Product Reviews of Pill Crusher/Splitter with Cup and Storage Compartment
Product Review: Fantastic crusher -- get this for crushing but not for splitting
Summary: 5 Stars
This pill crusher works easily and quickly. The design includes storage for a number of pills (3 compartments, 1 small, 2 smaller) which is a neat extra. One good feature about the crusher is that the crusher and its bowl are half-sphere shaped, so there aren't any crevices in which the resulting powder can get stuck. (I tried another model whose crusher is cone shaped and the powder gets stuck in the tip.)
The down-side of this product is that the splitter opens readily. This is probably useful for people who have limited hand-strength, but I don't like it. I would like to be able to toss the crusher in my handbag and take it with me, but because the splitter opens so easily I need to be careful where I put it, so I don't accidentally cut myself on the splitter's razor. Also, I've seen better splitters on the market. I would prefer if the product were designed so I could take off the splitter entirely.
We use this for crushing only. For that it is excellent.
Product Review: Not impressed...found a better one.
Summary: 1 Stars
I originally bought this pill crusher/splitter because I needed a splitter and I thought the other features crusher/cup/storage might come in handy. Well, the splitter didn't cut my pills cleanly...the pill crumbled horribly when cut. Also the blade was very exposed which worried me a bit since I had to hold the pill still when I started cutting. The various pieces merely snapped together (except for the crusher which screws on at the bottom), so I would not have put a pill in the storage compartment and put the whole thing in my pocketbook for fear of it opening. I started to give it a bad review after a few unsatisfactory uses, but decided to purchase another splitter first and see if it was any better (I thought my pill was perhaps, simply "unsplittable"). I purchased the Apex Ultra Pill Splitter. The Apex was awesome!!! My pill is definitely "splittable". Furthermore, the Apex held my pill still so I didn't have to worry about cutting my fingers because I was holding the pill still. The Apex has a safety shield over the blade when the splitter is open, and it is very easy to push the pill into the storage compartment once cut (this was not so easy with the splitter you are reviewing). The storage compartment on the Apex only snaps closed, so you wouldn't leave the pill in it and through it in your purse. But overall the Apex was awesome and this one was not.Product Review: SWALLOWING DIFFICULTIES
