This product is more then 2x-3x the cost of seemingly comparable wide-view mirrors. Is it really 2x better, and if so how?

I bought one of the cheaper versions for $20.00 & donated it to good will; I prefer this one even though the distance is distorted--has better view out of right rear side window

I bought this because oftentimes you get what you pay for. This mirror is wonderful! No distortion, very easy to install and takes all the blind spots away. I can still use my sun visor if I choose to. I use it in my 2003 Honda Civic. Wish I would have gotten one a long time ago!!

Hi Adam. these are amazing mirrors, so much so I purchased another for my rental car. Some vehicles have better vision than others but overall i would rate them very highly.Have tried the cheaper ones and threw them away after using the All View in my wife's car. Many thanks

Hi Adam. Sorry forgot to mention this until i saw another person's input. the other thing with these mirrors is that you can also turn them upside down to fit mirror if it is too low on the original one. thanks

I originally bought it for my 2013 BMW and it wasn't tall enough. I put it on our 1997 Honda and its great. I believe it is the construction. It feels solid/heavy and not flimsy. Easy to install.

I have tried other mirrors that I have purchased at Walmart and O'rielly's and they do not compare in any way to this mirror. The mirror is super clear and the area ofview is far greater. I put one on my daughters car, she lives in So. Calif. and was considering selling her car because of blind spots, now she tells us that if she ever sells her car, she will keep the mirror for the next vehicle. It is more expensive and I think it is worth every penny. Stan

I believe it is well worth the money. There is no distortion in the mirror. Like cheep mirrors it's as clear as the one from factory.

In comparison? I can only say that I went with the Xtravision because it seemed like a reasonable trade-off between brightness and longevity. The silver star ultra is advertised as bright as is legal, which means 3 things to me; annoying blue tint that weakens depth perception, so bright that you get other peoples high beams flashed at you a lot, and a significantly shorter life span. I have the Xtravisons in my car and am well satisfied, the better improvement that I made was to replace cloudy headlight lenses, big improvement in crappy weather because light goes out in front rather than scattered UP in front of you.

It is a simple replacement mirror for the existing one. I broke my mirror and glued this one on. It doesn't change the view and does not alleviate any blindspots more than the original one. For your purpose you should get a mirror with some extra small added mirrors. Not sure how you call them.

No it's not the same. There is cheaper version out there for about $50. This one actually has flashing lights around mirrors and talks.

Dear Bruce, At the moment we do not have a sensor mirror with a higher magnification than 5X. We do however appreciate your feedback and I will pass this along to the team. We hope that our products can continue to serve you well for the years ahead. Best, simplehuman

In my opinion you need a better range of optics. There is very little light gathering ability difference between x40 and x42. I would recommend the 8x40 and 10x50's. I know, the 10x50 are heavier but they also are better in low light. You never know when you are going to see something that is a once-in a lifetime occurence. I think it is worth the weight.

Of course, it will magnify your screen image, but the fit won't be perfect - a slight overhang at the edges. The ideal would be to own both the 3" and the 3.2", but then that's another $80.

I believe all magnification gives some natural distortion and this one will at 15x. Overall, I love this 15x mirror because it gives a clear reflection once you are able to find the correct focal point. It took me a little practice to know what distance to look and it's clear. The challenge I have is my eye sight and I need to get closer with good lighting. Hope this helps.

i think this mirror is wider than other mirrors that are available and even more clear! so the quality is better .. but I don't think you can see both kids completely.

Would be iffy at that distance & the screen is so small it may be hard to see what's what. Better to get used to using your mirrors. They work in all occasions.

I looked at it yesterday.. My husband uses this mirror in the shower. I notice that there is a better (wider) view of the face. Not that it make it look bigger, just that I could see more than just my face without struggling with the mirror, holding it just at a close distance.

There is 300 USD difference for a start!You are correct about the mirror. The video auto-focus is far faster and 10fps is the fastest you'll get at that price.

I did not experience any distortion on the 1x side of the mirror. I should mention I wear glasses and that may make a difference. But all-in-all, I would purchase this mirror again. I am very pleased with its function.

I think this is the greatest mirror. I honestly, have 3 of them and could not be without (I am 50 and can't do much anymore without the help of my glasses), but this you can do easily without glasses. Hope you give it a try -- I have tried lessor magnifications, and those were not good -- 15x is terrific. Hope this helps you.

I believe 1X will provide slight magnification beyond what you see in a regular mirror. The mirror I ordered has a 7X magnification on the other side and it is wonderful!

This mirror is amazing and no matter how close you get there is no distortion. It is not like the other magnified mirrors on the market. It has a sensor on top so goes on and off automatically. I love mine!

Yes, 1X is a regular mirror and the other side is very magnified. You can see every pore in your face lol.
