Take stock of the mirrors in your current home. Since it’s subjective and dependent on your personal context, we can’t really tell you one size range that’s good. But how can you tell what a good size is? So size is one of those all-important fundamentals to keep in mind before you look at everything else. So while you should definitely keep your ideal features in mind, you should pay attention early-on to the basics of what you’d want out of a mirror. You still want a mirror first and foremost, right?įor most people, this would be the case. But here’s the thing about picking a smart mirror: The framed version is a bit more expensive at $270 (with the same 25% off discount) and features a 1,5 cm aluminum frame your choice of 4 standard colors.It’s very easy to get caught up in the excitement about smart features. The Beveled-cut MirroCool is available for pre-order for $225 (25% off the retail price of $299) and measures 60 x 80 cm or approximately 23.5” x 31.5”, while the glass is ¼ thick glass with thick silver nitrate coating. While I’d find it depressing to have the news on all the time, you can definitely see the value of the traffic updates and especially the other functions the MirroCool offers. I don’t know about you but I like the idea of having updates in the mirror when I get ready for work.

Imagine you start your day like you normally do: by looking in your mirror and getting dressed. You can choose from a beveled-cut or framed MirroCool, but both models have the same functions.
