New West Perfume

Reviews

This is a great product. I decided to get the more expensive one for my boyfriend (there's a plastic model that's cheaper that people basically said it's cheap and cheaply made). I've only had it a few weeks, but it installed very easily, after a minute or so it's totally fog-free, there's no water that's wasted as it get recycled back into the shower stream. I originally bought one that was mounted in the shower either by suction cup or sticky backing, neither worked in my shower. Likely because it's a tiled shower and the surface for suction or adhesive is not ideal (added to wetness in the shower). My only criticism is one that I expected because many people said it about the plastic model. It comes with a small amount of plumber's tape and to get a really tight fit, you need more. There's a little drip at the connection, but it still works well. I'll just get more tape to make a tighter fit. I say it's well worth the money since, in theory, you shouldn't need to get another one--ever. There's no fog-less coating to wear off since it uses the water you shower with and it's built into your shower, so it wont fall down.

I've used ShowerTek mirrors for years, starting with the white plastic one. They've all worked (functioned) flawlessly. I've had this model now for about 4 years and need to replace it as all of the fittings are beginning to leak. The worst thing about all of ShowerTek's mirrors is their short "neck". My shower stem is very high and I actually have to angle the mirror down in order to use it. Why don't they make an extended version? I can't be the only person who has had this problem.

I've used the original white plastic ShowerTek for many years, and absolutely LOVE it! It doesn't look like much though, and I once tried to switch over to this one as it's much more esthetically appealing. It doesn't WORK though. It fogs up as bad as the so-called fog-free mirrors that are supposed to have some kind of fog-free coating on them but only seem to stay fog-free for about one day. I went back to the original white plastic model. They're no longer available, unfortunately, so hopefully ShowerTek will come out with a new model that both looks nice AND works!

Out of the box, this mirror fogs up every time I use it. I assume that something must be blocking the little copper pipe inside. Sometime soon I will remove it and take a look to see if it can be fixed. If not, it's going right back to Amazon. Update 5/13/2008 - After moving and reinstalling this mirror in my new shower, I noticed a little tube inside the connector that must have been blocked when I first installed it. I unbent the tube, installed it, and it works GREAT! My rating changes from two stars to 5! Just be sure to clean it often ... small water spots can occur if it's not consistently maintained. (Everything needs to be maintained, though, doesn't it?)

If it weren't so expensive, it would've gotten 5 stars. Works as advertised. Probably pays for itself over years since you don't have to keep buying $15 dollar mirrors that scratch when you wipe them down. Reversible feature is great. I use just one side and turn it around when done. That way the side I use stays clean without water spots. Easy to install. Very sturdy.
