Review on πŸ’„ Wobsion Lighted Compact Mirror - Rechargeable Travel Makeup Mirror with 1x/3x Magnification and 300Β° Flip Folding, Portable and Dimmable, Handheld Mirror with 2-Sided Magnetic Switch - Perfect Gifts for Girls by Scott Gamache

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Useful magnification, no distortion, unusual charging

This mirror was so close to perfection. I love that it offers 1X and 3X instead of the 1X and 10X that have become so common in travel mirrors. The 3x zoom provides enough magnification but still allows you to actually see the reflection without getting so close to the image that you can't do anything like apply makeup or pluck your eyebrows. I find the 1X lit side useless as the light will cause the image to be shaded instead of lit. However, it works to place the illuminated side on a surface and use it to illuminate the magnified side. I just wish the mirror was a little bigger. This is another rechargeable item I've seen, although it has a USB-C port for charging, but won't charge with a USB-C charger! Instead, you'll need to use a USB-A to USB-C cable (one included). My understanding is that a simple resistor would allow this to work properly, but the manufacturers of many of these inexpensive products don't seem to care. In fact, the only benefit of the USB-C connector here is that it's easier to plug in than MicroUSB. I can't give it 5 stars because it's really too small, but as a street mirror it definitely deserves 4 stars.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
