Bluetooth Mirrors & Cabinets

A Bluetooth bathroom mirror cabinet does three jobs at once: it stores your bits behind the door, it lights your face with built-in LEDs, and it plays music straight off your phone while you get ready. The ones worth buying also throw in a demister so the glass stays clear after a shower, an infrared sensor so you switch the light on without smearing the mirror, and a built-in shaver socket. The three Bluetooth cabinets covered below tick every one of those boxes, in single and double door versions from 500mm to 600mm wide. Read on for the buying guide and quick answers, or scroll straight to the products. If you can live without the speaker, our illuminated bathroom mirrors and wider range of mirror cabinets are worth a look.

What to look for in a Bluetooth mirror cabinet

Put the speaker in a mirror cabinet and you get the music, the light and the demister, plus somewhere to hide the toothpaste and razors behind the door. Here is what actually matters when you pick one.

Single door or double door. This comes down to the width of your wall and the basin underneath it. A single door suits a cloakroom or a smaller wall, and the Jemima Single Door LED Mirror Cabinet at £389 packs the lot into one door: Bluetooth speakers you stream to from your phone, an infrared on/off sensor, a demister pad and a built-in shaver socket, in a body 500mm wide, 700mm high and 135mm deep. It also has mirrors built inside the cabinet, which is genuinely useful for checking the back of your hair. A double door gives you a wider mirror, which works better over a bigger basin or in a family bathroom. The Prosper LED Double-Door Mirror Cabinet at £399 measures 600 x 700 mm, pairs LED lighting on an IR sensor with Bluetooth audio, a demister and a shaver socket, comes with a lifetime guarantee, and costs only a tenner more than the Jemima.

If you want to spend less, the Prosper LED Mirror Cabinet 500 x 700 mm at £319 is the lowest-priced of the three. It still gets LED lighting on an IR sensor, built-in Bluetooth, an anti-fog demister pad and a hidden shaver socket, with adjustable shelves inside so taller bottles fit.

The features that actually earn their keep. The LED light is the bit you use every day, and all three cabinets here switch theirs on with an infrared sensor, so you wave a hand instead of pressing the glass and stop leaving fingerprints across the mirror every morning. The demister earns its place just as reliably. It keeps the mirror clear when the room steams up, and if you shower in the same room as the mirror it is the feature you will thank yourself for. All three have one, and all three have a shaver socket as well, so check it suits the razor or electric toothbrush charger you already own. The Bluetooth pairs with your phone like any other wireless speaker, and it is there for music and podcasts while you get ready, so judge it as a handy bathroom speaker rather than a sound system.

Fitting is an electrician’s job, not a Saturday job. A light, a demister pad and a shaver socket all need a mains supply, and bathroom electrics are zoned under the UK wiring regulations, so connecting one of these cabinets is a job for a qualified electrician rather than a screw-it-to-the-wall-yourself one. If you are mid-renovation, plan the cable route before the tiles go on. Hanging the cabinet is the easy part. It is the electrical connection that needs signing off properly.

One honest note on the speaker before you spend the money: it is a nice extra, not a reason on its own. Buy one of these for the storage, the LED light and the demister, and treat the Bluetooth as the bonus on top. That is where the real day-to-day value sits.

Quick answers

What is a Bluetooth mirror cabinet? It is a wall-mounted bathroom cabinet with a mirrored door, built-in LED lighting and a Bluetooth speaker, so you can stream music or a podcast from your phone while you get ready. The better ones, including all three here, also add a demister to keep the glass clear, an infrared sensor so you can switch the light on without touching the mirror, and a shaver socket.

Do Bluetooth mirror cabinets need an electrician to fit? For the electrical side, yes. The LED light, the demister pad and the shaver socket all need a mains supply, and bathroom electrics are zoned under the UK wiring regulations, so the connection is a job for a qualified electrician rather than a DIY one. Hanging the cabinet on the wall is the straightforward bit.

Do the speakers sound any good? They are fine for what they are, which is a handy bathroom speaker for music and podcasts, paired straight off your phone. They are not built to replace a proper hi-fi, so set your expectations there. The honest take: buy one of these for the cabinet, the LED lighting and the demister, and treat the speaker as a useful extra rather than the main event.

What is the difference between a single and a double door Bluetooth cabinet? Mostly width. A single door like the Jemima at £389 is 500mm wide and suits a smaller wall or a cloakroom. A double door like the Prosper 600 x 700 mm at £399 gives you a wider mirror, which works better over a bigger basin, for only a tenner more. Both carry the same core features: LED lighting on an infrared sensor, a Bluetooth speaker, a demister and a shaver socket.

Is there a bathroom mirror cabinet with lights, Bluetooth and a demister? Yes, and here that combination is standard rather than an upgrade. All three cabinets pair LED lighting with Bluetooth and a demister, then add a shaver socket and an infrared sensor on top. The Prosper 500 x 700 mm at £319 is the lowest-priced of the three.

What if you would rather have a flat mirror than a cabinet? The three Bluetooth models covered here are all cabinets, so the speaker comes with storage behind the door. If a flat mirror suits your wall better, our range of illuminated mirrors is the place to look for built-in lighting without the cabinet.
