Is it easy to use? I'm looking for one for my 90 yr. old mother who has low vision issues.

It would not be easy for someone with low vision. The on/off button is on the side and tiny and I sometimes have trouble finding it.

i'm glad you put the age in, she might get a little ancious about the "off/on" switch. it's so small, but the rest would be easy for her to use, the dials roll and it's cute. the time dial would be of no use to her, you need big numbers. bjr

Yes I found it very easy to use and I am 78 so hopefully your mother will cope too.

My 6 and 7 year old daughters figured out how to use it without any help so it is easy to use. The buttons are small and can be hard to read, however once one used it a few times could remember the buttons.

Easy to use but I would not waste my money. Poor product and quit working after the third CD was played.

Yes, I purchased this for my father, who is completely blind. He exercises and was tired of asking my mother how much he weighted. He has had no trouble using it. He has place it in a corner in his bathroom and hasn't had any problems stepping up on it. The voice is loud and clear.

"Useable yes, easy no" is my experience. If the sunlight is really bright, it is hard to see the red dot. Not a problem if you are doing simple distance measurements, but triangulation did not work well for me. It's great on a moonlit night!

Extremely easy; it comes with directions/drawing and it should not take you more than 10 minutes. I did it and I am 71 years old.

I think this is the greatest mirror. I honestly, have 3 of them and could not be without (I am 50 and can't do much anymore without the help of my glasses), but this you can do easily without glasses. Hope you give it a try -- I have tried lessor magnifications, and those were not good -- 15x is terrific. Hope this helps you.

I believe it is. It is very clear and my mother is losing her sight. She said its the best thing ever. Very nice - would recommend to anyone. Also very dependable.

I wish I had used this more, but my recollection is just the smaller loupe. No, I would not find it suitable for a 91 year with eye degeneration. I think it may be better to spend a little more money (if possible) to find something more comfortable & easier for reading. I bought this to use to look at antique beads, and even that I found difficult! Wish I could be more help, Lynne

Not at all. From the description, it is supposed to help people with imperfect vision. I found it pretty useless as I have 20/20. It further seemed like I was looking down a paper towel roll. I am very interested in their other magnifier which can work with a variety of others. Primary Arms makes one but I haven't seen any side by side comparisons.

it's not difficult, but if your mom has dexterity problems then any of the hearing amplifiers may not be easy if she's changing them herself. My husband hands me his when the battery dies, and i use my fingernail to flip the little tab on the end of the device and the battery door swings open. I want to add that this particular device is about the best one i've bought staying under $100 --- my husband is prone to losing his, so i end up buying about 1 every 2-3 months.

In general I never keep it in My eye for any extended period of time, but I have to say that I've noticed no discomfort in the times that I have used it it certainly has good resolution and I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again. It turned out to be a little bit larger than I had anticipated as I was looking for a small pocket monocular, But that's made up for in its clarity and range of vision. In general I think you'll like it Jane, good luck

It is a good question! I have just begun to use mine with glasses and have had a challenging time getting the focus right. BUT when I do get it right, wonderful!!! Just play with it until it suits you. (My grandkids have been known to borrow mine. 7 years old, so acute vision, utterly unlike mine!)

Really easy. Modern TV's are very intuitive. Minimal assembly of stand, hook up cable & turn it on. It'll search for available stations automatically. You can use the remote to adjust sound, picture etc.

Very easy. You will need to purchase 2 inch visual back. I actually ordered the CPC 925 and the two inch eyepieces work very well with that.

Maybe Dennis is a senior, or maybe he is just helping a senior with the selection. I am trying to find something for my parents, who are 80-ish. They had a computer a while back for word processing, but have never gone online. I know they would love it if they had a very user-friendly machine. Dennis, did you find something good? I'd love to know.

Very easy my mother who is 80 uses it. There r features she might not use daylight and nighttime lighting . There is no manual that comes with it. On internet

Connecting the device to the tv was not difficult. It is easy to switch between the device and tv if you are able to select inputs or devices with your tv remote. We purchased this device for my Father who has vision issues, with it he is able to continue reading on his own.
