simplehuman Sensor Mirror Hi-Fi with Alexa, Superb Custom-Designed Audio, Extreme Color Accuracy, Touch Brightness Control, 5X Magnification

I now absolutely love this mirror - after one week of much trouble setting it up. The end result was the Wi-Fi in my house wasn’t strong enough and once I was able to fix our Wi-Fi issues (which was needed) I was able to set it up and it works just like my echo. It’s awesome!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰

I spent 2 weeks contacting Simple Human via email, chat and phone multiple times to finally get told there must be a problem with the syncing mechanism and to return it to where I bought it. It was an excruciating experience. I don’t like that you have to be really close to the mirror to be in focus and to see your whole face. The lights are blinding. I could never get it to set up so my only suggestion is if you do order this and it says it’s connected to another user account or has another syncing issue don’t bother calling customer service and wasting your time just return it, immediately.

I didn't realize how nice it is to have music when getting ready in the morning. I just say, "Alexa, play....." and voila. The lighting is easy to control, and it's got the perfect magnification too. You can't go wrong with this mirror.

I'm updating this review after my cable service provider came out and did some repairs. I knew that the device wasn't the issue because I went to the cell store for help and they connected in less than 5 minutes, so I kept addressing the wifi. It connects easily now. I'm not sure what they did, but it worked. If you have issues with connection like I did it may not be the device but rather something else. I'm enjoying this mirror and love it. end update. The original review remains below just in case it will help someone with set up.I am not able to connect at home, but I can connect at the cell phone store, super easy. So I'm still trying to figure out what is preventing me from the same speed and ease of connection and set up that we all experienced at the T Mobile store. I just want to say that as I went there with my phone and mirror, at first the staff was a bit concerned and confused but very friendly and helpful. What is this? They said. How much is it? They asked. I told them about the mirror and the value, where they could buy one and then told them my issues and that I wanted to get a new phone that would work with the device. They told me I had the best phone, and it should work. So, they 'boom boom boom', had it up and talking to Alexa in 3 minutes or less and everyone was in love with it. I left thinking things would be fine at home and I could do it, and after a reset and another attempt to set up, I still couldn't get the mirror to pair with wifi. I got so far as to be setting up Alexa and the purple wheel just spun forever. I couldn't ever get the mirror to be paired with the app and phone again. I took the mirror back to the store three times, on the second return the staff was greeting the 'mirror'. 'Hello mirror, did you miss me. I missed you'. It was amazing. So, now they want one. That's my review for now.Although I can't connect yet, I am nick named 'pitbull' for my tenacity and I will swing on this rope by my mouth until I get it figured out. 4 stars, just for the lack of detailed instructions about connecting the smart device and Alexa. It assumes a lot, sort of like Calculus assumes you know certain things. I think I need to have a 101 info packet, and other people like me could be better served with full instructions and even a web site with as much detail as you want. I've never had this much issue connecting and even was able to get my smart watch connected and working, so I'm not sure why the mirror app isn't finding the mirror or connecting to alexa or setting up. I will call customer service. I think being specific about wifi connectivity is important because I know I will not be the only person to have this issue and preventing issues like this would be a great idea.

To be honest I initially thought it was ridiculous to have a speaker, actually a Hi-Fi speaker, built into a talking mirror. Then after the initial amusement, I realised the target are people who do spend time in front of a mirror to warrant listening to the news, weather, or music. So to my wife it went.Setup was easy:1. Download the Simple Human Sensor Mirror app.2. Turn on Bluetooth on your Smartphone (if it's not already ON by default)3. Plug the actual mirror into the wall.4. Go through the setup process from the app.Features:1. Auto On lighting as you approach towards the mirror.2. 5x magnification.3. Aluminum construction.4. 95 CRI5. Alex built-in6. Bluetooth 4.2 built-in7. Wi-Fi built-in8. AirPlay 2Limitations:While Alexa built-in is a feature, it isn't tied to the actual mirror. It's like having a mirror and it's auto-on feature and then duct-taping to the body a smart speaker. I expected with the presence of Alexa, the Sensor Mirror can be controlled via voice commands as well (i.e. Alex turn on the mirror light, Alexa change the colour temperature of the light). But they are not tied together. You will need to take out the app to control this.The simple controls are attractive, but it can be frustrating to use as well. The volume and the play/pause button don't have a tactile separation that you can end up pressing the wrong control.The light dimming feature is easy to reach, but there is no control to change the colour temperature of the lighting from office to sunlight. You'll need to change that via the app because again Alexa isn't able to control this being totally separate from the mirror functions.OVERALLThe awesome look and promising integration of voice features, but the lack of actual integration with the mirror controls to the voice controls is disappointing.The price of the mirror doesn't help either.It's a good first release, but doesn't warrant a hallelujah moment. Build full integration and you may have more people to want to buy into the mirror than simply what looks like a mirror and a smart speaker taped together but still separate in function.
