This mirror has saved me so much comfort as a pregnant woman who does her makeup near the sink with all items on my counter top. I no longer have to bend over with my belly being squished on the sink counter or have to use a smaller hand held mirror to do my makeup because of this wall mirror. I did not purchase the one with lights and i am still able to clearly see myself. Pros: Easy to install, great quality mirror and simple design. Cons: The large 10x magnification mirror is sort of useless if the mirror is this close to your face but i guess there are needs for this as well. Overall: If you are pregnant, hate bending over your counters and have back pain or want to save space by not purchasing a whole vanity desk, buy this mirror! Read more

I ordered this mirror without high expectations, aware that many reviews mention distortion in the 10x magnifying mirror as well as difficulty with installation. I had no problems with either. Installation was as simple and easy as possible and took less than five minutes. My mirror is absolutely steady on the wall. I mounted it on solid wood window trim backed by a stud, which no doubt made for an optimal install. After securing the cover plate over the mounting plate, I tightened the screw covers with a wrench. This eliminated the very slight play in the cover plate (due to the weight of the mirror) which had existed when I had tightened them only by hand. For those who don't have experience with high-magnification mirrors, it may come as a surprise that one's reflection comes into focus generally only when one is relatively close to the mirror. Everything farther away will appear blurry. This is not a defect. I've measured the farthest distance at which my image comes into focus with this mirror: When my cheekbone is between 5 and 6 inches from the center of the mirror's surface, I can see almost my entire face in the 8" round mirror and my face is fully in focus. This is exactly what I was hoping to find. Much farther away (or much closer) and my image becomes blurry. These distances may vary for others, since I imagine there is a relationship between vision acuity and how near or far someone has to stand to be in focus in the mirror. My eyesight is middling (I use 1.75 magnification reading glasses, but no prescription glasses). I began some years ago using a 3x magnifying mirror to apply makeup. When eventually I needed to hold that mirror too far away for it to be useful for my purposes, I moved to 5x, then 8x, and now 10x. As my presbyopia has progressed, I have needed stronger magnification in order to see my reflection in focus at relatively short range. At each stage, stronger magnification would not have been helpful because I would have had to hold the mirror too close to my face to see myself in focus. It's quite possible that there are quality-control issues with these mirrors, and that some of them are defective. If your image appears upside-down at close range, that certainly sounds like a defect. However, I have often noticed that my image will briefly be reflected upside-down and far away toward the edge of the mirror as I approach it; by the time I am 6-8 inches from the mirror my reflection will be right-side-up. I found the following in an article on the website "Sciencing" (https://sciencing.com/measure-magnification-mirror-7634785.html): "A magnifying mirror, otherwise known as a concave mirror, is a reflecting surface that constitutes a segment of the inner surface of a sphere. For this reason, concave mirrors are classed as spherical mirrors. When objects are positioned between the focal point of a concave mirror and the mirror's surface, or the vertex, the images seen are “virtual”, upright and magnified. When objects are beyond the focal point of the mirror, the images seen are real images, but they are inverted." Complaints about defective mirrors were widespread in the reviews of all the 10x magnification wall mirrors I considered, from numerous manufacturers, before making this purchase. One possible explanation for this is that these mirrors are all made cheaply in factories where there is poor quality-control. For instance, some mirrors may not be perfectly curved, or may not be curved at the correct radius for 10x magnification. Getting a good mirror may be a matter of luck. But I also wonder whether there may be wide variation in how people experience such strong magnification, depending on their vision acuity. Unless I'm mistaken, it appears that the lens of the eye is a variable affecting where the focal point of a concave mirror will be perceived. I would be interested to hear whether people with good vision have to stand much closer to a 10x magnifying mirror to see their reflection in focus - far too close, in fact, for comfort - than those of us with fairly advanced presbyopia. (I'd also be interested to hear if there is any common feature in the vision of those whose reflections appear still upside-down at close range.) It may be not that the mirror is defective; it may be rather that you are not defective enough! Read more
