I rarely review items, so please pay attention. I read the review by the "nurse" who trashed this thing. I almost let it get to me, but there are too many 5 star ratings to ignore. I just had a full laryngectomy, and suddenly have 20+ pills to crush every day. I had an old screw type plastic crusher but it wasn't effective. This Pill Mill is a lifesaver. It grinds with almost no effort, and the adjustment screw on the bottom will grind to the finest powder. I wipe out the reservoir edge after every use, just to keep the powder from building up. Other than that, it's maintenance free. Don't fall for negative reviews. Every time I use this product I think about how much it's changed my life!

I have ground ALOT of pills in my lifetime. Eighteen plus years of experience as an ICU nurse/nurse practitioner followed by another eight years of daily pill grinding for a family member that requires their meds via a GJ tube. I Have used ALOT of different makes/models and styles of pill grinders as well: cheap & simple plastic “screw tops”; mortar & pestle; compression squeezer models (where pills are placed in a plastic baggie and then “squeezed” till crushed); even putting pills in a piece of folded paper, covering with a surgical towel and then beating the towel to death with a mallet, hammer or any other hard object available. (necessity is the mother of inventions they say). No matter what method one uses, the outcome desired is always the same: a fine ground powder with minimal chunks. My current pill crusher of choice for home use the past year has been the SILENT KNIGHT (a baggie & compression type device) which I was introduced to while working at UCLA Liver Transplant ICU. The SILENT KNIGHT is the mother lode of pill grinders: it is a work horse, it is effective, it is efficient and once you get your own little system going with it, there is NO PILL IT CANNOT CONQUER! It is extremely well made out of high quality steel and aluminum; with that being said, this high quality construction does come at a price: the SILENT KNIGHT is heavy and not as travel friendly as other pill crushers on the market. Because we encounter travel frequently including overseas travel, there was a real need for a lighter and easier to pack pill grinder. Therefore, the “Pill Mill” was purchased simply to be used as the “travel pill grinder”. It looked light and compact, easy to assemble/dissemble, clean, etc. The reviews looked promising....who knew? Maybe we would be pleasantly surprised and it would outperform the SILENT KNIGHT. Shipping was quick. Delivered as promised. Packaged well. Removed from box. Instructions included and were easy to understand. As other reviewers have said, the removable top lid is somewhat difficult to get on & off; it is quite a tight fit, but to me it is a hallmark of quality construction and not really a downside of the product itself-however, I could see that if someone had severe arthritis or limited dexterity, they may have difficulty getting the top on & off. The removable crank arm turns easily (turn clockwise to grind pills), but it has to be reattached every time you remove the lid, which requires you to thread it down onto the post on top of the lid of the grinder. Once again, someone that has limited dexterity or poor vision may have difficulty doing this as well. Where the “PILL MILL” really fell short for me was in its basic function: grinding. It performed as promised when grinding small pills that had no waxy or enteric coating on them. When I say small pills, I am describing pills no larger than the diameter of a pencil eraser. Pills that were larger than that or were oblong had to be cut in half or thirds. Also, the “PILL MILL” did not perform well when it had say, more than 3-4 smallish pills in the chamber at once. If more pills were placed in the grinder or large pills placed, the gears of the grinder would get jammed, requiring you to either a) rotate crank shaft counter clockwise while shaking “PILL MILL” to dislodge stuck pills or b) dissemble entire grinder and fish out the jammed pills one by one. Gave it several more attempts using different techniques, hoping to make the “PILL MILL” perform up to my expectations....but to no avail. In the end, the “PILL MILL” is being returned & I am thankful this company offers a 30 day return policy. BOTTOM LINE: SAVE YOUR MONEY! I would only recommend this item if you have a few pills to grind (that are very small & have no waxy coating on them), and also have a need to grind spices or MMJ. Otherwise, you are better off saving your cash and buying a $2.00 plastic “screw top” grinder that you can pick up at your local pharmacy. (Or go the pounding with the hammer route which is free) However, if you have multiple meds to take/give that requires them to be pulverized into a fine powder, check out the SILENT KNIGHT. (I swear I am not affiliated with the company in any way; I am just a loyal user of their product). Although not perfect, it still is the best crusher/grinder out on the market IMO. So much so, that we will still be lugging it in the carry on, as heavy as it may be, grinding and crushing pills as we travel the globe. Just a recap: “PILL MILL” Pros: -sleek design -lightweight; good for travel -works for small pills, small # pills, no coating -30 day return policy “PILL MILL” Cons: -removable lid hard to get on/off -removable crank handle may be hard to thread onto post for some people -can’t handle larger pills, large # of pills or pills with a coating -big pills need to be cut in half or thirds -crank seems to spin and spin when pills get stuck requiring counter clockwise rotation of crank and /or manual dissemble -DOES NOT PERFORM AS DESCRIBED!!!!

I was specifically looking to avoid plastic grinders, so when I came across this one—with its ability to handle multiple pills at once—I was immediately intrigued. I’ve recently started a new supplement routine for my guinea pigs, and the only way they'll take their vitamins is if they’re finely ground and mixed into baby carrot purée (they’re adorably picky!) When I first began using the grinder, I was pretty frustrated. It didn’t seem to catch the pills properly, and I found myself constantly shaking and tapping the device to reposition the supplement, then trying again—repeat, repeat. It took much longer than I expected, and I was disappointed. Fast forward a month: I opened a fresh bag of supplements, popped one into the grinder, and within 30 seconds it was reduced to a fine powder. I was stunned! That’s when I realized the previous batch must’ve absorbed moisture, making it harder for the grinder to do its job. With the new, dry supplements, I can grind 2 or 3 pills at once in no time. It’s made prepping their daily mix so much faster and easier. After about two months of use, I did notice that some powder tends to cling to the sides and settle into the crevices at the bottom. Tapping the grinder doesn’t dislodge it, but a silicone spatula helped. I’ll be checking the instructions to see if there’s a recommended cleaning routine. Overall, I’m really glad I found this grinder—it’s been a game-changer for my guinea pigs’ supplement prep.

This is one of the best pill crushers I’ve ever used! I absolutely love it! I have to crush pills up for my dog to mix in wet food, and being able to crush it into very fine powder makes it so much easier to mask in that wet food. Others I have tried would leave bits of it chunky and she would avoid the food that had the chunky bits in it lol. This one actually has a turn knob on the bottom of it so you can set it, to how fine you want them crushed. I’ve used it with the knob to turned to max / super fine, twice a day for about 2 months now and it’s still crushing them just as great as the first day I bought and received it. Seems well built. In my opinion, and It’s super simple to use as well. The price was very reasonable too. I would definitely recommend this for anyone that needs pills crushed!

La verdad que hace su función muy bien, la utilizo para la suplementación de mi perra senior y he tenido otras marcas y otros tipos y esta es la que mejor se adecúa, es rápido y eficaz, si que es verdad que la diferencia de precios también se nota. Lo que hay que tener en cuenta es romper por la mitad la pastilla, eso si, pero una vez metes todas, las mueles y listo! es cómodo ya que toma 4-5 pastillas al día y aquí se muelen todas a la vez, se puede graduar el tamaño del grano/polvo por una ruedecita que tiene dentro. Adjunto foto de como queda en polvo

pour les cachets les plus durs , ça écrase très bien, finement et sans efforts

Prodotto fantastico, corpo in metallo, parte elicoidale interna che frantuma le pastiglie in teflon resistente. Completamente smontabile e lavabile. Testato con 5 compresse di grossa dimensione contemporaneamente, polverizzate senza nessun problema. Altamente consigliato per uso professionale!!!
