5.0 out of 5 stars Unexpected surprise!
I bought this on a whim while buying a couple of those little round coin magnifiers. Once I used this, I threw my new and old little circle magnifiers in the trash. Great light, larger magnifier surface. Much easier and much better than those little magnifiers for coins, stamps, any little treasure.

I recently ordered this magnifier for my mother and her coin collecting hobby. Sadly, when it showed up, it was not quite what we expected. First up, the unit we received was defective. The light would not turn on...and even smoked a tiny bit when we first powered it up.

This review is from: Lighted 3.5" Glass Dome Magnifier - 5X Magnification (Misc.)
I recently ordered this magnifier for my mother and her coin collecting hobby. Sadly, when it showed up, it was not quite what we expected. First up, the unit we received was defective. The light would not turn on...and even smoked a tiny bit when we first powered it up.

Second, it was very cheaply made. There were scuffs and scratches around the housing, the batteries would not fit into their compartment properly, and the light was a regular small bulb (not LED, like many magnifiers).

In short, this is a very cheaply made unit.

I should have believed in one of the reviews of this item. The magnifier arrived with the light detached from where it should be. Even my friend managed to fixed the light, the overall quality of this item is low. Out of the many products that I bought from Amazon, this is the only one that disappointed. Amazon offers many types of magnifier, don't buy this one unless you are prepared for disappointment. I did not want to return the product since I live in Bangkok Thailand, if I were in the US, I would certainly return the product and ask for a refund.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the Money, June 5, 2011

This review is from: Lighted 3.5" Glass Dome Magnifier - 5X Magnification (Misc.)
I was given one of these magnifying glasses a few years ago, I use it all the time at work for reading small drawings and print. I've since bought a second glass to use at home, and bought a couple more for people at work who liked mine and wanted one. The detachable light is cheaply made and falls off easily - so I took it off my first glass and threw it away. The lens is very good and the overall construction is good. The 5X magnification is a little more than a regular magnifying glass, which makes it very useful. As far as I'm concerned this definately worth the $5 plus shipping that I paid for it.

I found this product to be an absolute nightmare. The light causes a glare on the area of magnification. It is clearly flimsy and cheaply made. I ended up buying a different magnifier which works very well unlike this one. If your trying to choose the right magnifier, don't pick this one!
