    I love this thing. It’s super small, which makes it easy for travel. I use it to project my handlettering onto a wall for large murals, but it also works to watch videos and movies on. I use a HDMI cord to connect it to my iPad. The sound quality isn’t ideal, but I think that could be easily resolved with some additional speakers.

    Great built quality and general good picture quality, with an adequate brightness. The fan is a bit too loud, I would think they could have used a better fan with a temperature control sensor. The Wi-Fi signal could be better....

    Easily connects to HDMI device, portable, and compact. Great projection! However, the wireless capability is misleading because it's doesn't wirelessly connect to computer or device for presenting, or at least I've not been able to make that feature properly work.

    I bought this to do family movie night in the backyard. Thing works great! I use the built apps to stream Netflix, and I have it now streaming the World Series in the backyard during a party! The speaker is pretty quiet, but the 3.5mm headphone jack works great to output the sound to another device.

    I’ve reviewed, purchased and returned several projectors over the past couple years. Then I decided to pay a little more a get this one due to the higher light intensity output (400 lumens) compared to other projectors of similar size. Then when I opened up the package and began to setup and use this projector, it turned out to have many more features that I even expected. The remote control provides a good interface with the internal menu and apps that can be installed. Then with a WiFi connection, this projector can be used for presentations or media without the need of a computer! Lastly, it reports a 2 watt speaker, which I didn’t think much of. However, for a small group in a close space, it is more than sufficient. Even if it isn’t, the Bluetooth connection allows you to connect a Bluetooth speaker to give you the volume and flexibility you need. After a month of use, this is hands down one of the best little projectors that I’ve ever had. Of course it doesn’t have the same power as a full size projector, but when you’d like something that will fit in your briefcase, purse or backpack, this one is worth the weight!

    Simple and intuitive to use. Easy WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity. Image quality is good and room does not have to be perfectly dark. Fan sound is definitely audible but not obtrusive. Remote functionality is only fair.

    For the size and price, this projector is excellent. The picture quality is good and display size sufficient for most purposes. We do have to refocus it frequently (every 10 min) or so. Consider that if you are using it for long stretches. And the USB/internal storage hasn't work as well as I expected. There seem to be a very limited number of file types that can be read. But if you want to use it in a traditional, connected projector setup with a laptop or tablet it works well. Note- it doesn't come with a stand so you will have to get one separately.

    This projector has a great picture for being so small. The family and I have movie night on the patio. It has an hour and a half battery life which limits movies selection sometimes. We take it with us when we travel and connect to WiFi at hotels.

    I purchased this projector for PowerPoint presentations and practicing with my teams. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality. It only has 400 lumens, but it was very clear. It’s a great size for traveling. The battery life is about 2 hours, so if you have a short client meeting you don’t have to worry about a bunch of plugs. I’ll be trying it out this weekend to project using the iPad. It comes with a short hdmi cable. If you want to connect wirelessly you can, but give yourself time to download required apps, etc and do the initial setup.

    This is a great projector, the picture is nice and bright and rated at 400 lumens. The User Interface is very simple and works well with the remote, which has very good range. It has a great form factor and very small footprint and the battery lasts a good 80 minutes. The projector had a major issue though in that the charging cable was shaky at best out of the box and after a couple weeks just stopped working. I researched this and found my occurrence was not an isolated one so I returned it.
