This is an excellent mirror for applying and removing makeup.  Also, it is amazing how much better I can catch those stray eyebrow hairs!  Although the highly magnified mirror put me in a mild state of shock the first time I looked into it, I have come to appreciate the details I can see despite my aging eyes.  

Pros: Very easy to assemble and mount to wall, quality is excellent, the light works well, the value is definitely there
Cons: I was going to use the plug-in cord, but it is too dark a colour and is rather ugly hanging from the mirror to the outlet in the master bath (clear plastic would be better), so I went with the batteries instead.
