Tools and Hardware Reviews of Lighted Stand Magnifier
Customer Review: Properly designed page magnifier
Summary: 5 Stars
If one understands the purpose of this product and Fresnel optics, he will be very satisfied. Build quality of the frame is appropriate for the use and price - better than expected. Fresnel lens itself is surprisingly good vs. the competition (Physics dictates that the distortion free area is 6-7" circle in the center and that the image will be somewhat muddy. This lens minimizes these problems as far as possible in a single layer design). To get better results expect to spend order(s) of magnitude more money.
So, know what to expect ...
Customer Review: GRANDMA LOVES HER NEW TOY !!!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this for my 85 year old grandma about 5 months ago who has a vision problem. Thought it would be a nice Mother's day gift as she loves reading books. Well, I got a phone call today and she kept bragging about this magnifier. She is using it every single day. I am buying 2 more just in case she looses the one she has now.
YES, she is great at that and should receive GOLD MEDAL for loosing stuff. Any EMMY Awards out their for that?
Customer Review: Don't buy this, it's awful!
Summary: 1 Stars
As other reviewers have written, this is very cheaply made and very flimsy. The magnifying *plastic* is muddy and when you turn on the lights in the magnifier, they create a weird prism effect that distracts from what you're reading or crafting. I also tried hanging it around my neck like the manufacturers recommend & it gave me a neckache.
In short, please don't waste your money.
Customer Review: Rip off product, horribly junky
Summary: 2 Stars
I used to be an optician, and I am appalled by the poor quality of this item. At most it must've cost about ten cents to make. With shipping this will run you about $20.00......it isn't worth it. Take my word for it.
But there doesn't seem to be much of a choice in this sort of reader that's of decent quality.
Customer Review: Should have heeded the reviews!
Summary: 1 Stars
I am almost ashamed to admit that I purchased this magnifier against the advise of the reviewers. It is of very poor quality and should be sold in a "Dollar Store". In fact, a dollar would be asking too much for it. I cannot believe that Amazon would even be associated with this product.
