Best smart LED mirrors: for the bathroom, living room, kitchen and your dresser

Jul 13, 2023

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the smartest of them all?

dvances in home tech are moving at breakneck speed, from fridges that can announce when you’re out of milk and doorbells that vet visitors for you, to home lighting systems that create the perfect ambience for work, play and everything in-between.

Now, with the invention of smart mirrors, we can no longer be in doubt. The future is here.

Feeling akin to the fairytale classic, these mirrors are souped-up versions of the Snow White fable. Think rolling news, streaming on demand, and weather and transport updates. You can even sync them with your calendar to see your day's events while you’re brushing your teeth.

And, if you’re thinking they’re home essentials for billionaires only, think again. There are plenty of models in affordable price ranges, allowing you to access a wealth of info at your fingertips. Others are invaluable home safety tools, fitted with an SOS feature that allows you to summon help by voice commands: handy if you slip or fall in the bath. They all come fitted with LEDs so you can see every inch in perfect lighting.

According to research by HomeEdit.com, searches for ‘smart mirrors’ have surged a whopping 84 per cent, and are among the most appealing home technologies for mortgage-payers in 2021.

Others include Japanese-style and self-cleaning loos (ah, the dream of never touching a toilet brush again!), smart showers and sanitising bathroom accessories like automatic soap dispensers.
