The perfect fog-free shower mirror?

For years, I have been searching for the perfect fog-free mirror. They all turned out to be the same general design. A plastic mirror with some kind of treatment that is supposed to repell steam. In fact, I think they are all made by the same company and distributed under different names by different resellers. They work for about 6 months and then they're useless. And they cost a fortune -- $40. Click here for an example. It does have a clock and silly LED light.

But that all ended when I went to the Container Store in Denver. They have a mirror that is based on simple physics. It has a funnel at the top that you use to fill the space behind the mirror with hot water. The water heats the mirror and there is no condensation. Brilliant! And it only cost $10. Brilliant!
