What is the advantage compared to using a standard mirror with a $60 mirror defogging pad?

In the shower area, you cannot use the 110/120 volt defogging pad. No building code will allow it. It can only be used on a vanity mirror that is outside of the shower. The pad that is adherred to the back of the Shower ClearMirror is made specifically for use in the shower with a 24 volt transformer.

I think this device is for repairing auto safety glass. Two panes of glass molded and glued together. Mirror glass is usually single pane and the pressure of the sealant might even spread the crack. I would say no. Buy a new mirror.

It is hard to secure the film in a way that is optically flat. The film transmits some small amount of light, therefore it may not be as relective as a good mirror. The adhesive side is less refective, as you might expect.

I wish I could agree with your statement. However, this unit, while better than the competing units offered for roughly the same price, doesn't defrost windows so much as defog them and and keep them that way. Like its competitors, it does not put out heat like a car's internal heater core. A bowl of warm water will do the job much more quickly. But as I said, this will keep your windshield from fogging up.

I tried to find out the same thing, and couldn't get an answer. I ended up buying a mirror separately, and it looks fine.

Not really. If you just do a bit of maintenance daily... you will be shocked at how terrific this tool is. It will even get fine little peach fuzz. Oh sure, occasionally there is a hair that is just odd and it just does not get. I don't even bother with a mirror though unless I get one like that.

It is a simple replacement mirror for the existing one. I broke my mirror and glued this one on. It doesn't change the view and does not alleviate any blindspots more than the original one. For your purpose you should get a mirror with some extra small added mirrors. Not sure how you call them.

I recommend using the relocated mirrors when the doors are off and using the original mirrors when the doors are on. In other words, I didn't bother relocating the mirrors but kept an extra set for "door-off" driving.

It's a good mirror but it doesn't give more blind spot coverage than a standard mirror. I don't think it alleviates blind spots. We used it to replace a cracked mirror and it was easy to install and has been a good replacement, but it doesn't give a fuller view than our previous mirror.

I did not experience any distortion on the 1x side of the mirror. I should mention I wear glasses and that may make a difference. But all-in-all, I would purchase this mirror again. I am very pleased with its function.

This is not my experience. My mirror is fabulous. I see no distortion on the "sides". Granted, with 15x magnification, you cannot look at the mirror from a distance. You have to be up close. I bought two of these mirrors. One for my Mother and one for myself. No regrets...would most definitely buy it again.

Somewhere I read that the DGX version has better anti-reflective coatings than the DG version...supposedly better for digital cams. Whether that is true or not I do not know...

As well as any other telescope. At least the mirror is protected from condensation by the front corrector plate. You can also get an inexpensive dew shield to keep the corrector plate from fogging up. There are dark filters that will also cut out light pollution.

In my Mazda it removes my blind spots, I am a big fan of this mirror. Its a little thinner than one I had in the past, but works well.

I do not notice any visual distortion, although if objects have different focal lengths, there will be a natural distortion. The concavity of the mirror does an excellent job of compensating. Re: Large-since that is a subjective, I really cannot comment. I can only state that I can see my entire well lighted face and more flaws than I care to comment on :)

Thanks for asking me to answer you, Myself I am mechanical engineer, with best of knowledge and experience I suggest you 3" for trcuks, technically blind spot mirrors should occupy more than 11% of whole side mirrors. i would suggest 3" or more than that.

I have no idea. I can't feel any difference with it on or off my helmet. Like the other 2 answers below, contact the manufacture...It's a great mirror!
