simplehuman 8" Sensor Makeup Mirror, Wall Mount, 5X Magnification, Hard-Wired (100-240v), Polished Stainless Steel

This is a spendy mirror, but it was worth it. It's very nicely made, with a high quality mounting system that made it easy to install. Based on some of the previous reviews I was a little concerned about the rechargeable battery light functionality, so I charged the battery and tested everything before installing it. It did need to be charged and after the green light went from a slow flash to solid, the circular light around the mirror face worked just fine and has continued to work with absolutely no problem. It comes on as you get "into the zone" to use the mirror, and shuts off pretty promptly when you move away. The color of the light is really good in terms of being able to tell what your cosmetics actually look like on your face :-) This mirror is a 5X magnification, which is perfect not only for applying makeup, but for seeing (horrors!) all of those things that need tending to on your face. I don't see how anyone could want or even use a higher magnification. Another plus for the simplehuman mirror is that its design is clean and elegant, important for something that's attached to your wall in plain sight.

Love my Simple Human wireless wall mount mirror! I was hesitant to spend this much $ on a mirror, but it’s worth it—at least for me! I purchased the wall mount because I didn’t want to clutter my counter top and didn’t want to risk knocking it over. I’ve had it for about a month and it’s working great! It’s 5x magnification ( which is perfect for me—I didn’t want 10x, as many make up mirrors are) and the lighting is perfect! I really hate cords, so this is great b/c it’s wireless—1charge has lasted the entire month! Mounting is easy-took us 5-10”!

The only thing I would change is to make it stay on. I like to use it as a light in the morning also but it goes off when I walk away from it. Other than that, it is a great mirror!

I just received the wall mount version 2 days ago and installed it last night. So it's too early to tell about the reliability/durability of the sensor and the rechargeable battery system, there have been one or two negative comments about those. But, SO FAR, I really like it.I'm a guy and this is just what I've been looking for as a shaving mirror--the size is really nice, and the magnification is just right for that purpose. The light is adequate; the box describes it as "optimum" (which I presume is for ladies to apply make-up,which is what they show on the box); it is OK for shaving, although I would like it even better if it were brighter.Amazon's item description doesn't mention it but the magnification on the wall-mount mirror is 5X. Also, I'm surprised the description isn't a little more clear about the dimensions, only giving you the overall measurement for the whole thing including the arm and mount ("3.1 x 13.8 x 9.1 inches"); I can tell you the mirror surface itself is 8 inches across, inside the head which is 9 inches across--the light ring surrounding the mirror fills up the difference.So far I am not having any problem with the sensor turning the light on at the wrong time, nor with it turning itself off in a reasonable time. It comes on when my face is near the mirror. I mounted it within 2 feet of the bathroom door, and it is not coming on just because I walk near it when going in and out of the room.INSTALLATION: I mounted it at about shoulder-height up the wall, which is just right for me to tilt it up and look down into it while shaving.They give you everything you need for Installation in drywall, including the better drywall anchors which are threaded and you screw into the wall, rather than having to drill and hole and insert an anchor. Installation was straightforward, you can do it with a screwdriver but a power screwdriver or a drill with a phillips bit works faster/easier. It will be best if you follow directions and draw a level line about 5 inches across, lightly with a pencil--the mounting plate has indicator lines to ensure the unit will be fully level after installation.

I thought this was just what I was looking for and thought the brand seemed like it had integrity. The product broke really quickly and it was so much hassle to return it. They fixed it and sent it back. It broke again. I was offered 20% off a new one. I don’t to buy a new one. I want my original one to work the first time without a million emails to customer service.

This is my second mirror. The first one we bought created a traffic jam in the bathroom because everyone liked it so much. So, we had to get another for the second bathroom! It is very easy to install and you don't need an electrician. Your power supply just needs to be as near as an extension cord can reach. When the power wanes (you get a red light) you charge the mirror as you would any cell phone or Kindle. The magnification is great, the light is ample and the charge lasts long enough for us. I'll estimate that if you leave the mirror light on for long periods of time, you will get a week on the charge. If you use it twice a day for about 15 minutes, you will probably get two-three weeks per charge. The installation is very simple; we didn't use the enclosed mollies. You get a mounting bracket that we put on the closest stud. We drilled a hole with a slightly smaller drill bit than the screw size, then used the philips head screwdriver attachment on the drill to set the two screws. There is a leveling line on the bracket to be sure you have the bracket level. The entire mounting took about 20 minutes from using the Riobi stud-finder, to using the Riobi laser leveler, drawing the holes on the wall where the screws go, drilling the starter hole, then sinking the screws. The most delicate part was sinking the mirror mounting screws with the enclosed allen wrench. I highly recommend this product!
