Almost 2 yr update - no use making a new pic, they look the same. No fading, no cracking, lids still snapping closed nicely and sticking. I've added cayenne and turmeric supplements, both huge pills, had plenty of room for them. Still love this thing so much I slogged through all my reviews to find this and update ;) ------- 1 year update! Original review was 364 days ago, and they're still working excellently. Made a new pic, but it doesn't look any different than the others - not one bit of wear or tear, stretching, fading, nothing. I often bring a day with me in my purse, have had no escapees. Absolutely no issues with lids. Recently added a huge cayenne pill, still not even close to getting full. This has just completely 100% improved my medication experience both in taking and keeping it refilled, which I used to procrastinate a lot about. It's now fun and quick. ----- 4 month update: Absolutely no issues. Lids are still good as new, nothing's chipped, cracked, or broken. Nothing's worn out even a little bit. Even the sharpie labels I added are perfect. Still the best decision I ever made! -------------------------------------------- Original review: I got so sick of all the tiny, cheap ones, having to buy a new one every few months because snaps wore out, etc. Decided to splurge on this and hope it lasted longer. Well, I'm lovin this one. I've been using these for 3 weeks now. While there is one design flaw, in my opinion, overall these are fantastic. I took some extra pix to show...(edit: The pic order got messed up somehow, sorry!) Pic 1. This is, imo, the one design flaw. It's difficult to see the day stamp on the clear plastic. The green side more than the blue, but having no day/time indication on the lids is a flaw. Again, imo. Eventually I'd get used to one side being AM and other being PM, but there's really no need to. Sharpie to the rescue. (And given the rubber lids and design (you don't need to touch where the writing is), it's not going to wear off any time soon) Pic 2. Just a closeup so you can judge size better. Those are my glucoasmine/chondrointin pills, which we all know are pretty dern large. Pic 3. Again to help judge size - you can see the holders are quite large. Pic 4. That's the metal strip that works with the magnet in the base to hold them down. It's not the strongest magnet ever, but it's fine for normal bumping. Pic 5. I was trying to show depth but the rubber lids are pretty strong. I included this pic because strong lids are a plus, imo. There's no snap to wear out, the lids slip down over the case edge, and since it's stiff rubber, it's quite secure. (One of my previous types of pill holders was designed like this, where 1 lid covered 2 compartments and you could remove it entirely. On these, the middle part fits in very tightly and since you can load THROUGH the lid there's no need to remove the top entirely. Seems like that would help them last longer, so I haven't even tried to pull the middle out) Pic 6. This is so you get a good look at just how much room there is in the compartments. In the green AM side you can see the 2 large Gluc/Chon tabs and 1 large Metformin tab, and the blue PM side is 1 Metformin, 1 Gluc/Chon and a couple iron pills, krill oil, baby aspirin and another vitamin. PLENTY of room. Pic 7. Just again for size reference and a good view of the "bowl" of the lid and the openings you load thru. Pic 8. To show the little lip that helps keep them on the base. (and where the base magnet hides) So the drawback of not being able to see the day marks is easily remedied with a Sharpie. The size of these probably makes them a bit less portable. You'd have a big bump in your pocket I guess, but they'd be fine in a purse or bag. These lids will not come off by accident, but if you have other loose things in that bag, I suppose small things could work their way into the container thru the lid. BUT I highly doubt any pills would fall out. That rubber is nicely stiff and you do have to push a fair bit when loading pills, so I can't see a pill making it out by itself. One last small silly thing is, since the lids are rubber, your pills can bounce. You don't have to place them gently and carefully, but don't drop them on either ;) All in all I have absolutely no reservations in giving these an unqualified HOT DANG. Yes, these are relatively pricey, but given the quality and really good design, I feel strongly they're worth it. Very pleased with this purchase and I'm 100% convinced of the durability. (I'm good about going back and revising reviews if needed, so if I change my mind I'll post it

Play Video As an update, I've had this and been using it daily for over 6 months. We still LOVE it. My husband (gasp!) even helps me to fill them sometimes! Like I noted before, rather than using this as an AM/PM dispenser, we use it as a His/Hers dispenser. One side (green) is mine, and the other (blue) is his. It's fantastic and is holding up brilliantly! Original Review: Where has this been my whole life?!?! This is BRILLIANT!!! I may sound a little too excited, but you have to understand, I have been taking a ton of pills for my entire life. When I was younger, my counter top was riddled with bottles. Each night, I would open each bottle and carefully shake one pill out of each bottle before going to bed (most of my medications I take at night.) As I grew older, I grew a little wiser... I started laying out my pills ahead of time, planning for the week. I have used different types of pill cases and organizers over the years. You name it, I've probably tried it at some point. When I became married, I started sorting my husband's medications & vitamins as well. (If I didn't do this, and dump each night's pills into his hand, 75% of the time, he wouldn't take his meds.) A few years ago I started looking at options to presort both of our pills for the week. That's when I started using the AM/PM pill organizers. Rather than use them as "AM" & "PM" compartments, I used them as "his" and "hers." We enjoy traveling together as much as we can. I could never find a pill organizer that held both of our pills, in a single compartment (one for each of us), that could also travel without dumping everywhere. I completely gave up and bought a cheap 4-compartment weekly pill organizer. Naturally, the compartments weren't big enough to hold my pills - so I used two compartments for each of us, for each night. The upside of this organizer (see video) was that it was compact. Sure, it spilled everywhere (requiring plastic wrap or Ziploc bags for transport), and it was a mega-pain to fill and close... but I had given up. Recently, I stumbled across the Sagely SMART weekly pill organizer. It looked fantastic, but like many others, I hesitated based on cost. Finally fed up, I got two of these. HOLY COW! Please believe me when I tell you these are totally worth it. I'm writing this review and doing the video in the hopes it will help others like me who have a similar issue, and are torn over the cost. Stop waiting & order! I feel my video highlights exactly why this is so awesome, so I won't repeat those thoughts there. Trust me, order this! I got two - remember, I'm lazy - so that I could plan two weeks' worth of pills for myself and my husband. The trays hold everything together and neatly in place, and these travel amazingly. I've even grabbed a 'pod' (not sure what to call it), and tossed it in my purse. It was jumbled around and flipped and bumped all day... yet, it never spilled. It's brilliantly designed, large enough to hold all my pills, cute enough where I don't mind them being stacked on my counter, they travel well, and they're a breeze to flip open and dump out. Thank you Sagely

Really Good Pill Dispenser I bought this item for myself when my cheapo one I've had for years finally decided to not stay closed and I had a fear of loosing my meds, No joke this occurred several times when the dispenser fell off of where it was and the pills went everywhere. So for me I have a few requirements in any pill organization/dispenser that I'll go into one by one. Mind you I'm legally blind so anything I buy is always with a focus on ease of use now but also can it be easily adapted if I loose all my sight. Pros: 1. Ease of Use - LOVE the fact that the pills can just be pushed through the top of each cup. Although I have discovered that I have to be careful putting the pills through the hole or they bounce if not pushed in just right and go who knows where in the room. This didn't detract from my review though. Also, The two sides are two different colors a lime green and bright blue making it easier to know which side is which. 2. Big cups - This thing will hold a LOT of pills as the cups are probably the biggest I've seen yet of all the pill organizers I've seen. 3. Tops are tight - the lids or top of this organizer are made of a rubbery type product that is on the cups so tight you have to pull to get them off. This is really a great feature specially for me because if they fall over or if the cups are put into a purse or bag the pills won't spill out. 4. Durability - The cups and tops are very well constructed and appear as if they will last for a long time. Cons: 1. Weak magnet in the base - The magnet that holds the cups to the base strip are really weak. This is the reason for the 4 stars and not 5. For the price I paid I shouldn't have had to solve this problem. This became an issue for me because I have cats who knock things off as well as I'm notorious for knocking things over and off tables. This allows for the cups to fall off the base to easily and get lost requiring me to find them. The worst so far was when I lost one of the days cups for around 4 days due to it falling behind something. Due to this I worked on solving the problem. My solution was to place 2 Velcro squares on each cup and base so that they would stay put. For this purpose I used the clear squares because I wanted to keep the overall look of the item intact. VELCRO Brand - Sticky Back - 7/8" Squares, 12 Sets, Clear 2. Price - I feel the price of this item is kinda high but I'm not sorry I spent the extra money for it. However, I can see where many would view the cost as a con. Now I use this for a weeks worth of pills at a time. As I take a dose I turn that cup around so the opposite side faces the other way, leaving it that way till the end of the week when I start of and turn them all back around. This way I know which doses I've taken just by the fact that the blue is now facing the front. Now regarding the point that if I loose my sight and/or for a person with lower to no vision just put a tactile dot on the lids on one side or on the cup itself so that you can always know by touch which dose your on. Bump Dots - Clear, Mini Rounded-Top Round Bump Dots Overall I'm really glad I found this on Amazon and took a chance and purchased despite the cost and highly recommend it to everybody specially if you have a lot of pills to take and or need something a little more durable then the cheap dispensers. The pros and cons I've mentioned are just my experience with the product and in no way could reflect on yours. My review is my own and was not coerced or reimbursed in any way and is only a reflection of my opinion and experiences. Update - 4 years Wow, I can't believe it's been over 4 years now that I've used this dispenser. Here's a few take aways regarding my experience - Still in absolute love with this dispenser - This thing is HUGE and will hold a LOT of pills. Yes I've managed to fill it up completely which allowed me to discover that the rubbery lids are awesome because they allow for the pills to go higher then the top of the cup and still hold everything in. A hard plastic lid wouldn't do that as it can't mold to what's inside. The cutouts help give the lids more flex room too. - Everything works as it did out of the box with the only exception is some slight discoloring on the lids from some of my supplements. For me after 4 years I'd be surprised if there wasn't some color changes of some kind. - I still can't increase my rating to 5 stars despite loving the item due to the magnets in the base not working. This is a huge problem that I still haven't solved completely. The Velcro solution mentioned in my original review worked but I want the magnetic hold dangit. Although, using a food tray at least I have a specific place to keep it and putting it on a shelf under my computer monitor is at least keeping my busy cats from knocking it off. I have finally convinced hubby to get one, only took 4 years. Once again this is my own unsolicited opinion which is based solely on my own experiences and in no way should impact your experience or opinion of this item

My bride takes several pills and vitamins. We've gone through several pill organizers - all of them failed rather quickly. Usually broken lids. I buy another brand...same issue. So, I started looking for something that might last. When I saw this, I kind of balked at the price. Then I decided to give it a shot. Glad I did. Those regular plastic cases cost between $8 and $15 - we've burned through far more than $35 replacing broken organizers. These are bigger than what she needs, but each day's container is detachable - there is a magnetic base. So, she can load up on Sunday and if we are going on a trip for two or three days, she can just take those days. That's a pretty neat feature - I do wish the magnet was stronger, though. The lids are pretty awesome. Loading your pills is pretty simple - just push them through the lid. The lids are very durable and flexible rubber. The lid closure is pretty positive, so I think pills are quite safe. The plastic is thick and promises to hold up for a long, long time. Each container is labeled with a day of the week and is divided into a morning and evening compartment - and each has it's own lid. The unit is big - much larger than I thought. Other reviewers reported each container can hold some 20 pills or more - I believe it. The size of the unit is largely offset by the ability to take individual day dosages from the base plate. All in all, this has proven to be a good choice. They advertise an app to remind people to take their meds. My wife hasn't used this software, so I can't comment on it. UPDATE! Still haven't tried the app - my bride is not into those things - but we did go on a road trip recently. She took three day's of pill containers, left the rest behind. They rattled around in her big travel bag with all the other stuff the thoroughly modern lady travels with these days. No dings, scratches, or incidents. No lids popping open, no spilled pills. Sometimes you DO get what you pay for. If you are going to have to stay on top of pills for an extended time, buy this organizer

This pill box is well worth the hefty price tag. The compartments are large and can hold large pills as well as a significant amount of smaller pills. The magnetic base is very nice in that it securely holds the daily containers in place. I refill my containers on Friday evening and since the individual days are not connected like they were on my old inexpensive pill box I can rearrange my week to fit my needs (Friday is my "last" day). The containers are brightly colored. Each day is well labeled with large letters on the front and back. There is a slit in the top of each lid to push the pills into the container as well as a dimple to hold the pills before loading them. This method of "loading" the containers is very quick . I can double-check that I have each day's pills correct before pressing them inside the appropriate day/time well. The lids stay securely closed for travel but at the same time are not difficult to open when needed. The clear view of the containers allows you to see if you have taken all of your pills for the day. I highly recommend this pill organizer even though the price is much more than the average pill container

I started having to use pill cases about 40 years ago. I have been through everything from tiny round beautifully engraved (my first case from my mother) to massive month sized "do everything but shove the pill down your throat" cases. I purchased a two pack of these containers in December of 2019. They are still almost perfect. The only wear they are showing are some slight scratching on the push-through and a little wear on the hinges (nothing has broken). Things you need to know about these containers: 1) They don't spill. Even if they do fall off the base (see comment 2), the pills do not come through the slash holes and the lid does not pop off. 2) Each container is individual and has a small metal bar on the bottom. The base is lightly magnetized. This keeps them on the base if you bump into them on the counter (but not if dropped on the floor). They are still easily lifted off with slight pressure with arthritic fingers. 3) The top of the container is FLEXIBLE, it is not a hard snap on. Hence, less long term wear on the hinges. It is on fairly firmly, but again arthritic fingers can easily open them. I open them to take the pills - for convenience. 4) The slash top allows you to load the pills without ending up with a mass of pills scattered all over the table. I place one pill on each top to ensure I have enough for the week (I actually load 2 weeks at a time), then push the pill through. This reduces errors on my part and I assume would help those with minor memory problems (anyone else should have someone else load their pills). Also, the slash top allows the pills to breathe, vitamins stink. (I suppose a small duct tape/electrical tape modification on both sides of the slashes might keep it waterproof, I would test it thoroughly. Fun fact, did you know electrical tape comes in purple now?!) 5) The day of the week is clearly marked on both ends of the container. I chose one color to be my morning and one for evening. As a mnemonic, I chose the aqua/gray for sunrise and the pink/orange - sunsets (two weeks loaded). There is a tab with the company name extending out a little on one side of the base, so I use that to mark the case front and load the week left to right, aqua/gray on top and pink/orange on bottom. There is a third color set available if you wish to load three weeks at a time or to use it for the two weeks of midday pills (I recently purchased the blue/green color to do two weeks of midday pills). 6) Finally, there are two zipper cases available. One forf holding a single base and one for holding three bases. My only wish is for a case with a two base capability. But as I personally only use the case on vacations, the single base case works. Yes they are a bit pricey. But it is now October 2022 which means I have gotten almost three years out of them so far without significant wear. (I included a picture of one of my current containers. It is the XL size and contains 15 pills, three of which are large vitamin size. It is maybe half full.) I look at the box of old pill cases in my closet (they all promised to be the last case you ever purchased) and wish I these decades ago. PS - There is an app, lol

I have owned this for nearly 5 years now and only now realized I'd never continued a review. Forgive me, please! This is by far the best organizer ever. It's sturdy. It lasts. It holds up to falls on the floor. It doesn't let the pills come out or let the top accidentally open and spill pills everywhere. When I'm going on a trip I just take the days I'm going instead of the entire set (unless going 7 days). I usually take weekend trips do this of extremely handy to take 3 compartments. I initially purchased it for the large compartment sizes. My pills weren't all fitting into my old one. This is super for size! I've never had so many pills that they won't fit and considering fish oil pills and how big they are in addition to vitamins etc, it's just perfect. I thought I might rather do the pills into each compartment rather than pushing them through the top. However, I realized that I can lay the dose for the pill I'm currently distributing on top and can clearly see that I've allocated the right dose at the right times before pushing them through the lid. Then I can just move into the next med. This has helped as I don't have to take a second look and see if I already put a dose into a particular slot. Then I go onto the next medication and do the same. I was worried they might pop or escape through the convenient spot in the top when the container fell or was shaken around in luggage. No such thing. I've had other cases fall and loss pop open of many, if not all, days would pop open and pills would go everywhere. These never spill. They are tightly sealed within and nothing phases them. I've had them for long enough you'd think I could have worn them out or maybe cracked a compartment or two, or maybe the lettering would fade so you wouldn't know which day was which. Not so!!! With the exception on the top - it's slightly discoloring where I pop the pills through (surely due to natural human oils on the skin and various pill color). I clean the containers weekly before loading all over with disinfectant wipes to be sure they are kept clean. I'd tell you the single best thing about it if I could, I just love all of it! Every aspect! I find no down side except running across this today I see they have lid colors now other than just the blue and green. Oh my, it just occurred to me if I buy another I can sort and store for two weeks at a time!!!! Wow. I'm now going to have to have another set in another color, of course! Pink looks good! Simplifying the management of my many meds has given me peace of mind. Not worrying when the doctor prescribes yet another pill because I know it'll fit! Just buy it. Don't think it over. It's an investment in your peace of mind

Let's face it, most pill boxes are ugly. This one's not ugly ( : It's actually rather stylish. The nicest features are: Large size boxes--you can fit a lot of larger pills or supplements in each side. Color coded for day and night (green = day, turquoise= night) at least at our house. Little slits in the top, so you can place pills on the top of each box while sorting, then push them in when you have the whole week siting on the tops THIS IS HUGE--BECAUSE THEN I DON'T FORGET WHICH COMPARTMENT ALREADY HAS A PILL--I line them all up and then push them all in. No memory lapses. Well, unless you can't remember which pills you have done----but I have a system with the pill bottles so I don't forget that either ( : Daily boxes (7)--that detach from the gray magnetic base, so you can keep the entire thing one place and only move the daily box to the kitchen or wherever you take the pills. Great detailed information on the product page--one of the nicest instruction/feature pages I've seen There is also an app to set pill reminders, but we've got something else and I have not tried that. The only thing I would improve is to make the magnet on the base a little stronger, as sometimes I bump the boxes off the base, when moving the whole unit. But maybe it's weaker so that people with weak hands, or arthritic hands can remove the boxes for themselves. Ergonomic success---finally someone fixed the issue of too tiny compartments and came up with a solution so you don't have to go back and dump out pills, if you think your missed a slot. Nice work

I have used one of these pill boxes for a couple of years now, and recently bought a second one for my wife. She now has medications she must take twice a day, and this pill box is convenient for that. In addition it offers a lot of space for one's pills and daily supplements. For a year or more I used the slits in the top of each compartment to push pills and capsules through in order to refill a week's supply. But about a year ago, I found it more convenient to use 7 clothespins to hold the covers on each compartment open while refilling. That way I can just drop my pills, potions, and poisons directly into their respective compartments. This defeats one of the clever design features of these boxes, but hey, that's just me. This pillbox also had some other convenient features, including the different colored sides. When taking my morning pills, I turn that particular pillbox 180° when placing it back on the magnetic base. That way it is easy to see at a glance from above which is the active box for a given day. And at the end of the week, I then reorder the individual boxes when refilling by swapping Sa-Su, F-M, and Tues-Thurs to put the boxes back in my preferred order for the week. This sounds complicated, I know, but once one sees the cumulative effect of each days 180° turn on each individual box, then perhaps one will understand that the preferred l-r order of the days is reversed. Because these individual boxes are removable and the tops fit quite tightly and are secure, when pressed down firmly over the plastic lip of the pill compartment, they are good for short term travel of a few days. It is easy to toss into one's luggage as many of the boxes as needed for the length of time one expects to be away. Now make no mistake, this pillbox is expensive as such things go, but this is, far and away, the best pill box, which I have ever had

This has made a huge difference in my life. Not only does it mean only opening/closing 20 caps one day a week, which is important when you have arthritis in your fingers, but it makes it easy to plan when to refill medications and buy more vitamins. I order some specialized vitamins online from Amazon, some from CVS, and seeing exactly when I will run out of medication gives me a heads up on when to order more. I haven't used the app. I have been able to put about 20 pill bottle in the medicine chest rather than taking up the bathroom counter space. Hallelujah. I use the light green side to represent morning, and the blue to represent night. After I take the morning doses, I turn the container around so I know the evening meds are ready. It also accomplishes the other useful feature of pill organizers, confirming you actually TOOK your medicine that day. The magnets in the base are very mild. This is a plus for those who don't want to exert a lot of force to move the containers
