I wouldn't drive without it

My car has an awkward blind spot so I looked for a solution and found these mirrors. Holy Hanna! Doesn't matter! Now I don't have to break my neck to see if someone is in the back of my car. Now I can see the full length of both sides of my car. This is my second mirror. My first one broke after many years. This is perhaps the only downside; The "legs" that attach it to the car mirror can break off fairly easily if you don't properly attach or detach the mirror. So read the instructions first.

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Functionality

Disappointed with replacement parts

I was hoping that this mirror would increase my field of vision but nothing of the sort happened. The reason I chose this device was because of its relatively small size. At 11.8 inches in diameter, it was smaller than many other mirrors, allowing it to fit in my car without interfering with my sun visors. In that sense it worked perfectly. It's also well built, the mirror is glass and the legs that cling to your existing mirror are solid and won't allow this mirror to wobble or wobble while…

Pros
  • Sturdy workmanship
Cons
  • Quality

Not a wide angle, but larger than standard mirrors!

I first ordered a 10" which turned out to be warped (and too small) so I returned it and a 12" (11.8" to be exact) Bought it and I'm happy. It's definitely not panoramic, which doesn't bother me, but it's also not "wide angle" as some people think, wide angle is.It's definitely larger than the manufacturer's original stock mirror and allows for one clear and wide view of all vehicles from behind. I can even see my two children in the back seat by tilting the mirror down. I would like the angle…

Pros
  • practical item
Cons
  • There are new competitors

The viewing window is slightly larger

This mirror is longer than the standard Honda Accord mirror but I don't feel like I can see much more. A slight increase I'm sure due to its size, but maybe it's just that I've been compensating for small mirrors all along. One issue I haven't thought of is that the fold down sun visor hits the mirror due to its size. So if you live in a sunny area (I live in Southern California) you'll be constantly adjusting your mirror every time you need to lower your sun visor as the visor hits your…

  • Good thing
Cons
  • Dear

The best ratio of price and quality.

Amazing clarity compared to other wide angle mirrors I've bought. RAZO/Carmate has always offered a great product at an affordable price. I recently purchased a wide angle convex mirror from a large store and was disappointed with the overall quality. 300mm might be excessive for a small car as it will take up some space on the windscreen but transferred to my full size pickup this should have been an OEM in the first place. I would recommend convexity for some applications with significant…

Pros
  • Easy-to-read control panel
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

Lots of vibes.

It didn't really help me see better but I didn't give it any stars for it as it appears to be a design of my car and not a mirror defect. I would advise potential buyers to hold a couple of mirrors in their car before ordering to see if it really helps them. It increased my field of vision, but it only helped me see more inside my car. I wanted to use it anyway because it would allow me to see my kids better in the back seats, but the vibration was too distracting. I gave it 2 stars for that…

Pros
  • Dope 🔥
Cons
  • Will do

Pretty good during the day.

Good price, easy to install and clear picture. It has improved my rear view compared to the factory rear view mirror, allowing me to see things behind my car better (bigger and closer). It works much better compared to the factory rearview mirror and another product of the same type on my parent's car. The reason I'm voting 4 to 5 is because my main purpose of the purchase is to "reduce glare at night" but that's not enough for the job. It could do some work (I'm not sure because I can't remove

Pros
  • Easy to install
Cons
  • dim

This is not the mirror you are looking for

I am usually very honest with reviews and although it is only one star it deserves it here even for a $12 product. The package came in an envelope which was quite alarming but it wasn't opened. When I opened it I found the box with the mirror was already open and covered in some kind of sticky substance which made me think I was already getting the item back, or worse. The mirror itself was broken inside. I think they really wanted to test the "safety glass" claim by putting it in an envelope…

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Some minor issues
