    This thing is bigger and heavier duty than expected. Seriously, this magnifying glass is actually kind of heavy. It doesn't bother me, but it should be said.
  • Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2022
    Liked: fit, a magnification for every job, lens swings up out of the way so you can see things 'like normal' when you need to, light is nice feature - bright but not glaring and tilts to light exactly where you're looking, the box and tray are strong enough to be perfect storage on your drawer.
    Disliked: a bit difficult to get the batteries in, switch slides 'hard' so you need to turn the light on before putting these on.
    Comments: I didn't notice the weight after wearing for 30-60 seconds, but some might not want the weight on their nose... get the rechargeable version which is about 20% lighter. Do not think I will need or use the strap.
    Would recommend for anyone - for doing fine work, or with tired eyes.

    I bought this magnifying glass and left it in the box on the shelf for some time. Finally a job came up that required reading super fine print. That is when I discovered this magnifying glass is far better than all the magnifying glasses I have had in the past....
  • Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2022
    I am very pleased with the magnifying glass. It is a bit heavy for prolonged use but, given that it is a glass lens and takes 3 AAA batteries, not surprising. Which brings me to the one problem: In the product description where it says "batteries required?" and answers "no", this is incorrect. I suppose if you didn't care if the LED's work batteries aren't required, but..... When I read the product description I assumed either batteries were included or were not replaceable. WRONG. And, the link to "Report incorrect product information" did not work. The little tabs on the handle that need to be depressed to remove one lens and replace it with the other are a bit difficult as they need to be firmly, simultaneously and fully depressed for removal and there is very little room for a finger (I have small hands) and I ended up chipping a nail as the very tip of my fingers was all that would work for this task. This would be a very difficult operation for anyone with arthritis in their hands. The LED feature is very nice to have if needed. All in all I'm pleased with this purchase.

    I had been looking for a magnifier for coins which was not very expensive and this was the solution. Very easy to interchange from 5x to 10x. There is edge distortion (especially at 10x) but that is to be expected unless you buy a more more expensive glass magnifier. LED lights are very effective. For things like coins this is far superior to a loupe magnifier which will cover only a fraction of the magnified area. Very happy with this! If I had a recommendation it would be that the 10x be the same diameter as the 5x.

    I used this when I paint miniature figures. I use it for about 6-10 hours a week. I purchased it in December, and one of the two LED lights is already out, and it no longer produces enough light for me to work. I've bought the identical item from multiple vendors (they all have exactly identical parts and form factor but have different sellers) but this one from Amazon Basics has lasted less time than any of them. During the time it works, it is very useful and lightweight, and the combination of magnification plus LED lighting is very convenient. I would recommend using the included headband to reduce pressure on the nose, and the other common failure mode is the default "eyeglass style ear mounts" will break the point of insertion to the main unit. Using the headband also avoids this. On most units the LED will start to flicker after about 8-12 months of use, but I have used this for less than 3 months and one LED has already gone out. For the price, I'm usually satisfied with approximately a year of use, but having it fail in 3 months is not worth it.

    I've never needed anything like this but since I've gotten up into my senior years. These are half the price as the more expensive ones and if there was a comparison I'm sure this would meet the standard. I'm very happy with the kit! Fits around my head perfectly you have an option. Either you can have the temples like glasses, or a band to go completely around your head. I use the the band. You cannot go wrong with buying these if you're a hobbyist it's a must. You really don't have to be a hobbyist just use it great to thread a needle or whatever else you would require a magnifying glass if your eyes have been traveled.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Hervorragende und schwere Qualität
    Reviewed in Germany on March 30, 2023
    Ein durch und durch hervorragendes Produkt. Die Lupe ist relativ schwer, da sie massiv gefertigt ist. Die Linsenqualität ist hervorragend. Durch die relativ große Linse von fast 10 cm im Durchmesser lassen sich auch größere Bereiche hervorragend vergrößern. Die Lupe entspricht exakt dem, was man auf den Produktbildern erkennen kann. Es gibt hier also absolut nichts an dem Produkt auszusetzen.

    In mindestens einer Rezension wurde bemängelt, dass die Lupe spiegelt. Das ist korrekt. Es ist keine besondere an Entspiegelung aufgebracht. Die würde bei der Größe des Glases auch nur wenig nutzen. Physik lässt sich nun einmal nicht überlisten. Aber ich denke das ist dem durchschnittlichen Verbraucher auch durch aus aufgrund seiner Lebenserfahrung klar.

    Wer eine Lupe in dieser Größe sucht, dem kann ich dieses Produkt nur sehr empfehlen. Der Preis ist wie bei allen Amazon eigenen Produkten sehr niedrig. Die Qualität ist hervorragend. Es sei noch einmal betont, dass die Lupe eine 2,5 fache Vergrößerung hat. Wer eine stärkere Vergrößerung sucht, muss selbstverständlich ein anderes Produkt wählen.
