simplehuman ST3018 8" Round Wall Mount Sensor Makeup Mirror, 5X Magnification, Rechargeable and Cordless, Rose Gold Stainless Steel

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 was a hesitant to get this because of some of the reviews and the cost, and who knows how well it will hold up. It does have a 5 year warranty so I feel pretty good about it. And my wife is happy with it, so that's worth a fair amount! :)Pros:- Rechargeable Battery so no need to wire it or have a cord coming from it.- 5x magnification which was important - we had tried a cheaper 10x to see how that worked and it was ridiculous unless you are doing surgery on your eye maybe. 5x is perfect for anything skin or makeup related.- Installation was easy - I had read reviews about screws not working and problems with the wall anchors - not sure what all that was about. User error maybe. Take your time, measure, test the mounting plate assembly before mounting it, figure out how it all goes together and it is fine.Also, there was one review where someone mentioned writing in the center of the mirror that could not be removed. This is incorrect. There is a protective film that covers the entire surface of the mirror that does have text on it in the center, but it all peels off. Install it before removing this to be safe.Features work well enough. The auto on / off sensor is working fine. The instructions for manual mode could be clearer, but the dark area at the bottom of the mirror acts as an on/off button more or less. The entire thing can be turned off completely with the button on the mount near the USB charging input.It looks nice and works well - would have been nice if it were double sided 1x/5x, but that's not a deal breaker for us.

Replaced a hardwired makeup mirror that had a bad elbow that was constantly coming apart and was literally falling off the wall. I tried one other mirror before I found this one but the lighting wasn't great and the mirror seemed really. This one is perfect! Made well, moves smoothly, lights beautifully and automatically when you walk up to it! The mirror is nice and big too. The arm extension has a seamless in and out motion so I won't have to worry about the swiveling elbow breaking. I really do love this mirror.
