Customer Reviews of Ezy Dose Airtight Vita-fresh Medication Container
Customer Review: works great air tight
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this for my morning vitamins. I like the different compartments, I can put hundreds of vitamins in and I don't have to keep opening the separate bottles up. Easy to useCustomer Review: Perfect!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a tightwad, so initially not happy with price - but now I am happy. This is a champ. Used for several months - good tight seal, but easy to open. Good design.Customer Review: Disappointingly huge with a fatal flaw
Summary: 3 Stars
The container is well constructed and the seal formed when closed is nice, but it takes a bit of work to get it undone, and pills kept sloshing from one compartment to the next when the lid finally popped off. If you get used to opening it that may not happen, but it's a big problem if you don't pay attention each time. To be clear in response to comments, what I mean is that the container is tough to open, it's not like raising a lid. You have to unsnap a latch and then pry up the lid, and the force required to do so can jostle the container. With the lid in the process of being open, there is nothing to stop pills from shifting from one compartment to another when the container is jostled. Depending on the particular medications at issue, this could literally be a fatal flaw.
I was looking for a travel container for medicine when I travel for work, and thought that this would be a winner. However, it is absolutely enormous! I converted it to use for a fishing tackle box when I received it. The compartments are giant, almost enough to hold a full pill bottle. The best use of this item would be as a medicine cabinet replacement; it is that big. I can't stress enough, if you ever want to take this anywhere, DO NOT get it. This should have screw holes so you can mount it on a cabinet. That would help with the potentially more troublesome issue of pill movement as well by preventing the box from moving; simply holding it down isn't enough.
Conclusion: if you need a heavy duty, non-portable medication container, look no further. If you want something to travel with or to store pills that you don't want mixing together, then look elsewhere.
Edited in response to a comment to clarify that the basis for three stars is the fact that opening the container can cause mixing of pills.
Customer Review: Half way there
Summary: 2 Stars
1. The construction is solid, the compartments are very large, and the clasps work well. However, upon further research into the preservation of vitamins and medications, I've learned that light does as much damage to pills as exposure to air. Thus, a "Vita-fresh" container should ideally be opaque so that light does not enter the pill case. You have to open the lid to the entire container at once, so you'll always be able to see every pill, which means that having the case be clear isn't necessary. If the case were opaque, it would be perfect.
2. I do not recommend buying from The Insulin Case Shop.
