Pros & Cons
Pros
This magnifier sits right where i need it to in order to work on my lap, no matter where i am. Provides good light and magnification. Takes some getting used to with the extra little magnifier in the middle at the bottom.
This magnifying light is very useful for beading. It's perfect for needlework and i have cataracts. It definitely works to make needlepointing easier.
It sits anywhere on my chest, tighten or loosen the cord. Ott is a wonderful brand and i own several of their products.
Cons
Ottlite is a great brand, but this product is just so-so. Even with a new set of batteries, it is frustrating. Bad magnifiers, bad to wear.
This is my first ottlight and the brightness is disappointing. The light bulbs are very weak. The lights are far too dim to help me sew in the evening.
The light only shows on part of the magnifying glass. Granted, this one has magnification, which is important. The area of extra magnification is too small for doing anything, and it sits right in the way so i can't use the entire magnifier for my wor... Read More
Highlights
Quality
Works great for crafts, is very light weight, and good magnification.
The large magnifier makes it perfect for handwork, the smaller built in magnifier is perfect for super fine detail work.
It's not big enough to actually provide any useful assistance; i can't see a big enough area of my work to make it worth using.
I have been using ottlite products for years and find them to be well made, and this magnifier is no different.
Shipping
It came quickly and in good shape
Competitiveness
For these reasons, i bought this one, assuming an ottlite product would be good.
I had another brand that i bought at a local store.
