Total Garbage - False Advertising
I've never been so unhappy with an Amazon purchase before. This item is marketed for kids and let me tell you it's "NOT KID FRIENDLY".- The buttons on the projector are stiff and hard to press for an adult and even more for kids.- The UI is confusing and not intuitive for me, even more so for my kids.- The manual doesn't have all of the features due to updates and what they call ongoing improvements. When I emailed support they were like "Oh, it's in the manual" as if I didn't read the manual before contacting them.- Day 1: My kids dropped the projector from a low "distance" and the face of the projector popped off. I managed to snap it back on but it didn't make me feel good about the quality. If kids are going to use this it can't be so fragile.- They advertise it as wireless and all of the photos are wireless but it won't work for me unless if plugged into an outlet. We wanted the wireless aspect so kids won't be tripping over wires.- In the Amazon Q & A section I asked if it needs to be plugged into an outlet to run or if it can run off of the power of your phone. A seller replied that it can run off of the power of your phone, but this is not true for me.- I went out and spent an additional $65 on an HDMI to lighting cable adapter to be able to pair with iPhone. I'm not upset over this as it was mentioned in the fine print but letting you know to be prepared to have a proper adaptor for it to work.- You can only control volume from the remote. There are no volume controls on the projector. If you lose the remote this device is useless.- The sound is terrible and is very flat and tinny.- The projector gets hot.- The one positive thing I will say to be completely honest is that we were happy with the picture quality.- Customer support was friendly when I emailed them and offered a full refund but what they failed to tell me that I'm responsible for the shipping costs to send it back. For this reason I feel stuck with the projector and won't be sending it back.- Overall it is cheap quality

Surprisingly bright but no keystone.
Was looking for a projector to project onto the ceiling to watch TV while laying in bed. Not FROM or mounted to the ceiling, onto . . . Because even partially sitting up is WAY too much work. (Someone's brain just exploded, you're welcome, it is an amazing idea.)Projector works for this. . . But it also doesn't. It's plenty bright, unless your room is well lit. However, there's no keystone adjustment. Several people mention keystone in questions or reviews but seem not to understand that keystone is not focus, it's a setting to square the image when it's not projected perpendicular to a surface. So basically the projector needs to be facing straight at its "screen" surface. . . In my case that would locate it right in the middle of the bed. As much as I love electronics, I'd rather have my wife cuddling with me to keep me warm than this cute little projector. Cute wife beats cute projector in bed is all I'm saying.I saw a review or two noting the speaker quality. . . You ought to be astounded that it HAS speakers that are audible at this price point, for reference assume you put an okay phone on speaker mode and you're in the ballpark. It's made to show moving pictures, not humble a concert auditorium stereo.Also, in the 4-5 feet between the headboard and ceiling, the image ends up 32-40" (that's my estimate, I'm not standing on my bed with a measuring tape to give you an exact number and if that bothers you, cope) and since my eyesight is so bad that bat optometrists literally use me as a negative reference point, that's a bit small in my circumstance. So I need to cut a hole in the mattress, put the projector on the floor, and that should make it roughly the size I hoped for. . . I'll blame the hole on the cat.All griping aside, this projector is pretty small, reasonably bright, and (let's be honest) pretty affordable compared to most projectors or TVs. I will likely keep the projector and, instead, use it's limitations as an excuse to purchase a camera tripod that costs significantly more to hold it where I want. . . Because it's a convenient excuse to get a tripod and there's a slight possibility the excuse might fly, maybe. Fantastic for a budget projector though.

Update:Fun projector with heat issues, but customer service is awesome.
Update: 10/20/2021The vendor reached out to us and offered us a refund in an effort to make things right. We accepted their generous refund offer ($80.00). Our review of the projector itself is the same but would recomend this company for their products as they stand behind them and do right by their customers. When ordering other related products we know we can shop with confidence with them.Original review:We got this projector on sale (55.00) for my daughter.Pros:Easy to use and set upLooks great in a dark room.Has a small speaker.Greay deal at 55.00 bucks.Cons:The power adapter runs SUPER HOT. We only used it once but when I went to unplug it from the wall it burned my hand. I had to drop it and let it cool before I put it away.Fan runs a little loud.I cant expect a lot for 55.00. Would I pay more for it? Only if they fix the power adapter issue.Overall its a fun little projector. My daughter loves it and thats what counts.

Good first impression
I've only used this a little with my Roku stick (browsing Youtube), but it was very easy to set up. I have to do a little research about the sound, as I'd really like to use it for fitness videos via another app on my Roku. The manual isn't robust....more like a quickstart guide. I think it would be good for travel (maybe taking on vacation with a Roku stick, Fire stick, compatible phone, or otherwise). Once I have read up a little better on it, I plan to test it with our Steam Link device so we can play Steam games in a room away from our PC.
