MAGNIPROS Patented 5X Large LED Page Magnifier with Detachable Stand | Eye Caring 3 Color Light Modes & Anti-Glare Lens to Reduce Eye Strain-Ideal for Reading Fine Print, Crafting, Low Vision Seniors

My magnifier just arrived yesterday, and I’m in love! The makers have addressed every issue in previous reviews. The battery lid is secure (especially when it’s in the stand), there’s a bright blue sticker next to the power button so it’s easy to find, and you no longer hold down the button to turn the light off. You simply scroll through the lighting options until it’s off. There’s also a sheet enclosed to explain some of the other things people took issue with: lightweight plastic lens (being perceived as ‘cheap’ instead of understanding this new technology). And bonus! Included in the package is a protective microfiber pouch that doubles as a screen cleaner.I foresee years ago reading and crafting pleasure using this magnifier.

When helping a friend look for a page magnifier, we came across this one and decided to try it. It is helpful in getting more words of a sentence together than using a handheld. For simple use, it is a good solution. When I ordered, there was special pricing including the stand and it seems to be helpful for more hands free use. Everyone's low vision needs are so individual that you have to try and see what works for you.

I bought this for my father who was having trouble reading (he is having trouble with his vision). While the magnifier itself works, the stand did not balance well on him while he was trying to read (I know it looks like it shouldn't, but there was a photo of someone who had it that way. My dad quickly got annoyed by that. So just beware that it's probably best for hard surfaces.

This was just delivered not 20 minutes ago. Of course I had to check it out. I haven’t actually used it for my Diamond Art but I set it up over the canvas to see how it would look. It is amazing!! I was using a hand held magnifying glass which is very awkward doing crafts. The numbers on the canvas are so clear. It is very light weight, easy to angle it where you need it. I’m going to love this!!!! Highly recommend this already.

The VIEWABLE lens space is 4.25" x 7" which, for studying textbooks is not practical. The lens is supposed to be high quality, but it's like any page-size bendable magnifier : it has concentric rings, which can distort the outer edges of your field of view. The frame is very flimsy and you have to 'click' it a LOT to get it into some usable position. By then, you wonder if the 'clicking' over and over will easily wear down. The sides don't move in tandem; you have to keep moving one side then the other to keep them level with each other.Requires 3 AAA batteries (not included). I had to put them in/out several times before the lights would even turn on.A short 'pop' to the on/off button will work, but HOLDING the on/off will NOT work. There are 3 light levels and the brightest is quite bright. I like the 3rd one - the blue light. It provides illumination but is easy on my eyes.I'll use it because I bought it and I can't find anything wrong with it. But it's disappointingly cheap and doesn't magnify entire pages of my textbooks as I need (and I've tried hanging it from the top of the book, etc.).Since I also do artwork - and some of it is quite fine and up close - I can see using this as a hands-free magnifier for artwork. Again, it's not great quality because it's not glass. I'll find a use for it.

This product is a big help in reading the fine print of the New Hork Times.You only need the one unit, with the stand. It's designed so you can remove the magnifying unit fromthe stand and just hold it with our hands. But the stand is helpful if you have problems holding the magnifying unit for long periods of time...

I bought the MagniPros 5X Large LED Page Magnifier for my dad, who has reading difficulties due to glaucoma. This magnifier has made a noticeable difference in his ability to read comfortably and with much less strain. The large viewing area and clear magnification allow him to see the text clearly without constantly repositioning the lens.He especially appreciates the three color lighting modes, which help reduce glare and eye fatigue depending on the time of day or lighting in the room. The anti-glare lens is a thoughtful feature, and the built-in LED lights provide just the right amount of brightness.Overall, my dad is very happy with this product, and I'm grateful that something so simple can make such a big impact on his daily life. Highly recommend for anyone with vision challenges.

The LED magnifying page reader seems well made & does the job. It takes some practice to learn the correct position for a clear image & it can be dizzying until you figure it out. I gave 4 stars only because it can be awkward trying to hold a book & get the magnifier in the right position. It’s definitely working for me though!
