11" LED Wall Mounted Makeup Mirror 10X/1X Shaving Mirror Cordless or Battery Operated Vanity Mirrors for Wall

I really like this mirror. I did a lot of research before buying and it paid off in several ways.The mirror is well made and the dual-power option is nice. I run mine on batteries since it's not an everyday use item and just for "getting that thing out of your eye" situations. But, there is no reason to believe it will be chewing up batteries since it uses C cells which have nearly 7 times the capacity of AAA, and that's what most high intensity flashlight run on... which draw much more current.The light is plenty bright and you can even use the mirror in complete darkness because of it. I'm not recommending that... just pointing it out. :-)The magnification is just right. If you're hung up on what magnification to get, then 10x is just right for "truth telling."There was a slight problem with the mirror that I received and Shower Door Direct handled it very quickly and resolved the problem in less than a day. This was at their expense and they didn't blink an eye! Excellent company.You can tell the quality of the company just by how they package the items for shipping. They want to make sure it arrives in one piece no matter how brutal the carriers are with it.I just don't have anything bad to say about the product or the company. That's unusual, even if it shouldn't be.

I bought the first one in 2010 and loved it. Bright enough and very magnified. Last week it stopped working. One of the issues I had was the door to the battery holder doesn't click tight and eventually I had to tape it with duct tape. But the mirror last me 10 years which is good enough for me. I loved it enough to repurchase again (newer model). With the second purchase, the screw holes are better placed. The one purchased in 2010 had a the holes at 10, 2 and 6 and I couldn't get to the one at 10 because the medicine cabinet was in the way. The new one is more like 11, 1 and 6 so I can reach all 3 screw holes. The battery door hasn't been updated, still a little flimsy and doesn't quite click tightly. But I'm willing compromise on that since I love everything else about this lighted and magnified mirror.

Pluses: 1) 10X magnification works great for detailed makeup work, my wife previously tried a 5X that wasn't strong enough, 2) mirror is free of distortion, others we've tried have been wavy, 3) bright, white light: better than another model we tried, 4) possibility of operating without a cord, 5) excellent cosmetics, matches our other bathroom fixtures.Negatives: 1) cordless requires 4 C batteries (not included) that are concealed inside the base. Changing the batteries requires removing 3 screws from the base and taking the unit off the wall to get at the battery compartment inside. 2) if you skip the batteries the power supply is a cheap black low-voltage transformer like the kind you get for small electronic devices and the cosmetics are much worse than the mirror, kind of wrecks the classy appearance.I gave it five stars because we will use it only in battery mode and I don't mind removing the unit once a year as long as we get the claimed one-year life for batteries! I may be back to change this rating if the batteries burn out faster.Note: 10X magnification on any mirror means your viewing distance is just a few inches from the mirror surface. Just enough room for a pair of eyeglasses if you are farsighted and for your fingers to do whatever they are going to do. If you only use the mirror for inspection rather than maintenance then clearance will never be an issue.

I like this mirror and I am not returning it, but there are a couple of things that I wish were different. First things first. It was relatively easy to install. Just realize that it uses anchors to attach to the base to your wall, so there will be 1/4” holes in the wall if you remove it. (As a side note, whenever I need to use anchors, I use the ones that screw into the wall because they are much easier to remove.)I decided not to install batteries because you have to remove the mirror from the base to replace the batteries. The screws that attach the mirror to the base are very small and are not easily accessed by a shorter person.Another note.. be sure you realize how much magnification you get with 10X. I probably would have been happier with 5X.

I don’t recommend this wall hung mirror due to many design flaws which is very frustrating. To begin the mirror is too heavy to mount into drywall with the anchors provided especially if the mirror arm is extended (the laws of physics). I would not attempt installing this mirror unless you have a stud to mount into. The installation instructions are vague with no illustrations. Installation will take 2 to attach the mirror onto the wall mounting bracket, one to hold and support the weight of the mirror and align the tiny hard to see screw holes located in a difficult to reach location on top of the mirror plus another person to fumble with the 3 tiny screws, good luck if you should drop one on the floor, these are the only tiny screws holding the mirror onto the wall bracket and if you should lose one the mirror cannot be mounted. Be AWARE that to change batteries this process would need to be repeated EVERY TIME! The arm of the mirror is stiff and not easy to move which puts more stress on the anchors installed in drywall. The pictures are the damage to my drywall after installation with the hardware provided when the mirror suddenly fell off the wall leaving glass shards on the floor. I was told by Zadro customer service that the mounting anchors can be placed anywhere on the slotted wall bracket. Keep looking there are better mirrors and at a better price!!!
