Review on Magnifying Mirror - Suction Cup (15X - Three Suction Cups) by Alex Tinker

We're in the home stretch of a recent bathroom remodel and the old medicine cabinet off to the side of the sink had a door to which I'd secured an old magnifying mirror with a couple Command Strips. This allowed me to open the door, attend to some close-up grooming, close the door, and nobody would be the wiser because the mirror was attached to the inside of the door.Unfortunately, that old medicine cabinet went away in the remodel and was replaced with an in-wall, but doorless medicine cabinet. While we added three other medicine cabinets on an adjacent wall, the orientation of their mirrored doors (perpendicular to the wall in front of me) prevented my sticking my old magnifying mirror on the inside of one of those doors because I'd then have to lean and twist my torso to use it, so no go. (In the interest of avoiding confusion with the magnifying mirror), I will hereafter refer to these mirrored doors as "glass" in this review.)The main options available to me were:- Wall-mount mirror: I'd rather not poke holes in our brand-new walls.- Freestanding mirror: the vanity is small (like 24" x 24"), so not a lot of free counter space.- Suction-cup mirror: I could attach it to the glass directly behind the vanity/sink.The third route seemed like the best one, so I ordered the 7x version of this item and, as usual, it arrived pretty quickly.I was a little worried that its suction cups might be flimsy, but they seem decent. I also saw some reviews questioning the magnification power and I don't even know how I'd know if it was 5x or 7x or 6.318x, but when I test-fit things by holding the mirror up to the glass and leaning a little over the sink, I was pleased with the arrangement. I could see my nostrils and ears quite clearly and that was the plan.Side-note: before attaching the magnifying mirror to the glass, I gently rotated its three suction cups so that the little tab was near the circumference of the mirror. This would allow me to grab each tab when the time came to remove the mirror, whenever that might be.Another note: Before applying the three suction cups to the glass, I gently rubbed a small amount of "oil" from my finger on to each suction cup, as I believe that a super-light film of oil increases the quality of the seal the cup makes on the glass. Now that I reflect on it, I realize that might be an urban legend, but it hasn't fallen yet. (Admittedly, it's just been a few hours.)The magnifying mirror was reasonably priced and I see no flaws or distortion in the image. If the suction cups stay put for a while (I might give the entire thing a gentle pull every few months to see if it's about ready to give way), this item meets my needs perfectly. Thanks!(And I guess I should be super-clear: I've received nothing free, no discount, no coupon, nothing in exchange for any aspect of this review; I paid for this item entirely by myself.)
