LED A4 Full Page Large Hands Free Magnifier 3X Magnifying Glass Lens Reading w/ Cord

This is for my husband, he only has vision in one eye and that is very poor. He can actually read the newspaper now without going word to word with a magnifying glass! Thank you!

Bought this for my mother. This is her review of the product: 1) Plastic construction feels chintzy 2) Lens has good magnification, but seems to have a negative charge which attracts all manners of dust. 3) Lens has circular grooves on the underside which are difficult to clean. 4) Distortion through lens is extreme. 5) When worn around the neck, magnifier gets in the way turning pages, depending on the size of the material being read - not good for reading choral music, for example. Mom agrees that this is better than nothing, but she much prefers the little owl glass on a chain that we also bought from Amazon (it's not hands-free but she likes it better).

Item is usable but not very well made. Cheap hard plastic legs and clips to secure the legs when folded are very fragile and must be handled gently to avoid breakage. I purchased this for my 83 year old mother that has failing vision. In that respect the product will serve its function.

Didn't do what we needed for playing cards.

I bought the item because it said magnifying glass. Instead it was the same plastic optics used on the magnifying pages I see locally. The legs help some but I still found myself changing angles to get a clearer picture. I gave it four stars as with the legs you can use it for short stints of reading. Holding a sheet 4" away was impossible to do for more than a few pages. At least with this you can do a few chapters. I have learned 1 thing from this. Avoid omnibus books altogether. The savings in price is not worth straining your eyes to read. Until they develop zoom glasses this is the next best thing on physical books. Now on kindle you can merely change the size of the letters...shu

I bought this for an 89 year old friend, who still holds down a job, requiring close work--he catalogues collectors' postage stamps. Unfortunately, his eyesight isn't what it used to be, so he wondered about a standing, page-size magnifier, similar to what he would use in his employment as a cartographer years ago. This was the closest thing I could find, and he is happy with it! His "boss" says it's really helping him, too. Some of the reviews I had read online, regarding either this product, or something very similar, complained about its quality, performance, etc. But for the money, I think it's great, and with responsible usage, there is no reason why it shouldn't last. (No, you can't let your undisciplined child sit on it, stand on it, chew on it, etc. and expect it to survive.) I tested the opening and closing myself, installed the batteries for the light--which also works quite well--and believe that a conscientious person will get lots of use out of this.

First, to other reviewers, there is no such thing as a magnifier this large for easy home use that is NOT a fresnel lens. So the concentric circle ridges are unavoidable. And you have to experiment to see how far you want to hold it from your eyes and from your reading material. We all wish there were a magic whole-page lens you could just put on the page and see it perfectly, but there is no such thing. That said, this is immensely helpful for the vision-impaired when you need a hands-free view of an area larger than a few lines of text. The LED lights are well-placed. The frame is plastic, but anything heavier wouldn't be good for wearing around the neck. It's a little hard to keep dust-free because of the ridges, but it is worth the trouble.

with a flimsy construction and a cheapo lens, this product is pretty worthless. Far better quality and value is UltraOptix Lighted Hands Free Magnifier 2 5x with 6x Bifocal.

Met my expectations for magnification and clarity. The lighting could have been better done with a strip LED on both sides.

Great help for my 96 year old Mum; leaves both hands free to hold her book or pick up her coffee cup while reading and reduces the strain on her eyes. Thank you very much!

Very uncomfortable for eyes....rough surface so unclear...it's made of fibre ......text can be read only through middle portion the whole page can't be read at once..I suggest don't buy

My dad really liked this, despite the varying reviews. He liked the versatility in the legs and the strap. It works well for him.

Reading has been limited for my 85 year old Mother-in-law, but now with this wonderful product she has been given back her love of books. It arrived quickly and better than advertised.
