Default Mirror de-mister

Does anyone have one of these pads that fixes to the back of your mirror and
keeps it mist free in the bathroom?

How effective are they?

I'm interested too. How thick is it and how many watts?

I believe very, from friends.

There is a (makers?) web site some where with details, google? They
aren't that powerful, very vague memories of say 50W for something 18"
x 24.

600 nirror and works brilliantly,wired directly to the shaver socket,but you
can put a switch in as well if required.wattage is around 50 watts.the
mirror never mists up

I'm waiting for the automatic version to come out. It has metal strips
across the back of the mirror, connected to mains. When misting occurs,
conduction follows, and the mist is quickyl boiled off. When its dry,
no current is wasted

The basic idea is that an alternative way of measuring humidity is 'dew point'.
This is the temperature that an object has to be to have condensation form
on it.
It's always lower than (or at) room temperature,
So, if the bathroom is at 28C, and the mirror is heated so that it's at 35C,
there will be no condensation at all on it.
