What Defines the Boost-M1 Series?

Boost-M1 is the most understated LED series in the ExBrite collection. The focus remains on the features most often used at the vanity: clear mirror lighting, flexible storage, soft-close movement, and a broad range of cabinet sizes.

Why Is the Boost-M1 Size Range So Important?

A medicine cabinet can have beautiful lighting and still look wrong when the width does not suit the vanity. Boost-M1 is available in widths ranging from 16 to 96 inches, covering a particularly broad range of bathroom layouts. 

The compact 20-inch option provides a tailored solution for small guest bathrooms, historic home layouts, or pedestal sinks where a wider mirror would look bulky. An expansive 72-inch variant can serve as a bold design statement for grand double vanities.

To ensure safe transport and straightforward home installation, wider models use an intelligent modular layout. They ship as multi-cabinet kits that join tightly together on the wall face or inside the framing cavity. This creates a single continuous glass surface that eliminates the awkward wall gaps caused by hanging two separate, smaller mirrors.

Note: The height options for Boost-M1 are 30 and 32 inches. While both are shorter than the 36-inch option available in RIM and Illusion, they also reduce the ceiling clearance needed above the vanity. This makes the cabinet useful in bathrooms with lower ceilings or windows positioned close to the vanity wall.

Full LED Features, Entry-Level Price

The construction underneath Boost-M1 matches every other series in the lineup, not a scaled-down version of it.

That LED lifespan is worth comparing against competing budget cabinets. Many either skip publishing a lifespan rating at all, or list 30,000 hours, roughly a third shorter. The savings on Boost-M1 come from the electrical outlet and display features left out, not from the frame, hinges, or light itself.

How Do You Choose the Right Width and Height?

Size a Boost-M1 cabinet using the same rule that applies across the collection: the cabinet should span 70 to 90 percent of the vanity's width.

Height comes down to wall clearance rather than vanity width. Thirty inches works in most standard bathrooms. Thirty-two inches raises the cabinet heights and accommodates taller vertical storage if the ceiling allows for it.

Installation: Recessed or Surface Mount

Every Boost-M1 ships with hardware for both methods, so the wall decides the installation process. Recessed mounting sets the cabinet into the wall cavity. This installation requires standard 2×4 stud walls with at least a 3.5-inch inner wall cavity. Keep in mind that exterior walls and load-bearing walls generally cannot be cut or grooved without structural modifications or interference with insulation. 

Surface mount skips the cutting and attaches with the included bracket, the simpler route when the wall itself rules out recessing.

Power runs through a standard plug-in cord to the nearest outlet, or an electrician can hardwire it for a cordless look. Free engineer-assisted video call support is available for wiring guidance during the process. See the recessed vs. surface mount comparison for a full side-by-side breakdown.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the largest medicine cabinet Allsumhome sells?

Boost-M1 is the largest single-series option, shipped as a combination unit in two packages that join at the wall. It suits double vanities or wide single-sink layouts where a narrower cabinet would look undersized.

2. What is the smallest medicine cabinet available?

Boost-M1 also covers the smallest end at 20 inches, sized for pedestal sinks and secondary bathrooms. It carries the same CRI 90+ LED, defogger, power outlet, and USB port as every other width in the series.

3. Is Boost-M1 lower quality than other Allsumhome series?

No. It shares the same aluminum frame, CRI 90+ LED, defogger, soft-close hinges, and 50,000-hour LED lifespan as the rest of the lineup. While Boost-M1 comes with outlets and USB ports, the lower pricing comes from mainstream design, high sales volume & cost control. The price friendliness is also a result of the series excluding sizes above 32"H.

4. Does Boost-M1 have a built-in outlet for a hair dryer?

Yes, it has a full outlet that is rated up to 1800W. It also includes a USB port suited to a toothbrush or razor, not a hair dryer or curling iron. 

5. What heights does Boost-M1 come in?

Boost-M1 comes in 30-inch and 32-inch heights, both shorter than the 36-inch option in RIM and Illusion. The shorter height reduces shelf count slightly, and it also lowers the ceiling clearance needed above the vanity.

6. Can a Boost-M1 cabinet be surface mounted instead of recessed?

Yes. Every width ships with hardware for both methods in the same box. Surface mount takes 30 to 45 minutes with no cutting, while recessed takes 60 to 90 minutes for a flush, built-in look. Neither method requires separate hardware.
