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.

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.
