Out of the box, this mirror fogs up every time I use it. I assume that something must be blocking the little copper pipe inside. Sometime soon I will remove it and take a look to see if it can be fixed. If not, it's going right back to Amazon.
Update 5/13/2008 - After moving and reinstalling this mirror in my new shower, I noticed a little tube inside the connector that must have been blocked when I first installed it. I unbent the tube, installed it, and it works GREAT! My rating changes from two stars to 5! Just be sure to clean it often ... small water spots can occur if it's not consistently maintained. (Everything needs to be maintained, though, doesn't it?)

If it weren't so expensive, it would've gotten 5 stars.

Works as advertised. Probably pays for itself over years since you don't have to keep buying $15 dollar mirrors that scratch when you wipe them down.

Reversible feature is great. I use just one side and turn it around when done. That way the side I use stays clean without water spots.

Easy to install. Very sturdy.

I've used ShowerTek mirrors for years, starting with the white plastic one. They've all worked (functioned) flawlessly. I've had this model now for about 4 years and need to replace it as all of the fittings are beginning to leak. The worst thing about all of ShowerTek's mirrors is their short "neck". My shower stem is very high and I actually have to angle the mirror down in order to use it. Why don't they make an extended version? I can't be the only person who has had this problem.

I had the previous model. It worked okay for awhile (about a year). The fog free worked okay although the mirror didn't fog up, but did become cloudy. However that is not the issue I was so concerned about. My unit broke at the turn off. When I contacted the company to see if I could order a new turn off, they informed me that they had a lot of problems with that model and it had been phased out. No parts were available. They said I could return the unit with the original receipt for a refund, which is their way of saying you are out of luck without a receipt. I told them I no longer had the receipt and since the unit was defective (their own admission) would they send me their base model (much cheaper than the unit I originally bought)as a replacement. They actually said, "they would not, but if I wanted to purchase the base model, I could go to the nearest Walmart." Yes, that is what they said. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THIS COMPANY, THEY DO NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS, EVEN WHEN THEY ARE DEFECTIVE! BUYER BEWARE!

This is a great product. I decided to get the more expensive one for my boyfriend (there's a plastic model that's cheaper that people basically said it's cheap and cheaply made). I've only had it a few weeks, but it installed very easily, after a minute or so it's totally fog-free, there's no water that's wasted as it get recycled back into the shower stream. I originally bought one that was mounted in the shower either by suction cup or sticky backing, neither worked in my shower. Likely because it's a tiled shower and the surface for suction or adhesive is not ideal (added to wetness in the shower). My only criticism is one that I expected because many people said it about the plastic model. It comes with a small amount of plumber's tape and to get a really tight fit, you need more. There's a little drip at the connection, but it still works well. I'll just get more tape to make a tighter fit.

I say it's well worth the money since, in theory, you shouldn't need to get another one--ever. There's no fog-less coating to wear off since it uses the water you shower with and it's built into your shower, so it wont fall down.

I bought this with the expectation that it would defog in time for me to shave. The water flow through it is so slow that by the time it de-fogs I am done with my shower. I end up rubbing soapy water and splashing hot water on it so I can shave. The quality of the mirror and goose neck are good - just wish it defogged as it was supposed to (at least within the first 5 minutes of my shower)

This mirror is one of the best mirrors I ever owned. It is far better than Origanal one made by Sharper Image. It is ALL made of chrome and is very solid no plastic parts. It was very easy to install. It is still better than the new one Sharper Image just came out with for online purchases only because of all the plastic that is used. If you are wanting a high quality mirror in your shower then this one is the best and worth waiting for. When they come back in stock I want to buy another one and get rid of the new sharper image one for my 2nd home.
