Review (5/5): Exactly what I wanted!!
I purchased two other mirrors before finding this one, which is a keeper. The mirror is not heavy but has a solid base so it's not going to tip over. The height of the mirror (approx 13 inches) is perfect and allows me to use it without having to set it on something to raise it. The magnification side is great and really lets you see your face clearly, flaws and all. There is no "trick" to getting the magnification side to work, simply move closer to the mirror until the distortion is gone and you can clearly see your face. The unit keeps a charge for at least a week or more and seems to charge fairly quickly when needed. The lights are bright but can be dimmed if you prefer. This mirror is exactly what I wanted and is worth the price.
