Properly designed page magnifier
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 ...

I Love the As Seen On TV Guys
They shipped a quality product very quickly. My Dad decided he didn't need it - and they graciously accepted a return with no questions. I got a full refund immediately. It was a pleasure doing business with you.

Don't buy this, it's awful!
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.

Cheap Chinese plastic junk.
This is an other example of cheap Chinese plastic junk passed as a useful item. It is particularly sad that such rip off is perpetrated on those who can not see well.

GRANDMA LOVES HER NEW TOY !!!!!!!
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?
