TabTime Super 8

Ordered this alarm for my mam who has Parkinson’s and early onset dementia. Think the idea behind it is great and Aziz was really helpful with recommendations. The only problem we have is that because my mam has had Parkinson’s for 18 year. The movement in her fingers is limited, she is unable to use the tablet dispenser side.After lots of practice at opening the actual alarm we have managed that. The alarm stays programmed easily and the batteries lasted about a week. This was due to the fact that my mam wasn’t opening the alarm to disable the red led flashing light. Hopefully we’ll get abit longer out of it next time.In all I would recommend this device if you are struggling with taking tablets on time and if you movement is not so limited you’ll be able to use all the functions fine.

There's plenty of room in each container, I have 6 tablets daily and there's still room forPlenty more. Easy to set up clock and reminder. This is my 2nd box as container lid broke but I have had it for 5years so very sturdy.

My wife has Parkinson's & has to take various tablets at set times throughout the day. Until we purchased the Tabtime Super 8 this was a problem & it was hard to keep track of the various doses. The audible & visual notifications allow one to know that medication is due & the flashing light tells one if a dose has been missed as it keeps on until the box is opened. This latter very useful function is my only source of disappointment with the product as on two previous boxes the visual warning failed. Despite this early failing of the LED warning light the product is so useful that I have purchased again - now on my third. The LED failure perhaps reflects a lack of robustness or longevity of this particular function. Also the TabTime Super 8 seems to be the only product available which is simple to operate & has the essential audible & visual notifications. I recommend subject only to the caveat above.

Arrived promptly and very easy to set up. Bought for my wife who has Parkinson’s. While very careful with her meds, taking pills six times a day meant it was all too easy to miss a dose, especially if she was occupied doing something else. Then there was always a doubt over whether she had actually missed a dose or simply forgotten that she had taken them. But this device eliminates both scenarios. The alarm reminds her to take them, the flashing red light also serves as a visual reminder if the 30 second alarm is missed for some reason. A great product and well recommended!

This product may very well be designed for Parkinson’s patients, but certainly doesn’t suit anyone with shaky hands. I wasn’t even able to place the tablets in the containers without spilling medication everywhere as the plastic cover constantly just popped off and I would just lose my tablets whether I was putting them in or taking them out and whilst I realise, I take a lot of medication I found that the compartments, a bit on the small side.The alarms did however work well as reminders.Unfortunately none of the noises were suitable for the spasms I have caused by my fibromyalgia as every time they would go off I would end up having a fit and half the time then forget to take my medication after I had recovered.I did try storing my tablets in a different device and using the alarms as a reminder, but then realised that I was actually being quite stupid really because I could just use my phone as an alarm reminder and keep my tablet stored elsewhere, leavening the device useless really and not fit for MY purpose.I would say though, that the alarms were easy to enough to set.I would’ve returned it, however I was out of my 30 days by the time I gave up on using it and obviously it was used.As far as I’m concerned, it was a waste of money, but it did have some potential to be fair, just not for me.It could definitely be improved with a different pill setup maybe a large and small option, which could have separate sliding compartments, with alarm sounds that start soft and build up in sound would have been better for me personally and make it waterproof. But I guess that is just my opinion and like I said it does have some good points just not suited to my needs.

This is the 2nd time I have purchased one of these. I bought it for my mum who has parkinsons to help her remember to take medication. Easy to set up an use also fits in handbag. The only reason I ordered again was because mum had it 5 years and has dropped it quite a few times and started going wrong from the damage although it's quite strong. The colour is lovely also as the 1st one was blue.
