      Acrylic mirrors, sure. Glass mirrors, while you can still scratch them, they do last a lot longer than acrylic ones. ANY mirror is prone to scratches, it’s how you treat it that depends how long it lasts.

      A Life? Cool! Where can I download one of those from?

        The reflective coating on the glass is a bit more prone to scratching as it can’t have a protective coating. But to be honoust: My 2 year old MagicMirror doesn’t have any scratches.

          Like I mentioned, how you treat your mirror will depend on how long it lasts. Using abrasive cleaners is bad, but a clean, damp, micro fiber cloth goes a long way.

            It’s just the way they said it: (dutch alert) “6mm confrontatiespiegel, let op: ZEER KRASGEVOELIG” that startled me… It seemed that the simple act of cleaning it might scratch it…

            Averything’s done… just the mirror… :D

            Thanks, i’ll take the plunge :)

              It’s as if the glass shops don’t want to sell it. They gave me so many useless warnings when I bought mine … 😩

                It’s a warning, sure. And perhaps their product is indeed easily scratched. Ask around, go a different place or vendor, see what kind of response you get.
