Customer Ratings & Reviews

After using the new Epson EpiqVision Mini EF22 for a week I have some thoughts about what makes this projector special and what its lacking. There’s mostly only good things with this product and I have enjoyed it thoroughly. Build Quality: This is an area where this projector really shines. Being marketed as a portable projector its important for it to be rugged and capable of handling some abuse. I took the projector on a mini vacation with some friends and set it up down by the pool to project a football game onto a wall. Something like this is where this projector really shows what its strengths are. I basically threw the projector into a backpack and brought it down to the pool area and within 10 minutes I had a 150 inch screen for everyone to enjoy watching the game. It was such a cool thing to be able to do and only made the night better. The construction of the projector is tight and well made. The plastic components feel strong and well connected. The front plate where the lends is feels like it will protect the lens well. The stand provides excellent usability and form to stand the projector up without worrying about it falling over. Main Use of Projector: When I read the lumens to just about anything I just basically ignore it. The measuring of lumens is very confusing. I usually just test the product myself or wait for a trusted person to review the product. I am happy to say this projector gets plenty bright for what the average person would require. Now, don’t expect to throw a watch party outdoors in broad daylight. You will be sorely dissatisfied as you would with almost ANY projector. I tried to use it in my living room during the day with the blinds shut and it was fine. I would say that’s about the limits of this projector as far as brightness is concerned. The actual quality of the picture is great. The colors are very bright, vivid and the picture is sharp. For a little higher price, I wish Epson just made it a 4K projector. The price is pretty steep for a 1080p projector but the added benefits of the color accuracy and build quality still make it a reasonably priced product. Even when stretched out to 150 inches the picture is great, especially when viewing from a distance. This projector also has auto focus which is such a great feature. On my other projector I always have to do manual focus, and it can be a pain. The auto keystone is also a nice feature. The Google TV OS is fine. It’s the same as my OLED TV but it’s a little on the slow side. It suffers from the same Wi-Fi cutting out when powering on as my TV which is annoying. If that’s something that really bothers, you then you can attach your preferred OS via the HDMI port in the back. The sound quality is surprisingly decent if you don’t have something to connect to it. Personally, sound is super important to me, so I used a Bluetooth speaker, and it worked flawlessly. However, in a pinch I would have no problem using the onboard speakers for like gaming or YouTube videos. Something else that has been a pleasant surprise is the lack of fan noise. Projectors get super hot so they need fans to cool them down. The cooling system on this projector is great and hardly makes a noise. This is a super plus for me! Conclusion: All in all this projector provides a great platform as a portable projector with decent sound quality. I was super happy with its use over the last week. Between watching movies, youtube videos, doing a little gaming, and bringing it outdoors for football games, its been a real hit in my home. If you want an easy to use portable projector that’s well built, I think you will be really happy with this projector!

I've owned several Epson projectors and my main use was for business presentations and training but now I need to re-evaluate how I use one with the newest mini from Epson. Pros: The laser projector pushes out a high quality picture up to huge 150” size. The picture delivery technology designed into the projector that assists in focus, resizing and keystone correction making it quick for quick out of the bag setup. Sound from the projector is in a class by itself. With Dolby Atmos the output to the internal speakers is more than adequate for almost any room but if you need to push more there is an 3.5 mm audio jack for headphones or external speakers. Incredibly it also comes with Google TV that provides access to thousands streaming apps like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, etc. After setup of Google TV you can choose to load and initialize your favorite streaming app. If that doesn’t fit your needs then a HDMI port on the back allows for input from a laptop, Chromecast, Ruku or gaming console. Smaller than most with tilt and swivel base. Tripod threaded screw hole in bottom of the base adding flexibility of setup. At Halloween I rear project some cool front door animation in vertical mode so the tripod mount makes it much easier. I can officially retire my bungy cord setup that I had for my previous projector. Available in 5 colors What could have been better: Wifi setup was a bit of a struggle for me. Maybe it was an issue with my router but I had to attempt several times before it would connect. Wifi is required to complete setup, at least what I remember. An opt out of Wifi would have been nice, especially if you plan on using it as a traditional projector with HDMI input. It may be there but I struggled for about 30 minutes to get from box the screen. Cons: Swivel base is not detachable makes finding a suitable aftermarket case for transport and/or storage. Initially nothing from Epson but see recently added travel case for just under $50. I ended up with a medium sized soft-sided cooler bag for mine. I prefer hardcases but nothing I could find would allow the projector to fit. All in all this is amazing! I can't wait to push this projector to the limit!
