I was looking for a make-up mirror with decent magnification. Have lots of reviews read, but then decided to use the 10x magnification, even though there was already "warnings" before too much magnification. I should have listened it. The enlargement is indeed really strong, but you have to go very close to the mirror turn, otherwise you see nothing. Conclusion: I sent him back and now order the 7-times magnification. More is better, so is not always true.
