I have had this about 4 days now and can give some feedback. I go out of town and have to talk my wife through taking the medicine when I am not there, over the phone.

Pros - Clearly flashes the pills to take. My wife has not missed her medication since I have set it up. She loves it and gives her more independence. It's compact, the set up was fairly easy.

Cons - The alarm seems weak. Last night, my wife ignored it for an hour. I didn't draw her attention to it to see if she would finally recognize it. I thought it would get louder after a while, but it seemed to get weaker. The batteries are new and purchased last week. Also, I hoped that each compartment would stay locked except the flashing one. That is not the case, although the seller responded that only the flashing one would open. I can open any of them while the compartment is flashing. The problem in the past with my wife, is that she would take two doses, not realizing she took one already. I was trying to avoid that.

Not as impressed as I thought I would be. Pill containers are rather small and somewhat difficult for the memory impaired adult to get in and out. I also thought the alarm would be better/ louder than what it is. Set up however was very easy.

This is a very handy in reminding my mom to take her meds!

Shipping was prompt and the unit worked as advertised.

I agree with the other reviewers - it's a bit challenging to setup, has its limitations, and can be bypassed by just hitting the "Next Alarm" button. BUT the alarm is (finally, after trying a cheaper alternative) loud enough to be heard in another room or over the noise of a TV, and the noise keeps getting louder until someone finally comes to turn it off. The arrangement for the individual pill boxes (especially if you're taking meds twice a day) could be confusing - it goes up on side and down the other, meaning your morning and evening doses march towards and then away from each other - BUT the flashing light makes it easy to see which dose to take. The process of taking each individual box out could also be confusing (they tilt forward and then can be pulled away), BUT it ensures they're less likely to all come spilling out if the unit is jostled. Opening each individual box is relatively easy, once you realize there is lip on the bottom (which keeps the box anchored in the unit) and one on the top - all you need to do is push the two parts away from each other and the individual box opens easily. Just be ready to catch the pills that could come spilling out if you open it sideways!
