In the product description is talk of extra-bright LED light. That could suggest that one is blinded when looking in the mirror - but that's not the case. The light ring around the mirror surface has been so well thought out by the engineers that a soft light very evenly falls on the face without irritating even with the strongest setting the slightest eyes. The five-times magnification is such that at an appropriate distance not only a small part of the face can be seen, so you do not have to constantly slide back and forth. Both shaving (for me) and applying makeup (for the wife) this magnification level is ideal, more would be too much. The mirror surface having an excellent workmanship, as there is no distortion and no dull spots on the glass. With more than one kilogram, the vanity mirror is safe and his silver glossy design is of simple elegance, so that it does in most bathrooms or, if available, on the dressing table in the bedroom, should make good. Of course, the automatic shut-off after ten minutes saves power for shaving enough time also completely. If the cosmetics takes a little longer, the rear switch must just be pressed again, the battery operation as when connecting the (begelegten) power cord. Shutdown can not be the function. My conclusion: Not cheap, this make-up mirror of Breuer, but inexpensive all because good workmanship, quality materials and engineering services cost a bit more as cheaper imports from China bruchanfälligem plastic. But this one has actually placed in the long run a good buy.
