It works, but----,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: i-vu (Health and Beauty)
My major gripe with the magnifier is the so-called instructions. A single piece of paper printed on one side that only shows a picture of the machine and identifies the control buttons, but almost nothing about the actual use of the buttons. For instance one of the keys brings up a menu that has two items on it; one of them is "Brightness." When you push the thing to activate that control, all that happens is the word "Brightness" appears on the screen with sort of a sunburst beneath it. Any manipulation of that button by itself or in combinatiion with other buttons does nothing to alter the brightness.The instruictions do say to charge the batteries before using the unit. Inserting the rechargable batteries is straightforward enough, but when the charger is plugged in the lights blink now and then, but there is no indication what that means, or any way to know when the batteries are indeed chanrged. I am putting it in a fire-proof container and leaving it hooked to the charger overnight to see what happens. If it doesn't burn up, I'm betting that the lights will still be blinking now and then. If so, I shall presume that it is charged. However, wouldn't it be nice to know? The center button will freeze an image on the screen. I tried it with numbers in the phone book. At minimum (5X) magnification I could get a complete phone number displayed DIAGONALLY across the little screen. By freezing it I suppose it could be useful to have when actually dialing the number. Had the instructions contained even a slight amount of useful information, and had the product been delivered on time, I probably would have rated it with 4 stars. I think the manufacturer and retailer of the I-VU should be very ashamed of the so-called instructions for this machine.

Excellent magnifier,
By Larry H (Buffalo, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: i-vu (Health and Beauty)
The i-Vu does everything it claims to do, and does so quite well. The screen is bright and the backlight is nicely adjustable. The depth of focus is not critical, allowing for easy placement and use on flat surfaces, and pretty easy use on 3D objects as well. The range of magnification (5-20X) is well suited to the screen size and hand use. The device is very compact, has good battery power, and quite simple to use for someone with reasonable vision. It should be pretty easy to learn for someone with very low vision.The instructions are, indeed, a train wreck. Even the newer booklet still lacks even basic info as to the brigthness adjustment settings, status bar, icons which are displayed and what they mean, the very nice but totally undocumented calibrated graticule showing actual sclae (1.1 to 5.4 mm in 10 subdivisions), battery details (nickel hydride, alkaline, nicad, lithium??). It is really so very unfortunate that such a really excellent product lacks documentation, but the product CAN BE understood and totally "figured-out" with some time and effort on the part of the user. The ONLY improvements I would personally prefer would be a wider scale of magnification (specifically 2X to 20X) rather than the present 4X to 20X) and better low light performance for use without the built-in illuminators. These are relatively minor nits, and I would personally recommend this magnifiier very highly, witholding a full 5 stars only for the reasons cited above.

Portable magnifier,

Definately a step up from a magnifiing glass but has a limited range the focal point must be exact or it is fuzzy. All in all I think it is an interesting toy for looking at bugs etc...
