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.

Bought for elderly relative in care home - solves many reading problems especially with the built in LED lights. Easy grip handle , lightweight to hold for long periods of time.

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.

I got this for my elderly mum in nursing home, her cataract op didn't go as planned and until she gets glasses she has been using this and loves it

Really useful magnifying glass. The light is a extra bonus for aging eyes.

Great for use with tiny cooking instructions!!! Takes the stress out of preparing food.

This is quite small, so good for reading instructions on packets or small print on paperwork, but perhaps too small and heavy for prolonged reading of a book. I don't understand the comment that it is for left handed people. I held the handle in my right hand and the light went down towards the page, not up to my eyes, which it would have done if I held it in my left hand. I am a bit annoyed that it came without the cloth bag to protect it from scratches, which would have been very useful. I can't be bothered to return it for a refund.

Don't you just hate it when a product which needs batteries arrives without any. Note to manufacturer: Put the price up a little to cover the cost, but don't send it out without them.The actual magnifier and lights works well and is well-designed.
