There were many slides taken by members of my family and also my husband's family. We didn't have any way of knowing which ones to keep or discard. Now we have all the info we need and plan on scanning them into the computer.
It really saved me a lot of time looking at the slides first before scanning and then having to delete them later.
I definitely would recommend this product to anyone who is thinking of doing the same thing I did. It saved me a lot of time and money, as I didn't have to go and purchase any high priced ticket item to look at the slides.

The first one I got arrived broken and I had to take it in. It was immediately replaced and this one is so easy to use. It lights up clearly and does not get hot. So I can sit and look at my precious memories to my heart's content.

This is a solid, compact product and works well.
The fact that it has an optional transformer is a plus so that you don't always have to rely on batteries.
Unfortunately the slide does not "click" into it and the person must continually press down on the slide for the light to remain on. That could be a bit inconvenient but for the price I am happy with this product.

Comments about Pana-Vue 6562 Slide Viewer #2:
Can't beat this simple viewer for looking through slides without having to put them on a carousel. We're collecting the best family pictures to digitize and this is an efficient way to go through them all. Simplicity is beauty. Images are fairly small but clear--certainly enough to judge whether they are worth digitizing. I can't look as closely as I might like sometimes because my aging eyes are getting more farsighted, so I would need to remove my contacts to really examine slides.

Great to help loading carousel, I have inherited many, many slides from my father and grandfather. Bought a slide projector at an estate sale for $ and this tool for helping he ID and put them in order. Next step is to have all slides put into digital scan format and DVD.

I am enjoying slides of my children that were taken 40+ years ago. Very fond memories.
One complaint: there are little black specks on the white lightbulb cover that interfere with some of the pictures. Please advise how I can exchange this slide projector.

I bought one of these back in about 1968. It worked great for almost 45 years. It finally failed due to me leaving some batteries in it too long. The new one is great. Batteries install easily, and viewing screen is a good size for viewing. I seem to have to press harder on the new one to get the light to turn on, but it's just a matter or getting use to it.
