Customer Reviews of Adagio Marketing ShowerTek WV2 The Original Fog Free Shower Mirror
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.

Customer Review: Best buy
Summary: 5 Stars
I've owned 4 shaving mirrors in my life. The first was identical to this one. After several years, it deteriorated in a way that I don't quite remember (no, they don't last forever), so I had to buy a new one. I looked for one exactly like this one, but, in those Internet-infancy days, couldn't find one. So I bought a different type -- the kind that sticks on the wall, but does not have hot water running down its back. That didn't work at all -- fogged up and fell from the wall again and again. So I bought a more expensive (more metal instead of plastic) version of the hot-water-down-the-back type. It was never as effective as the plastic type, and it eventually began to leak at the joints. When it was time to replace it, I was able to find this one -- like my first one. It's the best.
Now the valves on it are pretty flimsy and creaky, but I do a one-time adjustment and leave as is. I also keep my back-of-the-mirror trickle so small that about half the mirror does indeed fog up. But that's fine because I don't need a whole mirror to shave. If you were determined to have the whole mirror clear, it would be trivial to open the back-of-the-mirror flow enough to do that, but then you'd be wasting water.

Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this mirror because I was tired of replacing the other so called fog free mirrors so frequently. I have had this one for about a month and so far no sign of fogging at all. It is very easy to install. The shut off valves do not work at all which means that the water is constantly running behind the mirror. It reduces water pressure a bit going to the shower head but not enough to bother me. Overall, while not perfect, I would recommend this to anyone who likes shaving in the shower because it stays fog free where others do not.
