Customers say
Customers find the pill dispenser easy to set up and use, and appreciate its effectiveness as a medication reminder. The time retention and alarm volume receive mixed feedback – while some say it keeps good time and the alarm is loud enough, others report it doesn’t keep time and can’t hear it well. The vibration level also gets mixed reviews, with some finding the vibration strong while others say it’s not enough to wake them. The product’s durability is concerning, with several customers reporting it breaks after one month of use.

Pill Reminder
I got this for my mom quite a while ago because it promised to be easy. My mom does not like anything that you really have to “figure out” so I was a little leary about sending it to her without me figuring it out first and then sending it to her (I live in Seattle and she lives in St. Joseph, Missouri). But I was pleasantly surprised that when she received it, she figured it out herself. This has been so nice for her to have, she had been having a lot of trouble remembering to take her afternoon and evening pills but now, with this vibrating pill box, she has hardly missed a dosage. I gave it five stars because it was easy for her to set up by herself, it’s been constant and has had no problems. It also takes a lot of worry off my shoulders that she has not been taking the medicine the way she should, so I know if she has this with her that she will take it 98% of the time. Of course she takes so many pills that they would not fit in the pill compartment but she just keeps her big pill dispenser with it all the times. It’s great to have, especially for the senior in your life that might be having some memory problems OR even the extremely busy person that needs to take an afternoon or evening pill and keeps forgetting – I plan to order one for myself just for that reason.

Current batch defective
This is the 2nd of these I’ve ordered within the last month. Of the 4 pill holders, 2 of them will not stay shut – there is a manufacturing defect. Hopefully the supplier will read this – I have no other way to let them know except by the notes I attach when I return the item. The unit otherwise is fine – timers work well. It is a little big. I ordered the same item over a year ago – it crapped out within 9 months. I’ll continue ordering until either I get one that’s not defective, or I find a better quality/size of pill box elsewhere.

Perfect for me
I had my old timer for 5 years, the kind you set for how many minutes or hours between pill times. It finally fell apart, but I kept using it until I accidentally glued the stop button down. It did service me well, but one thing I didn’t like was it beeped at 10 minutes before time, then again at 5 minutes before time. I found this extremely annoying. So I’m glad the thing is gone.I love this pill box for many different reasons. I set the clock on 24 hr (military time) so I can set my pill times at 10:30, 1300, 1530, and 1800. Then that’s done and it repeats the next day. The beeper is loud enough for me and goes off at the set time – once. No more pre-warnings. I don’t use the vibration, as I usually jump out of my skin when something vibrates in my pocket, including my phone. I also like the separate pill compartments, but I took paint and marked over the numbers to make them easier to see.I can see where this box wouldn’t work for somebody needing to take a lot, or extra large pills because the compartments are small. But I imagine in most cases the compartments are a good size. For me, with a five times a day pain pill, it works perfectly. I have no complaints and will definitely buy another one when this one wears out.

Ideal for travel in pocket or purse, or anywhere at home
The batteries that came with this pill box were dead, so bought a new AAA battery (used for the alarm) and three button cell batteries (used for the clock). Everything worked fine until I decided to pour a tiny bit of water into each pill compartment and some trickled down the side and got inside the box. It went dead after that, so I removed all batteries and let it air dry for a couple of hours (after I waved it in the air to shake out any excess water that would let go). I reinserted all the batteries and on the first try, I saw a split-second flash of light. I removed the batteries, reinserted them, and this time, it came on, but no alarm or vibration. So again, I removed the batteries, reinserted and it came on. The first two alarms would work, but not #’s 3 & 4. I gave it more time to dry out (or wake up) and by bedtime, it was working perfectly. I’m on the second day of use and so far, so good. Clock works and keeps good time, and alarms have sounded at the times I set. My advice is not to wash the compartments without taking the pack apart, but snap it off at the indicated area and wash it under running water. If you have a pet in the house or someone unsuspecting, it would be good to place this item on something soft to absorb sound. I had mine on my kitchen counter and when the vibration came on, I had no idea what was happening in the kitchen, and my dog almost had a heart attack. The alarm is rather loud, and the vibration is strong. The way I see it, if the item doesn’t last more than two or three months, I got my money’s worth at the current price and I will just buy another one. Depending on the kind of batteries you buy, it should last at least a year if they are of good quality. It should work great for when I’m focused on paperwork and etc., and also on flights or any other method of travel. Taking my medicines on time is a high priority, and I do not need the side effects I get when I miss a dose. This e-pill dispenser should be ideal in helping me keep things on schedule so my days and nights will go well. I’m ordering another one for a spare.Update: I’ve had this e-pill alarm for over a month now and it still works great. The water that got inside didn’t seem to hurt it any at all. Glad I made the purchase!

Easy to use not an annoying sound but loud enough.

I have bought the product over 10 years and like what it does. Unfortunately it’s life span seems to be about 2 years. I am on my 5th pillometer. The inconvenience and cost are disturbing. I cannot find a product to match it .But I need reliability.Sincerely,Bill McKay
