WV2 Fog Proof Shower Mirror for Best Shaving and Make-Up Removal

After five years of daily use I just recently replaced this mirror with a new one. The old one broke off at the base. But after five years of use, I thought that I had got my moneys worth.It's easy to install, just unscrew your shower head and put the mirror attachment onto the pipe, then put the shower head back on. The head will now be about two inches lower then it was before. As a nice added touch, plumbers tape, to put on the threads, is included.It does what it says it will; it is totally fog proof. Yes, as some of the other reviewers say, it is cheap. Hey, it's only $20 bucks, but it works. It has been an indispensable part of my morning routine, as there is no sink in my bathroom. I have to shave in the shower.It's true that the mirror is heavy and will sag, but in my case, it sits well above me and it's not a problem, plus, if you twist the arm, bending it into an S shape,it will tighten up and stay in place.There was a comment that the water that goes through the mirror is wasted water. In some respects that is true, and being as I am from California that is something to consider. Looking at how it works, the water that goes through the mirror is being taken from the water stream that would have gone on you, so at the end of the shower, you are using no more water than you would have without the mirror in place.One added note about saving water; the mirror attachment allows you to cut the main shower head flow in half. So when I shave or soap up, I turn that little lever, and I am using much less water than before, and it's much easier then shutting off and all ​the water. All in all, doing it this way you save water.

I've owned 4 shaving mirrors in my life. The first was identical to this one. After several years, it deteriorated in a way that I don't quite remember (no, they don't last forever), so I had to buy a new one. I looked for one exactly like this one, but, in those Internet-infancy days, couldn't find one. So I bought a different type -- the kind that sticks on the wall, but does not have hot water running down its back. That didn't work at all -- fogged up and fell from the wall again and again. So I bought a more expensive (more metal instead of plastic) version of the hot-water-down-the-back type. It was never as effective as the plastic type, and it eventually began to leak at the joints. When it was time to replace it, I was able to find this one -- like my first one. It's the best.Now the valves on it are pretty flimsy and creaky, but I do a one-time adjustment and leave as is. I also keep my back-of-the-mirror trickle so small that about half the mirror does indeed fog up. But that's fine because I don't need a whole mirror to shave. If you were determined to have the whole mirror clear, it would be trivial to open the back-of-the-mirror flow enough to do that, but then you'd be wasting water.

Shaving in the shower is something I've been doing for many years, and I think it's the only way to go. You can stand up straight and really get your face wet and soapy.For many years, I have used a very cheap suction cup fog free mirror. I'm sure I've used mirrors costing less than $10, that have lasted for years.I have always wanted one of these mirrors with the circulating water. Now, my current apartment has a shower stall where the surface is not compatible with a suction cup, so I bought this one.The product works pretty much as advertised, however, I have two criticisms:1) The plastic piping is very weak. It doesn't support the mirror in the exact position I want, but, it's workable. I wonder how long it will last before it leaks, comes apart, or becomes even weaker and I have to adjust to it, rather than it adjusting to me.2) It needs a LOT of water to be fog-free. I really don't like wasting water, and this bothers me. The water that circulates through the mirror just spits out the bottom, and is wasted.

I find this mirror to be a little small and the cord a little too short for me to be able to see into fully. My 5'11" husband seems to use it with little issue, although when it comes to shaving his neck, he does need to stand on his tipie-toes. However, it does work as advertised as far as I can tell. I'll see a little fog on the mirror from time to time but it's never completely covered. Would work great for someone whose shower is lower and/or someone who is taller than 5'2".

I bought one of the plastic ones directly from ShowerTek back in the 90's and had it for 10 years before it broke. Then I bought 3 more around 2007. The first one broke about a month into use. I complained to ShowerTek and they sent me one of their $100 metal ones. Each of the 3 plastic ones I bought in '07 broke shortly after I started using it. The metal one is great, I highly recommend it even though it;s pricey. I was just on ShowerTek's site and they aren't selling the plastic one anymore. Smart move. Supposedly there is a new model coming out. About time.

I bought this product for my boyfriend. He wanted a fogless mirror to shave with in the shower. I read lots of different reviews and picked this one based on its good reviews. I think my boyfriend is very happy with it. It does not fog up, and he comes out of the shower with a great shave all the time.I think the only small issues with it are that you do need to turn it on before you turn the shower on to allow waterflow to the mirror. Make sure you turn it off once you turn the shower off if you are not going to use it again. You cannot turn it on and off while the shower is running because of all of the waterpressure. Although I haven't noticed a difference in waterpressure when the mirror is recieving waterflow.Also its not that long. My boyfriend is very tall and with the mirror attached to the top of the shower head, the "shaft" of the mirror is not very long. I am not tall enough and unfortunately I cannot use the mirror. Something to consider if you are a shorter person when purchasing this product, or if your showerhead is set higher in your shower.
