TabTime Automatic Pill Dispenser - 6 Daily Alarms, Clear Locking Lid

Excellent product. Bought this for a family member with dementia. The clear lid means that they can keep track of their meds as they can easily see that they have taken the tablets from the Monday morning slot, and that the next tablets will be Monday evening etc. They find this very reassuring. It was very easy to set up as it comes with about 6 different rings to insert depending on how many doses are needed each day. Easy to insert the tablets and lock the dispenser.The alarm is loud enough to alert them even when they’re in another room. The 6 morning tablets, including 2 large capsules dispense properly and don’t get stuck. Really great service when we contacted the company with a question. We’ve also bought the Tipper and a spare key. This has really taken the stress out of dealing with medication.

Absolutely brilliant. I purchased this for my Mum to ensure she was getting her medication. Firstly you dont have to have alarm on. You can just have a red light flash to tell you its pill time. Mum hates loud noises so the option to have no alarm is what she loves. You can change the volume on the alarm but even the quietest would be too loud for her and have it "out of window " instead she loves it and I know she's actually getting her tablets. I gave her a plastic beaker to tip them into as she was worried about dropping them when she tips the tablets out. You can buy a tipper unit for £60 but a plastic beaker is easier less of a faff and cheaper and wont break .Mum finds it very easy . The hardest bit was working out how to set it up. But once you've done it once its easy and there is a video to help you as well as good instructions. I wish I knew about automatic pill dispenser years ago. It is so easy and the unit is locked with a key so the settings can't be accidentally change and you cant get more than the designated dose out. I had the clear lid so I know how many days before I need to refill the tablets instantly.

Got this for my elderly aunt who has Parkinson's disease and lives alone. She is on a complex medication routine and it was very difficult to keep track of it using an ordinary daily pill organiser. She would often forget to take pills or take the wrong ones at the wrong time of day and the family were having to check it several times a day. When the Coronavirus pandemic hit Ireland, we were so worried about my Auntie who now had to cocoon meaning only her daughter could have limited visits and nobody else in the family could come into her house. This little gadget has saved the day. She liked it from the start, it does exactly what it's supposed to and sounds an alarm when it's time for her to take her pills. The gap in wheel turns to the compartment with only the right pills for that time of day so it is impossible for her to make a mistake. The alarm goes off for 30 minutes and will only stop when she tips the unit over to take out the pills. It has given my auntie back a little bit of independence and she doesn't feel that we are always checking up on her any more. Its is relatively easy to set up, I watched a YouTube video instead of reading the instructions. The only criticism I would have is that it runs on batteries and cannot be connected to mains. There doesn't seem to be a low battery indicator so we would worry about the batteries running out. We'd feel much more confident if it could also be connected to the mains. Hopefully the manufacturers of this will eventually sync this with an app so that the family watch the status of the pill taking and intervene if necessary, I know this would add to the cost, but a gadget like this is priceless when it comes to the well being of your loved one. I am giving it 5 stars and not taking away any for the batteries as I think it is a much needed product and I am so grateful for it.

My elderly mum was starting to get her tablets muddled. We had tried those dispensers with the individual boxes, but mum couldn't remember if she had taken her tablets or not, so would either not take them, or take too many. Chemist tried sending her tablets in pre-dispensed blister packs, but mum still couldn't remember if she had taken them or not. So we decided to go with the expense and buy this electronic pill dispenser. Wow! What a difference! Mum calls it her 'spaceship' and waits excitedly for it to beep at her! Loves it. This dispenser has a clear lid, so you can see the tablets or empty chambers inside. Good to know when to refill it. The lid is lockable (only has one key), so cannot be broken into to get at tablets. First you will need to insert some batteries, which has a screw to keep the cover in place. You unlock the lid, lift it up, and set the clock to the correct time. There are 6 circular discs: daily = Mon to Sun(28 days), twice daily, three times a day= morning noon night, 4 times a day, etc,etc. Choose the disc you require and attach it in the tray. You can set the electronic alarm to go off up to 6 times a day, for all the different times when you need to take tablets. Fill the chambers with the relevant tablets, close the lid and lock it. I personally have taken the key home with me! There are 3 alarm sounds, although they are not very loud. You can select which sound you want. Then at the allotted time, the alarm goes off, and the tray moves around so that the chamber with the tablets in is now under the hole in the lid. You literally turn the whole spaceship over/upside-down and the tablets fall out. The first time, mum shook it, poked it, tried to press the buttons (they are under the lid) and eventually turned it upside-down and the tablets fell out into her apron pocket! She now knows to turn it upside-down onto the table. By turning it upside-down it is the only way to shut the alarm off! For mum who has just started to forget some things, it is perfect. If the chamber under the hole is empty: she has taken the tablets. She cannot access the next chamber to take too many. For those who have to remember to take tablets at different times of the day, it is really helpful. The only downside is the price. It is very expensive for what it does, but in mums case it is worth every penny.

I bought this for my own use, I am useless remembering to take my medication, or I forget that I have taken it and double dose. It is brilliant bit of kit, when it is time to take a dose, it buzzes, beeps and flashes and is so annoying you really cannot ignore it 😁 The thing I really like is that when you pick it up to dispense the medication, it will only let you have the current dose. There is a key, just I'm case you want to limit access to all the meds at once. When you first open the box, don't panic. There is a whole selection of labels, and the first impression is that it is complicated, but it really isn't. And once it is set up, the peace of mind is wonderful. So a few weeks in now, and I am still really impressed. I have gone from 4 doses per day to two doses per day 😁 yay 😁 👍 A few button pushes, and a swap of the printed ring to show just AM/PM and I now have double the time between refills. Most importantly, I no longer have to remember the change in doses; once it is reprogrammed I just wait to be told what, and when I need to take it. 👍

This has been a game changer for us. It has really worked to make sure my elderly mother takes her tablets. She has vascular dementia and wasn't remembering to take them until we got this. The alarm sounds (wherever she has put the thing she hears it). She tips it up, tablet drops out, alarm stops. She can't take too many because all compartments are sealed. Easy instructions to follow for family members to set it up and refill. Yes it's expensive but worth it to enable peace of mind.

Yes, it is expensive, but it is very good. I had one of the plastic boxes with daily sections beside my mum's bed and she swore she took her tabs every night before bed, but 'somehow' there were often doses left behind in the box. She has dementia and since getting this she hasn't missed taking her meds. It sits beside her chair and goes off at 9pm, so she is awake when it buzzes. It stays buzzing for half an hour if it isn't picked up, so even if she is in another room it will stay buzzing for a while. It took her a couple of weeks to get used to it, I was there the first few nights, but when I left she stuck her finger into the slot to get the tabs rather than tip them out, so it kept buzzing. Another time she didn't wait for the buzz, worried that the slot was empty and tried to get in with a knife :-/ I stuck a label on it saying 'tip me up' and took to phoning her 5 mins before to remind her what to do, then 5 mins after to check it was off and it seems to be going ok and it is becoming a habit to take the tablets. I like that I can put several different alarms on for different tables and various times of day if she eventually needs more tablets. It is also good that I can load it up and see well in advance when I need to order more tablets. PS The lid is clear, so I can see when to reload it easily, but my mum sometimes found it difficult to see the open slot to tip her tablets from, and they ended up on the floor a couple of times. I solved this by painting bright nail varnish around the open segment bit of the lid so she can see it easily :-) UPDATE 13 months after purchase. Disappointed that it broke, the mechanism fell out and the carousel won't turn. It was great while it lasted. Even though it was expensive and only lasted 13 months it worked out about 20p per pill prompt, and that's cheaper than hiring a carer to pop in or driving to mum's every single evening, so I'll buy another one.

Bought this to help my mother take her daily medication as she suffers with Dementia. It was good in that it saved my mother mixing up her daily pills from using manual pill boxes. It was fairly easy to set up and comes with different changeable pill day templates. However, there were a few issues. I found my mum was able to pry apart the lid and remove more pills so had to tape down the sides. Also was able to balance the round pill box up on its end meaning the alarm would sound and the pills would not be released until the pill box was layed down correctly. Overall, fairly satisfied.

Fungerar bra men saknar svenska på dagarna dock står det vilka språk som fins och svenska är inte ett av dom. Går att låsa me. Batterierna kan ma. Plocka ut och så slutar den larma. Så den som inte riktigt kommer ihåg hur den fungerar tar ur batteriet och slutar få medicin

Excellent take the worry out of taking tablets

Très satisfaite

+ zaskakująco pojemne przegródki + timer + dostęp do jednej dawki, pozostałe tabletki są zablokowane + po ustawieniu tabletek i zaprogramowaniu urządzenie jest łatwe w użyciu dla osoby z trudnościami, nie muszisz się martwić że weźmie wszystkie leki na raz - tylko jeden kluczyk więc musisz uważać żeby go nie zgubić

Grazie a questo dispenser abbiamo trovato la soluzione perfetta per le medicine di mio papà, che, essendo anziano, spesso dimentica di prendere le pillole o di averle già prese. Ottimo per lui il segnale luminoso che si accende puntuale all'ora stabilita: infatti, poiché é molto sordo, spesso non sente il segnale acustico, sebbene questo sia a volume DECISAMENTE alto. Soprattutto molto utile il fatto che non possa aprire il dispenser: chiudendolo con la chiavetta gliene impediamo l'accesso, cosicché non combini pasticci con le pillole. Facile anche la programmazione del dispenser (che lui tuttavia non sarebbe stato in grado di effettuare). In definitiva un'ottima soluzione per la quotidiana somministrazione delle pillole: ora siamo tranquilli che papà le prenderà regolarmente.
