Automatic Pill Dispenser with Sound Alarm for Timed Medicine Organizer - 28 Day Pill Dispenser Machine for Elderly with Alarm, Sound, Light - Timed Medication Dispenser Organizers

We’ve had issues with remembering whether we medicated our child, and once they got old enough to start taking it themselves, they have accidentally taken a morning or evening dose twice in one day. To avoid any doubts and calls to poison control, this works great.

We have not missed any meds since we started using this!This was recommended by our doctors to help remember multiple medications.The instuctions and set up were easy to follow. The clock and alarms are easy to set and the buttons are under the clear top so nothing can be changed unless the unit is unlocked and opened. The clock has a sleep mode, the display will turn off until next alarm or movement of unit to reserve battery.The alarm speaker is on the bottom but is still loud and the lights help grab your attention. The alarm and lights keep going in short intervals until the unit is tipped over to release dose. The pill door is easy to slide and access. We did have to remove the "Push" sticker on the top tab (used for opening the top of unit) as this caused confusion on how to get the pills out.The lock function works great keeping the dosage and clock buttons secure and is easy to access with the key.The unit is easy to fill. There are several different dosage wheels to select from. We get 7 days out of the 4× per day pill selection. Depending on the time we refill meds we may get 6 and a half days due to how the sorter advances. **Once it reaches the blank it WILL keep advancing. It Will count the blank as a dosage time and throw off pill timing if you have any remaining that have been missed until you reset the wheel. They alarm does shut off after 20 min or so if you are gone during the scheduled time. The unit will still advance to the next dosage at scheduled time if you miss a dose.There is a small gap between the top and dosage tray. If the unit is not locked this gap gets larger and will allow some pill migration. We keep it locked and have not had any issue with pill slippage or migration.The battery has a slide to keep it closed. This has been fine with no issues for now however, I would like to see some sort of screw here as the batteries can easily be removed turning the unit off.Overall, this is a great unit for someone taking multiple medications. It has helped maintain independence and we would definitely purchase again.

BUYER BEWARE!!!!! I do not recommend this seller. I’ve purchased 2 of these from the same seller. The units became incapable of locking within 8 months. On one - the top clear plastic lid where it is labeled PRESS to open shattered, leaving the unit unable to lock. On the last one, the silver female sleeve on the underside, where the special key gets inserted to be locked, broke into multiple pieces. This again rendered the unit incapable of locking. I tried reaching the seller - to no avail. Amazon doesn’t have a phone number nor email for the seller. Shame on Amazon for setting up this seller incorrectly. BUYER BEWARE!!!!!! Save yourself the trouble down the road and additional costs by buying from another!

The good: 1) easy to use, 2) comes with six rings so you can sort pills based on how many times a day they are taken up to six times a day, 3) the box locks and the ring rotates based on alarms you preset, 4) easy for patient to get their pills. What I don't like: 1) the plastic isn't overly sturdy. If someone was desperate & strong enough, they can get into it, 2) the key is awkward in the lock so it is sometimes difficult to lock and unlock, 3) one of the pill slots is closed in. This designates your starting point on the ring. However, when it turns, it will stop on that slot and the caregiver must unlock the box and reset the ring so it will stop at the proper slots in the future, 4) even on the "high" setting, the alarm is barely audible. However, it does light up when the alarm goes off.

Got this for elderly love it! They only have access to the pills I want them to have. The alarm is great it reminds them it is time to take them. Easy to use.

This was great for my father in law, but after maybe 3 weeks of using this device, it did not want to spin all the way. I think it was too much money for only lasting 3 weeks. I hope I could get some money back or even another device.

I love the idea of this. Only 2 things I would change one being the volume of the alarms, most elderly have hearing loss and need it to be louder. I would like the machine to make the medicine unassessable after 45 minutes post alarm, so medicine is not taken later making it close to time for next dose.

This worked great and was a game changer for my mom and me. Unfortunately, about 1.5 months after buying it (and past the return date) it stopped working consistently. It would get stuck on the end of the week red slot and I had to manually move it forward. In the meantime, my mom would miss her pills until I could get to her house. A big hassle and I don't recommend this item unless you will be in the same location so that you can fix it when stuck. I also couldn't find any customer service # to call and the warranty didn't cover a malfunction. I'm now buying a different brand after losing money on this one.
