In updating our bathrooms, we added this mirror inside the medicine cabinet. It fits well and gets a magnifying mirror off of the counter. I love the way the light comes on as you get closer to the mirror. The magnification is just what I need to apply makeup. No more taking my mirror to the window sill! I also like that the mirror is hardwired in. I don’t have another cord getting tangled up in a drawer, hoping to find it when I need to recharge my mirror. This mirror is ideal!
