Doesn't magnify 3x

I chose this viewer because it says 3x magnification. Although the screen is 3 inches, the image is more like 1 1/4 inches x 1 3/4 inches, so I'm a bit disappointed. Loading and unloading slides is easy as the top edge always sticks out which seems to be a problem for others. Another slightly annoying feature is,

Didn't even last a month

I bought it because of the lower price knowing I wouldn't need it after seeing and looking through a few thousand slides. It worked fine initially, but after a week the light went out permanently when I put in a slide to check. And after a couple of weeks the light wouldn't come on at all. I opened the viewer to see if the batteries needed replacing and found that one of the battery contact points was not straight. and didn't touch the lightbulb.

Big size but difficult to open and use.

I think I have a defective device. It took three different people to open the back and insert the batteries. After installation, resetting was almost impossible. It was so tight my friend almost grabbed it with a hammer trying to shut it (I stopped him). We finally came back and the device didn't work. It never worked with other (new/good condition) batteries either. Even with the lighting part working, there was no way to open and close the back without nearly destroying the back openingโ€ฆ

  • WALK THE MEMORY ROAD with Porta Slide! Compatible with all installed 35mm and 2x2" (5x5cm) slides, this portable slide viewer displays your memories on a 3.5" screen. LED backlight and 2x magnification allow you to see everything in detail!
Cons
