Pill Crusher and Grinder - Crush Multiple Tablets and Vitamins to a Fine Powder - Stainless Steel Shaft with Clear Plastic Collection Cup - Folding Handle and Ceramic Burr by Kraftura

I purchased this pill grinder for Mom to take her meds, because at 94, she has difficulty swallowing pills or capsules. The grinder is very easy to operate: Open the top, place pills and/or capsule contents (discard the gel caps) in top compartment (you may want to split larger pills first), snap/twist top back on, turn the handle several times until no more powder falls to the lower compartment, twist open the bottom compartment, and pour the powdered pills/capsule contents into your preferred puréed snack/food (we use puréed fruits/veggies, yogurt, or slightly melted ice cream).The grinder pulverizes everything that you place in it, making it very easy for the meds to be mixed with food, with no lumpy pieces. This pill grinder would be an excellent solution for anyone (children, adults, elderly) wo has difficulty swallowing pills or capsules. This is a great product that does exactly what it promises and it's easy to use and clean. Highly recommended!

I recently started jtube feedings and having to do all my medications through my tube requires us to crush the pills and then mix with water. This device does suck a great job at getting it to the super fine powder it needs to be before mixing with water because if the tube gets clogged i can't use it until a doctor fixes it so it's a big deal. The grinding handle moves smoothly do everything on my weaker days im able to use it, it might take me longer and I might have a few times I need to shake it a bit to move a big piece and keep going because I can't power through it on my sicker days but im still able to use it which is more than I can say for other grinders and crushers I've tried. The bottom part comes off with a half turn and doesn't need too much pressure (for those of you with hand pain and mobility issues I would rank this medium on a difficulty level) i especially like that it all jets collected into a clear container that is completely closed in so you can see it but don't have to worry about rising powder from the grinding. My only problem if had with it is the inside of the container has ridges so it's hard to pour the powder out of the bottom container so we just us it for creating our stury as well, add the water mix it up and draw it up from there for administeringAll together this is the best pill grinder I have ever used and I would highly recommend that for anyone using a feeding tube that the put meds through

I have severe Gastroparesis, and I’m unable to drink liquids or take medications without throwing them back up. As a result of this, I have to take my medications through my GJ feeding tube. This pill grinder is my second one, and so far I’m loving it. It is very easy to use, and I love the fact the handle folds up for easier storage. I also like how each section secures on with a twist, as with my past pill grinder I lost some medications when it knocked over and the lid on it (held on with just friction) came undone and my meds spilled out. One feature I like, is how the handle can be folded up under the screw on cap, so you don’t have to take the cap off all the way.As for that cap, though, that is where I have to take off one star. I’ve had it get tightened up against the handle, and I had to use some pliers to loosen it. This won’t happen, though, if you make sure the handle is in the right position on the shaft, and not get in a hurry. That, is what happened to me the few times it did occur.Overall, this is very easy to use, and I recommend it.

It’s truly amazing. The pills are ground up to a fine fine powder that I could never achieve in the little hand held plastic grinder I had before. Besides I can grind 13 pills all at once. For larger pills like multi vitamin you do have to break them into a couple of smaller pieces first but still. It’s so much easier and effective than anything I’ve owned before. A friend suggested I get a battery operated pill crusher but i like the fact that I don’t need batteries. This was cost effective and it works amazingly well.

What I like about this pill grinder is that it works exactly as described. I don't feel like I bought junk. It is sturdy, easy to use and easy to clean. My tip is: set it on a flat surface when using. Holding it on one hand and turning the handle with another does not work as well as a flat surface. Good price point for a good item.

My pup has to take several pills a day for various reasons and the "peanut butter trick" was wearing thin :)I checked with the vet to see which pills could be crushed & which ones couldn't and bought this grinder. The biggest pill I have to get into him is a little smaller than a dime. All of the others are much smaller. The grinder worked very well, grinding them into a fine powder. The only issue I've encountered was when a pill got a little wet, or the grinder wasn't completely dry, and the grinder got gummed up. I've seen some reviews saying the grinder cannot grind big pills, which I can understand. Although I can't find it now, I thought the directions said it was adjustable.

The media could not be loaded. This product is great for breaking a big pull into smaller pieces but it is not good for creating fine like flour crushing. That part was disappointing. I needed something to aid in crushing the pills into a flour like status so it would be easier for a feeding tube. However, I am having to take it and pour it into another pill crusher to get it fine for the feeding tube. I will keep it and it works for those who do not need the pill crushed fine but for me I need the pill to be fine and less stress on my hands.
