SammyLife Vita Caddy, 28 Day Pill and Vitamin Dispenser

We bought this for an older family member who has been experiencing some mild memory loss. I just load her medications and she is set for a full month. This is a wonderful product that has given our family needed peace of mind.

I myself am a very busy mom of two young children. I purchased one of these for myself. With a simple push of a button I get all my daily medications and vitamins. What a terrific time saver!!!

I was so very tired of opening over 10 pill bottles a day. The typical 5 day "pill boxes" wouldn't fit all of them and they cluttered my counter. I purchased this and mounted it on the inside of my kitchen cabinet. Wonderful! I am so very pleased with this product.

It's a great idea with very sorry execution. It's made from flimsy materials with little QC.

Probably the worst thing about it is the pushbutton design for dispensing pills. There are a variety of way this could have been done better. As it is, the pressure it takes to push the button is greater than what it take to just push the whole thing around the countertop if your using it with the stand. It's almost impossible to push with one hand while leaving you with a free hand to catch the pills as they come out. I try to hold a small cup under it but the little flap often hits it causing it to jam further.

A better alternative would have been a sliding gate actuated by a rotating dial or some individual slider mechanism. The way this is designed each button pushes against it's trap door near it's pivot point causing it to resist a lot and then pop open suddenly, all while having to hold the whole thing in place with your other hand. When the pills spill out there's only a narrow little trough that you might catch half of your pills in. And that's part of the flimsy stand. At the moment I don't have a place to wall mount it which may make it easier to use but I have a feeling I'd probably break it then.

I'm not elderly (yet)and I can barely manipulate this thing. I'd hate to have to try and use this thing with arthritis.

This product is exactly what I need. I've said tons of time not having to open 10 bottles twice a day. Just click and go!

Easy to use, but the pushbutton mechanism that releases your handfull of pills is not as effective as it ought to be; it works better just to open the trapdoor with your thumbnail and let the pills fall out. Large gelcaps can sometimes get stuck but they usually fall out if you let the trapdoor slam shut and reopen it. Overall I am very pleased with this way to organize pills--MUCH nicer than those multi-compartment boxes. Very east to load. Ingenious design. Can mount on wall or affix to freestanding platform.

A perfect way to organize my supplements, and this product has helped me. Now I can take my ADDeral on time to handle my ADD.

One of the Springs that controls the slide down mechanism was broken, no instructions. contacted Amazon they offered refund but I wanted item. told me out of stock even though website said they had stock.

it would help if amazon mentioned how many pieces there are with this item which would have saved my searching through the trash for pieces that are not here.
