JFA MedicalPill Grinder/Crusher - Crushes Multiple Tablets/Pills into a fine Powder

This item is easy to use, easy to hold, and makes crushing pills so easy.It seems a bit big considering your only crushing 1 small pill, but for someone with joint issues or issues holding stuff this works very well.There is a plastic pot at the bottom which collects the powder which is also easily removable to allow you to get the powder out the pot.It comes apart easy for cleaning,I use this daily and have no real issues other than every so often I have to re-adjust the cutting level to keep it to a fine powder. As this does become loose after a while of continuously turning the handle

I would advise watching the guy who reviewed it with a video attached as it explains the cleaning process extremely well.It's the best pill crusher by far and I've tried a few!

I was using plastic screw down crushers before, this is much better on the strength in my hands. And crushes without grinding the plastic against the plastic. The grinding parts are are still plastic cogs, but different action.

Very easy to use it grinds pills into a powder rather then gritty bit it can grind multiple pills at a time and as a good size container for the ground pills well worth the money.

Rubbish product, can't crush the medication

While the grinder gets the job done and might be right for you it certain situations, it basically gets the job done and was cheaper than others, there are a few concerns I have that might impact your choice.1. The powder capture section has lots of grooves and crannies. Which, not surprisingly, trap your medication to the point that even firm tapping won't release them. This might be okay if your pills are of a large size but for smaller pills you may fine the dosage is going to be reduced. I'm not sure why the manufacturer didn't make this a single smooth edged capsule.2. I've found I've had to break apart larger pills to ensure they're correctly grabbed by the grinding mechanism. Sure, this is probably true of all similar devices but it means that for some you're going to need a pill cutting device and of course it's another additional step.3. Grinding goes quickly and you can feel, through the lack of friction, when you're done. However, there are again lots of areas in the grinding mechanism that can trap pill fragments. As a result you need to ensure you're giving a few taps and shakes to get everything into the grinder mechanism. You may also want to grind without the top cover on so you can see inside.Tip:You're instructed to wash this before use. Be aware that it traps water everywhere. I'd originally washed and left for 24hours to dry and still had paste like clumps on first use. Second time around I loosened the grinding consistency knob most of the way out and gave it several flicks over 24hrs to shake loose sitting water. After this there was no pasting. It does however mean you won't really be able to use this and then wash before using different medications.

Pretty much does as described. A little common sense is required. For example, some of the larger ‘metformin’ type of enormous tablets cannot be dropped straight into the grinder as this will cause damage to the fine ceramic stones. (Chipping of the grinding stones)No, these require a tablet/pill splitter to be employed initially. This means they can be dropped into the grinder in much smaller increments to successfully produce the desired results of a fine powder in order to mix into drinks, food or soup for example.With a little fine tuning of the adjustment wheel, it is possible to achieve repeatable results time and again.A very good, well made product and excellent value for money.Easy to clean too, so as to prevent cross contamination.Highly recommended.

Turns pills into a very fine powder, just Make sure you read how to tighten the adjuster.Also I thought that the plastic cup in the bottom was removable but it isn't, not a big deal.
