Start with where you’ll use it, then measure your space.

• Tabletop vanity: Compact tri-folds are great for desks and dressers. Check the mirror’s folded footprint so it fits your surface and stores easily.
• Wall-mounted vanity: Measure the wall width and height above your sink or dresser, and leave room for the side panels to open without hitting fixtures.
• Full-length: If you need head-to-toe views (gym, dance, closet), look for standing or wheeled three-way mirrors and confirm ceiling height and floor clearance.
• Features: Consider magnification (2X/3X/10X), LED lighting, or anti-fog if it’s for a bathroom.

Comparing dimensions on each product page can help you choose a size that fits your routine and room.

Mounting methods vary by mirror, so it’s best to follow the included instructions and consider your wall type.

• Wall mounting: Use the provided hardware or anchors rated for the mirror’s weight. Securing into studs is often recommended for heavier mirrors.
• Level and clearance: Use a level and leave space for the side panels to swing freely and for doors or drawers nearby.
• Door mounting: If designed for doors, attach with the specified hooks or straps. Avoid adhesives or hooks not listed by the manufacturer.
• Standing models: Place on a flat surface and engage locking wheels if included.

When in doubt—especially with larger mirrors—consider professional installation to help ensure a stable, safe setup.

Power options differ by model, so checking the product details is helpful.

• Rechargeable: Some mirrors charge via USB, which can reduce cord clutter and help with portability.
• Plug-in: Others use a standard cord for consistent power during longer makeup or grooming sessions.
• Dual power: Certain styles offer USB power and battery backup.
• Lighting controls: Many include dimmable brightness and multiple color temperatures (warm, neutral, daylight) to match your environment.

Use only the recommended cables and keep cords dry. If you’re using a bathroom outlet, choose a safe, properly installed outlet and follow the mirror’s safety guidelines. Product pages list exact power requirements and what’s included.

A gentle approach helps keep the glass and finishes looking clear.

• Glass: Dust with a dry microfiber cloth. For smudges, use diluted dish soap or ammonia-free glass cleaner sprayed onto the cloth (not directly on the mirror).
• LED areas: Wipe lightly around seams, touch controls, and charging ports to avoid moisture getting inside.
• Frames: For metal frames, use a soft, damp cloth; for wood, a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid abrasives.
• Anti-fog features: If your mirror has a defog function, follow the manual. Adding aftermarket coatings may affect clarity.

Fold panels carefully after drying, and clean hinges periodically to help panels move smoothly.

Small adjustments can make styling or self trims more comfortable.

• Set the height: Hang or place the mirror around eye level and stabilize it per the instructions.
• Angle the panels: Tilt side panels to see both sides and the back of your head. Step back a bit to widen your view.
• Lighting: Use bright, even light. If your mirror has LED modes, daylight or neutral settings can help with color accuracy.
• Tools and safety: Keep clippers, combs, and ties within reach and cords clear. Follow your tools’ guidelines.
• Portable setups: Use only the hooks or straps designed for door mounting, and avoid improvised attachments.

Take your time and adjust the angles as needed for clearer sightlines.
