At first, I was worried about the weight as a handheld piece since it looked like a very sturdy mirror. I am happy to report it was lighter than expected for it's size and had good balance so I was able to hold it to for a good while. The light lasts for a long time after being charged in the stand so you can take it to another room when needed. The different light settings provide visibility in different settings day or night and the brightness can be adjusted as well! The touch sensor is super responsive and easy to use. I primarily use the mirror when doing skincare and makeup in my room where the lighting is low on the stand so I can be hands free. You can adjust the angle of the mirror which makes it much more convenient and I like the functionality and sleekness of this compared to other similar mirrors. The mini mirror is magnetic and the magnification is insane! You can see every pore on your skin with it so be prepared.
