e-pill Medication Reminders 4 Alarm Pill Box Organizer with Vibration

Easy to use not an annoying sound but loud enough.

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.

Second time around on purchasing this item. Tried others but this is the one that works the best. First one lasted over 5 years!!!

This is a great device to remind you to take medication. I have to take meds 3 times a day, at the exact time each day. The four alarms are easy to set. Each one can be set to beep, to vibrate, to both beep and vibrate or do nothing. It is loud enough to wake me up if its on my night table. The vibration can be felt in your pocket and it is loud enough for me to hear from the next room. It is easy to carry in your pocket and the compartments in the back hold your medication. It's a great device and it really does the job.

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!
