4.0 out of 5 stars Pays for itself after just one Do-It-Yourself eye surgery, April 8, 2010

By looking at the product picture of this item (15X Lighted Adjustable Travel Mirror), it is hard to realize its actual size. The unit is so compact, it fits in my palm when folded. The small size makes it suitable as a travel mirror. On the other hand, you also have to cope with its limitations:

1. The mirror is less than 4 inches in diameter. Combined with high magnification, it gives a very limited visible area. This means you can only examine a small region of your face at any one time. Plus you only have a working distance of 4-5 inches from the mirror.

2. The two miniature incandescent light bulbs are far from "super bright" as advertised. A set of four AAA alkaline cells (*) can only provide useable illumination for around 2-3 hours. It would be better if LED light sources were used.

In my particular case, I kept this compact mirror in my office in case of emergency "Do-It-Yourself eye surgery" (I have problems with inward growing eyelash). It has just the right size and magnification for this intended purpose. Over the past 2-3 years, it must have paid for itself ten times over. So for that I'm satisfied.

If you need something for daily usage at home, you should look for a magnified mirror with a diameter of at least 8 inches. I highly recommend the Daylight Fluorescent Lighted 10X Mirror, also made by Floxite.

(*) Footnote: The battery compartment accepts four AAA cells. But the cells are actually connected two-in-parallel, in order to double the operating time. A better solution is to power the lights with just two AAA rechargeable cells (see my Customer Image).

This is a super mini magnifying mirror. It is small enough to carry with you. It is lighted so you can see well and it is magnified 15X so even those of us who no longer see as well as we used to can see every ectopic hair. I am very satisfied with it.

5.0 out of 5 stars 15x Lighted Magnifying Travel Mirror, April 16, 2010

This is a good lighted magnifying travel mirror that I can either hold in my hand or sit on the counter for hands free operation. The 15x magnification is large enough for me to see what I'm doing to the point of discovering things I had no idea existed on my face. And the product itself is lightweight and small enough to fit in my purse for convenience. However, I've only owned it less than 2 months but have already had to replace the 4 AAA batteries required to operate the light, which I guess might speak to just how much I've used it so far. At first, I thought the cost of this item was a little steep but now that I have used it several times, I find it to be well worth it. All-in-all, I would recommend this product.
