 Good product January 8, 2009
It does what it is supposed to do. Although I bought the item from Amazon, I saw it for half price later in a grocery store.
 Works for some pills, but could be improved. December 25, 2008
This product works best if you're cutting a hard, medium- or large-sized, round pill in half. It keeps the pill in place with a rubber grip while you're cutting it, and then neatly contains the two halves in a compartment.
However, if you're cutting a pill into quarters, things become more difficult. It is hard to position a pill half in the splitter so that evenly split quarters are obtained. The blade is covered by plastic, which confers a blunting effect that tends to crush or chip some pills, especially small or soft ones.
Despite the crushing effect of the blade's plastic cover, this product is very safe. You do not need to worry about cutting your fingers on the blade while positioning a pill.
Another difficulty when using this product is cutting large, oblong pills. It is difficult to position the pill so that the blade splits the pill evenly, regardless of whether you are attempting to split down the long axis or the short axis. Some oblong pills do not even fit in the splitter so that they can be split down the short axis.
Finally, while this product is quite useful for cutting certain kinds of pills, it is a bit on the expensive side, especially considering its limitations.
Excellent product October 19, 2008
This product works as advertised and is very simple to use. The slot that holds the pill is made of a material that holds the pill tight, which allows you to place the pill and get a good cut everytime. The safety guard is a simple thick rubbery piece of plastic that slides in front of the blade. It's simple, but is effective. Just about anyone can use this device without trouble.
The hinge is made of nothing but plastic and after some use it has started to squeak. The design makes me think this product may not last more than a couple of years, but that is just my initial impression after 2-3 months. With that said, I'm very happy with the product and recommend it over just about any pill splitter on the market hands down!
EVEN YOU'RE GREAT GRANDMA CAN DO THIS October 14, 2008

Great Device July 31, 2008

This product works much much better than I had expected. It has a super sharp blade which is enclosed in a sheath while it is open. Place the tablet on the device, close the lid and the sheath retracts and very neatly cuts the tablet.
It is a bit like a guillotine, and is actually fun to use!
There is a reservoir or well just below the cutting surface (it's blue in the photos, as is the cutting area) so cut tablets can fall into the well. You can cut around 12-15 tablets before emptying the cut tablets from the reservoir back into the pill bottle.
Highly recommended. I've been using mine for around 2-3 years and the hinge is beginning to get a bit sticky, so I ordered 3 more to have in reserve...it is that good and valuable!
No pill segments flying on the floor, and absolutely no chance of a cut finger.
Try it, you will not be disappointed!
