simplehuman Sensor Mirror, Wall Mount Makeup Mirror with Light, 8" Round Lighted with Magnification (5X), Hard Wired, Swing Arm, Brass Stainless Steel

Great mirror. Bright, good size. Clean simple look. I tried several others that were cheaper, not bright enough, Ugly plug in and too big. This hits the sweet spot.

Replaced a hardwired makeup mirror that had a bad elbow that was constantly coming apart and was literally falling off the wall. I tried one other mirror before I found this one but the lighting wasn't great and the mirror seemed really. This one is perfect! Made well, moves smoothly, lights beautifully and automatically when you walk up to it! The mirror is nice and big too. The arm extension has a seamless in and out motion so I won't have to worry about the swiveling elbow breaking. I really do love this mirror.

I was replacing a wired 3 x mirror and wanted to use the existing electrical box/switch already in place next to my vanity. I tried the rechargeable version of this mirror and was really impressed. Although my old mirror is a Brot mirror which is often considered to be the absolute best, I found the light quality of the simplehuman to be vastly superior. I ordered a new Brot in the same magnification as the simplehuman and did a side-by-side comparison when it arrived. The clarity of the simplehuman matched the Brot but the quality of the light was multiples of the Brot. After using the simplehuman for a few weeks, I felt like I needed a flashlight every time I went to the Brot to apply makeup. I was very happy to find this wired version of the simplehuman mirror and happily got rid of the wall-mount Brot. The motion sensor is thoughtfully placed on the bottom of the mirror which makes great sense for a wall-mount as everyone will be able to trigger it regardless of height. The light is perfect for applying makeup and the clarity is great. Yes, the light sometimes shuts off when I don't want it to do so but I just swivel back to the mirror and it turns back on so it is not a problem. This mirror is great!

I'll be generous and give this product three stars because it is a good looking and functional mirror. But be warned: This product is not compatible with old work boxes without some mods and carefully repairing a bit of peek at the corners of the box. (This review is for the hardwired version, which I elected to purchase because I didn't want to mess with periodic charging and potential failure of an internal battery.) Since it was a new installation, I bought a standard Carlon old work box from Home Depot, with the front tabs that overlap the drywall on the outside, and plastic tabs in back that are tightened against the inside of the drywall to hold the box in place. So far, so good...but hold on: Two problems. First, an old work box protrudes slightly from the drywall (because of the front tabs), which means the circular plate that fastens to it (and the mirror to the plate) will be protruding about 1/16 to 1/8 from the wall. Secondly, and totally unacceptable, the tabs in front protrude from the base of the mirror. I was able to figure out a decent workaround by completely cutting off the front plastic tabs, sinking the box into the drywall slightly, and allowing the front circular metal plate the mirror attaches to hold the box in place. Even so, the corners of the box peek slightly from the base of the mirror when mounted. For a company that prides itself on products that are simple, intelligent and "intuitive", I found installation of this product and the ridiculously tight tolerance of the base that won't even overlap or work with a standard old work box totally unacceptable. This human simply can't reconcile what the product designers were thinking when they engineered this product, unless they erroneously assumed everyone who installs one has an extant electrical box exactly where they want the mirror mounted. Had I known in advance the hassle of installing the hardwire version, I probably would have just purchased the USB-charge version. The product designers made this item unnecessarily difficult to install.

Firstly, the current reviews on this product page are almost all for its rechargeable predecessor. I'm aware that it's common for counterfeit sellers who typically review bait and switch, but the same thing happening on a properly branded item is shameful. As for the product itself, there are a couple glaring issues during installation. 1. The instruction for the mounting plate states "screw plate over junction box or onto wall". Installing over junction box is obviously the instinct, as installing it directly onto the wall and handling the live wire connections would be a direct violation of fire code basically anywhere. However, the size of the base does not even entirely cover a standard old work junction box, leaving an ugly base visible after the installation. 2. The instruction states "pull wires through hole", while there is no space at all in front of the plate to manage wires and caps. 3. The wire caps provided in the product package are too small to fit even standard 12 gauge wires. 4. The only screws include in the product package are a pair with drywall anchors. Those would make perfect sense for the rechargeable version, but for the hard-wired version shouldn't you include the screws to connect to a junction box instead? And if your box is not near a stud, good luck having the mirror sit stable at all. Does the mirror and lighting part work well? Yes, but so does anything else on the market, and way below a $200 sticker price. The foundation of this is such a joke of a design, that the only way I could make sense of it is that the rechargeable version probably got shut down by a lawsuit and they had to rework the rest of the production under time pressure, and eventually somebody said "f it, good enough". I bought a fair share of simplehuman products because of their generally polished design and reliability. This one however, is so far off from those qualities that I may just stop buying their products completely.

I waited a while to post this to see how things would hold up. This was a pleasant surprise as it looks good up close, it works as described (the proximity sensor is quite good). The LED color looks good, and my wife is happy with it for makeup. It needs a round box, a regular outlet box is not quite covered by the back (I filled in the corner with mud and painted; it's just a tiny part showing). I was expecting a flakey sensor or that the hinge might be a bit sloppy after being used a while, but it seems very well made and has worked perfectly since install.

What a great mirror ! Very easy to install, with installation and electrical hookup. One of the reviews stated that for the hard wired version, you need to use a “new work” electrical box. Not true ! I used an “old work” metal electrical box , using madison straps. This method supports the mirror with “zero” reason for concern that it will fall to the floor. The base of the mirror fully covers the dimensions of the metal box, as well. I did however, have to enlarge the center hole on the base plate to allow more space to be able to tuck the wires back into the electrical box and I used a deep electrical box. Additionally, I attached a ground screw inside of the box, because enlarging the center hole in the base plated, disrupts the base plate ground screw area, no big deal.

After looking at a lot of different mirrors on Amazon I opted to go "premium" and spend 3-4x more on this hard wired branded version vs many of the generic alternatives. On the one hand, the final product is very nice, eventually. On the other hand, for the money, the installation process is absolutely terrible, unforgiving, and just plain wrong in many aspects. I had seen a few reviews mentioning this before purchasing, but honestly assumed the installer just didn't know what they were doing. Wrong-O! First issue - Unlike all my other vanity lamps, the mounting plate has only a few degrees of rotation to level the mirror. This means your ROUND junction box has to be installed at a very specific orientation first. I had to remove mine and rotate it to compensate which was finicky to get "just right". Second issue - The instructions actually suggest just screwing the mounting plate directly to the wall without a junction box behind it. I suspect this is a carry over mistake from their other battery powered version as I can't imagine it would be code compliant this way when connected to AC. Third issue - Once the mounting plate is installed, there is ZERO space between the mirror itself and the bracket to make the wiring connections. Instead you have to wire it up first behind the bracket, then install that mounting plate, then the mirror. Again this is counter to the instructions. Fourth issue and most annoyingly - Despite my wall being a standard 1/2" drywall with a standard 4" round junction box, the mounting bracket left the mirror hanging ~1/4" off my wall surface with a big gap around. See photo. I ended up having to remove everything, chisel off a 1/4" of the stud to partially recess the junction box, and redo everything. Again, because each step leaves no margin for error, it took me about 4-5 tries before getting everything nice and flush. I reached out to Customer Service who didn't say much beyond "From the images provided, it appears that the wiring has been installed correctly." Honestly for $200 I expected a better experience, not just in end use, but in the install and support process as well.

Hermosa lampara, enciende la luz con detección de acercamiento, muy estética y funcional

Good quality and doesn’t tarnish. Lights up automatically and has good magnification

Sicuramente un valido prodotto, il prezzo forse è un po' alto (io l'ho acquistato usato garantito Amazon a meno di 100€). Unica cosa il montaggio è un po' complesso perchè il retro ha una sporgenza rotonda di circa 3 cm e al centro il buco per far passare il filo elettrico. Ma per il resto ingrandisce il giusto e la luce è ottima, si accende quando ci si avvicina a circa 30 cm e si spegne in automatico; c'è anche un pulsantino fisico per togliere la corrente.

Best mirror I've tried. Most natural light. Easy to install- hardwired. Functions well and looks great.

This thing is great, I connected it to a light switch circuit for power.
