Customer Review: I should have flushed my money down the toilet...
Summary: 1 Stars
it would have had the same net effect with less bother. If I could give this a below-zero rating, I would.
It looks nice & efficient in the package, but it's ridiculously complicated to use. It's sad that any non-electronic pill-minder should require directions for using it at all; but this one does. And what is provided is in such small print & so poorly illustrated & explained as to be maddening to try to read and follow.
Ironically, the child-proof locking mechanism is the easiest part of the contraption to manage.
The locking button that holds the lids in place is difficult to push in at first; after a few tries, it easily falls out altogether. The sliding lids for each day's pills don't quite fit properly, making the lids just difficult enough to slide to be irritating.
The pill compartments are somewhat smaller than they appear before they're opened. A single large caplet or softgel may not fit at all, or be difficult to remove.
Once you get the compartment open, it is necessary to turn the whole thing upside down to remove the pills. If the sliding lids worked well enough to make the device reasonable to open, one would risk sliding it all the way out & dumping multiple doses while turning the box upside down trying to get one dose out.
The inner tray is supposed to be removable to make it easier to fill each week. I couldn't get the inner tray to come out at all. (That also made it impossible to get at the card one fills out to document which medicines are taken at what times.) Thinking I might be overlooking something, I asked 2 other intelligent adults to read the instructions & try; & neither of them could slide it out either. Based on the edge of the tray I was able to observe & feel during multiple attempts, it is made of a thin plastic comparable to the type that is commonly used in packaging, & easily crushable.
In my opinion, if the workmanship was of a much higher quality, this might be usable by an adult with small fingers & good manual dexterity. It's absolutely impossible for someone with poor dexterity, & in any case would try the patience of Job.
