See All PLX18 Circular Acrylic Indoor Convex Security Mirror, 18" Diameter (Pack of 1)

I have a car with a long front end and I cannot see the bumper when I park. I needed a mirror to mount in my garage so that I wouldn't hit the wall as I parked. I looked for mirrors online and, based upon the reviews for this one, placed my order. I knew that the mirror was 18" across, but I didn't really understand exactly how big that was until the mirror arrived. It's huge! The mirror arrived very well packed in a massive box. (It had to cost Amazon a fortune to ship. Thank goodness for Prime.) The mirror has a small mounting arm that worked perfectly for me, but I can see how others may have to fabricate something larger or custom for their installations. The mirror has a ball/socket adjustment system, so it can be easily angled after mounting.One note... Due to the nature of the convex mirrors, objects get small very quickly the further they are from the mirror. That's not a knock against this mirror, just the way it is with convex mirrors. For my application, it means that I can see the garage wall very well (which is why I wanted the mirror), but not the garage opening. The garage wall is about 8 feet away from the mirror. The garage opening is about 15 feet away. I don't think this mirror could be used in a convenience store to monitor aisles, for example. Objects and people close to the mirror could be seen clearly, but not objects and people at the end of the aisle.

It was my fault as I didn't notice this was labeled indoor, but I am using it outdoors. I put it up as I wanted to monitor my dogs in the side yard where I could not see them from the kitchen window. This works great for things in relatively close distances but a little less for further away like 30 ft. You can see movement from that distance but not details It does have some kind of cardboard backing which, if they just replaced that part, would turn it from indoor usage to outdoor. I put a coat of polyurethane over the cardboard to help make it last longer. If that doesn't work, I may try putting some other kind of backing on it to continue to use it. Thus far, it is holding up fine. I love being able to now see whether my dogs are getting into trouble or not. Great mirror, really.

Great little mirror. Well packaged so it didn't come in a thousand pieces like the first mirror I ordered. We use it in the Condo exercise room. The entrance door is 10-15 feet behind the workout equipment, so people on the machines would have to turn around to see who is coming in and not a good idea because you can fall if distracted while on the threadmills. The mirror allows all five users of equipment to see the door without turning around. We tried regular flat mirror but it would allow only one piece to see the back door. Seems pretty sturdy and the back is on a ball socket so you can adjust if need to but for us it covers the whole area and provides a clear view. Was worried about if 18 inches would be enough and be able to see the back, but it works out for us (pun intended).

perfect for my needs: to clearly see the sides of the car as it enters the garage indoors. my car has a very long nose and it was hard to see the front bumper clearance against the garage entrance. I mounted this next to the garage door opener motor. As others noted, since is a convex mirror, things get small at a relative short distance. in my case the mirror is about 12 ft from garage entrance and it works well. I can see how 2-3 ft farther away would make this not useful. Not a problem of the mirror just the way convex mirrors work

Our family room doesn't have windows on one wall due to a fireplace and unfortunately that wall borders our driveway. We hung this convex mirror on our back patio and it allows us to look out see when people have arrived at our house. I thought it would be unsightly but we ended up really loving it!

Mounted mine in my hook-in garage. Works great. Mirror does have a hard paper back. Not sure how it would holdup outside. If mounted outside I would probably spray some type of sealer on the back just to help it last longer. But, I bet it will last a long time anyway. Came with a small very simple wall mount.

Great mirror for the price. I installed this in my garage for making the job of parking my truck in the driveway easier. I needed the ability to see out to the passenger side of my truck so I can get parked right on the edge without driving onto the yard. This works great for what I need.

Would work great if you were putting it in a corner, which to be fair, is where it is designed to go however if you need it for other locations beware that it doesn't have a huge amount of variation in angle so you are limited and have to be adaptive to get the angle correct. Solid, decent construction and easy to mount.
