Customer Reviews

great addition to your purse
Love the Great point light pocket magnifier! works great, especially if you forget your glasses and can't read the menu when you are out for dinner.... the light is a bonus in a dark restaurant, too. I would have given 5 stars if it came with a case that covers the glass. The clear plastic case it comes in is a little tacky and I'd be willing to pay a little more for a nice case to protec the lens.

Faulty switch?
Purchased one of these about 6 months ago for my legally blind, 88 year old father who lives in a retirement community. Worked like a charm for reading dinner menus, dials on the washer and dryer, etc. BUT he gave it back to me a week ago, saying the batteries needed replacement. Bought precisely the same batteries that were in it, but as soon as the battery cover is replaced, the light comes on and stays on. I cannot get the light to turn off. This leads me to believe the switch is faulty as no fiddling changes this situation. Now I'm back to Square One, looking for another portable lighted magnifying glass.

Very handy, works well
I only gave this 4 stars instead of 5, because of the packaging it comes in. The plastic is sharp & isn't that easy to carry in your bag without stabbing yourself on it, but without the plastic box, the magnifier would get very scratched. I may discard the plastic box, but keep the magnifier in something soft, like a small sock. Otherwise, the magnifier works great.
