Carson MiniBrite 3x Power LED Lighted Slide Out Magnifier with Protective Sleeve (PO-25)

Very good product for older people like a lot easier to read the small print especially medicine bottles comes with an automatic light that as you’re using it lights up to what you’re reading and the screen very good I’m enjoying

Very good product recommend to customers

The magnifier is the perfect balance of price, size, and usability. The 3x magnification is excellent for older eyes or reading fine print. I also have a 5x vision, but I prefer the 3x, as it allows a greater field of view and is more forgiving when trying to focus.The light is bright but not blinding, and kudos to the designers for using longer-lasting 3x AAA batteries instead of the weaker (and typically harder to replace) "button batteries" that many similar designs use.It fits easily into my front pants pocket and is unobtrusive for those times when you need some visual help but don't want to scream to the rest of the restaurant that you have difficulty seeing small type.

Overall, this small lighted magnifier is not bad, although I can foresee problems with the battery compartment which may ultimately cause this magnifier to fail completely.The magnifying glass is nice and clear, and free from distortions. The light provides a nice bright white light when the case if fully open. These two features alone make it worth the price here on amazon prime. The case itself is made of a very thin plastic and one needs to be careful when opening and closing the unit, otherwise damage will occur. Still, it is small enough to fit in a purse or a pocket--being not too bulky but, just the right size. Unfortunately, I do have a few concerns.Like other reviewers here have pointed out, the battery cover is made of extremely thin plastic and one needs to be careful when opening or closing it, otherwise it will crack. The primary concern though is the fact that fitting the three AAA batteries into their respective slots is freightingly difficult. I cannot imagine how difficult it will be to remove them--yikes! And once the batteries are securely in their slots, the thin plastic battery cover fits on so tightly that it has a slight "bulge" to it. This slight bulge makes sliding the outer cover (which exposes the lens and light) over the battery case cover difficult. It is for these reasons that I am concerned about how long this magnifier will last.Despite the aforementioned concerns, considering the price, I am still pleased with my purchase and would recommend it. In fact, now that I own the 3X powered one, I have ordered the 5X one as well.

Love this magnifier! I've ordered at least 15 of them in the past 5 years. My dear friend is visually impaired and these handy magnifiers are perfect for him!

This 3X magnifier looks EXACTLY like the 5X product. Since 3X works fine for me to read the fine print on retail store shelf tags, I will return the 5X magnifier I was imagining would help me read product labels.I love the size and how it fits nicely in my pocket while I shop. I love the way the cover slides shut to protect the lense while it is in my pocket. Good job with that design aspect.As a senior, my memory and vision are both poor. Please print the magnification strength boldly on the outside of the cover where it can be easily read at a glance high-contrast ink would be ideal, or at least a large, bold imprint in the plastic.

It is lightweight but has a pretty powerful light on the magnifier. It slides up from the side grips, which keeps the magnifier from getting scratched.

I bought this to carry in my purse for unfortunately it’s quite heavy and I don’t like a heavy purse. It works well in low light because it gives you light to see what the writing is.
