Kaome Rectangular Magnifying Glass with Light Magnifier Large Foldable Handheld 5 LED, 2 Dimming Modes, 2X Magnifying Reading for Seniors Low Vision Books Pages Magazines Newspapers Maps Jewelry

Honestly, the best magnifier I have ever had! Firstly, its rectangular shape is more suited to using with alongside the horizontals and verticals of the printed page, secondly the handle means one hand stays out of the way and does not interfere with any viewing task. Thirdly, the handle is white creating a stark contrast with the dark, black of the reading frame. Fourthly, but not least, the fabulously bright LED lights which are optional but all add up to a greatly enhanced reading experience. Highly recommended.

I bought this for my 89 year old mum, who struggles to read fine print, especially in a poor light.She carries it with her everywhere, and uses it on a daily basis.I've lost count of the number of times her friends have asked me where I got it from - it's such an everyday-useful thing!It's the right size for a handbag, the folding handle is well-made and convenient for storage/ carrying it about, the light is brilliant- is such an easy thing to use, and it solves such an important problem for those who are slowly losing visual acuity (which is all of us as we age...).If you're looking for this sort of magnifier, you can't go wrong with this one.

Excellent magnification, great illumination. Most of the critical reviewers appear not to have noticed it requires 3 x AAA batteries, not two. Definitely for right-handed use: illustration shows underside. My only gripe is that it should be just a bit bigger to take in even a paperback page without constantly moving it.

Bought this for my hubby as he has difficulty seeing the really small print. He takes it everywhere with him.

Perfect size and nice to handle and does the trick for being able to read tiny print. Great price too.

Ergonomics are a bit rubbish i.e. the handle and balance is not ideal if used for lengthy periods. Not band value. Lens if "ok" for general use.

Good magnification and my husband is very pleases with the light.
