This gadget along with my Eufy 11s robovac have got to be my top 2 favorite purchases/investments this year, if not this decade. I've been eyeing portable projectors on and off for a few years now because I don't own a TV and don't want to bc I find them clunky and easily outdated. So I tend to watch videos on my laptop instead. That's gotten hard on the eyes over the years and not so great for when I have guests over. I've only had this little powerhouse for less than a week but I'm already in love! I'm pretty indecisive, esp with large purchases, so I looked at a lot of options before opting for the Nebula b/c it's kind of expensive relative to some of the other pocket projectors out there. But over the years, it's the one that keeps popping up at the top of review articles/lists and had the full gamut of things that I was looking for. So I finally bit the bullet and I am SO, SO glad that I did!
The Pros:
- Truly Wireless: I've seen other options that didn't have bluetooth compatibility or issues w/airplay or screen mirroring. Not this guy. I've read other reviews have issues with some of the apps but maybe I'm just lucky or don't use as many as others b/c I've had no problem finding, downloading or playing from the apps I typically use. For background, those are: Amazon Prime Video, Rakuten Viki, Youtube, Hulu, Netflix, Disney+, and ESPN.
- Crisp video quality: I'll upload a pic once I remember to take one soon but it's defo been great video quality for me!
- Strong Battery Life: it lasts about as long as advertised, ~4hrs give or take and that is pretty darn good! When I'm binging and need battery to go longer I just plug in my portable battery pack and voila! Hours more play time.
- Great Audio: powerful speaker quality, didn't have to connect it to my bluetooth speaker even once (in fact, it doubles as a bluetooth speaker on its own!)
- Automatic Keystone Correction: the automatic correction isn't always perfect, esp if you try to project from an angle but it's still pretty cool that it has it as a built in function! And there's an option to override it and adjust manually as well.
- Good Heft: it's got a good weight to it. That's not to say it's heavy or inconvenient at all but it has a weight that feels sturdy and non-flimsy to me.
The Con:
- No zoom in/out function so it's not quite as simple as placing it anywhere you want and getting the size & straightness you want. Still, given it's small size and sturdy weight, it's still pretty convenient once you fiddle around and get the right balance/location for it.
- The cooling fan can be quite loud (almost as loud a traditional/old school projector) so when you're navigating around before playing a video you can definitely hear it and that kind of annoys me but it's not an issue at all once you start playing a video and the audio drowns it out.
- Tripod sold separately - not a huge deal (see note above re: zoom) and I know most projectors don't include one either but for the price it would've been nice to have included and would've made the initial set up a lot more seamless.
