Live Fine 28-Day Automatic Pill Dispenser with Upgraded LCD Display, Key Lock, Sound & Light for Prescriptions, Medication, Vitamins, Supplements & More

Works well for my 98 year old mother. I had to put a label for her to slide the door open. Sometimes the pills get stuck because she is taking 6 of them and has poor eyesight so can't see them. Of course they are white pills against the white background, which doesn't help. You have to be careful to replace the batteries as soon as you see the low battery icon, else it dies. It was pretty easy to set up the alarms. Overall this has been a tremendous help for me to manage my moms pills while she is in independent living. It would be close to $50 a day to have them administer the pills. I would say this is a good tool in the tool box for helping the elderly who are starting to forget.

This pill caddy is good for someone who forgets to take their pills, but who’s not so far gone that when they hear the alarm, they don’t know what’s going on. So, keep that in mind. The patient has to have enough of their faculties that they can go and get the pills out when the alarm sounds. It’s pretty easy to set up. The directions are fairly clear. One thing to keep in mind: it matters what time of day you set this up. My mom does a.m. and p.m. pills. I set this up in the middle of the day. So, the next alarm that would go off would be her evening alarm, so I made sure that her evening pills were the first ones to come around when the machine rotated. This has only happened once, but one of her pills got turned sideways and actually got stuck, so that when she turned it upside down, all of them came out but that one. And she’s not cognizant enough to notice and make a point of digging that pill out. So, I don’t think it’s going to be much of a problem, but thought I should point it out to be thorough. I really like this. So far, it’s working great. If your loved one forgets to take their pils routinely, this might work for them. The alarm is loud enough (there are different volume settings), and I love that simply taking the action to dump the pills out turns off the alarm. That really helps reinforce the taking of the pills. Can you imagine if there was a big button that would shut off the alarm? People would shut it off b/c it’s irritating, then they might forget to take the pills. So, I love that feature. My mom’s only been using this for about 3 weeks, but so far, it’s working great, and I’m definitely glad I bought this. I just hope it’s a long time before my mom gets to the point where when the alarm goes off, she says, “What’s that beeping sound?”

Our LiveFine 28-day medicine dispenser doesn’t work using lithium-ion batteries. Our devise malfunctions at the designated alarm time: the screen turns off momentarily and then defaults to an incorrect time. The alarm doesn’t sound, the light doesn’t flash, and the wheel doesn’t rotate to dispense the medicine. Our dispenser will stay in this non-operative mode until we re-install alkaline batteries and then re-set the clock and alarm time. We use the dispenser for a relative’s medicine at their house. We monitor the relative and the dispenser’s operation remotely using a security camera and we drive to the relative’s house (~4 hours round trip) at least every few weeks to replenish the dispenser (unfortunately, but understandably, the relative’s caregiver won’t fill the dispenser for liability reasons). After more than a year of daily, trustworthy use of the dispenser, we noticed that the dispenser’s clock was running behind the actual time. Consequently, we replaced the original alkaline batteries provided with the dispenser with new lithium-ion batteries. That night, the alarm didn’t sound, the light didn’t flash, and the wheel didn’t rotate to dispense the medicine. I drove back to the house the next day to evaluate the medicine dispenser malfunction. The clock displayed an incorrect time, but the alarm time was correct. I assumed that I had somehow set the clock incorrectly after I installed the lithium-ion batteries. I reset the clock and monitored the dispenser several hours and left only after the device appeared to track the correct time. However, the dispenser didn’t work again that night. I returned to the house, and replaced the original dispenser with a new dispenser and took the original dispenser home to evaluate. The dispenser worked as designed using alkaline batteries but failed to operate each time using multiple sets of new lithium-ion batteries. At the designated alarm time (in this case, 8:15 p.m.), the dispenser’s clock automatically switches to 6:00 p.m. and the device doesn’t alarm or dispense medicine whenever it’s operating with lithium-ion batteries. I couldn’t find mention of this lithium-ion battery limitation in the directions that came with the dispenser or on the Internet. This time-consuming, costly issue caused us a great deal of problems. In my opinion, don’t use lithium-ion batteries in the LiveFine medicine dispenser.

I purchased this for my mothers pills, of which she has about 9 per day, several of them critical for her health as she is in her mid 80's. Given the reviews online, the cost of the product, and the locking mechanism, I deduced this was a quality product that was built for securing and dispensing serious medications. The product worked fine for about 60 days (30 day return policy). After 60 days we started getting an error code of "EER", which caused the entire device to stop working. The first time we got the code we replaced the batteries and that fixed the issue. A couple weeks later we got the same code again. Even though we thought it was strange to have dead batteries so soon, we replaced them again. This time it worked for 1 day. Then we not only got the "EER" code, the tray with the pills only would advance half way so you were unable to get any pills out of the dispenser door. Since then, it is completely broke and will not do anything. I reached out to Amazon support but since we are past the 30 day return policy, all they can do is direct me back to who I purchased it from. They provide a restricted tool to answer very specific questions only, and then tell you they will get back to you within 48 hours. We cannot speak to anyone. I cannot type a note explaining how critical it is that we get this resolved. Nothing. This product should be marketed as a "vitamin" dispenser, and not as a secure medicine dispenser unless you always have back up means to supply pills, which you probably wouldn't need this device if you did! Due to lack of timely support on this product, and the fact it only worked for 60 days, I would recommend against buying this for anything other than vitamins and aspirin/tylenol/advil, etc.

This product has been a lifesaver (literally). My elderly mother with dementia was not properly taking her meds. This dispenses pills using an alarm and light. We currently use it for once a day, but it can be used for multiple occasions throughout the day. The instructions are complete and make setup easy. Others mentioned frustration over spots being left empty, but this is just due to the math when using multiple pills per day, not sure why they couldn’t figure that out. Pills are dispensed automatically via a rotating carousel. The lid locks with a key so it can’t be tampered with and to prevent extra dosing. We have had no issues with how secure it is, seems plenty secure and durable. The alarm is loud enough to be heard from the other room or over the television.

This pill dispenser has been significantly helpful for my elderly father and especially for me, his caretaker. The alarms go off and he can get his medications independently and consistently. The dispenser holds two weeks worth of his medications. So I only have to refill every 14 days. I appreciate the ability to lock the dispenser so that my father does not accidentally take more pills than required. I only wished that I bought this a year ago.

Somewhat complicated to set up and then to ensure you refill correctly. I don’t think it will work for my senior parents as they just won’t be able to follow how to refill each compartment and set the alarms

Le ha servido mucho a mi mamá. Hay que tomar en cuenta que se tienen que respetar los horarios de la medicina. Hasta ahorita ha funcionado bien.

This is one of those dementia products that promises alot and truly delivers what it promises. We have close family with Alzheimer's and she could never take her pills on time... or at all... or worse miss a few days and then take them all at once. It was a disaster so we thought we'd try this and even if it worked for a few weeks it would be cheaper than hiring someone to ensure she got her pills on time and didn't miss them. This thing has been a Godsend, it's never missed a beat and has been ensuring she gets the right dosage when she is supposed to get them. Its kept her getting her proper medication for the better part of a year and better yet, when you go to fill it you can see if she missed a dose etc. Such a great deal at the price!

Après avoir fonctionner 2 semaines le carousel a commencer de façon erratique. Donc n’est plus utilisable car. Il n’est pas fiable.

Cuando lo compren asegúrense de que lo puedan devolver en caso que salga defectuoso, salio defectuoso y no me permitieron reembolso o devolver el producto

This was the best thing I could ever buy my mom! She has dementia and this solded our pill situation! Easy to set up, easy to use and takes a lot of pressure off of me and she feels more independent! Thank you!
