I searched the internet to find a mirror that had all of the features I had seen on a mirror in an upscale hotel where I stayed on a recent business trip. It had to be lighted, magnified on one side (5X-1X), with a support bar that would extend over the counter to a place where I could get close enough to use it (I am vertically challenged). I found several - with prices as high as $189.00 - and finally decided that this Jerdon model was exactly what I was looking for - and the Chrome finish matched the fixtures in our bathroom. The low price on Amazon made me wonder about the quality, but I was worried for no reason. The mirror arrived quickly, was easy to install (according to my husband), works perfectly and we got it for the best price on the internet! Thanks Amazon!

If you are looking for a lit mirror, I would select a different model.

I was pleased with the overall design.

I was expecting a hardwired electrical connection but was pleased to see it was a plug-in model with a curly cord to keep it out of the way. While the light did work, it was was much too dim for me.

I had to turn off the other lights in the bathroom for it to even make a difference.

Bottom line for me: It was not nearly powerful enough to justify the expense over a non-lit mirror. Sorry to say I ended up returning it.

I got this light 3-4 years ago. My wife and I use it every day. The light comes in handy if you don't want to turn on the vanity or overhead lights but we usually use it without the light in the mornings.

The only problems I've had were a switch that lossened up after 14-16 months of use (easy to tighten) and the elbow became loose after 3 years of use (easy to tighten with small hex wrench).

I would highly recommend the lighted mirror.

We are very pleased with the mirror...the brushed nickel finish is classy looking...the magnification (5X) is just right. The light's brightness is perfect...I read other reviewers who thought it should be brighter but I think if it was brighter it would inhibit the clarity by creating glare in one's eyes. Overall we are quite satisfied and would definitely buy it again.

The mirror is made very nicely and looks nice as well. I like the normal view on one side and 5x on the other. I rated this low, however, because the light is WAY too dim. You need other sources of light to help you see in this mirror. It only has a 15 wt bulb. I emailed the company, and they said you could not use a higher watt bulb in it.

My bathroom has a window where I'd like a mirror, apparently I'm taller than the builder, so I bought this mirror to swing out into place so that I see my face.

Installation took about 15 minutes with a drill and screwdriver, feels solid, looks fine. As the other reviews point out, a mirror with a light all around it is not going to give one a bright look at oneself, but it works for my purposes, brushing hair and shaving.

[edit - May 2009] I finally got tired of the dim light, and replaced this mirror with the one also from Jerdon without the light. Much better. The mirror has more surface area, the fixture is lighter without the electronics, and there is no cord hanging down.

Quality and finish were excellent, very easy to install. However, it was quite a disappointment when the light was switched on. The 25W T bulb in the center leaked out only a bit around the mirror, which did nothing to illuminate one's face - even at a distance of a couple of inches. It is a very pretty accent and I guess for the money I was expecting too much. We'll keep it as it is a nice mirror and the 5x side revealed way more about my face than I ever needed to know, but if you're looking for a makeup mirror that will illuminate your face - "this ain't it".

This is a great product. I was hesitant to buy it because of the not enough light reviews. It has just enough light. If it were any brighter it would be too much. I would recommend this to anyone. Being pregnant, I can't reach across the high counter to do my make-up. This makes it so much easier. I also don't have to turn on as much light when my husband is still sleeping.

Just like the one at the Motel. Looks nice and stylish. Magnification is perfect and the Nickel finish is great.. don't have to worry about smudges. Just enough light without blinding you. Easy to attach to wall, as long as you have the right size drill bit. Very secure once attached. Folds nicely out of the way.

Looks nice, smooth adjustments and feels solid. The light is not bright enough to be useful at all. Best used during the day by a sunny window.
