I write few reviews but had to comment on this. I shave in the shower (like the picture - but Im better looking). Anyway, Ive tried several mirrors over the years, most that just tell you to put a little shave cream or soap on the mirror and give it a splash of water from the shower to keep it from fogging. They work ok. And its only a minor nuisance to do that. Then there are some that run a branch water tube from the shower head into the mirror to keep it at the same temp as the shower so there is no condensation. Clever, but who wants that. This mirror stands alone from what ive seen. The optics are good, mirror is nice and clean. No fussing, no gimmicks, it just doesnt fog over. Attaching it to the wall is easy too. Clever suction method is great, easy to remove, no residue or anything. Twist on, twist off. The razor holder is very convenient, and the swivel action is easy and allows me to push the bottom edge into the wall to be more out of the way. Read more
I am extremely pleased with my purchase. The product is well designed and simple to install. I tried other “fog free” mirrors but this one is my favorite by far. When the company says “fog free” they mean it. Also, the locking suction cup technology is sturdy which gives you the confidence to use the 360 degree rotation capability without concern of the mirror coming detached from the wall. I also chose the 3X magnification model which is a great option for those, like myself, who have impaired vision. And lastly, I would be remiss if I didn’t share my initial experience with the product. My original purchase was disappointing. The mirror was quick to fog but it was usable so long as I kept a cup of water handy for an occasional rinse. Since it was a shower mirror, I wasn’t about to lose any sleep over the quick fogging. However, shortly after my purchase I received an email from the company asking if I was pleased with the product. Reluctantly I took the time to respond and weigh in with my opinion on how quickly the mirror fogged and that I felt it was defective. Curious to see how the company would respond, I did not ask for a refund or a replacement. To my surprise, I received a same day email response from Joel B., the company’s Customer Service Manager. Joel was extremely apologetic and immediately sent out a replacement mirror – which, by the way, works fantastic! Now that’s customer service. For that, both the product and customer service receive 5 stars. Read more
I use this to shave in the shower. My first attempts to get it to stick were not successful. I peeled off the plastic cover on the suction surface and cleaned the shower wall with rubbing alcohol. Then I pressed it to the wall and rotated the collar until it clicked. It fell off within the hour. The next two tries were no more effective. But here's what worked for me: 1) Start out with the suction disk flat. 2) Make sure the wall is clean. 3) Wipe the wall down with rubbing alcohol for good measure. 4) Get into the shower so you can look directly into the mirror for proper placement. 5) Pour a little alcohol onto the disk and immediately press it into place. It is important that the suction disk should be flat and wet. You cannot create a suction if you start out with a concave disk. If the wall is also wet, so much the better. 6) Rotate the locking collar clockwise until it clicks. I will come back and update if that doesn't hold for the long haul but so far so good. UPDATE (1/11/2021): I was a little too quick to speak initially. The mirror won't stay stuck on the shower wall indefinitely. That is not to say it's a bad mirror. I found that about every four days or so, I'd hear a crash in the bathtub. That was the mirror letting go of the acrylic wall. The mirror seemed to not suffer any damage when it did it but it was annoying. We have come to an accommodation: about every third day, I release the clamp and rewet the suction cup with either water or rubbing alcohol, then reapply it to the shower wall. It no longer falls off the wall. Still, I don't feel I would have to do that if the clamping system were better. I have safety bars attached to my shower walls that are also attached via suction cups, and they stay in place for months before they fall off. So I find myself reducing my rating from five stars to four. Read more
Although I would have liked it to have lasted longer, 3 years seems like a decent amount of time for this to last. The suction cup on this mirror is excellent. Don't buy a cheaper one with a plain suction cup. This locks into place and holds the seal very, very well. Over the past three years, mine fell off three times. The first time, the frame got a little ding. The second time, there was no damage. The third time, it actually didn't lose the seal, but the suction cup disconnected from the holder. Two of the times, the razor that was hanging on it busted. The hanger for a razor is very handy. I don't really have anywhere convenient to set a razor in the shower, so this worked perfectly. The mirror was very "fog-proof" the first year or two, but the past year or two it has fogged up. Trying to rinse it with water doesn't help. What seems to help (only temporarily) is putting a little shampoo on it and letting water partially rinse it off. Then, it's fog-proof long enough to shave. With the suction cup disconnecting, it was finally time to replace it. Before I purchased another one, I checked competing products. Several had cheaper suction cups or no razor hanger. No thanks. A few looked identical or almost identical. One was about $5 cheaper so I went with that one. I'll probably replace it more often -- once it starts fogging up. (Unless I can find a way to restore the anti-fog surface.) I'm also going to make sure the suction cup is securely locked down at least once a month. Read more
