KODAK35mm Slide and Film Viewer - Battery Operation, 3X Magnification, LED Lighted Viewing – for 35mm Slides & Film Negatives

This worked beautifully. Very easy to use.

I recently sorted old slides from my parents' estate. Not having a carousel slide projector, and not wanting to spend $100s on purchasing one, I took a shot and purchased this little slide viewer. It takes some time to load each slide manually to view and they do get stuck from time to time, but for what I expected it do, it met expectations and allowed me to view all of my slides economically. The brightness was absolutely sufficient as was the picture quality. Liked the fact that it works with USB or batteries. Worked very well for what I needed.

I have slides that I need to go through but didn’t want to invest in a projector. So I got this small one concerned that it wouldn’t be strong enough. I was pleasantly surprised! It really did the trick! I can see the slides clearly! The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is you only see one slide at a time.

Don't listen to those claiming that their slides get stuck in this machine. Just one of mine stuck but only momentarily and it was my fault, not the machine's.When you want to drop the slide out you must press the release button and KEEP IT PRESSED IN UNTIL THE SLIDE DROPS OUT. If you let go of the button before the slide clears the mechanism then it will clamp on the slide border/frame, holding it in place until you press the button again. It's not rocket science, folks.It's a nice machine that I'm very happy with and a plus is that it comes with a USB cord, electrical plug not included but we all have many hanging around. The cord is not very long but it does the trick. Takes 4 AA batteries, an electrical adapter, or the provided USB. It's Kodak but still made in China however it feels sturdy and well built.

The device itself is simple in design and, in theory, easy to use. However, the picture viewing screen is very small and limits the detail you can see in the slide you're viewing. Brightness is adequate and allows for viewing of darker slides. It comes with a USB power cord which can plug into a laptop or PC to operate the backlight, opposed to inserting 4 AA batteries. My main complaint is that is is very difficult to eject the slide from the viewer. Either the design of the ejection system or the button you push to do so doesn't work well and it usually takes several attempts to get the slide out so you can insert a new one. Often I have to pick up the viewer and tilt it downward and tap sharply on the side while pushing the button before the slide comes out and falls into the little tray area. Frankly, I would not buy this again or recommend it. I would look for a projector to view slides even though they are hard to find and more expensive.

It is the same type but different brand that I had before. Does the job--I can finally see my slides again. Nothing compares to the old wall projectors--but this is fine for me. I'm happy.

It worked great and was so simple to use. Press a button to turn it on, put the slide in the slot, look through a nice 4 inch viewing area and then press the eject button to pop out. I think the quality is great, not cheaply made. It’s fun!

This item mostly met expectations, although the slide pass through was inconsistent even with firm pressure applied to the pass through button.The other issue I had was with the brightness of the background lighting. It would be helpful were it either brighter or adjustable to allow for better viewing of darker slides.In all though it enabled me to view older slides that I had not looked at In many years. If I could give 3-1/2 stars I would have done that versus 3.
