Customer Reviews of Adagio Marketing ShowerTek WV2 The Original Fog Free Shower MirrorCustomer Review: Yes, It works!!!! Update: No longer use it Summary: 2 Stars
After reading the reviews, I decided to take a chance and buy this mirror, as I am tired of replacing other fog free mirrors once their coating wears off.
Yes, the build quality of this product is poor. Yes, it is easy to break apart the bending arm (it pops back together). Yes, the valves are useless - they are much too difficult to turn by hand, and feel that they could break off at any moment. Yes, the fixture could easily leak.
Knowing all of this, if you are careful, you can install the mirror fixture with no problems.
One tip: Because the threads on this mirror are made of plastic, you need to use plenty of teflon tape! In fact, throw away the little bit of tape that they give you and go buy some teflon pipe thread tape from a hardware store. Wrap it around the threads 7-8 times to ensure a good seal (in the clockwise direction)! Do this on both sets of threads (one on the shower head, and one on the mirror fixture). Carefully screw the fixture to the shower pipe, and then the shower head to the mirror fixture. Tighten them snuggly, but gently.
Next, turn on the waters and check for leaks. If there are leaks, tighten the fixtures a little more. If that doesn't solve it, remove the fixtures and thread tape, and try it again, this time with more layers of tape.
Once it is not leaking, adjust the valves so that a trickle of water goes through the mirror. Adjust it so the minimum amount of water is diverted, yet you still get a fog free mirror. Once you have this set, plan never to touch the valves again. I got my fixture put up in about 8 minutes, and it is working great.
Let's hope that the company will improve the next version, or lower the price on the metal fixture versions.
Update Jan 2011 - No longer use this product. The fog free-ness seemed to fade away after 9months. I just use normal fog free mirrors and plan to replace it every christmas.
Description of Adagio Marketing ShowerTek WV2 The Original Fog Free Shower MirrorThis mirror's patented design keeps the entire viewing surface fog free. A small trickle of water diverted from the shower plumbing is sprayed on the back of the mirror. The heat from the water warms the mirror which prevents ALL fog from forming on the front surface. This small trickle of shower water then flows from the back of the mirror onto the shower floor. Crystal clear view guaranteed!
