Review (5/5): The mirror I was looking for!
I took a chance and bought the refurbished item, 8.5" silver. I've had it about 6 weeks, and I absolutely love it! It's bright enough to do my makeup in my bedroom. The 10x side is a little much, and I'd prefer 5x, but I use it anyway for tweezing, etc. The regular side is clear and distortion-free. I love that you can plug this one in, unlike most of the other LED mirrors, so I don't have to deal with batteries. It does have the option to use batteries, though, so you can walk around with it if you prefer. I would advise you to get this larger 8.5-inch size to the smaller 7.5-inch one...it's just the perfect size and I think I would have been disappointed if it were smaller. The 3 tones are nice, but I always use the "natural" tone. The touch-control works flawlessly. It shuts itself off after 10 minutes so you don't have to worry if you left it on.
