does the mirror magnify, or is it a regular mirror?

This is only a regular mirror. I'm using it in the shower every day and it still ha yet to fog up.

I am not exactly sure what you mean by a side mirror. If you mean a mirror to use to see the back of your head in another mirror, then I think it won't work well, if at all, because of the magnifying distortion. I need to use a regular mirror to see the back of my head.

It has no lights so power is not necessary. Just a mirror with one side normal and the other side magnified.

There is absolutely no distortion, and the whole mirror is magnified. I love this mirror and use it everyday to put on my make-up. Without it, I'm certain I'd look like a clown. I wish I could get an even stronger x, as my eye sight is getting worse and I need to wear cheaters to increase this magnification. This is one my my best purchases.

The mirror is not distorted. The magnification is great up to a distance of about eight or nine inches. Love my purchase.

Mine wanted to flip to the magnified side, too, but I cut a small sliver out of an adhesive chair pad and stuck it on the side of the mirror. It gives just enough friction to keep the mirror in place, and you can still flip it when you want without it being seen. Problem solved.

Yes, the mirror has two sides. One is magnified and the other is standard. And, BTW, it looks beautiful in my newly remodeled master bathroom.

It's really nice. I've noticed that it's not my "pretty" mirror. It magnifies all flaws.

It's a countertop model. It's on a nice (very stable) base, and the mirror tilts to any angle. The mirror can also be completely reversed, depending on the level of magnification you want to use.

The mirror head tilts up and down but only on the 9x side. You can also twist the mirror head on the 'stem'. The regular magnification side also tilts but away from the face (so you would have to be under the mirror to see yourself). In the product picture, imagine twisting the mirror head so that you are looking at the regular magnification side.

I'm not sure I understand your question. This is a make-up mirror with 15x magnification.

Yes. There definitely is distortion on the magnified side. It's VERY cheaply made. Think of looking in a tin fun house mirror. It takes just the right angle, distance from the mirror & lighting for you to get a clear, normal image. All I can say about this mirror is save your money & get the Conair. Hope this helps.

Yes. This item has mirrors on each side (two sides) and also a magnifying mirror on the reverse side of the centre part.

I love this mirror, it has good magnification and it is perfect for travel.

It is a regular mirror and gives you an accurate view without distortion. It can be adjusted at several angles and has been sturdy with no noticible vibration. Enjoy!!!

No! This is a mirror! It's a complete mirror -even bigger then my regular one- with a viewing screen in the center that also becomes part of the mirror after some time with no activity.

This is a great mirror. I've owned several of this model mirror with different magnifications. Well made.
