Smart mirrors for your bathroom are here

I remember the first time I saw a bathroom mirror with a built-in TV. I was at a ski lodge in Vail and called Barry to come see it. Amazing, but the embedded TV was tiny and the sound muffled. Today’s smart mirrors are so much better. I’ll tell you the one I got below.
🗣️ Glass with sass
Smart mirrors are what your old bathroom mirror wishes it could be. While you’re brushing your teeth, they show your calendar, weather, traffic, they’ll even play your favorite podcast or the morning news. Some models stream Netflix. Yes, in your mirror.
The lighting adjusts, so you’re not guessing at your makeup, and the surface won’t fog up after a hot shower. Some even track your skin and fitness. And the best part? It doubles as a smart home hub. Lights, thermostat, security, all voice-controlled. You don’t even have to pick up your phone.
💡 Seeing is believing
Prices range from around $500 to $1,000+, depending on size and features.
