The product is small and convenient, but it would not work on my Samsung Galaxy Note 5 which was the main reason that I bought the projector. It did work well on my pc laptop and my wife's mac laptop.

I read the reviews before purchasing and extremely happy with product. The picture quality is great in slightly lighted settings and the range of connections is extensive. I love the tripod mount that comes with it and the little box serves as a carrying case. The sound quality isn't great but after attaching a bluetooth speaker it was no big deal.

The first unit I purchased did not work properly. Not many Best Buy stores stock this unit. I was out of town in Milwaukee at a meeting and needed it that day. I took it back and luckily the store had one out of the box unit that I purchased and it worked great. It's very compact and powerful.

Even though they say the projection is not HD, it looks like it on the right back ground. We use this for our outdoor TV on the back deck. Only bad thing is the volume on the unit itself. You will need to run a bluetooth speaker if you want to hear the sound..

This is not a high quality projector you would use to teach a class in a large lecture hall, but a small, easy to use and carry mini projector that works well in small spaces. We use it at work to give presentations to our staff. Works well for what we need!

this is a good band aid for small screen that need to be shared with 2-3 others. It needs almost a totally dark room. However id is battery operated and if you have a notebook ant this you can do field presentations in the middle of a field.

However....after using for 10 total minutes the projector changed to red triangle warning sign and never worked again. Nothing had happened. It had played for very short time....it was much brighter than expected and very portable so was ready to live it....alas...i had to return it. The sales person said was faulty. Being short on time i didnt want to take chance so went with different projector rather than try this type again. Ah well.

Great for watching movies

This handy little thing is great for watching movies when traveling, or even as a tv in rooms without one. The only drawback is that it requires a dark room but that is not a huge negative given it's size. It is good for PowerPoint presentations for a small group but loses resolution quickly as you increase the screen size beyond what it is designed for.
For movies where you don't need a lot of detail (i.e. you are not reading credits) it is watchable well beyond what the manufacturer claims. I was able to watch a marvel movie in a dark room with a 300" picture.

If it were a little brighter, I'd go 5 star.
My only other complaint is about the connector placement in relation yo the buttons. An hdmi l-bend converter covers the button on that side.

Projector takes a little to get used to but works as advertised. Notes:
1. Item not fully charged upon purchase, so should charge ASAP to have it ready for use.
2. For its size, puts out a decent light but room will need to be reasonably darkened for good viewing. +
3. Item has the need accessories but the included HDMI cable is only 1 meter long. All is not lost as you can use the HDMI adaptor to connect a longer HDMI cable.
4. Projector responds instantly when connected to a computer (+++)but does not respond when connected to s smartphone (-). This last flaw cost one star in the rating but I bought the projector to use with a computer, not a phone.

I love the small size, but regardless of what I do, the picture is always blurry. It works for most of what I do, but I tried to teach a class with it and ended up shutting it down because of the blurriness. I guess you get what you pay for. Next time, I'll spend a little more and get a better one, that might not be as cute, but clearer.

The quality of picture was just average. Since it is so small in size and lightweight, I had to find something to weigh it down so it would not move during my presentation. This was something I knew I would not use frequently so even though I was disappointed, I know I got what I paid for.
