This is not a technical review of this magnifying glass, but a user review. As I've gotten older, I've finally reached the point where a magnifying glass is often helpful for close or detailed examination of an item, as well as necessary for fine print. Over the past two or three years, I've acquired three or four different magnifying glasses from Amazon.
The unit I was using previously did a good job of magnifying and had even LED lighting all around the lens, but was a little unwieldy to use and not particularly well-built--I had frequent problems with the light switch and electrical connections. I also wanted a larger viewing area. Looking for a larger unit, I found this glass--and though it was more costly that my previous one, decided to give it a try.
This glass is about 30% larger than my last unit--4 7/8 inch measured diameter of the lens rather than 3 3/4 inch. Although the actual lens magnification is a little less, the field of view is much larger which is what I wanted. it provides a clearer view as well. The lighting on this unit is four bright LEDs at the top of the handle rather than encircling the lens, so it is more localized and not as even as with my other glass, but it is bright and certainly adequate. Although considerably larger, this glass is actually lighter than my previous unit and is easier to hold and handle. It appears to be a better-built unit, and to date I've had no issues with it. The small high-powered "lens within the lens" can be a little difficult to use, but has been helpful on a couple occasions to boost magnification of particularly tiny items. Overall I believe this is a good magnifying glass.

Description not quite as described...
It's okay, but this is not quite as described. The lens material is not glass. It's some kind of acrylic material. It's a type of fresnel lens, that you can see the grooves as you read a book. It also catches every dust particle in the grooves.The light does work really well for night reading. It would work far better on flat objects, however books have a slight curve, so you do need to move it a little as you read to adjust the clarity.I am not sure how long the batteries work, as I just got it. I do prefer the 2nd setting.Overall, I give it 3 stars. I will keep it mostly for two reasons.1. Returns are a challenge in my rural area.2. I use my kindle more often than actual books. I intend to use this mostly for library books, so it's not a total waste.
