There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Update: I have had this med reminder for almost a year now, I think--long time anyway. It still functions well but I have found a few flaws. My timer did not come with paper instructions, just a diagram on the box. The website says it should come with a paper copy of instructions so if yours does, be sure and save them in a safe place for future use. My four times a day medicine was changed to one I took three times a day and I could not figure out how to turn off the 12 pm alarm. After giving up I asked my husband to see if he could do it and somehow he did; but he can't remember how. Now I'm supposed to use a med four times a day and I couldn't figure out how to turn the noon alarm back on. My husband tried and he couldn't either. I went to the company's website and downloaded instructions for my model of alarm. The problem is, they must have changed the set up of the buttons but kept the model number. On the instructions one of the buttons on my alarm is not there anymore but I hoped the instructions would work anyway. They did not; but I found where they said the alarm was automatically set to four times a day when the batteries are inserted. Instead of noon the set times included 1 pm so that was close enough for me. I took out the batteries and waited a second and put them back in. Sure enough, the four times a day automatic settings worked. Of course I had to reset the hour, minutes, date, and year. I just hope I don't have to change the frequency or times of alarms in the future.
The second annoying thing about the alarm is the volume. There are only two settings, "loud" and "extra loud". The loud setting is really loud and I have never tried the extra loud setting. The alarm is placed on my computer desk since that is near where I keep my meds. There is a phone near there too and if the alarm comes on while I'm on the phone I can't hear the caller and they can't hear me. Usually they gasp, "What is that?!!!!" and I explain it is my pill reminder. Pushing the button to shut off the alarm doesn't help because it goes on to tell you the time and when your next alarm is due. Most of the time that is fine and I don't want to shut off the voice feature but it can be annoying.
It alarms up to 4 times a day to tell you to take medication. I have found many of the reviews on Amazon about this clock to be incorrect. It does have a talk mode which tells you the day and date and says to take your early morning meds, or evening meds. We only have those two set so not sure what it says for the mid morning or early afternoon meds. You can turn those reminders off, which some of the reviews say you can’t do. You can also set it to just alarm and not talk about taking meds if you want it for another purpose.
Cost is just under 30.00, but I have been well please. It helps me remind others and myself to take meds.
One thing I do like is that if you are in the other end of the house when it alarms, it will announce a couple of times and then stop and announce again in about 5 minutes when you are closer to it to turn it off. It continues this process for about 30 minutes before permanently ceasing the alarm process. It is very loud. We can hear it upstairs from the kitchen. I was very surprise on how loud it is. Would be great to awake a hard sleeper however it would be telling them to take medication but it announces the day, date and time each time also and seems to have a built in snooze feature.
I was afraid about how hard it would be to set, but I was able to work my way through it. It might be you would need to get someone else to help you set it up the first time if you aren’t good with technology, but it would be worth the effort has been my experience. One reviewer said their dementia mother didn’t mind this clock telling her to take her meds the way she did the reviewer telling her. Interesting thought. Oh, it is battery driven so very portable. Easy to shut off. Red button is only one you have to be concerned with after it is set up. Once you depress the red button, it says "Alarm acknowledged." One review seemed to think that was the only words it spoke but that is not so. It will announce if set correctly. I've only had this clock for a couple of months, but see it will be packed with us along with meds when we travel since that is a time when we are most likely to forget. Someone asked why I didn't just set the smart phone as a reminder. I tried that and found it to be very aggravating as it would go off in church and everywhere. Just looking at this clock is a reminder in itself at times. If I am out watering the plants, my phone would go off and by the time I was back inside, I would have completely forgotten and miss my meds. This thing continues to give little reminders for about 30 minutes off and on so you don't miss it.
The default one repeats continuously and is very annoying.
The instructions are a little hard to follow, but setup is easy once you do it a second or third time.
Highly recommend.
Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2024
It will activate every few minutes, be silent, and then once again, remind you for another minute. If I know that I won't be home, I will turn it off as my shared wall, next-door neighbors may be able to hear it. It holds four separate consistent alarm times for each day.
I recommend this product.
