Not as nice as others I've tried.
I cut pills daily and need to replace my cutter regularly because the blades wear out over time. This is my first time trying this brand and it's just not as nice as some of the others I've used in the past. The pill holding area is kind of slippery so it's hard to get and even cut. I do like that is snaps closed.

Hi, we’re sorry to hear this pill cutter hasn’t been as smooth to use as others you’ve tried, especially with the slippery grip making it harder to get a clean cut. We appreciate your feedback and will share it with our team as we continue improving our designs. We’re glad you do like the snap closure feature though!

It did not cut my pill in half, it shattered it.

Don't waste your money or your costly prescription!
Piece of junk. If this is updated design, hate to see the old one. or maybe this old one and that's what they sold me. Literally crushes an already scored pill. Will return on my next visit, for principle if nothing else. I don't know why it has any decent reviews at all. Ruined two prescription pills that then had to be discarded. Would give zero stars if I could. Glad I kept my old cutter purchased elsewhere.

Perfect for cutting my dog’s meds in half.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My dog was prescribed a heart medication, and the instructions tell me to give her half a pill. This pill cutter has been extremely helpful in cutting her pills in half. Previously, I was using a knife and the pill would sometimes fly off the table. This pill cutter keeps the pill contained once the lid is closed. You do have to make sure the pill is lined up just right in the cutter to get it cut correctly.

Crushes pills half the time
Title sums it up. This pill cutter crushes half the pills I try to cut. Maybe it’s the type of pill I’m cutting, but I’m over it. Pushing down too slow crushes the pill. Pushing quickly to “snap” it closed gets you 50/50 results. Sometimes, you end up with two perfect halves. Other times, you end up with one perfect half, and the other half is falling apart to dust. I just wanted to cut my pills easily and evenly without turning it into powder.

Hi Geena, thanks for the detailed feedback. It sounds like the cutter isn’t delivering consistent results, which defeats the purpose. Different pill types can vary, but it should still cut cleanly and reliably. We appreciate you calling this out as it helps improve the design. Please feel free to reach out to Target Guest Services at guest.service@target.com for further assistance.

Sturdy, easy to use pill cutter
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The pill cutter that I receive from my pharmacy breaks so easily, so I was so glad to find this pill cutter because just taking it out of the box, I could tell it was more sturdy than my previous one. I also love that there are little notches where the pill goes so the notches hold the pill in place and doesn’t move around when you need to press down to cut.

Safe and convenient pill cutter for easy dosing
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like this pill cutter. It’s simple to use and makes splitting pills in a half quick. Sometime I only need a half dose and this has been a huge help. I used to use a knife, which was not only unsafe but also inconvenient since I’d often lose the other half. The finger guard helps protect my hands from the blade and it cuts pills cleanly and safely. I highly recommend this.

Small, Handy Pill Cutter
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a medication I need to split and have tried several pill cutters. This one is not bad. I appreciate the safety feature of the blade being covered when you open it. It is designed so that it will "hold" the pill in place while you lower the blade to cut it, but I found that it doesn't hold that well and slips easily. What I love about this pill cutter is that it snaps shut, so you can use it as a container for pills as well.
1 reply from the Product Manufacturer team - 27 days ago
Hi there! Thanks for such a detailed review, it’s really helpful. We’re glad the safety features and snap-shut design have been useful, especially for storage. We also appreciate your note about the grip, that kind of feedback helps us continue improving the design.

Cutter works well, cuts evenly, will work to do wh
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I take a bazillion meds, and I use my pill cutter each night. This model actually works well. I would prefer having a piece to push the pill towards the top under the blade, but this will be fine. Also would be nice would be a dual blade, whete the top and bottom have blades that make a super clean cut. But, this particular cutter will be just fine for my needs. It did cut a pill evenly without too much slipping around, so I'll give this 5 stars.

Hi Christine! We really appreciate your thoughtful feedback. Glad to hear it’s getting the job done and cutting evenly for you. Your suggestions around added stability and a dual blade are super helpful as we continue to improve the design.

Pill Cutter Standalone- Up
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This pill cutter is simple but very effective for everyday use. It cuts most pills cleanly in half with minimal effort, and the design feels safe to use with the built-in guard. I like how compact it is easy to store or carry while traveling.It’s not anything fancy, but it does exactly what it’s meant to do. Very small or oddly shaped pills can be a bit tricky, but overall it’s reliable and a great value for the price

worst pill cutter ever
Do you like your pills cut unevenly? Do you enjoy having pill crumbs all over your counter? Do you find top heavy things that fall over to be amusing? Do you want to spend twice as long cutting pills as you did with the old one that got dull? Do poorly made devices with weak hinges spark joy for you? If you answered yes to any of these questions, this is the pill cutter for you. Shame on whoever designed it. Shame on Target for selling it.

Great cutter
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was a great pill cutter. I take half tablets and usually break them with a knife but they never split evenly. This splits them evenly! Perfect size to travel with also

Cuts pills easily
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been in need of a pill cutter since I have some large vitamins that I take daily, so I was glad to try the up& up pill cutter in exchange for my honest review. I was able to easily and safely cut my pills in half. It was very straightforward and worked perfectly with minimal effort. Given the type of pill, there was some powder from where it was cut, but that wasn't the fault of the cutter. Great option!
