My vision is very very limited and this device is a life-saver. It allows me to read the daily newspaper without having to hold a magnifying glass. Even though it is portable, I leave it up on my dining room table for convenience so that I can just slide over and use it anytime I like (my mobility is limited too). I needed a little help to set it up because my eyesight is so bad. But overall it is a very helpful device, well worth the money.

My Mom has been using Snow 12 for a year.The Snow product is easy use for her. She is 65 years old now and her vision is poor for years.
Oleg Geary –
I had a magnifier from other company. That one was nice but not as big as SNOW 12. I love the large screen. Comparing with my old one, the image in SNOW 12 is much more clearer and higher contrast. The best thing is no blur when I move my book and read. My old one was blurry if I do that.
Charrie –
Snow 12 is the best magnifier for me. I used two electronic magnifiers before. As a reading device, a larger screen and comfortable reading angle are important. Snow 12 did it!
Peter –
A salesman from the low vision store near me came to my house for the demonstration of Snow 12. He also brought me a 12 inch item from Humanware and another one device from Optelec. Those two units are too complicated to use, so that I ordered the Snow 12. I spent ten or 15 minutes to learn how to use it. The image is sharpe and the price is reasonable. I referred it to my good friend last week.
Esther –
I purchased SNOW 12 for my student. He uses it for reading and writing. It can save many files and photos. He sometimes uses the speech function. Snow helps him a lot in his study.
Helen –
Snow 12 is my second digital magnifier from Zoomax. I love the small Zoomax Snow. Both of them are greatly helpful in my life. Thank you for your excellent service and product!
Jonathan –
I bought SNOW 12 for my Grandma as Thanks Giving gift. She has been using it for about 1 year. She said the product perfoms very well. Whenever she had any question, she talked with the ZOOMAX people and they are really helpful.
Mayer –
I bought SNOW 12 and Luna 6 for my Dad. He prefers Snow 12. Its screen is bigger and the external stand is helpful when he reads a book. The luna 6 is kept by him, too. He uses it when he is in the kitchen or bedroom while trying to get the information on the bottles.
Robert –
Zoomax Snow was my favorite. I used the Snow for many years. When I wanted to buy a magnifier with big screen, I decided to buy the SNOW 12. Now. I have two Snow!
Clark –
I just got the Snow 12 today. It looks amazing! Everything in the box is awsome. After trying it out for a while, I regret being lacking of this wonderful product in the past few years. I can’t wait to say thanks to your company. This is my best investment!
Olivia –
One of my eyes is legally blind. Zoomax Snow 12 helps me study with high-efficiency at school. Thanks to the assistive technology, I am able to continue my study. It means a lot for me!
Jill –
My Dad had a ZOOMAX SNOW 7. It helps him read everyday. It is also good when he needs to sign his name on the bill. But for more writing, SNOW 12 is much useful. There is the space, so that he could write as before when he had normal vision.
Patricia –
I have a student using ZOOMAX SNOW 12. This device is a good helper for him. He reads faster and is able to complete his homework every day. He is now thinking of buying another Snow 12, so that he could have one at home and another one at school. I am so glad that I recommended the SNOW 12 to him when he asked me for help. The reason of writing this comment is to tell the kids that this product is absolutely necessary for student with vision loss. They will catch up in the class and find it easier to continue the schooling.
Mary –
SNOW12 is good for my son. It helps him read and write. He loves to draw underneath as well.
Hellen –
This device is a great help for my son. He found it easy to use at the first trial. We are glad that he is able to read and write quickly now. We would like to recommend this digital magnifier to the parents who is looking for vision aids for their kids.
William –
My Mom is 85 years old. She used the small Snow for many years. We thought the large-screen video magnifier would work better for her when she reads the book. So we tried the Snow 12 and she loved it.
George –
I had a SNOW 7 for many years. When looking for a magnifier with bigger size, I went to Zoomax again. The girl who provided service was friendly and helpful! She recommended me the Snow 12 and told me everything I wanted to know. She also sent me the instuctional videos in case Ineed them. Thank you for your good product and excellent service!
Colin –
I received the Snow 12 yesterday night. I can’t help lpening the box. Everything was well packed and the device looked nice. The instruction video on web was greatly helpful. I am now using it skifully. With the help the device, I found my reading becomes much easier as I expected.
Dr. Mike –
One of my patients recomended the Zoomax vision magnifier to me. I introduce it to some of other patients. They all like it. It is not complicated at all, very easy to use. Almost all other video magnifier with large-size screen are all-in-one design. The SNOW 12 is different. You could use the external stand when doing writing and reading. In case you wish to take the screen only when going outside, you can just leave the stand indoors. It saves the weight of your backpack. The image of this device is superior which is crucial for people with vision loss.
Joan –
I had been using SNOW 12 for 3 years. Good quality! This device is more than a vision helper. It actually my life helper.
Jenny –
I love writing.I felt hand writing expresses something truly from my heart. Typing on the keyboard doesn’t give such intuition. Everyday I spend 1 hour with my Snow magnifier writing down what I observe and think. That is a wonderful time.
Ellis –
The Zoomax SNOW works perfectly for me! I have a desktop device. But it is impossible to carry it with me when going for vacation. Snow is quite portable.
Richard –
We own two Snow 12. My daughter use one at school and one at home. She love to use this equipment. It helps her finish the homework everyday. The screen is big enough and the image is super good for her.
Mary –
We have been looking for a video magnifier for my daughter since last month. She tried out couples of devices and finally chose the Zoomax SNOW 12. The weight and size of the product is just good for her. Being able to write under the screen also helps her greatly when doing homework.
Thomas –
I want to give comment of the Snow 12, because it does great help for me. It just fit in my backpack and easy to fold. This is cool when I go for work. I love the large screen and sharp image as well. I woiuld never continue my work if I didn’t buy this device. Thanks, you guys understand what we need!
Sam –
Super cool products! Thanks! I am living with peripheral vision. Your Snow 12 does a great help for me everyday.
Ella –
I review and recommend low visiion aids to the patients with low vision. Snow 12 is one of the best electronic magnifiers I recently looked into, Super clear image and easy to use. The home setting is excellent that everything is easily to be found there. The stand is stable and really helpful when you write something under the camara. Hope you will add a distance camera soon for students to look at the blackboard.
Isabela –
I have macular degeneration. This item magnifies the books and many things around. Now, I am learning to draw and paint. The briliant color brings me happiness.
Gabby –
I love to read but I the magnification on the optical magnifier is distorted. Somy friend suggested the digital magnifier to me. This magnifier covers more reading area as expected, and the image is flat, no more distortion! This is what I have been looking for and I love it so much!
Kat –
My grandma suffers from severe macular degeneration. As an avid reader ,she used to read with the help of the optical magnifier. However, it makes her tired. She had to be very close to the magnifier and the book. Sometimes, she even felt dizzy. This device is really good as alternative. Easy to use and large screen, the storage capacity is strong. I also helpped her save some e-books in this digital magnifier for her to read anywhere.
Frank –
Very helpful for me. I am studying in the college. The optical magnifier can’t not fully help me at school. I was told the large screen electronic magnifier may be a good alternative. A teacher recommended me this item. Using it for a week, I would say it is just the right choice. Plan to buy another one with smaller size for use on the go. Now, considering the Luna 6.
Fiona –
The New Year Gift for my Dad, who is living with AMD and needs a reading aids as suggested by the eye doctor. Snow 12 works for him and he uses it everyday! Thank you!
Mildred –
My brother has macular degeneration. He has been looking for an appropriate video magnifier and tried some products out in the low vision store. The Snow 12 is the best one fit for him.. He said it is quite easy to use and he likes the easy set-up frame a lot. We are so happy for him that he could enjoys doing something at his own everyday now.
Elena –
My daughter uses Snow 12 when reading and doing homework. It is one of her best magnifiers for daily use. We are waiting for your release of the distance camera which can be connected to Snow 12. It will be a helpful solution in the classroom because she needs to read teacher’s handwirting at the blackboard.
