If you are looking for an upgrade from the average mirror, let me tell you, get yourself one of these! The controls are built into the mirror and are touch sensitive. It has a heater in the back so steamed up glass is a thing of the past. The light that comes out is very uniform and leaves no shadows on you face. The connection cord in the back is long enough so that if the light/outlet box is behind the mirror anywhere, you'll reach it. I can recommend this enough. It's a bit of a splurge but very worth it.
