Cadet 2 review

The holes on the base did not line up properly and the light was not secure. I had to take the head appart, pop the light fixture back into place and put it all back together. Other than that it works fine.

I would recommend this to a friend.

This is great for the beginner. It is so small and compact you could use this in a small closet. Would be great for a portable darkroom setup.

An excellent enlarger for its price!

I looked far and wide for an enlarger that would suit my needs without costing too much, and this one was perfect! I have had it now for one year, and it still works perfectly. It is easy to use, yet has wonderful results. This is an excellent product to invest in.

Good starter enlarger

It's a good enlarger. Nothing spectacular, but good for a small darkroom and to make small prints.
