Great size and very portable! September 7, 2008
2 out of 2 found this comment useful.
I appreciate the size of each container. Each side is able to hold 2 large calcium supplement tablets along with other tablets. The overall small size of the container makes it very portable. I just throw a "day of the week" in my brief case and take off in the morning. It if is a weekend day, then I will just slip the "Saturday" or "Sunday" case into my pocket, and take off for the day. The only criticism I have is one voiced by others---the individual cases don't lie flat when I am filling them. It isn't much of a hassle, but the design seems like it isn't yet perfected. The cost is right, and the value for the price is great. I have recommended this product to friends who take large sized supplement tablets.
 Does its job well July 28, 2008
The containers close securely and the color coding is a nice touch. The little rack makes it easy to line a week up on the dresser -- toss in your purse and your vitamins are good to go.
Served its purpose wonderfully. July 19, 2008

This is a wonderful alternative to lugging around all the pills I take. Recently, I have been forgetting weather or not I took my morning meds, leading me to double-dose sometimes which - needless to say - was bad. I wanted an alternative to the large box I carry with me everywhere I go, but less clunky then a pill organizer. This was absolutely perfect.
The plastic of the pill boxes is quite sturdy but - as I realize it is just *plastic* - I make sure not to put the pods into a situation where they may be crushed easily (like a large purse alongside heavy objects). I have read reviews about the pods breaking, which makes me wonder if those who received the fragile pods had either heat damaged or poorly-molded pods. These seem quite sturdy. The only thing that worries me a little is the plastic tab that holds the lids on each container. Each compartment (separated by a plastic divider) is about 1 1/4" wide by 1 1/2" long by 1/2" deep.
The only thing keeping this product from getting five stars is the fact that the AM/PM slots lack independent lids. This can be a problem if handling the pods either half asleep or in a vehicle.
I would not recommend this for the elderly. Whereas these work for me fine (I'm in my 20s), I can see why the pods/boxes would be difficult for someone with an uneasy grasp and poor eyesight. Though if you buy this set and find it unsuitable for Grandma, these make fantastic back-up boxes for those who suffer from headaches, indigestion, or remembering to take your meds during allergy season or bouts of the flu.
 Shoddy plastic falling apart in my hands June 29, 2008
The idea is good although other products are more compact.
However this product arrived with one of the small tabs used to open the "pods" broken.
Then other tabs began to break off as I opened each one for the first time.
It's possible to open the pods without the tabs, but the product is so flimsy that I wouldn't trust them not to open accidentally in my bag.
Buy something else.
Probably the best affordable design to date May 5, 2008

The size and double compartment along with the stand, make this the perfect pill storage system. If one is conscientious, it is almost impossible to make mistakes!
The only suggestion for improvement would be to devise a way for containers to stay open and lay flat... of course, I am not sure how!!!
With that said, based on poor experiences with other med dispenser trays, I definitely recommend this one. Just take your time filling and stacking them back in the tray!
All the best,
Jay
