Ezy Crush Pill Crusher

This is just a basic pill crusher that does it job very well. It has a compartment on top to store whatever you’d like. The device is made of heavy plastic & feels very solid. The device is extremely easy to manipulate and twist, using next to no forced to crush your pills. After the pills are crushed the powder does not stick to the device and is easily poured out. The device is very easy to clean, just wash it out for your next use. This item it does exactly what it’s supposed to do at a great price!

Extremely easy to use and works without fail for us.

Well made, does exactly what it’s designed to do with minimum fuss. Crushes pills and tablets completely with very little effort. Large chamber easy to empty and keep clean. A great value.

Simply and easily crushed tablets but could use a small brush to get the residue.

I'll start off by saying that this isn't a "new" product for me, exactly. Rather, it's just me buying the smaller version of a larger unit which I've been using, happily, for years. My wife and I own pets, and over the years, several of these pets have needed to receive medicine at times. Now, giving cats, in particular, medicine is... challenging, at best. ("Impossible" at worst!) My wife is able to stick a pill down a cat's throat using her finger, but I can't make myself do that... call it a phobia if you like, but the idea of harming the animal sort of freaks me out. Using "Pill pockets" or other "food wraps" is pretty effective... until the first time that the cat bites down and discovers what's inside. After that, using "pill pockets" becomes essentially impossible. So, I'll use that approach if I can, but often can't. SO... the last trick, which works nicely when the pill involved isn't TOO nasty-tasting, is this: crushing it and mixing it into food. Usually a pretty fragrant food, which they're really fond of, works best. This WON'T work for particularly terrible-tasting pills, but for most, it works pretty well. And the larger version of this has been what I've been using to do my pill-crushing for about fifteen years now. The only complaint I ever had with this was that the compartment seemed too large for the volume of crushed pill powder I was left with once done. Well, I'm going to be away for a while, and I'm taking my two furrballs with me (while the others will stay with her), and I needed my own copy for this period. I was assuming I'd just get the same one, but was pleasantly surprised to find that there's a smaller version as well. The smaller version is far better suited to the amount of medication you'll usually give to pets, or to small children. The larger one is best suited, honestly, to "adult-sized" doses, in my opinion. It's trivially easy to use. Drop the pill(s) into the compartment, and screw the top section in. I'll usually screw and unscrew the last portion several times to ensure that I get the pill fully crushed. I then simply remove the top (tapping it on the side of the crushing compartment if there's any residual pill powder on the "core" of it), and then just dump the contents of the crushing compartment over the food (again, tapping it if necessary to get as much out as possible. If you're using the same medicine every time, there's no real need to wash it every time, but if you're doing multiple types of medications using one crusher, you'll likely want to wash it off every time. That's easy... dishwashing soap and a nice hand washing works perfectly, along with air drying (I doubt it's "dishwasher safe," however, so don't try that!) It's a very simple design... not many chances for things to go wrong... but it works very, very well. It reminds me of my own childhood, with my mom crushing stuff with a spoon to give to the kids. This is much, much better. If you have a need to do what this does... you're not going to find many better options.

This is a pill crusher, OK? It should crush pills into powder. It does do that. But guess what? The flat side of a metal teaspoon and a porcelain bowl do that as well. I should know! That is how I've been crushing my vitamin pills forever--- for at least a decade. Let me tell you, that method works. Let me also tell you, that method is a freaking hassle! First you have to get the right-sized bowl that's flat enough so the back side of the spoon can press into the bottom of the bowl. Then you press down the back of the spoon onto the middle of the pill. But watch out! The pill can scoot out and shoot across the room. Or, the pill can shatter and just a tiny couple pieces can scoot across the room. Even if it doesn't do that, you then have to re-crush the pieces that are still not powder. Again and again. And again. And again..... and again.... Sore wrist and thumb.... Grrrr!!!! Now, contrast that with the Ezy Crush Pill Crusher with Ergo Grip. The crusher has three pieces. It has a top part with a kind of cylindrical plastic pestle that tapers to a gentle point and is threaded like a screw (top side). The partner side (bottom side) is a reservoir that is the perfect inverse of the pestle, and also has screw threads on the outside. These are made of hard plastic. The outside of the unit has softer plastic grippers that look sort of like the gears inside a clock (see photo). The bottom of the crusher, where the reservoir is, is made of see-through plastic-- so you can see if the pill is actually crushed. Finally, in the top part--- inside the pestle--- there is a place to store extra pills. The third piece of the unit is the cover to this storage space. (The three pieces do fully separate from each other, so I suppose there is a miniscule risk of losing part of the device.) How it works is that you drop the pill into the reservoir. Then you insert the pestle into the bottom section via the screw threads. Then you turn the top and screw it into the bottom part until it's tight. That's it! Unscrew the top and you have powder in the reservoir. The handles have a larger radius than the pestle, so you get larger amount of torque--- you have a bigger moment arm. That means you don't have to exert much force in order to get really tremendous pressure inside the pestle. They are also made of softer, comfortable, grippy plastic. It's therefore very easy to turn for old people (not me) and weak people (not me) and lazy people (me!) (That's the Ergo Grip for you!!!!!) Then you just shake out the powder wherever you need it. Screw it back together for storage. A few small glitches I noticed, though, which you might want to be aware of: First, when the unit arrived it smelled a bit of new plastic. I rinsed the unit with Dawn dishwashing detergent and water, and the smell went away. Second, when you crush the pill, if you crush too tightly, the pill will sort of re-crush and then get stuck onto the pestle. You have to flake off the stuck pill on the pestle back into the reservoir. If you're not careful, you could lose some of it. Third, you might need to re-crush it a second or third time to get it totally into fine powder. I figured out a good method. Crush the pill, loosen the thread a little bit (but don't unscrew it totally), shake it around so the pill powder moves around inside the reservoir. Turn the crank again and re-crush it. Do it two or three times in a row. It takes like less than 30 seconds. Really probably less than that. Maybe 15 seconds. Fourth, a tiny bit of pill powder will remain stuck to the inside of the reservoir. This is so very minor to be almost inconsequential. You can scoop out the tiny bit left with your finger, but it really isn't much at all. Overall, this is a REALLY BIG improvement in technology. It has taken a job that was really a time-consuming hassle for me and turned it into something that can be completed easily, cleanly, painlessly (no more sore wrists!) and perfectly in less than 30 seconds. That a five-star to me! Thanks, Ezy Crush Pill Crusher with Ergo Grip! You're the best!!! *sigh* :)

Works perfect ! Let's me grind up my dogs meds in seconds rather than 10 mins.super easy to use.

I’m only giving this three stars because it cracked and now part of the crushed pills fall under where it cracked and you can’t get it out. The crack happened only after a few uses. Other than the crack it does do its job of crushing the pill. It is small easy to use and for the price it is worth it if it hadn’t been for the crack I would have given it more stars

و لكن ان كنت تبحث عن نتيجة = بودرة فليس خيارا جيدا .

Amazing pill crusher. I have a foster kitty that is hard to pill so I had to start cursing her pills. This is quick and easy and breaks down the pill completely leaving no lumps. The design is also great and works for any pill.

Well made pill crusher better than anything similar in the market But if there’s an option to have darker color instead of white would be nice It’s a bit of a hassle to find and remove sticked powder while most of pills are white too

My daughter cannot take pills so this crusher is used daily and an absolute life saver ! Easy to use , only thing is the cover on the little compartment to hold pills doesn't stay tight but a non-issue for us as we don't need it :) Great price for a great product !

Fácil de usar para un adulto, pero sí se necesita fuerza para triturar las pastillas. Creo que debe usarlo el cuidador, ya que para un adulto mayor podría ser difícil
