1.0 out of 5 stars This magnifier is a junk., March 17, 2006

I don't usually write reviews although I take full advantage of the reviews I find here... shame on me... I will do better. But this magnifier was so nasty that it prompted me to write my first review.

This magnifier minds me of the 70s made-in-China junk. Horrid quality...distorted plastic lens and the plastic handle's battery cover comes off like...a cheap 70's made-in-China junk. The old "made-in-China" looking box it comes in has magified view of map of China showing Shanghai...

This is not a Duro-Med brand magnifier but "Hori" brand (or some similar sounding name...I've returned the darn thing already for refund.) This is a magnifier you might find in some corner alley hole-in-the-wall store in China for $1 and even then it'd be worthless junk not fit for a child's toy.

I have no clue what magnifier the previous reviewer gave 5 stars but it couldn't have been the same one I received. That's totally misleading. Ok, nowI'm done with my rant.

I think it's just what I needed in pinch on my reading table if I don't have my glassed with me. It's very clear and also great for real real small print. Some things Have exceptionally small print.

I have to admit, this thing was pretty bad. I have written one review in the past five years and it was to praise a product. I don't usually complain, but this item was well below expectations. The light assembly on mine was broken when I received it. I've got it downstairs trying to glue it back together, but the design is weak to begin with. It also looks and feels cheap. There was extra plastic from the manufacturing process that I had to trim off of every piece, like a kids model car. Lastly, the finish around the lens on one side is so bad I don't know if a trim ring came off or that is just the way it looks. No other parts were floating around in the box. This is the only thing out of about a dozen orders in December that Amazon flubbed. I'll cut them some slack, it was a $5 dollar item, worth only $2, so if the glue doesn't work I'll just trash it without a return. You don't have to make my same mistake though.
