A lot of comments say that the mirror does not have true 10x magnification. Could you please confirm that the mirror has 10x and 15x magnification.

Yes it does. On the side with the 10x magnification there is a small mirror on the bottom that is 15x.

See my explanation on 4/18/13. Really a nice mirror, my only complaint was I need added lighting but if I had to do it over again---I'd still buy this one. It is a 2 sided mirror---l magnification on l side, 2 on the other---with the 15 being that smaller area on the 2nd side!!! Hope that helps......

The mirror was 10x magnification on the larger portion of the mirror and the 15x is in the smaller mirror portion.

Agree that it's probably not the magnification they say it is. My issue is that the light is not strong enough.
1491614
I honestly cannot say if it is 10x and 15x magnification. It does magnify greatly. I like it and use it everyday.
1491615
Yes the magnification is great the only problem is the small mirror falls out after a few uses because the mirror heats up from the light ... I still use it with a gaping hole in it lol

Shelly, I'm sorry, I'm not sure what you're asking? I don't believe I said anything about "power". I was very disappointed with the mirror. The lighting is fine. The 5X mirror is very distorted for me. I can't use it. I use just the lights and another makeup mirror. The mirror does plug in.

This mirror consists of both magnified and non-magnified. The top mirror (without lights surrounding it) is "natural" non-magnified and the bottom mirror is magnified. Came in handy again this weekend on the girls float trip! Very happy with my purchase.

It appears that you must already know the answer. I have one and it is limited in it's vision spectrum. I find a simple small round mirror is better.

That is correct. One side is magnified and the other is a standard mirror. Hope this helps. Bob

there is no magnification on the large surfaced mirror. it is a true image mirror; what you see is what you get/have

I turned my light on and adjusted it to see. I am not an expert but can only tell you what I do see when I adjust the lighted magnifying glass to different distances and it appears to magnify the specific items one focuses on to three times larger. Bear in mind I already wear glasses so this is what I see wearing my glasses and I do realize that it is different under different circumstances and different distances. What is important to me is that I can adjust the distant to what is helpful and applicable to my sight. At the same time I can only assume it will be the same for others

We didn't save the box it was shipped in, but in my review I stated the magnification was 3x. I probably got that number from the specs on the side of the box when we got it. Mom has used it every day since it arrived and loves it. To be certain about the magnification, you should probably confirm it with the manufacturer.

I would say yes because of the magnification. But that is why I love this mirror because the magnification is so amazing!

This is a great mirror. I've owned several of this model mirror with different magnifications. Well made.

The mirror does not magnify. The size can be found under the Product Details, and it is 0.9 x 7 x 9.2 inches.

Hello Joy,The magnification of this product is 2X. Complete information about it can be found at the following URL: http://www.opticsplanet.com/carson-magnifold-lighted-magnifier-mj50.htmlIf you need more magnification, try the more compact 5X magnification "Carson® 5x MiniBrite LED Lighted Slide-Out Aspheric Magnifier with Protective Sleeve (PO-55)" Also sold by Amazon.I own both of them and use them both of them everyday, and they are each extremely useful!I hope this is helpful to you!Matt K

Yes, but you may be disappointed by the result. The barlow lens will boost the magnification with the 10mm eyepiece to 80x. Even if everything in your scope is in good alignment you'll probably find that the picture at 80x is noticeably fuzzy. Unfortunately, not every one of these telescopes seems to be aligned well at the factory, so you may find the 80x image in yours is much worse than that. The Travel Scope 70 is really made for low-power views, and Celestron is to be commended for not making exaggerated claims about high powers. The 20mm (20x) and 10mm (40X) eyepieces that come with the telescope are good choices. Yes, but you may be disappointed by the result.

Hi Sharon. The magnification depends on what you are using it for. For tweezing, you want high magnification. To see the tiniest of hairs. To put on makeup because of bad eyesight? Maybe not so much. I went to Bed Bath and Beyond (or really whatever store carries magnifying mirrors) and tested them out first to see what magnification I needed. 10x is perfect for me for tweezing. I hope this helps you! Good Luck!

Mine works just fine. I don't understand "too good". The mirror is what matters. The telescope has a great mirror for the price. 3X is what I have. I like the zoom lens best. It is the easiest to work with.

I believe 1X will provide slight magnification beyond what you see in a regular mirror. The mirror I ordered has a 7X magnification on the other side and it is wonderful!

No, there is no normal magnification, only 5X. This mirror is really a great mirror! I don't miss having a smaller magnification mirror.
