Customer Reviews of Adagio Marketing ShowerTek WV2 The Original Fog Free Shower Mirror
Customer Review: fog free shaving in the shower
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this to replace the identical mirror I had been using every day for about 15 years before it finally gave out. It is totally fog free. The only thing different from the first mirror is the articulating arm does not support the mirror as well as the mirror it replaced. It droops a bit, but that may be due to the fact that the five bladed razor I am hanging on it is heavier now than the older razors. Otherwise I am very happy with the product.

I have owned this in the past and not been satisfied, but when it was the only one available on Amazon with the features I wanted, I got it again and now it's worse than the first one I owned. The first one was only a pain to try to clean and the mirror is not receptive to normal cleaners and gets spotty. The new one has leaks at some of the connection spots and squirts out of the valve switch when the flow of water is opened to de-fog the mirror. So, great, I can shave but now either my walls, floors, or ceiling will be soaked, depending on how I position the bendable arm mount (which, again, also leaks depending on how you bend it).
Customer Review: Very nice item that is well worth the cost.

The only problem with this unit is that it does not clean itself. You still have to wipe the water spots off of the mirror. What is nice is the way the mirror becomes a part of the shower, it is a true hands free mirror. Also what is nice is there is a valve to shut off the water to the shower heard to save money and to save hot water. A added bonus as far as I am concerned. As far as the fog free part. That is ok, I can spray water on the mirror to clean it off if it is fogged up. For me the advantage is having a place for this mirror to attach itself in a secure way so that I do not have to worry about it falling down and having to pick it back up again. I suppose that if you did not splash water on the mirror and got the fog free feature to work, then there would be no water spots to worry about having to clean up after your shower. I wonder if they ever thought about putting a chrome or a gold plate on these units. I suppose anyone with the right equipment could do that though. My hand held shower is a chrome plated plastic unit. Customer Review: Yes, It works!!!!
Summary: 4 Stars
After reading the reviews, I decided to take a chance and buy this mirror, as I am tired of replacing other fog free mirrors once their coating wears off.
Yes, the build quality of this product is poor. Yes, it is easy to break apart the bending arm (it pops back together). Yes, the valves are useless - they are much too difficult to turn by hand, and feel that they could break off at any moment. Yes, the fixture could easily leak.
Knowing all of this, if you are careful, you can install the mirror fixture with no problems.
One tip: Because the threads on this mirror are made of plastic, you need to use plenty of teflon tape! In fact, throw away the little bit of tape that they give you and go buy some teflon pipe thread tape from a hardware store. Wrap it around the threads 7-8 times to ensure a good seal (in the clockwise direction)! Do this on both sets of threads (one on the shower head, and one on the mirror fixture). Carefully screw the fixture to the shower pipe, and then the shower head to the mirror fixture. Tighten them snuggly, but gently.
Next, turn on the waters and check for leaks. If there are leaks, tighten the fixtures a little more. If that doesn't solve it, remove the fixtures and thread tape, and try it again, this time with more layers of tape.
Once it is not leaking, adjust the valves so that a trickle of water goes through the mirror. Adjust it so the minimum amount of water is diverted, yet you still get a fog free mirror. Once you have this set, plan never to touch the valves again. I got my fixture put up in about 8 minutes, and it is working great.
Let's hope that the company will improve the next version, or lower the price on the metal fixture versions.
