8 LED Dual-circuit Desktop Hand-held Folding Magnifier
The Unpacking:
The magnifier came in a basic but durable packaging. All components were present and unbroken. Everything was wrapped separately in plastic, and the USB cord was wound up neatly with a tie. Our first impressions are positive!
Handling It Post-Unpacking:
The material of the magnifier itself is made of plastic, including the handle and lens. It doesn't feel too light or too heavy, just right. It's comfortable to hold and move. Although it has a simple design, it isn't cheaply made and feels very substantial. I have small hands and had no difficulty holding and maneuvering this, and I'm sure all hand sizes would be just fine with the mechanics.
General Usability and Accessibility (The Important Stuff)
The first thing you'll notice is there are two options to power this baby up: batteries and USB cord. If you want to be more mobile, you'll need 2 AAA batteries to run the magnifier. These are not included, but they're a very common battery, so finding quality ones shouldn't be hard at all. As for my purposes, the USB cord is the best option. It doesn't use the cord to charge. It's just like any other corded device with no internal battery. Of course, you need to plug it into the correct USB port, but again, this is a very common cable, so there should be no issues here. I hooked it right up to my laptop and I had no issues. When I pressed the button, it clicked right on.
Now on to the gadget itself. Right off the bat, there's great news here. You can just use this as a regular old magnifying glass, if you want to or need to. But what's the fun in that? To turn the lights on, you just press the black button under the lens. It doesn't need to be held, it just stays on. There are 2 light settings: bright and brighter. When you turn it on, the bright option is first. All you have to do is just push the button again, and you get the brighter option. To be honest, I didn't see a huge difference in the light brightness settings. It's noticeable, but not crazy noticeable. Either setting made it super easy for me to see what I was reading. This is a very good magnifying glass, lights or no.
As far as accessibility, I found it to be pretty good. It comes with a built-in stand. It's a little less durable than I would like, but it does do what it should. The stand is nicely integrated into the base of the magnifier. In fact, before I really examined the box and instructions, I didn't even notice the stand! Whoever designed this did a great job with that stealth factor.
Overall Thoughts and Final Rating:
If you have vision problems, or just need to see something close up, this is a great product. I totally recommend it. The design, durability, and function all work great. It's convenient with it's power options and is portable enough to take anywhere.
This is getting 5 stars! Awesome magnifier!
