I had purchased this product previously from Brookstone and when my sister in law fell in love with it I gave it to her. At that time I didn't know that Brookstone was no longer carrying it. Was very releived to find it again as I can't imagine travelling without it and am now using it as my makeup mirror at home. What's so great about it is you can set it up to suit your own height.

The mirror was unglued from the backing when I took it out of the package. I glued it together with Liquid Nails. It held nicely but was messy. The mirror fell from the tiled shower wall and broke in less than 24 hours from when I installed it. I can now see my many shower mirror are plastic. This mirror is too heavy to to be held by the suction cups and glass is dangerous in the shower as it will certainly shatter.

This is a greatt little magnifying mirror. I originally bought it as a travel mirror, but, found it's size to be more than adequate for my home needs also.

I inherited this mirror from my Mom in 1991 and used it until a few months ago when it fell from the bathroom wall mirror, to which it was attached, to the floor and broke. It did fall several times over the years but those falls only slightly chipped the acrylic surround. The difference is the distance fallen. It usually only fell about 15" from the wall mirror to the granite vanity counter. It finally broke on its last fatal decent, when it fell to the counter, rolled off, and hit the marble floor about 30" below. I am buying it again today. Be sure to wet the suction cups before attaching.

Good price and arrived quickly, like most Amazon orders. However, the product looks like it has been used and repaired before, with moisture behind the mirror and scuffing along the frame. It is way too heavy to hold up during a makeup application, too large to store easily, and I'm afraid to just stick it to the main mirror after reading the comments about shattered glass in the bathroom. It also distorts around the edges, unlike the 6" mirror that I was trying to replace.

All in all, a disappointment that's probably too much trouble/expense to return.

I read all the reviews and I am very thankful that you made people aware of the mirror adhesive issue. However, I did order it since this was the perfect mirror for my shower. Upon arrival I quickly inspected it and the mirror was secure in the case. I have it suctioned to a glass shower wall and it has fallen once but the glass did not shatter (thank goodness). I do keep on checking to see if the heat from the shower will separate the mirror from the case but nothing yet. Maybe Jerdon changed the glue they were using after hearing the complaints.

Thanks to the honest reviews that have been posted.

Mirror fell off the backing during the first week. Can still use it but afraid it will fall apart and break with
use.

Very poor quality. Distortion is so bad I could not use the mirror and returned it.

This is ok for the price, but we use it as a hand-held mirror, for which purpose it works fine. Like other customers, I found that the mirror was unglued from the frame when the product arrived. It's easy enough to fix that. I tested the suction cups on our bathroom mirror, and they seem to work fine, but we decided not to take a chance and only use it as a hand-held mirror.

Immediately after installing the Jerdon First Class 5X Suction Mirror to the tiled wall of my bath, the glass mirror fell out of the plastic housing and shattered in my bathtub. Luckily, I was not seriously injured, but the impact caused a very deep and wide cut on the surface of the tub. I am waiting to hear back from Jerdon Products as to how they plan to remedy my situation.
