simplehuman Sensor Mirror Round vs Fancii Vera Lighted Vanity Mirror
Which should you buy? Our verdict on both, pulled from our full The Best Lighted Makeup Mirrors: 4 Compared (and One to Skip) comparison.
The simplehuman combines published brightness, automatic sensor lighting, long battery life, 95 CRI light and a 5-year warranty. The Fancii Vera brings the same 95 CRI rating and a full-face view for less.
simplehuman Sensor Mirror Round
Buy itA premium 5x mirror that turns on as you approach and publishes its brightness range.
- Motion sensor lights the mirror as your face approaches; touch control adjusts brightness from 100 to 800 lux.
- tru-lux lighting rated at 95 CRI and designed to simulate natural sunlight, with sunlight and candlelight settings and 5x magnification.
- One charge lasts about five weeks, and simplehuman gives it a 5-year warranty.
- Premium price, close to the RIKI SKINNY's.
- 5x magnification is less suited to full-face blending than a 1x mirror, even though simplehuman says you can still see your whole face.
- A full charge takes 4 to 8 hours depending on the charger.
Fancii Vera Lighted Vanity Mirror
Buy itA full-face vanity mirror with color-accurate 95 CRI lighting for less.
- Tru-Glow LED lighting rated at 95 CRI for accurate color.
- Three dimmable light settings with smart touch control.
- Rechargeable battery rated up to 10 hours per charge, USB plug-in option, 30-minute auto shutoff and a warranty Fancii lists as both 12 and 24 months on the same page.
- 1x magnification only; detail work needs a separate magnifier.
- Battery life is quoted in hours, not weeks, so it needs charging more often than the simplehuman.
- Fancii publishes no lux figure.
