Can the mirror run just on battery power? Where do the batteries go? Does any cord show if using the batteries for power?

Yes, can run on batteries alone. (I believe 'C' batteries) which are not included. They go in the base area which is mounted to the wall. There is a single hole; detachable cord included that can be used instead of batteries. This is how our's is mounted right now. Easy to detach! Wall mounted mirror comes off if using batteries. This item has a good weight to it, so mount it well. The bronze color is mild, not loud or gaudy. Love it!

I LOVE my cordless mirror. The battery is in the base and no cords are visible at all.

Yes, you can run the mirror on battery alone. The batteries fit in the circular base and you just turn the rest of the mirror on it once you put them in. It's pretty simple to install. You don't have to use the cord when using the batteries, but it will show if you use the cord. I love this mirror, but I found that the LED is not that bright and wish I had more light while putting on makeup.

Sorry about last answer. I was thinking about another mirror I had purchased. For this one, I just use batteries and remove them when not traveling.

I have never used it that way as I keep this one for travel, and the batteries last a very long time. I have a different 10x mirror at home (Bed Bath & Beyond has a large selection).

I plug it in. That's the nice part about it. I have been very happy with the mirror.

Yes, it takes batteries. The magnification is very good on this mirror, but the lighting is not. It doesn't do much to help.

I have powered and heated, the replacement doesn't have the heat element in it so I just left the heating cord that plugged into the broken mirror disconnected. Then you attach the replacement mirror on top of the mirror holder with strong double stick adhesive strips. The holder is what moves with power mirrors so that still functions properly.

It only has the wire hookups to attach to your electric controls. Definitely not for manual mirrors, sorry!

No, there isn't a power cord included; you have to purchase that separately- when you get the mirror there is a order form inside/you can get on the website and order it on line or do it through the mail. Not expensive, but a "must" if you use the mirror every day (FYI: the cost of batteries over time will be double what you paid for the cord and mirror). Good luck.

Yes ours is plugged into our bathroom vanity outlet. The cord dangles down from the mirror to the outlet.

It just has a wireless link between the transmitter and the mirror. The only conection to the mirror is the power lead.

The mirror does plug in, but as far as the cord length - I'm not sure.....my mirror is about 2 1/2' from the plug and I have extra (sorry it's at home and I'm not).

You insert the batteries in the back of the mirror. There should already be batteries in it though. Just turn it on.

Not sure. I am taking mine to Greece and Croatia. I will be taking a converter as well. Once the mirror is charged up, it will run for several hours on its own power, cordlessly. Make sure to leave for your trip with it fully charged and you may make it the whole trip without needling to recharge!

I did not have it long enough to know about batteries. The mirror was horrible. I need a magnifying mirror which this says it is... but I coujd not see in it at all, no one in my house could see in it... I would not recommend this mirror. It is too bad too because I wanted a compact mirror also and this one was compact. I returned it right away.

I only use it in my RV and the batteries were still going strong this past weekend. I've had this mirror for a little over a month now.

The answer is yes a power cord is available BUT it does not come with the mirror. You have to purchase separately. The mirror lights run on batteries.
