The Magno DIGITAL is a portable video magnifier that includes a multitude of features and easy-to-use interface to help those with vision loss see objects more clearly. The 5” LCD TFT display provides 5x-12x magnification and offers 5 different high-contrast viewing modes. With bright LED Illumination and 3 color-coded tactile control buttons the Magno DIGITAL is user friendly and easy to operate. The integrated stand allows for 3 different uses: it can be fully retracted for hand-held use, fully extended for placing on reading material and partially extended for writing under the display or for holding objects under the camera like a needle and thread. A protective zippered case, charger, cleaning cloth and lanyard are included with each magnifier. And, for extra protection, the Bumper can be purchased separately. The rubber Bumper wraps around the magnifier to minimize damage if dropped.
Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

Customers are mixed about the quality of the magnifier. Some mention it's an excellent product that works well, while others say that it didn't work upon receipt or charging the battery.
We keep two of these magnifiers, since this was s the only way my husband can read. One is always charging, while he is using the other one. Fantastic for people with low vision!
I have advanced AMD with severe central vision loss, This SnarLux magnifier is indispensible to me. Although it doesn't make reading easy for me, it does make it possible! I use it at home to see controls on kitchen appliances, reading important peices of mail, reading text messages on my phone and countless other things. It makes it possible to find expiration dates on food products, sizes and prices when shopping for clothes, etc. Basically it allows me to be more independant. Over the past 8 years I have purchased 3 of these. The first 2 were purchased from another low vision company. Unfortunately I lost one after several years of use, and another needed some repair long after the warranty had expired. I was thrilled to find this seller on Amazon and ordered one from them. It arrived within a few days. I did need to call the seller's place dof business about a small issue and found the customer service department professional and able to address the problem quickly. I have just ordered a second SmartLux so I can keep one in my purse, and one at home!
This is a life saver for those with low vision. Very happy with the product and the prompt delivery! It multiplies up to 12 times, letting you read even the smallest font.
I ordered the first new reader and had to return when it did not work upon charging the battery. I took the reader to a electronics store and they advised returning to Eschenbach. Thinking the reader was a fluke with an old battery, I ordered a duplicate, but right out of the box and after charging the battery, it again didn't work. So frustrating when my mom needs a reader asap. At least, Eschenbach is receptive to refunding my cost.
I purchased this for my brother who has an eye disease called RP. He is a big gardner and has not been able to read the seed packets in years. He is so excited by this product. It is great that the colors for viewing can be changed. He generally sees white on black best. The price seems a little high, but what price can you put on someone being able to see something? He says it is very simple to use and loves it.
MY WIFE HAS RP.SHE NEEDS TOOLS LIKE THIS ,GOVERMENT TOOK FUNDING AWAY,WE HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET, SHE IS ON DISABILITY,ME ON SSI, WE HAVE A HARD ENOUGH TIME TRYING TO KEEP OUR HEADS OUT OF WATER,OUR GOVERMENT SUCKS,THE ILLEAGLES GET BETTER TREATMENT THAN RED BLOODED AMERICANS.
My Husband loves it. Small enough to fit into his pocket to take to dinner and powerful enough to help him read without assistance. He used it on a cruise. Everyone who saw him use it was impressed with the light as those dining rooms can be dark even for a sighted person. Can't thank you enough.
