This just came out and is worth every penny! Is portable and has a built in battery that last for almost 2 hours! I’ve been playing with this since I got it, to play movies in the backyard and indoor on a wall is awesome, of course that if you use a real screen projector the screen will come out better, but everyone in my family and friends couldn’t believe how good it was, it has built in speaker not that loud but nothing that a portable speaker can fix (using auxiliary cable) it said a it goes to 80” but I’ve cover most of my wall and it’s awesome, if playing bright movies is better but for dark/low beam movies is not as great BUT duable. The smaller the picture the better quality, but again, for the price you cannot go wrong... Give it a try, I’m for sure not returning this, using it for beach nights aswell :) I also added a 2yr plan so Incase something does go wrong they will fix or replace, I forgot what they said... either way, my money on this thing is safe for the time.. as an example I played a movie in my son closet wall and well you can be the judge. :)

Love it. Only thing that is sort of annoying is it seems pretty loud. But you don’t notice it after a while. Unless you think about it. Lol. Like while writing this review.
Nice when you have a sick little one in your bed and don’t have a tv in your room.
Highly recommend getting a chromecast and just casting from your phone or other device.

I love this little guy. I’m working in a garage temporarily and didn’t want to invest in a tv. I bought this projector along with an hdmi cable (not included but useful). I connected the hdmi cable to an Apple lightening cable converter to connect my iPad to the projector. The projector screwed in perfectly to a standard camera tripod I have with a universal screw. I couldn’t be happier. It’s so small. about the size of my wallet. As long as I have the cord and projector, I can big screen my phone or tablet anywhere! Bluetooth attachment to ad sound is a nice option, I haven’t tried it yet. It’s convenient that the sound comes from the projector with an aux outlet for endless volume output options. I couldn’t be happier.

I am used to projectors in the 2500-3200 lumen range as we have an in home theater. For a fixed room setup, they are ideal however, none of that setup is portable. When I saw this I thought, how cute... wait, 50 lumens... never mind. Fortunately, I got to see this in person and that is why I purchased it. In a room with controlled lighting, you can get a reasonably clear image on a plain wall.... i am talking about the entire wall! Some people may want a brighter picture but, compromise is required when you want total portability, a decent picture and surprisingly cleat sound. No, this will not be used for a group event but, it works really well when a few people are traveling and they wish to share a video together. FYI, the internal battery can go up to around 2 hours if the volume is low or, you use an external speaker (via cable).

I bought this for my business partner who lives in Costa Rica. They can't get stuff down there cheaply and they don't have cable tv that is reliable outside of the large cities. He bought him a Fire Stick and I bought this projector. He uses this to project the TV on the side of the wall for his community to watch sporting events and movies on. Just plugs the Fire into the machine and away they go. Down there not everyone can afford to purchase these things. The picture quality is amazingly sharp and defined and you don't have to have complete darkness to see it indoors. All sizes of the projector are pretty solid he says. The same spec projector he was looking at online to order from a major brand was 2.5 to 3 times more expensive. I told him to give this a whirl as I have had good luck with Insignia products. He loves it.

This projector is small making it very convenient if need to transport from one location to another. I only gave it four stars cause I wanted to use it to show movies for an event at my home. Unfortunately, the battery life is only 100 min. Most movies are at least 2 hours. But the battery is rechargeable.

This a must-have accessory while traveling. I like the picture a receive from it. I would like to highlight that due to this projector only has 50 lumens you need to be in a really dark room to get a better picture. Easy to connect to my Chromecast and Nintendo switch.

Given the limitations of only 50 lumens, this unit does a very good job. For a small and dark space, it may be all you need, for a lot less money than its brighter competitors.

This is a great machine: extremely light and easy to use. But its greatness is only relevant if all you want to do is to do things such as project pictures to share with friends and family in your own living room. But if you plan to use it as a portable projector for business purpose, it would not work. The problem is simple: it is NOT bright enough in any kind of business conference room

I had bought the projector without much research and did not expect top quality resolution from a small projector. If you're looking for a home theater and wanting to replace a tv, I recommend looking for a larger, brighter projector.

The projector does exactly what I needed it to do, it’s portable, has good battery life and throws a good picture.
This is not a home theater type picture, it is more for business meetings and allows several sitting around a table to see your presentation.

The quality of the picture really surprised me for being such a small projector. The only thing is that I can’t find much accesories for it like a tripod o a tall base. But it’s great to use on walls. It was an open box item but like new.

I am a geek and was looking for small projector at decent price to be able to do home movies on the go, as I travel a good bit. Was disappointed it won't connect to my LG phone, despite all the requisite cables. Okay with my Iphone 8.
Went with this because of sale price and general reviews. Would not buy again... would opt for spending more money.
