smart Pill Dispenser Machine with 28-Slot, Mix-Proof Tech & XL LCD, Enhanced Durability for Daily Medicine Management

I have had no issues with this once I learned how to set the tray in properly. It has become literally a lifesaver for an elder. I have caregivers that come in and they have commented that it's the only one that they've seen that actually works. The only thing I don't like is the tab in front is not lockable, so if your elder likes to fiddle with things they will eventually figure out how to open it and get to all of their pills. The battery compartment locks there should be a lock on the front tab as well. Other than that it's a good value for the money, and the storage capacity is about 13 days of a.m. and p.m. functions like it should and easy to use for everybody

This is a replacement for one that broke and it is a very good, reasonably priced digital pill minder. The size is perfect so my mother in law can't lose it. It is very easy to program for 6 preset alarms. The only issue I have is that I was under the impression that it had a key lock for the pills themselves but it only has a latch lock for the pills, the key is for the battery compartment. The pill minder flashes brightly and the alarm is loud enough for a women without hearing aides to hear. I really love that it has a sliding door so the pills don't fall out of the minder when she picks it up. Overall it is a very good product for the price!

Dangerous! Please don't purchased this for your loved ones with dementia. Purchased this to dispense pills for my parents with dementia & after having a memory loss due to mini stroke. Difficult to program &poor directions. Paper tabs don't stay down & pills get hidden & missed underneath. I had to tape the tabs down but they don't want to stick to the plastic. Three days after the return window closed, I discovered why I kept finding random tiny pills that were not taken. To dispense the pills & reset the device the dispenser has to be tipped upside down. Small pills get lodged between the lid & dividers & end up falling back into the pill area or the one next to it. This causes the pill to get missed or put in the next days pills so a person might take 2 of the same pill by mistake. I do not recommend for anyone with a memory impairment who can still physically open things because the device doesn't lock & people with dementia can easily open & gain access to all the pills.

Im not going to give this a bad review. I bought this for my mother in law, because she has dementia. This was a perfect thought to help remind her to take her meds. However, for the elderly, it’s a bit too difficult to figure out. It’s a rather large product

Doesn’t “lock” to keep senior for accessing. Description made it seem like it has alarm (which it does) but I thought it would lock with a key so mom with memory issues couldn’t take duplicate.

I got this for my mom while she was living on her own. I noticed she would forget if she took her medication on time or even at all. Now that she lives with me, it helps me to make sure she is taking her medications as directed. It's easy to assemble, fill, and sync to my cell phone and track all her medications. The only downsides are how many notifications I get on my phone and that I can only pair one smart pill box to my phone. But for the assurance that my mom is taking her meds as prescribed, it's a small price easily paid.

The product is really nice with a lot of flexibility regarding medication timing. I use mine for a while, but found that I was not diligent enough at staying atop The Filling schedule

I luckily don’t have dementia, but this pill dispenser affords me the ability to take my medication at the same time daily.

As others have remarked it's not the easiest to set up but that is probably because we have now become used to setting up things on our smartphones which of course you can't do with this but then we don't pay to have that feature. Other than that it's an excellent dispenser and I have anywhere from humongous horse pills bracket magnesium and bracket and itty bitty heart pills and everything else in between for a total of 10 spread over twice a day and I don't lose any through the cracks as some every marked. Do I recommend it sure, would I buy another I'm not sure. The only reason I would have to buy another one is for my wife she now has blister packs and a watch to tell her to use the blister pack.

Esse aparelho é muito bom, de qualidade e melhor do que o aparelho que tínhamos anteriormente. Facilita muito a vida dos idosos, pois tem a possibilidade de colocar a medicação para vários dias, com o alarme tocando a cada horário programado. Vale cada centavo.

Ótimo

It's good but very difficult to setup and it takes many tries to get it right. The instructions are not very clear either. But once you set it up, it works well

Good concept - terrible design. There is a gap so smaller medications get mixed up inside. It’s not lockable so my dad with dementia has accidentally opened it and spilled meds everywhere, taken the wrong meds due to the gap flaw. You get what you pay for.
