Review on πŸ”¬ Swift S306S-20-2L Binocular Stereo Microscope with 20X/40X/80X Magnification, 360Β° Rotatable Forward Mount, Wide-field 10X and 20X Eyepieces, Upper and Lower LED Illumination, Reversible Black/White Stage Plate by Keith Saywon

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good lenses and build quality, but the electronics let us down immediately.

As soon as we opened the microscope and plugged it in, the electrical transformer inside exploded after a few seconds rendering the light unusable. Swapping bulbs and fuses didn't help. There was little to no information in the manual but the mention that it was for 110-240v seemed to suggest it would fit our 240v New Zealand electrical supply but that doesn't apply to our unit, be it due to malfunction of the device. or this product is not compatible with our power adapter. Aside from the non-working lighting, this is a well-designed microscope for the price, which is a shame. We would have sent it back, but the guarantee and return period was so short that we didn't stand a chance. 3 stars because the products seem to be good apart from this error. Attention, no guarantee!

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Out of fashion
