Are you tired of your old, boring mirror that just sits there and reflects your face back at you? Well then, it’s time to upgrade to the ultimate in mirror technology: the smart mirror.
Depending on what features you want, a smart mirror can give you up-to-date information on the weather, the time, the indoor temperature, and more, or, you can choose to listen to your favorite music via Bluetooth – whether you are getting ready to start your morning or relaxing in the tub at the end of a long day.
In fact, installing a smart mirror is exactly what we chose to do recently when renovating what looked more like a prison cell than a luxury bathroom before we moved in (as you can see in the estate agent photo below left). Below right is the same bathroom as it is now with our new smart mirror installed.
We love how the lighting from the smart mirror softens and enhances the overall look of our bathroom. I am personally very impressed with the anti-mist feature which keeps the surface of the mirror clear and steam-free so I can now use the bathroom mirror to do my makeup.
Smart mirrors don’t all have the same features, so it can be a little confusing to work out what each model does and doesn’t have. Below is a list of the main features that smart mirrors will allow you to do:
Different Features of Smart Mirrors:
- Real-time weather updates with recognizable weather icons
- Indoor temperature and humidity readings
- Alarm settings to help keep you on schedule
- Bluetooth connectivity
- Dimmable or color-changing lighting options
- Anti-mist pad for a clear center of the mirror
- Magnifying area for makeup or shaving, with some models featuring a lighted magnifying area.
Now, not just any smart mirror will do. You want the best, and that’s where we come in. We’ve scoured the internet, tested the products, and ranked them from good to great to absolute perfection. And the winner, drumroll please… is the BYECOLD Vanity Touch Switch Bathroom Mirror.
The BYECOLD Vanity Touch Switch Bathroom Mirror is a cut above the rest, with its impressive array of features. The connection to the WiseMirror app gives you real-time weather updates, while the touch button lets you adjust the color temperature on the fly. And if you’re worried about fogging up the mirror, fear not โ the anti-fog function kicks in immediately, clearing up the mirror in just 5-10 minutes. This mirror is built to last, too, with its durable, armored glass and IP54 waterproof rating. Plus, it comes in a range of sizes and configurations to suit any wall space and has a 1-year warranty for peace of mind. All in all, it’s a versatile and functional choice that blows the competition out of the water.

The mirror is controlled by a sensitive smart touch button that allows you to adjust the color temperature to your liking. Simply switch the button on the black box at the back of the mirror and you can freely switch between 3000k and 6000k colors.

What about durability I hear you say? Well, this mirror is made of strong, armored glass that won’t easily break. Even if it does, it won’t shatter into pieces like regular glass would. The LED strips also come with a silvered reflection layer and are copper-free and environmentally friendly. Plus, the mirror has an IP54 waterproof rating, ensuring safe lighting in even the wettest of bathroom environments.
Installation is a breeze too, with four pairs of dowels and screws included in the package. And with the smart touch switch, you can easily access the mirror’s three major functions โ light, defogging, and weather forecast.

Also Consider
Gesipor Smart Bathroom Mirror with Touch Switch
And as we all know bathroom acoustics are perfect – so go ahead and sing along.
A Bluetooth connection lets you play your favorite music with 360-degree surround sound through this stylish, touch-switch smart mirror.
And if your phone rings – you can quickly answer it by pressing the touch switch button on the mirror.
You’ll notice straight away that this mirror (unlike our previous pick) has the light-strip built into the mirror’s design. Although the one we have featured is framed by a mirrored edge, there’s also an option to choose one that has the light strip framing the edge of the mirror.
They are both equally stunning, and whichever design you choose, the light is dimmable and easily adjustable from a 6000K daylight white to a 3000K warm white – with a simple 3-second press of the switch.
Additionally, the mirror features an anti-fogging function that is accessed through a designated button on the display panel and although this mirror doesn’t give you a weather forecast, it does display the temperature as well as the time.
The mirror comes in a range of size options and orientations to suit any bathroom wall space.
The mirror has a 3-year warranty for peace of mind.

Best Budget Option
Homecart Bathroom LED Mirror Sensor Touch
A fab Budget Option with Bluetooth!
The Homecart smart mirror is our budget choice and although it has fewer features than our other two picks, it does have Bluetooth.
At well under $200 it’s suitable for those on a tight budget and is excellent value for money.
Simply connect it to your phone and with a touch of the button, you can play your favorite tunes through the hidden speakers on the back of the mirror. It’s like having your own personal concert while you get ready in the morning.
But this mirror is more than just a speaker. It’s backlit by 4000K LEDs, which provide a cool, neutral light that’s perfect for makeup application, grooming, and skincare. And if you’re worried about fogging up the mirror after a steamy shower, fear not โ it has an anti-fog function that’s activated with a touch of a button.
The mirror measures 23.6 x 31.5 x 1.2 inches and is only available in this size. So if you’re looking for a smaller or larger option, this may not be the right choice for you. Also, it’s worth noting that the anti-fog strip covers a large square in the central area of the mirror. While this shouldn’t be a problem for most people, it’s something to keep in mind.
Overall, this Bluetooth smart mirror is a stylish and functional addition to any bathroom. It’s got everything you need โ and maybe a little bit more.
Pros:
- Bluetooth connectivity allows for playing music through hidden speakers on the back of the mirror
- Backlit by 4000K LEDs for a cool, neutral light
- Anti-fog function to prevent fogging after steamy showers
- Large size (23.6 x 31.5 x 1.2 inches) provides ample space for makeup application, grooming, and skincare
Cons:
- Only available in one size, may not be suitable for all bathroom wall spaces
- Anti-fog function only covers the central area of the mirror, outer edges may still fog up (but then again that’s true for all of them).
Worthy of a Mention
Hansong Makeup Mirror with Lights and Bluetooth
For a fraction of the price of a full-sized smart mirror, the Hansong Make up mirror is a small, free-standing version of the smart mirror – and an absolute must-have for doing your hair and make-up.
Simply connect the mirror to your phone through Bluetooth and you can listen to your favorite music while you are getting ready. And if your phone rings – you can even take calls.
What we love about the mirror is the way it can so easily be swiveled 360 degrees – so you can choose whether to position it in the horizontal or vertical position.
The addition of the included 3.5-inch detachable magnifying mirror with a magnification of 10X is great for make-up details or zooming in on those pores. Simply stick it to the mirror’s surface with the suction cups when needed.
Press and hold the touch button for 2-3 seconds and you can adjust the brightness of the light.
And what we particularly like is the flip power switch on the back to prevent the mirror lights from accidentally being turned on during travel or when in storage.
Pros:
- Affordable option compared to full-sized smart mirrors
- Connects to phone through Bluetooth for music and phone calls
- 360-degree swivel allows for horizontal or vertical positioning
- Includes 3.5-inch detachable magnifying mirror with 10X magnification
- Adjustable brightness with touch button
- Flip power switch to prevent accidental activation during travel or storage
Cons:
- Only available in a small, free-standing size
- May not be as functional as full-sized smart mirrors
- Does not have an anti-fogging function
- Does not display temperature or time
- May not be as durable as full-sized smart mirrors
