Good product but needs better cord!

I was very skeptical of this product because of its cheap Price but it has really delivered. It works very well the only problemIs I wish the cord was longer socket plug it in and read while it's plugged in

Pros
  • Has a large lens diameter for a wider field of view
Cons
  • The product may be difficult to store

Good for sitting and reading.

At the price, it’s a good buy if you need this for reading smaller text books. The viewing angle makes it so you really need to be sitting upright with the book and the magnifier flat in front of you. The lights could be a bit brighter but they work really well regardless.

Pros
  • ★DUAL POWER BY USB AND BATTERY: This magnifying glass is different from other magnifiers in that it can be used in both battery and USB modes. And you can adjust the brightness of the LED lights to protect your eyes in the dark.The power cord Should always be plugged in to turn on the light. If there is a loose condition, please insert it tightly.
Cons
  • The product is difficult to use without instruction

Good for table but not hands free

I ordered this for my mom who has poor vision due to cataract surgery. She has a difficult time getting the magnifier to the correct distance and angle to read. The string attached is flimsy, and doesn't help hold the magnifier by itself.

Pros
  • Light weight, easy to use, good clearity.
Cons
  • The product is not very durable

Great versatile magnifier!

Loved the versatility of this magnifying glass: you can use the string around your neck or use the legs to make it hands free or you can even just fold legs in and hold it on the sides to read anything. I love the large screen and the fact that it has 3X magnification. I would have given it a 5 star if the light was a little brighter but otherwise it’s a great product!

Pros
  • Promotes independence for seniors with low vision
Cons
  • Users may experience headaches or dizziness with prolonged use

Needs a glare shield

I’m using this product for reading. Everything is as advertised except that it should have a glare shield. It’s almost impossible to use because of the glare on the lens from other lights in the room.

Pros
  • Great product but I wasn't able to use it for my project.
Cons
  • I know you get what you pay for, but it is a bit flimsy. It does work.

Works as advertised. Three Stars.

Hands-Free Magnifying Glass Large Full-Page Rectangular 3X Magnifier LED Lighted Illuminated Foldable - There are some noticeable distortions in the plastic. The plastic stand that comes with it works, but I don't read with my eyes at a 90-degree angle to the text I'm reading, so the stand is of no use to me. The magnifier works as advertised and I got what I paid for, but I wouldn't recommend plastic. Three Stars.

Pros
  • The usb cable was missing! Other than that it works great.
Cons
  • The product is overpriced for its quality

Works well for the price

Nice having the option for battery or cord, a built in battery that charges would have been a better option, but for $14.99.The lights also could be a little brighter. The screen itself has a little glare because of the swirls in the plastic to stop the glare and so you can’t see scratches. All in all it works well, not sure how much better the more expensive ones are if at all. I think I would spring for a real glass one, but not for another plastic lense.

Pros
  • My wife likes it.
Cons
  • Some distortion not easy to handle

Plastic viewing area scratched

The plastic viewing area had multiple scratches. Light weight but very fragile.Update: weeks ago the manufacturer said he would refund the cost of this item. Apparently, they were lying. Stay away from this seller

Pros
  • ★EASY TO READ: Our full-page magnifier offers a larger reading area, allowing you to read the entire page, reducing the hassle of moving multiple times while reading.
Cons
  • The product's design is not ergonomic for all users

Wish I liked it better.

This device surprised me. It was less and yet had much potential. I do use it on occasion but I'm not sure if it was worth the purchase. It's very subjective. It's not a high quality object but it could be useful to the right person the right place. I keep it and occasionally try to use it with limited usefulness. Technically it does what it says. But as a personal low light vision I'm not sure if I would recommend it at this point. Again that's subjective for me.

Pros
  • works as advertised
Cons
  • This was purchased as a gift. My brother likes the hands free ability.

Not worth the money

The magnifier, although large in size, only magnifies the center 2inch diameter of the 'glass'. There is no way to look through and clearly see the text below. It seems to create a blurriness that should not be there. Do not buy. I wish that I could return and not have wasted the money.

Pros
  • Mother can see her bills and monthly bills a big help
Cons
  • Not very clear as expected.

See and Type at the Same Time

I prepare hundreds of tax returns every year, and every year the print on W-2s and other tax documents seems to get smaller and smaller. Eye strain is a given in my line of work. It became so frustrating trying to hold a hand held magnifying glass with one hand while trying to type with the other hand. This full page self-standing, lighted magnifier solved the problem. It allows me to clearly see the numbers on the W-2s while at the time typing the information into the tax software. I plug it…

Pros
  • I would have given five stars for every issue but plastic lenses are easily scratched.
Cons
  • The Hands-free feature isn't always comfortable
