Pretty good
I bought this for conducting business presentations/training while I travel, and I have no complaints. It's not necessarily small and portable (it's what I imagine to be standard size), but it's pretty much plug and play and the picture quality is really great. Easy set up, works well, very bright. I will recommend to a friend

Bright & crisp picture for the price & size, but not truly wireless & unreachable customer support
I bought this projector after researching lots of similarly priced options in the small-to-nano size range. The relatively high lumen count for the price & size, wireless capability, and good reviews made me pull the trigger on this one.Setup was simple and fairly intuitive. It connected quickly to the wireless network; however, it only sees the 2G connection, not the 5g connection. The projector and source device (iPhone XR and later a Samsung chromebook in my case) have to be connected to the same wireless network in order for them to find eachother. The remote came with batteries and works well, or the projector buttons can be used without the remote unlike some competitors.Once both devices were connected to the same 2g WiFi, the screen prompted us to select “Mirroring” in the iPhone control panel and “iOS Device” in the projector main menu. The wall instantly came to life displaying the screen of the iPhone. With a few adjustments to the skew & focus dials, the picture came in very crisp for such a cheap projector – especially considering the midday room was not at all dark. In a darkened room, it’s as clear and bright as a TV!We tried out some mobile games, social networks, and YouTube without issue. The sound was pretty clear and gets plenty loud for indoors, although it’s not in stereo. This is where things went downhill.While flipping through some YouTube videos, the projector would spontaneously disconnect from the phone, while others worked well. We tried Netflix, Amazon Video, and Disney+... and while all of those streaming services would launch, as soon as we hit play on a video, the projector would disconnect. No error message was displayed. We then tried it with a Samsung chromebook with the same results.The box says 24/7 customer support, so we tried calling the company. The phone line wouldn’t connect... turns out it’s a number in China. We then called Amazon to begin the return process. Amazon tech support also attempted to troubleshoot and failed, so they processed a return label.I ended up researching more before taking the projector to UPS. It turns out there’s an annoying digital encryption feature on copyrighted/subscription content called High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) that prevents many projectors & other external monitors, especially those with older tech, from passing video from the device to the projector. The HDCP passthrough process is called a “handshake” and, in the case of this projector, the handshake feature is missing. Some higher-end brands like the Anker avoid needing the handshake by letting you log directly into your subscription accounts on the projector menu. For this projector, the statements on the listing that say, “only the lightning cable is needed” and “wireless with any device” are only partially true. If you want to stream videos or even play downloaded videos (**even ones you own on iTunes or Amazon Video**), for Apple devices you’ll need an Apple AV Adapter cable or for non-Apple devices you’ll need an HDMI Splitter. These add-on cables successfully kill the handshake check the HDCP feature performs when you hit play and allow the videos to transfer to the projector.I went back and re-read this projector’s Amazon listing (and competitors’ listings) and, with the trained eyes of a consumer that has now spent several hours troubleshooting and researching, found this statement buried deep the features section of almost all of them: “Due to HDPC Copyright protection, it can't support some paid apps like Netflix, Amazon Fire Stick or Roku via wifi connection.”Bingo! And bummer.I decided to try an Apple AV Adapter, painfully aware that doing so added an unexpected fifty+ dollars to the projector’s cost and effectively nullified the wireless feature. But... it worked. The other option was to continue with the return and bite the bullet on a much more expensive projector.All in all, I’m happy with the picture clarity, brightness, and size, but disappointed that it’s not “truly” wireless causing additional cost and messy cables. I’m also concerned that exercising the advertised “24/7 Customer Support” was a big Fail without an international calling plan, because it would’ve saved a lot of time if I could’ve actually reached someone in the know about HDCP up front. Hopefully some of you will read this review before purchasing so your expectations are at an appropriate level and you can avoid similar disappointments. Here’s hoping customer support isn’t needed again down the road.

Poor Product
Considering this as wifi box is a joke, it's not. Brightness is poor. Android connection fails, may be do the the particular phone. Does work off of USB. Instruction book is very poor. No support is available.It certainly is cheap, as so many other Amazon reviews state "you get what you pay for". Be careful with this unit, it's worth spending another hundred or so.

Piece of crap.
Horrible. Complete waste of money. Has never worked from the day it was opened. Waited til summer to finally try it again...still doesn’t work. Can’t use airplay at all. We’ve tried three iPhones. Tried plugging it in. Shows it is connected and should work. HT nothing happens. Ugghhhhhhhhhh

Don't buy this if you plan on screen sharing
The picture quality is great but unfortunatly when screen sharing off my phone the picture/sound glitches and causes a delay every few seconds. After 3 months the projector started continually disconnecting from screen sharing which is incredibly annoying. Not to happy with my purchase due to the fact I bought this specifically for screen share.

Mid quality at best
Bought this for video and games. Got it on our WiFi easily, not still haven't managed to connect it to any device unless wired. The directions are rotten!It's easy enough to operate with a hardwire connection. Picture quality is very low. It needs to be a lot brighter!

Great Value
Quiet, lite weight, speaker is okay what to try and hook it up to my home theater system, great for watching movies after dark, also bigger screen makes it better when playing video games.

Pleasantly Surprised
very pleased with this projector! Bought for my daughter and she loves it! Connects wirelessly through bluetooth to her phone and projects on her bare wall.
