Product Description
High magnification, versatile illumination, and multi-angle viewing make this tri-fold mirror from Jerdon a virtual cockpit of makeup application. Structured for panoramic viewing, the mirror features two adjustable side panels, plus a center section with regular reflection on one side and 5X magnification on the other. Two bars of fluorescent lighting offer cool, glare-free illumination, and the color-correct light menu lights your face for day or evening, the office or home. A built-in outlet accommodates curling irons and roller sets, while an adjustable backstand offers 11 angles to work from. The entire unit folds up flat for storage.

Though the mirror does not feel as substantial as the company's all-metal models, it does roll several features into one compact model. In addition, the reflection is consistently clear, and the side panels stay put where you place them. Fully extended, the mirror measures 19 by 12 inches. Jerdon includes a one-year warranty. --Emily Bedard

I Read all the Negative Reviews and Bought this Mirror
 
Review Date: June 4, 2006
Reviewer: A. Kalman, Philadelphia
My wife's makeup mirror lost much of the mirroring material.
So, she needed a new one.
This mirror is similar to the older style type I bought for her as a gift many years ago from Basco.
This is a Very large triple makeup mirror with two Bright 9 watt flourescent light tubes.
18 Watt Florescent = about 100 Watts incandescent.
IMO, Appears to be one of the brightest makeup mirror avalable.
I looked at the ConAirs and we almost purchased one of the round styles with the light inside.
(but I realized they are not very bright)

I carefully read the negative reviews about this product.
That is why I had to take a chance and buy this mirror.
The reviews that caught my attention were that you need a professional electrical person to replace the bulbs.
And the reviewers that mentioned that the bulbs burned out after a few uses.

I have some electrical experience with light tubes.

My wife told me the bulbs burned out right away.

I came in and had to have a quick look.
No, The lights are not burned out.
The trick is the light is manufactured with the old fashion preheat ballast tubes. (old reliable technology)
In order to light the bulbs you must hold the "ON" switch DOWN for 5 to ten seconds then the lights light and you let go of the switch.

The light bulbs are very bright and should work well for years if you do not damage or drop the mirror.

My wife complains that she has to hold the "ON" button down.
But, the mirror is indeed extremely bright.

Good Luck if you buy this mirror.
Hope my tip helps you.








Simply the best.

When a similar make-up mirrow that I had had for years finally died on me last year, I went out searching for a replacement. I tried the new style oval ones. They were just awful. The mirror was too small and the lighting was depressing. Then I found this one. It's wonderful. You get a decent sized front mirror and two side mirrors that are especially helpful to someone like me who is very myopic. The lighting somehow manages to be extremely flattering (which helps you feel better about yourself) while at the same time shows everything you need to see and possibly alter a bit.

I'm sorry about the reviewer who had a problem with the lights, but that was probably just something that went wrong with one mirror. Mine is a treasure and infinitely superior to the newer style ones out there today.
Love it!!!

My old mirror finally died after over 15 years of use. (It didn't survive the move to the new house.) I was thrilled to find that it was still being made, and couldn't be happier with it. It was torture for the week that I had to live without it. It provides the perfect lighting for applying make-up or tweezing my eye brows. I just hope that this one lasts as long as the previous one!!!
Definitely worth taking the time to use properly!

I have been using a mirror such as this one since I got handed-down my grandmother's old Clairol model in my teens. From the 5 or 6 models I have owned (all manner of brands and price ranges) this one is by far the best. It is brighter, and manages to reduces the "dark spots" that are so common in mirrors like this one.

The reviewer previous, who stated that the trick is in holding the "on" button, was exactly correct. I can see where less-patient souls may claim that the bulbs are burnt out or that the appliance is defective. More than likely, it is an operator error.

The mirror is sturdy and the adjustable angles are very helpful for using on various surfaces, such as when traveling. I will definitely look for this brand IF this mirror ever needs to be replaced.
This is the highest quality lighted mirror you will find.

I just ordered this for my mother. We received it and it was a surprise at every turn. First of all we got it in less than two days and it arrived via Fed Express (no extra charge). Then the packaging was among the best I have seen with glass products. But no peanuts or shredded paper mess all over everywhere when you opened the box. The product itself: The weight is a good solid weight. It has multiple angles you can place it at and the stand that you do this with, is heavy gauge metal that is placed in various grooves; not ALL plastic that you fear breaking, everytime you reset the angle. The lighting on both sides is done with tubular as opposed to "Nite Lights" that are used on many mirrors. This produces a phenomenal quality of lighting. There are multiple settings for the type of lightening, depending on the type needed: for outside, office, home, daytime, night time, etc. The large middle mirror can be flipped to reveal a 5x magnified mirror. Another plus is that there is a plug outlet on it so that you could plug in electric rollers, hair dryer or any electric device needed at your vanity. I have owned many make up mirrors in the last thirty years and I hesitated on this at first, because I was not familar with the name brand. I am sure glad I ordered it anyway. Tonight I am ordering another one for myself. I have a lighted mirror already, but I cannot pass on this one. I will use my other one for traveling. You cannot miss with this product. It is worth every extra dollar. And the store that it comes from, is stellar!
Great lighted makeup mirror.....Finally found one !!!

Reviewer: Sallyann Colucci, New Jersey
This Jerdon makeup mirror is just as bright as Clairol's True-To-Light makeup mirror which was discontinued years ago. It's sturdy and magnification is not distorted. The popular oval mirrors out today don't compare in brightness or value for the price. Recommending this to anyone who was a fan of the Clairol mirror. The power button works by pressing and holding down for just a few seconds until the bulbs start to glow; which is typical of fluorescent type of bulbs, and totally normal (worked the same way on the discontinued Clairol True-To-Light).
Works great for me!

Don't let the good doc scare you off. His wife may have gotten a lemon, but I've used mine daily for several months now, even dropped it once, and it has performed beautifully. Good make-up mirror at a great price!
Great value

Reviewer: Christine Raynes, Grand Rapids, MI
These tri-fold rectangular lighted mirrors are almost impossible to find in the stores anymore, and if you do find one, there is ususally a lot of distortion on the magnified side. This mirror has very little distortion if any, on the magnified side. Good lighting and the selection of light settings is nice. I love this mirror and it's a great value. It's far superior to the round lighted mirrors that now dominate the market.
Exactly what I was looking for!

Reviewer: T. Frieze, Middletown, DE
Was looking to replace an old "True to Light" mirror without success- I have been to all of my local retail stores and was unable to find a suitable replacement. This one has bright lighting and an extra outlet and is so much better than those smaller cirle mirrors that are popular right now. Unlike other reviews, I've had no issues with the on button.
Great value for the price also.
Just fine!

My ancient Remington makeup mirror with fluorescent tubes for lighting was the same style as this Jerdon. I had to go without a makeup mirror for a couple days until this arrived. I did an exhaustive online search to find an old style mirror. I hate the new round mirrors with halo lighting that one finds at Target, Sharper Image, Bed, Bath and Beyond, etc. I can't see with the new lighting. I am pleased with the mirror, and I can't tell the difference between it and the old Remington. I've had no problems with it, and it's better than anything else out there. I'm just thrilled to have an old-style mirror again! For the price, style, and availability, it's great! After a couple days without a lighted mirror, the need for tweezers really showed up on it! It works well for me!
