I was really pleasantly surprised when I opened up my NuBrilliance mirror. It was a lot larger than I thought it would be but that's great because when I'm sitting & using it I don't have to bend over at all. It was super easy to charge the light & I'm incredibly impressed with how long one charge has lasted. I only had time to plug it in w/ the included usb charger for 1/2 hour. That small charge has lasted over two weeks. Speaking of light, it's a very soft whitish light which makes it more natural. I especially love how when you hold the button down the light gets brighter. It's been very easy to use & the brightness has not bothered my eyes. The base of the mirror does attract fingerprints very easily but that's to be expected considering it's a metal material. Not a biggie because it looks stylish & sleek.   Now that I have this mirror every last person in my household has tried to use it!
