The diffuser looks like it can be pulled off for cleaning, but I tried that and a corner broke off with the slightest of effort. Just blow air into the slot if any debris gets in.At under $4 one can't expect better, but if the company offered the same item but with more robust construction, I would gladly pay extra for it.Otherwise, it is very convenient for quick viewing and the image is great. You don't even have to worry about the orientation of the slide when inserting. If it's upside-down, just rotate the whole unit to view.With better construction, this is 5-star material.

I purchased this viewer in order to review about 1000 old slides prior to having them put on a DVD. The image is small, and as it has no battery, it must be held up to the light each time you look at a slide. This is a nuisance. It is also not large enough for two people to view at once. I wound up buying a more expensive, battery operated viewer by the same company.

Comments about Pana-Vue Slide Viewer #3:
Does this sound familiar? Boxes full of slides and you're holding them up, squinting at each one with the ceiling light as a light source. Well, the ceiling light will still be your light source, but this simple viewer will make your life much easier and save your vision.

Comments about Pana-Vue Slide Viewer #3:
I digitized 2200 slides from deep past-1950 and on to the 90's, storing them on a 2Gb Flash Drive. Separated out the slides of friends and family and sent them off to each with a Panavue 3 enclosed. Am getting back big Thank You emails and it was easy and low cost. I'm the family hero.

5-stars if it was more solidly built, even at a higher price. Is quality becoming an endangered species?

Comments about Pana-Vue Slide Viewer #3:
I have a small production company on South Beach, and now that it's increasingly difficult to have slide film processed, I make most of my client's slides (logos, theme-related artwork) via inkjet and acetate. But I find that two layers - overlayed and aligned - are necessary to provide rich color. Ergo the need to confirm alignment and the usefulness of this Pana Vue Slide Viewer #3.

Great for sorting through slides.
Simple to use - no batteries required.
Inexpensive.
It's less robust than a similar one I used 20-30 years ago - I think it would fall apart if I dropped it.
