Question 1

How does this compare to Equadose (Equaxdose)?  Thanks

Accepted Answer

1- The EqualSplit is ⅔’s the cost of the Equaxdose
2- Pretty much identical devices
3- Neither works as a pill splitter

The issue with this design is placing the pill, any pill, into the jaws and centering it there.  Then remove fingers and clamp the unit shut before the pill moves.  It is difficult to do, and impossible to do quickly, made even worse if you have any hand arthritis or shaking.  If you’re splitting a week or so’s worth of more than one medication at a time, this will drive you nuts and take much, much longer to do than with the more traditional V-groove razor blade cutter at less than $5.  I so wanted a better way to do this mandatory task...both EqualSplit and Equadose are not the solution and are in fact harder and slower.

Question 2

Can this pill cutter cut pills into fourths?

Accepted Answer

Yes! It cuts into 1/4's with ease! Mine just arrived today and I'm actually sad I ran out of pills to cut. Every single pill cut clean and accurately. The snap sound when it cuts is a satisfying ASMR bonus. My pills are pretty small and all other cutters I tried turned the 1/2's into a single usable 1/4 and the remainder was crumbles/dust. This one works so well for 1/4's, zero waste. Highly recommend.

Question 3

Why is this particular pill splitter, manufactured by the same company, $10 cheaper than its counterpart with blue cover?

Accepted Answer

I assume your "blue cover" pill splitter that you are referring to is the Equadose Pill Splitter; I haven't personally tried it, but the physics of the Equadose is different than this EqualSplit Pill Splitter.  You can see that the top of the EqualSplit device slides up and down in a parallel fashion while the Equadose has a pivot point on the side.  I can't image that the Equadose can work as well because of the unequal lateral force vectors compared to the linear force vectors of the EqualSplit device.  Can that justify a higher price for a device that seems fundamentally flawed?  I don't know.  I do know that the EqualSplit Pill Splitter works extremely well so paying any more for anything that, at best, can work as well, seems foolish.  JMO.

Question 4

Is this dishwasher safe?

Accepted Answer

I don't know for sure but I would think it would go through the dishwasher.  Nothing seems to be glued or soft plastic.  It's very sturdy.
