Wall Mounted Makeup Mirror – 10x Magnification 8” Two-Sided Swivel Extendable Bathroom Mirror Nickel Finish

A must in every bathroom!
I love this! Actually told my husband he will have to buy me one for any future homes we move to. Easy to mount to the wall and I like that I get to pick the height since I am on the taller side. I like having the magnified side although I don’t use it very often. It is super easy to keep clean and has held up to a lot of use. Helps a lot while applying makeup, tweezing eyebrows or doing more intricate hairstyles. Since the arm extends and the mirror angles, you can always get just the right lighting you need.

Easy to use
Love this mirror and how functional and easy it is to use.

Great wall mount mirror
This mirror is large, just the right size. It mounted to the wall easily and feels sturdy. The 10x mirror is a good quality giving a perfectly clear image.

Good magnification and easy to install; I include some musings on magnifying mirrors
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!

Bought this mirror for my wife as she needed to wear reading glasses to put on her make up. It was easy to install – just drilled a couple of holes and used a level to make sure the base was installed vertical. The quality seems to be pretty good compared to some that we saw at the Big Box Stores and my wife is happy!

UPDATE – after 2 months of this mirror being installed in my bathroom, the bolt heads on the sides of the mirror have gone rusty. This does not look good and is very disappointing given that this was a very good looking mirror. I am not sure that I would recommend it after this has happened (see photos). The manufacturer should know better than to use materials that are going to rust quickly on a mirror designed to be used in a bathroom.I bought this after using one in a 5* hotel and finding it invaluable with my failing eyesight!This mirror is actually better quality than the one in the 5* hotel.We have installed it onto the side of a large bathroom cabinet and it is very secure and easy to move out for use or move back against the wall at the side of the cabinet.The 5x magnification is perfect. I originally bought the 10x version but had to return it as you literally had to put your nose on the mirror to see anything!This mirror is good value for money, very well packaged for transit and I would highly recommend it.

Received in good condition. Seems quite solid. Have already installed. Very simple with 2 screws. Hopefully, it can last to my expectation.
