Smaller than advertised, but works fine.,

This review is from: Large 4" Magnifying Glass 4X Optics (Health and Beauty)
I bought this for my husband, who said he wanted a BIG magnifying glass. He is very happy with it. But I was worried when I first opened the box because it is smaller than I expected. The glass is 3.5 inches. I don't know how they can advertise it as 4 inches. Even if you include the black plastic rim, it's just under 3.75 inches.

coke bottle green tint,

The glass has a coke bottle green tint to it, its not clear like you see in the example picture. The frame and handle are plastic, not a hard plastic that would chip or crack, but a softer flexible plastic. The magnifying glass I received had a small chip on the outer rim of the glass. Made and assembled in China. Packaged in a blister pack.The glass is a nice size, just wish it was clear.

It's an okay magnifying glass. I bought it for when my reading glasses won't let me see small details.Pros: - it came quickly - adequate size (but, like someone else said, even the outer frame diameter is only about 3 3/4") Cons: - it doesn't magnify 3x (unless you tilt it to stretch out the image), it's closer to 2x - plenty of rough mold seams for the plastic frame and handle. Yes I've smoothed it out myself, but shouldn't have to. I should have gotten one with a small high magnifying inset lense for the really small stuff, but I'll keep this one.

Just What I Was Looking For,

I bought this for my almost 5 yr. old granddaughter. The diameter was just right for capturing nature items outside, and the magnification was enough that she actually enjoyed seeing more detail in different items. It seems very sturdily made.

We bought this for our 89 year old aunt who is battling macular degeneration. She loves it. Enough said!

Nice quality, but not 4X,
By Old Fogey (New York) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Large 4" Magnifying Glass 4X Optics (Health and Beauty)
This made-in-China magnifier enlarges up to about double the size of the object, so it's about 2X, not 4X. Having said that, it also has some nice features.The housing and handle are hard plastic. The handle is about 8 cm (3.2 inches) long; I would prefer it a little longer to fit my hand better, but the length is acceptable. The lens is glass, not plastic. The glass lens makes it a little heavier than some similar magnifiers: mine weighs 153 grams (5.4 ounces). I don't find this weight troublesome. The diameter of the viewable area is about 98 mm (3.75 inches). The lens distorts the image virtually not at all, right up to the edges, which makes this an excellent reading glass. Generally I'm pleased, and give it four stars instead of five only because it clearly doesn't give the 4X magnification that the Amazon description and the packaging claim.

Save your money,

This is really poor quality. When I received it I noticed that the lens was dirty and had what appeared to be a mark or defect in the glass. I tried to clean it with glass cleaner and the lens just fell out onto my counter top and was smashed. It took quite a while to clean up the broken glass pieces. I have to believe there are much better quality magnifying glasses out there. Save your money and find one.

I did not think this was a true 4 inch and it was not as strong as a 4x glass that I had seen before

I use this at work every day...and gave my cheesy plastic OfficeMax magnifying glass (which cost a lot more) away to some poor bas... I mean, guy. I have never regretted it. The other guy might.

I bought this for my mom who suffers from macular degeneration. She has trouble with the newspaper, phone book and any print items such as these. This product is helping her tremendously. It is very sturdy and does the job. Highly recommend.
