Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

The ottlite magnifier has a built-in light. The light is bright and the magnification is awesome! Do use caution when adjusting the magnifier. After having cataract surgery, the brightness of this lamp helps me to see what i am working on.

The lighting is good. My other ott light is 20+ years old!

There's no chance of this thing topping over! It's a tad heavy but has been a huge assist to me! Very sturdy lamp.

The champagne finish is attractive, though with its three octopus arms, i cannot go as far as to call it stylish. It feels nice to the touch, it doesn't collect dust or gunk (like goosenecks) thank you for honoring your warranty as it renews my trust ...  Read More



Cons

The magnifying lens sits much too high. The floor stand is awkward to move and becomes easily unbalanced.

Shipping


The light arrived in a timely manner (3-5 days) and i assembled it right away and put it to use.

Packaging/appearance


I also saved the box to repack it safely in case of a move if ever necessary.


*the packaging was overly secure - i am not complaining; but it took me over 15 minutes just to open box;*very easy to assemble...  Read More

Competitiveness


Therefore i can once again recommend ottlite products, especially to crafters and hobbyists.


Ottlite basically claimed it was user error, and therefore wouldn’t honor their warranty.


My advice is to consider competitors, which may in the end, be a better bargain.
