I tried a couple other CHEAPER pill reminders, all but failed over time. I like that fact it takes regular cheap AA Alkaline batteries than specialty batteries. Variable alarm/beep (4) settings or no alarm. Flip the Volume button for louder if you prefer. Normal setting was plenty LOUD for me. :) The female voice is an added bonus...hehe. She reminds me and then keeps on reminding UNTIL I TAKE THE PILLS, click it once, then she tells me my next Pill reminder Alarm/Time if set. The Screen lights up for low room lighting-schweet! Dropped it like 10 times since having a nervous condition and IT WORKED JUST FINE!

I purchased this little clock for my 85 year old mother who was getting confused about whether it was night or day and sometimes forgetting to take her pills or forgetting that she had taken them and taking them again. Sometimes she'd take her morning pills at night or the night pills in the morning. This little clock has been very helpful. If she gets confused about whether it's a.m. or p.m. she pushes the green button and it verbally tells her "Good morning, it's 10:00 a.m." or "Good afternoon, it's 2:30 p.m." I've set alarms to go off when she is supposed to take her medications so it reminds her to take her morning pills or her evening pills. This has helped her to continue living independently.

the colors are primary bright the talkign alarm even on low is rather loud and it is a lifesaver for reminding to tke meds. we call her NAGGIE here because if we forget, she nags ntil you shut her up. best think for taking care of a hospice patient.

My 90-year old mother didn't take to it right away, but we worked with it together, and she was finally able to use it independently and accurately. It pleased her that she could remove my burden of having to be at her home three times a day for medication dosing. My only criticism is that the cost makes it prohibitive for many people. Medicare SHOULD cover it, but I guess that would just make too much sense!

My 82 year old mother with Altzhimers hasn't missed a dose since we got this wonderful reminder!

I ordered three different products to help my mom remember to take her meds. This was the most user friendly for her after I set up the times... I don't think she could have done that for herself.

Our 84-year-old mother was eager to be back in her own home after surgery. But one of the things making my sister and me uneasy was that Mom kept forgetting to take a new med that had been prescribed for her. It needed to be taken at a different time of day than her other meds, and she just couldn't seem to remember it.

We got her a Medcenter talking alarm, and that's helped tremendously. She likes the pleasant voice reminder, and we feel much more confident that Mom's taking her meds when she should. And that's crucial to her maintaining her independence.

The Medcenter Talking Alarm Clock & Medication Reminder with voice cues is an exceptional device at a reasonable price. It allows for four voice announcements or audio alarms. I would suggest, however, that selection of the individual alarm settings be simplified or better explained in the instruction manual. With a little fiddling, I was able to get the three times that I use set and the fourth time turned off. All in all, a very useful product.

This was a product for my father-in-law to help him remember to take his pills twice a day as well as tell him the day and the time since he always needs to know those things. It is doing a good job and he hasn't missed any doses, although he is tired of her voice because it won't stop speaking until he gets up and turns her off.

This product is a bit dicey to set up but it doesn what it is supposed to.
