The images appear slightly distorted in an hour glass shape. The lighting is otherwise good and the batteries last a long time. It has a nice compact size and its easy to load and unload slides. Overall, this viewer is ok for sorting through slides.

My husband had wanted a lighted slide viewer in order to filter through 'millions' of old slides of his girls growing up and put them on a DVD. This item is perfect - and it has kept him busy! Great size, easy to operate, and priced right.

Great product. I ordered the AC adapter with it and they work great together. With the AC adapter I can leave the light switched on and just pop slides in and out for viewing. I would definitely recommend this product.

Quick and easy to use which enables you to move quickly through a stack of slides without the bother of setting up a slide projector.

The response to my order was fast, and the product was exactly as it was described. Would recommend.

I came across some 40+ year old slides and wanted an inexpensive viewer to go through them. This Pana-Vue viewer was inexpensive but it does the job -- low tech is sometimes the best option!

Viewer is easy to use and has enough magnification to get a clear look at the slides. It enabled me to finally check numerous slides that had been stored away for a number of years. I no longer have a projector and needed to review slides and get rid of those no longer needed. Am in the process of scanning slides to use in a genealogy project.

Item came in and did not work. I had to mail back (at my expense) to seller who said he would fix. I received item back and, while it works somewhat, you have to press button at least 3 or 4 times before lamp comes on. Item is extremely cheaply made.

This is a product for viewing slides one at a time. It could work a little better. The light does not go on and off as it was designed to do and to turn off the light you have to remove the batteries and the door to the battery compartment falls off and has to be replaced each time. The switch to turn on the light is flimsy - but what the hey, for the amount I spent I guess I got what it was worth.

This is a functional but flimsy slide viewer. It does the job, however, vast improvements could be made at little cost. The incandescent bult should be replaced with a high intensity, white LED. Besides using less current, the LED would virtually last forever. In addition, the bi-metal switch that turns on the light is unreliable. The light came on a couple of times by itself, just due to setting the viewer down. A hermetically sealed, momentary contact switch would solve this problem.
