is it really 10x magnification or is it the 5x that customer say it is?

Well the box states that one side is entirely a regular mirror and the opposite side has a 10x magnification with a small 15x magnification insert. I believe it's true.

I checked my other mirror which is only 10x. It appears the customer may be correct about 5X magnification. When I compare the the two, my image in the Jerdon is smaller, but still large enough to do some very good tweezing. It could be that the smaller built-in mirror provides 10x magnification, I'm not sure. It's certainly enough for up close needs. Since it swivels, you can have the magnification at the top or the bottom for your own personal comfort. It is a good mirror & built well. I'm glad I purchased it. I tweeze every day & am a perfectionist about how I look. I can't go a single day without tweezing (unfortunately). I checked my other mirror which is only 10x.

This product is fabulous. As far as I'm concerned it's 10x. And the smaller oval is defitely 15x. The 3 different light levels is perfect. And the price is right.

It's fixed. That's why it says 4x30 and not 4-10x30 (or similar). "4x magnification; 30mm objective lens"

The eyepieces are 10mm and 20mm. The 10 gives a 30x and the 20 gives 15x magnification.

It is described as 3x so I assume it magnifies things 3 times as big. When I look through it, I would say that seems right. It is not very big but handy to carry with you, if that is enough magnification.

Not exactly - the lens is 2x. There is a small circle in the lens that is 5x. So, you can position the lens over your work so that you are looking through the 5x circle.

It is variable, from 1.75 to 5 - it depends on how far away the lamp is from the item: 1.75 if up close to the glass, 5x if a foot away - more than a foot away and focus begins to be lost. I use it for modelling and its about as good as it gets.

No it is a 2X magnification with a 5X bifocal area ( about the size of a half dollar) for fine detail

Hi Marcia, sorry, I'm not too sure, probably only 2x or 4x, it suits me as I was not looking for something overly powerful, it is a great looking magnifying glass and good quality also....cheers Rob

It says 2.3X on Amazon Ad. I was looking for 3-5X hand magnifiers when I bought these. Sorry I threw away the box and gave away the others. This is a good purchase because the bright 6 lights allows you to see things even with less magnification. Light make a huge difference. Again sorry. I keep my orders but gave my hard copy away to a friend so they could buy some.

No, it's much smaller but it also isn't 5x optical zoom, it's digital so I sent it back

Should read 2.5X magnification. The large portion makes object look 2-and-a-half times bigger, and the small round spot at the center bottom of the lens maginfies 6 times.

They claim it's an 80x optical zoom, but I would have to check their website again.

Not sure exactly. It just states it is 5 times optical grade magnifier. Looked at the box and paper work inside and that's all it says.

I did not save the box, and the Magnifer itself doesn't say what the magnification is. I would hazard the guess that it is 2X or 3X, with greater magnification in a small spot within the larger glass. Whatever the magnification is, I find it to be what I need for doing beading work...but I am nearsighted and so don't need much correction to do close-up work. Someone who is farsighted, or who uses reading glasses, might need something stronger. I hope this helps!

The magnification is 1x on one side and 10x on the other side. Very good-quality mirror--no waviness.

Dear Bruce, At the moment we do not have a sensor mirror with a higher magnification than 5X. We do however appreciate your feedback and I will pass this along to the team. We hope that our products can continue to serve you well for the years ahead. Best, simplehuman

Yes, though its 5x magnification is a bit high for reading menus extensively.2x magnification might be more appropriate, depending on your vision.
