Mini Projector YG300 Pro, Vamvo Portable Projector 1080p Full HD Supported, Movie Projector Compatible with Smartphone/ Tablet/ Laptop/ PS3/ PS4/ TV Stick for Home Theatre
Very satisfied with this purchase. Didn’t expect it to be delivered same-day on a Sunday but it was! The set up took about 1min, very user friendly buttons design and UI. Decent picture quality, bright enough to work with a bed side lamp on and work perfectly for projecting on the ceiling. Several resolution options available for diff purposes. Tried with my laptop, will try it with my tablet and phone as well. Would highly recommend!
I’d had my eye on this projector for a while and I ordered it on a lightning deal. Everything was delivered on time and well protected in the box. Setting it up was really quick – I just plugged it in to the power supply and connected my chromecast into the HDMI port. I was streaming YouTube, Netflix and Disney+ to it within a matter of minutes! The clarity and brightness of the picture are very impressive and definitely good enough for my needs. The remote all worked as expected once I’d added some AAA batteries. The audio straight out of the projector is absolutely fine, but I’ve plugged it into an external speaker for a bit more bass. There is some fan noise from the projector, but it’s quieter than I was expecting to be honest, so not an issue at all. It also has a feature where you can flip the image of the projector, allowing you to project from behind the screen rather than in front, which could turn out to be useful. Really pleased with this purchase – bargain!

Amazing product. Perfect for lots of different occasions. It’s very small and lightweight so great to take it to different places. The quality is great and a lot clearer than I thought it would be. Looking forward to using it outside in the summer! The only thing I would have hoped for is for the plug lead to be longer but that is resolved with an extension lead
I don’t often write reviews, but I have to say this product is what it claims to be. A really good compact project, the sound coming out of it is actually incredible and I was impressed by the picture quality for the size and price of this. It’s really easy to use and set up, I’ve only used HDMI from my laptop (Max) so far and no issues at all. Used it to elevate a lockdown 30th birthday for my fiance and it was a lovely surprise for him.
Before we get into it, I want to advise that my rating is based on the quality of the projector at this price point as there is obviously more advanced and expensive projectors on the market but my review is based on a holistic viewpoint.
Ok with that out the way, my partner and I tend to chill in our kitchen and tend to use YouTube for cocktail ideas or recipes so instead of always burying ourselves into our phones we thought it would be cool to have a smart TV in the kitchen but then that idea was a little pricey and maybe a little much for just cocktail videos, then eureka! What about a projector?
I have no previous hands on experience with projectors so when comparing them on amazon the Vamvo YG300 Pro Video Projector immediately stood out due to the design and excellent price point and I was intrigued by a review which stated they used their Now TV stick in theirs as I have a Google Chromecast which I assumed would work in a similar manner so concluded this would be a great entry level purchase and the decision was made.
Straight out the box it was easy to use, very simple and intuitive, small user friendly menu to select language and input source, I immediately tried out my desired setup and input my Chromecast into the HDMI and USB connectors and to my excitement there it was, the Chromecast ambient screensaver projected on my wall. I used my phone to stream a YT cocktail video to my CC and within seconds it was projected onto my wall, the image was a little blurry at first but the projector has a simple focus switch next to the lens and it was quick and simple to make the image clear and sharp.
The inbuilt speaker system does the job however as you would imagine at this price point the sound isn’t top quality but it certainly isn’t terrible but if you are planning on making this purchase to have movie nights (I for one are missing that cinema experience) then I would suggest you plug your preferred speaker into the projector using the aux input.
This was my setup, in my kitchen we have a Bose Soundtouch 10 which we plugged into the aux and the sound was spot on however I have bought a new Bluetooth speaker for under 15 which I intend on using as a dedicated projector speaker.
As you will see from the video, we projected our videos onto our kitchen blinds however a sheet or lovely big plain wall would work the same if not better. We also adjusted the aspect ratio to fit our blinds better but if you have a bigger surface you won’t need to adjust too much apart from the sharpness.
This won’t replace a 4k TV so don’t expect certain HD videos or games to look as good as they would on your TV but it works wonderfully if you are streaming something which isn’t filmed in HD such as the 1978 TV show Vega$ or having a retro music video party in your kitchen.
So to summarise, if you are looking for a user friendly entry level projector which is fun and won’t break the bank but produces the goods then I would highly recommend investing in the Vamvo YG300 Pro Video Projecto
I bought this projector for an at home movie night and I am extremely impressed with how well it works. It is a very simple device to set up, however I would suggest getting a stand to go with the projector as I think it will allow you to get the image exactly where you want it projecting rather than balancing it on books to make it the right height however it still does work without the stand. The volume is great and works in sync with the movie you are watching and can go up to a high level. It’s very bright and projects the image well, I dont have a projector screen and I used a large white sheet which worked well, however a thicker fabric would be preferable. Overall this is a really great product and we’ll worth the money!

Overall this is probably better than I expected. My expectations weren’t very high based on the price but it works quite well for what I use it for. I didn’t want to spend a lot of money on a projector as it will be only used sparingly and was really only expecting the kids to be using it.
Having had it a few days now, I can see myself using it more than I thought. The picture quality is adequate for a movie and connecting my Firestick has allowed me to use this as another TV. I’ve seen reviews about the sound quality and although it’s not perfect it is acceptable for my use.
My one disappointment in the product is the lack of keystone correction, meaning if you are not pointing the projector square at the screen/wall the sides will be slanty. This means that a tripod is a necessity to ensure a square picture. Since it is a portable device is would have been great not to need a tripod too.
Overall though I’m happy with my purchase.
So small, so economical, so simple to use… and so enjoyable!
Sent my kids up to get ready for bed, and by the time they’d finished brushing their teeth 10 minutes later, I had this all set up downstairs (using a ‘lightning to HDMI’ cable, which I bought separately for 5, to attach my MacBook Air) for a surprise family movie night.
Always a bit ensure when buying new technology, but this has been far from disappointing. As soon as I had it out the box, we had it easily set up and straight away playing high quality video on the wall. Really impressed by the picture quality, and ease of use to set it up and get it working. Very happy with the product, and great value for money so far. Looking forward to taking it out and about once the power pack arrives.

Having own private cinema at home was a dream of mine since I was a kid. I wanted a good quality, sharp picture without troubling about complications while setting up the device or having a headache transporting it. Most of the projectors were way out of my budget, till the moment I saw that portable Vamvo YG300 Pro. After a quick research and seeing few YouTube reviews of the product I realised that might be the right match for me. It’s an amazing how sharp can be the image for a projector of that price range. Easy to set up, easy to fit in my travel backpack and the best thing is that you can use power bank to power that little machine, which gives me the amazing opportunity to watch my favourite series even outdoors camping in the summer. Vamvo YG300 it’s exactly what I was looking for and it’s doing the job perfectly.

Good projector, nice and small as a whole. Connects easily to phone (with HDMI adaptor) and laptop. We connected an Amazon Firestick directly into the projector and it works well, we can now watch Netlflix, Prime, Disney etc. through the projector. Would recommend a stand for it as easier to adjust the projection. Picture quality is good, better the closer you are to the wall, and you can manually adjust the focus. Overall a great projector for the price.
This is a really compact device great for storage and carrying around as very light weight. The picture is a really clear picture and the sound quality was impressive for such a small device. The quiet operating noise is a plus as some other devices can be noisy and annoying. This device is perfect for movie nights indoor or outdoors. Lots of memories to be made with this device for family fun days and easy set up in minutes. Great purchase good value for money.
A little tricky to set up but once set up no complaints. Once connected to my google home it was like being in a cinema. Its led to some amazing date nights as we can watch movies in a totally new way. Would totally recommend to anyone considering. Its so small which means I can travel with out and watch movies outside (at night time). Best purchase EVER!!
For the price it is a good purchase in my opinion, and great for a quick home cinema experience.
However, if you’re unsure what to expect from this product, expect a slightly noisy fan and mobile phone tier sound quality (I have my own speakers though so this isn’t a problem for me). The edges of the projection blur slightly (tested at a distance of ~2 1/2 metres) so is unsuitable for small text/working, but great for video or even video games.
Also to note: Out of the box my projector had a small patch of dead pixels, though I don’t think this is standard.
It is an ace little thing to throw into a bag when camping.it is very portable with decent picture quality. The sound is not the best but for a small projecter it’s not the worst. It looks quite sleek and has a easy to yous interface. The remote it perfect for the use my one compact with it is it only works form behind. It is not the most rugged thing but for the price it’s all round quite good .
Great product, bought this to use while i was away on my boat itworked really well projecting it on a small area with in my bunk space where a TV would take yo mich room. Also easy to take away with you places and hook up a HDD and play movies where there is no TV would recommend to anyone pictures great, sound quality not amazing but good enough for situations where this is eair to set up then a TV also its easy enough to just connect a speaker.

The projector on a whole is amazing with good sound and focus however there seems to be a build up of dirt inside the projector at first I thought I’d scratched the lens but as the lens turns when the focus is changed I know that it’s not the lens because it’s always on the left side of the projection my brother also has this projector and as far as I know it doesn’t have this issue other than that I feel that it was worth it’s money and I would buy agai
Bought this projector for my university accommodation. It doesn’t disappoint. Very small and compact but great picture quality and value for money. Easy to focus and set up on any wall or blind. Multiple ports for easy streaming from other devices. Good sound quality. Would fully recommend to anyone looking for a cheaper projector but still with great quality.
Very good small, portable projector, especially for the low price point. Remote is very convenient too. Have to buy separate adaptor to connect phone/tablet. Slightly louder than I expected but it hasn’t caused any issues. Very easy to set up and use – can easily add an external speaker if you want a better sound quality. Picture quality is better than I expected.
I bought this to replace an old TV in my bedroom and I love it even though I’ve only had it for a few days. It is small and portable and the image is very clear even when my room is quite bright. I’m able to get the picture much bigger than with my TV but without taking up any space in the room (though I did have to clear a bit of wall space to project on). As a student, I move between bedrooms and could not afford or fit a TV in my uni room so this is a brilliant (I would say better) alternative. The delivery was quick and it also looks really nice in my room. Looking forward to lots of movie nights using this projector.
Very portable but at no detriment to image size or quality
Great picture quality, at first thought I wouldn’t be able to read subtitles on films however once plugged in they are really clear to read. However although there is a charging port for you phone but would be good if you could project your phone screen and came with an AUX chord but apart from these it is a must buy especially as the price is so good for the item.
Honestly i think this projector is pretty good considering its price and size – the picture quality is good and just takes a little to find the proper one, i put the video in to show the quality.
Definitely recommend connecting it speakers for a better sound or turning the volume a little higher than normal as the fan(?) makes some noise but it’s nothing anyone won’t get used to.
Really like this projector, its great for a cinema type feel at home!
Ideal for our needs. We are only using it in a small area, so there is no problem at all with quality. The reviews here seem accurate as does the information provided by the supplier. Dont expect high quality over larger distances. My only criticism is that the remote sensor is at the back of the projector, so we can’t use the remote control where we have put the projector. We love our movie nights now though, bring out the popcorn!
I was very impressed with this. The projector is so small and yet gives a really good big picture. The sound is also surprisingly good. I connect it to my 2014 MacBook Air with an HDMI to Mini DisplayPort cable into the thunderbolt port. I either play DVDs or something like BBC iPlayer through the laptop.
The reason why I purchased this product was for cookie decorating however this is product is not suitable for this given the picture is in elect when projected onto a surface 50cm approx distance. With that said, the picture from a normal distance is very good and makes this product very good given the price. The remote is a little challenging to use initially, however after a little time it becomes easier.
It’s an overall good product. It’s a cute portable size and comes with free HDMI to HDMI cable which was a good surprise. The picture quality as well is quite good considering its price. You’re definitely getting your money’s worth with this projector. The audio quality is not the best but if you use a speaker instead of the projector, it works a lot better. Overall, I would definitely recommend the product especially for indoor movie nights.
This arrived today and we love it! We bought it as a lockdown treat to try and have a bit of a cinema experience at home. When we plugged our laptop in the picture quality is great and the ability to change the focus easily is really helpful. I’m sure we will get lots of use out of it
Had it a couple of months now and still loving it, it works great for at home use and we might even try to use it outside now we are allowed guests in the garde
Honestly, I had no idea what to expect but I was actually excited to get it working. I used my Amazon fire stick with it so it was quite easy to get it started. The picture quality is great at 1080p but am sure it could be better probably if I adjust the picture mode. Sounds from the projector is alright but am glad you can use a speak to connect as well for better experience. Overall, it a great purchase I would recommend it!
i brought this product for my girlfriend for her birthday for domestic use of watching tv shows and films. the product arrived early and in excellent time, the packaging was sufficient and had appropriate bubble wrap to protect the product. the product price is appropriate however similar products may be slightly cheaper but this being said i believe that the product is well worth its money and optional additional protection warranty.
unfortunately the product didn’t come with an iPhone cable adapter but you can pick one up for cheap online so it is not a huge deal. overall i am very happy with the product and would buy it again.
4.0 out of 5 stars fast delivery, good quality and picture

I was looking for a good cheap projector I can use to help me sketch out things on walls and other objects and this was fab, it’s actually better quality then I expected for that price. Definitely gonna be using it for movies and all. Sound quality is meh but you can easily fix that with a speaker that is connected to your pc, over all is a good product, wish it came with wires to connect to your phone or tablet rather then just a computer. Since it’s a mini projector it would make much more sense, either way good produc
I have received this product today. It was super easy to set up and the screen quality is really good considering it so small and rather cheap to purchase. I have plugged an amazon firestick into the projector so I could access Netflix and amazon Prime. However when using prime for the life of me I couldn’t get any sound with a quick search I found that the projector doesn’t support Dolby audio. Once I sorted it the sound a great. My kids love it. The remote isn’t as responsive as I would like it to be.
I really like this projector. Once you get used to what you can connect to it and how to navigate around menus (both do not take much figuring out), it is really easy to use. Great to watch films on bedroom wall. Obviously the quality of the background will affect picture but on some surfaces I found the picture quality excellent. The sound is good enough for me, maybe not up to cinematic standard that some may hope for. Really light weight and easily portable. I would recommend.
Received the projector today and was pleasantly surprised with both the size and design of the item. The projectors ability to connect to so many different devices is really helpful, especially at this price point. The resolution quality is good, and the set up easy enough. The Lighting takes a while to warm up. The in built speaker is fairly negligible, I haven’t tried connecting an external speaker but I can’t imagine its overly difficult. All in all a good product.
Great projector bought for socially distanced movie nights in the garden when permitted by regulations of the appropriate tier.
The picture is great. I have the Vamvo projector screen too and have had lovely family movie nights with hot dogs and cinema food! The USB and HDMI ports mean I can plug in my Chromecast to stream Netflix and Disney+ from my phone, and the aux port is great for aux cord connections to speakers or for plugging in Bluetooth/FM transmitters for wireless speakers or radios.
My favourite feature is that I can power this with a portable power bank through the micro-USB port on the back of the projector.
Amazing fun with this projector, I definitely recommend it! Especially during these times 🙂
I bought this really as a bit of an experiment. I often watch sport/streaming services on my tablet in my bedroom and thought I would try this out to get a bigger screen. Well I love it! I’ve been connecting to my tablet and projecting onto my ceiling for watching in bed or onto a blank white wall. The picture quality is fine for my purposes, if you are looking for super super sharp picture then you are probably looking above this price point. I often watch with subtitles and have no problem reading these on the projected image. The sound is also fine but obviously can be improved with all sorts of different devices and the projector has plenty of connection options for this.
The devise itself is compact and sturdy. Its about the size of a long book. So very easy to move around the house or even take elsewhere. I had everything set up in minutes (note batteries not included for the remote). There is a very slight hum when the devise is in use but I never notice this when I’m watching anything.
Overall, was really impressed with the quality of this product and at this price I could not be happier with my purchase! Highly recommended

We bought this projector so we could move it from room to room in our house. We did a bit of research on different projectors out there and this seemed to be the most popular as an all rounder for quality, sound and function. We weren’t sure on what to expect for the price but this product is absolutely fantastic! The picture and sound quality is great, it is really easy to set up and the remote control is simple to use.
I was look for a good deal during Black Friday and that’s when I came across this projector. It’s been years since I owned a TV where I could watch my films or play games but this has revived my interest in it. I’ve been using it and very pleased overall especially when you consider the price.
I’ve wanted a projector for a while now, something that was lightweight and would be easy to take away with me for family holidays and weekends away and this was absolutely perfect. The price is amazing too for what you get! It’s a really nice size, looks great, good picture quality and I was really surprised how loud it goes too and it’s clear! Overall, really happy with the product. Can’t wait to take it away with me! I’d definitely buy another one!
For the money this is a good product. Sound is a bit tinny but workable and picture is good, particularly when room is darkened. Not great it bright lit room but you’d need much bigger projector for that.
I had no idea where to start when looking for a projector but when I found this one and read all the positive reviews, I had to give it a try. I can say I’m really pleased with it and it’s great value for money: It comes with all the cables you need, it can project the length of a 3-seater sofa and you can use it to charge your phone too. The maximum volume on it is really powerful and and the visual quality is really good too (see pictures attached). Overall, I’m really pleased with my purchase and glad that I can now enjoy a cinematic experience at home.
Great little projector! Perfect size, we only live in a small flat and didn’t want something that takes up too much room. Going to buy a small little shelf to keep it on. Great for the price. And it’s so fab that it’s portable. Will definitely be taking this camping.
The sound is lovely and clear, it’s a bit tinny sounding but to be expected. And the projector makes a dull humming noise.
The picture quality is reasonable. I wasn’t expecting anything amazing for the price but it looks reasonably good. I would definitely recommend.
Great piece of kit for the price. It will be perfect for camping. I have it running off a 20000 mah portable battery and I have an Amazon Firestick working in it (running on same power bank)
I have then set up old iPhone as a wifi hotspot and it is working great! Sure the speakers are not great but what do you expect in such a small unit. Simple to plug into external speaker.
The remote is solid and the screens are simple to navigate. I have also run movies off USB easily. The screen is a decent size comparable to large tv ? 50″
Picture quality is very good considering the price of the projector. Sound is clear but benefits from using a bluetooth speaker which are cheap enough to compliment the projector. Can be used with a power bank to save trailing cables, especially handy for outside cinema. Controls are easy to use both on the unit and remotely. Don’t expect HD quality here but I can’t fault this for the money.
It is very small and portable. Excellent quality and easy to use. I connected an Amazon Stick to the side and powered it using the USB power output. It turns on instantly and doesn’t need to warm up before displaying a picture. I recommend connecting the audio using an aux chord to better speakers instead of having to hear everything from the projector’s audio system. The edge of the picture frame gets a little fuzzy when you focus the center of the picture frame but at this price point this is a great purchase for our needs.
Absolutely love this product! I bought it as a birthday present and we have used it constantly since, for a mid range projector this has incredible picture quality and is well worth the money I spent on it. My partner and I have used it for both gaming and watching films/tv. The sound quality from the projector is good, it’s not amazing but is better than I expected. We have taken to using our own speakers instead of the in built ones. The remote control is a really nice touch and is very easy to use. The whole thing has been really amazing and im absolutely chuffed with it. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to buy. In the pictures attached we have used a plain white sheet as a screen and as you can see the quality is great!
Bought it for my youngest son so he can watch his favourite cartoons. This projector it’s small and lightweight and has a really cute design. The picture quality is so good, had no issues with it. I think I’ve done a good choice to get it because I can also play videos from my phone using the HDMI cable. Arrived well packed, good job.
We ordered this projector for our 10 year old daughter for Christmas and was not really expecting it to be as good as it is. It is easy to hook up to a laptop and the picture quality is excellent. The set up and installation menus are easy to navigate using the projector buttons and even easier with the remote control that comes with it.
The sound quality is good but loads better of you connect to a speaker.
Its a great looking bit of kit that works really well considering the size – I would definitely recommend!
Really good present idea. I bought this for my boyfriend for christmas, it wasn’t something he had asked for and he LOVES it. Couldn’t recommend it more. The sound and picture are really good quality, even better considering how portable it is. If buying to use with an iPhone you do need an additional cable (HDMI to lightning cable) but works great from a laptop (still waiting to get the cable to try with the phone) looking forward to taking this away, such a good purchase, really recommend!
Nice design, easy to use and the colours are great! It’s a bit tricky to get it to be powered from my portable power bank, but the mains power adaptor that’s included works fine. It was also nice that a HDMI cable was included in the package, which is uncommon. The instruction manual is well written well, with clear instructions. Would recommend!
Set up in minutes used fire stick with it and it powered from its own usb port. Plugged in external speakers via stereo jack. Great picture for price definitely exceeded my expectations I have been put off getting a cheap projector but now I wish I had done it ages ago.
Takes some time to set up but once it’s working it’s brilliant! The picture quality is really good and the sound quality was much better than I thought it wouldbe. I would suggest that if using it outside or in a large room to get a speaker.
Depending on the device you want to use it with you many need some additional wires to set it up. If you have a macbook air you need an extra mini display port to HDMI adaptor and if you have a macbook or macbook pro you need a USB-C cable.
I expect that this product is the best possible version of what can exist at the advertised price point (65 gbp at time of purchase) [EDIT: dust may be a problem – see later]. The projected image is clear and vibrant, even at 2pm in the afternoon and a projection distance of 3m+ (provided one draws the curtains). The sound from the projector is adequate but quiet – external speakers will probably be needed for most use-cases. [EDIT: volume controls on remote are easy to miss – sound go much louder than it comes out-of-box]. Pictures and videos in other “top reviews” accurately reflect my experience with the product.
New to projectors? Read this section:
This was my first experience with a projector, so I’ll share what surprised me about the experience. Projectors need to run fans to keep from burning out – these fans can be quite noisy, so plan to buy external speakers. Projectors have a lot of wires running in/out of them – power cable, HDMI, speakers – the projector may be small, but these wires all take up space. Plan ahead to know what your setup will look like prior to purchase. Projectors will often have lower (or more noticeable) resolution – don’t expect this to give you a 4K resolution image on a 150″ screen.
What functionality does this product lack?
It has an SD card slot, but be aware (1) the SD card goes in ‘upside down’ from what I would have expected and (2) its support for video file formats is incomplete and inconsistent – it does not seem to support m4v files, and only some of my mp4 files were able to be read.
It does not have a “tilt adjust” feature – if you want your image centered at 5ft, you will want to have your projector elevated to the same height.
Durability/Longevity
This review is dated to Christmas 2020. If the product fails, I will report back – until then, this report attests that the product is still in excellent working condition.
EDIT: within two weeks of use, significant portions of the viewing area were marred by dark blotches. These were due to dust on interior optical components. It is unclear whether the dust was drawn in by the fan (i.e. inadequate filtering) or if it was present in the original condition (i.e. dusty factory conditions). I suspect the latter, but cannot be sure. It is possible (but difficult) to take the projector top off (the white part) and clean out the interior using an air duster – this resolves the problem. I will report back if regular maintenance is required. If I can test and confirm that another projector at a similar price-point that does not suffer this problem, I will report back with a recommendation.
EDIT: Dust does appear to be a consistent issue, in my experience – you either need to clean it out every two weeks or so or else learn to live with it (I am happy with the latter approach). I suspect – but do not know – that it is difficult to have an adequate filter without a much stronger (more expensive) fan. As such, my overall rating still stands – I suspect that this is a good product for its price-point, and I am happy with its performance for my purposes.
Closing notes
I am very happy with this projector. Would buy again, and would recommend to friends and family. Well priced for a Christmas or Birthday gift – but plan ahead for wiring/speakers/setup.
edit: I will refrain from making recommendations on specific projectors until I can confirm a model with no dust issues.

I bought this as a cheap way of viewing holiday videos. I found that it does it need a decent portable screen to get the best out of the image quality, but fabric screens are cheap, and coupled to the low cost, well worth it. I also obtained a cheap projector stand. I was surprised at firstly the simplicity of the connections. Video, or images on a USB stick are easily found, and play without much fuss. Focussing is simple, with a large handle to help move the lens elements. Sound is surprising from such a small box ( really small, with all its connectors, power supply, lighting elelment, USB connector etc, it weighs next to nothing, and is about the size of a small tissue box.) I suggest being carefully not to smudge the lens is a good idea, as well as watching out for the heat from the projector. The instructions were the only real issue, but they worked. Take note of not looking directly in to the lens while on, and when turning it off, do NOT immediately unplug it from the power source, or remove connections- the instructions indicate caution for 30 seconds, and I for one, believe them. Wait a minute or two.
I can’t say whether support will be good if it all goes wrong, or that replacement parts are easy to get, and apply.
To sum up this is a quality item which punches well above its cost.

I am massively impressed with this little projector. I bought it is a gift and they loved it. I was worried it may produce a small image given how cheap it was but on testing it easily projected to a large size. It is extremely portable and light weight, produces a good strong picture and gives a good enlargement.
Bought as a birthday present for my partner – he absolutely loves it!! So far we have tested it through smartphones and a laptop and have been able to stream both Youtube videos and Netflix shows in good quality. The sound quality isn’t 5* but it’s good enough to hear what is going on and if you want surround sound/better quality, it’s not hard to link up to an external speaker. We can’t wait for the good weather next year to enjoy streaming the rugby in the garden with some friends! In the meantime, we can enjoy this anywhere around the house. Would definitely recommend as an entry level portable projector.
I ordered this as a gift for my partner who is always watching movies. For the price and the size, this projector is great. Years ago something similar in specs would have cost 100’s
The projector turns on and off immediately with no warm-up time needed and it took me less than 2 minutes to connect it to my laptop via HDMI and begin playback. The remote works great and has a real quality feel about it.
Resolution is slightly lower than I would have liked. You may not be able to see some small format text but at this price point, I really can’t complain.
I use this projector with an external speaker to give the sound a bit more impact. The projector does have its own speaker though.
All in all for this price point and the size of this product, I would highly recommend to anyone.
ordered the …. projector during the last Amazon Black Friday and I am so pleased with my purchase. It is so versatile and creates a surprisingly large projection for its size. So far I have connected it successfully to my iPhone, iPad and even to my old Nintendo Wii so that I can play Mario Kart in an arcade style at home whilst also hooking it up to an AV speaker.
Its portable size means that it is not a hassle to move it around and setup. I have attached to a tripod, used it on a table and also used a bendable tripod to attach it to my bed head so that I can sit in bed and watch movies. I am also looking forward to taking it camping in the Summer and projecting onto the tent wall.
I have seen this advertise for over a year and I have always longed to buy this projector for a very long time. But now I can and I have and I’m glad that I did. Its exactly what to expect, it’s small convenient. The set up was so easy and simple to use. But the only down fall was I had to order a hdmi to USB cable to connect my phone but when I got it and plugged it to the projector the picture quality was amazing, the adjusting screen was smooth, the sound quality was really good too. I have never regretted buying this and I will recommend this to friends and family. I love it and my son loves it too, it’s like having a cinema in my bedroom.
I wanted a small and portable projector with a good image quality and all of it for an affordable price. I saw Vamvo advert through Instagram some time ago and I completely fall in love with the design. Then I have been checking with some different projectors with the same characteristics and honestly, this one is the best option value for price. I got it delivered the same day, which was amazing, and I set it up easily.
I does include HDMI cable and adaptor for TV. Although it doesn’t include the adaptor to the smartphone you can fin an affordable one and that would do an amazing portable projector. Recommendation here! If you have a power bum just would bring your experience to the next level, as the projector’s size is really handy you will be able to bring it wherever you want such as outdoors and move it around easily in your house.
Image is just perfect it supports HD 1800 but I have displayed 4K videos and it does its job perfectly there also.
Definetely perfect to have an economic but quality option if you are thinking to buy a handy projector. I will totally recommend.

After some fiddling around with the colour, contrast and brightness I got it to a picture I’m happy with. I love the projector, it’s small enough to fit on my shelf and the sound quality surprised me (it’s decent and I haven’t used my own speaker as yet).
This projector is light weight small and easy to use the only two down sides are if you are an iPhone user you have to separately buy a lightning to hdmi adapter these are quite expensive and are not encluded in this package the projector will not run without this cable if an iPhone user .The other issue I have is with the extremely loud noises that come from the projector when projecting. It is pretty distracting unless you have the volume up very high. This projector should tell you about this information so you are prepared for it when it comes other than this it is an easy to use mini projector and over all pretty good.

I bought this projector as I saw someone on Instagram use it. I had been looking around for a while for a projector to take of trips I take.
The projector arrived the day after I ordered and it was well wrapped. The instructions are easy to follow, and easy to set up.
One thing to note is you can’t plug your phone in and stream from streaming services (Netflix, Amazon, Disney etc) due to copyright laws. But using a chrome cast or something similar, if that is plugged into the hdmi port, it works just as well as plugging it into a tv.
I bought a separate plug to be able to plug the hdmi into my iPhone, but found out that I can’t stream.
The sound did lag on the projector when I was using YouTube through my phone, but I’m sure that is due to my phone and not the projector. It is recommended to use separate speakers.
The picture was excellent and very easy to focus, depending on how far away it is to a flat plain wall.
I can’t wait to use it properly!!

I purchased this for my sons birthday as he loves films and DVDs. We are very impressed with the ease of use, sound quality and image for the price. The colours are not washed out. The size is ideal for portability. There is only 1 HDMI port, so we are going to add a 2 into 1 converter. The remote is very easy to use.
I have just received this projector today and I am already so impressed. For the price of it, the quality is amazing and it is very straightforward to use. Will be so handy to take with me on holidays as it is so small! I cant quite figure out how to get the audio to play from the projector itself but I’m sure it won’t be too difficult to work out. Great product!
This projector is easy to use with nice picture quality and reasonable sound. Considering its size, it is value for money. Can’t wait to use it more in summer evenings next year.
Simple, easy-to-use projector. More than good enough for dark bedroom/living toom use. More than good enough for casual use. Good value for money for an exactly what it says on the tin projector.
Quick delivery, simple instructions to get started, works quickly.
Fan not too loud, cabling straightforward. What more do you need.
I had to buy this in a bit of a panic for my daughters birthday. She suddenly decided that she wanted a den set up an have a ‘cinema’ for her and her friends. Ordered it, came the next day and took almost no instructions to get going and set up. The picture quality is great for an it like this priced at way under 100…!
Its not massively feature rich, but I will refer you back to the price. What I will say is that a bunch of young girls huddled under blankets and sheets laid over chairs, cupboards and tables lying on cushions and pillows thought it was the best thing they’d ever seen.
Can’t recommend this highly enough, I can see this coming out at Christmas, Parties etc just to project up on the wall and run slideshows or home videos.
The value for money for this projector is amazing! For such a small projector I wasn’t expecting the picture quality to be great but it is so clear and so easy to set up. Very straight forward instructions with pictures which tells you exactly what you need to set it up. I love how it is portable so you can bring it wherever you want. So glad I invested in this, will be using it so much.
The projector has good build quality, good image quality and is very simple and self explanatory to use. The only fault that I can see is a fingerprint on the inner side of the adjustable lens but this does not appear to affect image quality and so I did not need to send it back or open it up myself. Worth the money for a fun projector to watch some movies with friends and whatnot.
The projector arrived quickly and packaged well. The sound and picture quality is amazing, I honestly did not expect superb picture quality but I was proven wrong. This is real value for money and even comes at par with higher end more expensive rivals. The projector is a neat size, very portable and light. Overall very easy to set up and user guide is easy to follow.
Picture quality was great for family fun but really disappointed that this was delivered without any outer wrapping so not only did som see his gift but when the label was removed it tore the box
I’ve been meaning to order projector for a very long time. I tried to go with this one and it is just fantastic. Its very compact and easy to use with a tiny remote controller. Its very cheap compared to what it offers. Its sound quality is also phenomenal.
If you are looking for something cheap and yet quality projector this one is to go with. The overall quality is good.
I have had a great experience with this product on the whole. It produces a very sharp picture quality even when projecting simply onto a wall, due to the focuser control it has. The quality of the speaker is not incredible but I do not think it is that improtant for what the product is made to do and the speaker is loud enough that it would be easy for lots of people to listen at once. I am still yet to try out the projector with my phone and I am not sure whether or not it will be able to play videos off my phone.
Overall a great buy and I am happy with the product.
Easy to set up and great value for money. Image quality is good and easy to focus. Built in speakers do the job but better to plug in external ones. Unfortunately I was unable to get the projector powered from a power bank but this may be due to the power bank output not being correct (5V/2.1A instead of the projectors 5V/2A input) . All round good value for money. Only downside is that it is abit more noisy than I Expected.

Great little device. Love the fact that you can run this off a power pack. Image quality is great. Sound isn’t too bad but they have a headphone socket and can also attach aux speakers which improves the sound. Overall worth it for the price

This product is fantastic! I bought this as a gift for my boyfriend who is moving into his first flat and can’t afford a TV. Would definitely recommend as it works in all kind of light conditions and has a great quality! Very pleased with this especially since it was so reasonably priced! Also great that it is a small projector and doesn’t take up a lot of room. Also, it doesn’t make much noise which is great as it doesn’t interrupt what you are watching.
I wasn’t buying this really expecting much – I just wanted an upgrade on my daughter’s (even smaller) pocketsized projector, so I chose this one based on the good reviews. It has far exceeded my expectations and I am surprised that a projector of this size would perform this well.
It has all the input modes that I have ever used on a projector – via USB and SD I have loaded up downloaded video files for her to watch and via HDMI I have streamed movies from my laptop for her. The picture is very good – the colours are bright and the animations/movements on the projected video are clear.
It is also surprisingly quiet – I would have thought that for a small projector it would have had more of a tendancy to overheat and therefore the fan would be too loud. Not the case with this. The included speaker isn’t half bad – perfect for a littlun’s ears but via aux we have also plugged in a small portable speaker but with beefier sounds.

Value for money is very good ,it does do the job, its small and easy to carry, picture quality is not fantastic but for the job I ordered for is perfect, how ever I ordered the hdmi to lighting cable which it was advertised that people buy it toghter to connect to your mobile , not working or I still couldn’t figure it out
I have this product 3.5 out of 5
Thank you
Very good quality of image nice picture for all use , any video text or picture . Picture very light i connected the computer for watch a movie and is was really amazing . I use aswell whit ps4 and is really good image . Very good product . Small compact and easy to use . I’m happy with this produc
Great value for money. It’s light and portable and has a clear picture. If you have an iPhone or Samsung you need to buy an iPhone or Samsung HDMI cable separate but once you’ve got it, it’s great. Heats up quite quickly so dont leave it near clothes etc. You can plug it in or charge it. Perfect for its price
I put the projector to use immediately on a white bedroom wall and found it easy to set up and to navigate the menus. The projector is small, lightweight, and the picture quality is better than I anticipated. So far I am extremely pleased with the purchase and cannot wait to try out the projector some more.
The projector did not come with a power bank, so it would be worth getting one if you’re planning on using the projector outdoors.
I bought the projector to have some movie nights at home during lockdown and it has exceeded my expectations. Will definitely be taking this with me on my travels.
I bought this projector because I was given a projector screen last year off a friend and my son has been asking when we are having a movie night under the gazebo. So I wasnt sure how these things work, but once we got it out of the box, it was really straight forward. We connected it to our now tv dongle and used the now tv remote to pick movies and watch you tube too. So far we have set it up in the kitchen so its not completely dark and the picture quality is really good so I cant wait till its properly set up outside.
I got this projector to use in my office in work. I already have a large one for the larger halls, but it’s a little too big to store in my little office cupboard. The projector is a neat size, you can see in my photo I have out my hand over it as a size comparison. Initially I tried to use the projector for my phone, but I could not work it out so I will need to try it again later. So, I got my laptop, plugged in the HDMI cable and it worked instantly. I was really pleased, because I had almost been afraid to try it. The instructions are really simple, just plug it on and go.
I was surprised, considering the size of the projector that the picture was decent quality. I played YouTube videos on it and it looked great. There’s sound too, and I am sure you could plug in a speaker if you were using it in a very large room,but it’s more than okay as it is. There’s a lever on the side to adjust the focus, couldn’t be simpler too.
All I’m all I am pleased with my new projector, I’m glad I bought it.

Very satisfied with this purchase. Didn’t expect it to be delivered same-day on a Sunday but it was! The set up took about 1min, very user friendly buttons design and UI. Decent picture quality, bright enough to work with a bed side lamp on and work perfectly for projecting on the ceiling. Several resolution options available for diff purposes. Tried with my laptop, will try it with my tablet and phone as well. Would highly recommend!
I’d had my eye on this projector for a while and I ordered it on a lightning deal. Everything was delivered on time and well protected in the box. Setting it up was really quick – I just plugged it in to the power supply and connected my chromecast into the HDMI port. I was streaming YouTube, Netflix and Disney+ to it within a matter of minutes! The clarity and brightness of the picture are very impressive and definitely good enough for my needs. The remote all worked as expected once I’d added some AAA batteries. The audio straight out of the projector is absolutely fine, but I’ve plugged it into an external speaker for a bit more bass. There is some fan noise from the projector, but it’s quieter than I was expecting to be honest, so not an issue at all. It also has a feature where you can flip the image of the projector, allowing you to project from behind the screen rather than in front, which could turn out to be useful. Really pleased with this purchase – bargain!

Amazing product. Perfect for lots of different occasions. It’s very small and lightweight so great to take it to different places. The quality is great and a lot clearer than I thought it would be. Looking forward to using it outside in the summer! The only thing I would have hoped for is for the plug lead to be longer but that is resolved with an extension lead
I don’t often write reviews, but I have to say this product is what it claims to be. A really good compact project, the sound coming out of it is actually incredible and I was impressed by the picture quality for the size and price of this. It’s really easy to use and set up, I’ve only used HDMI from my laptop (Max) so far and no issues at all. Used it to elevate a lockdown 30th birthday for my fiance and it was a lovely surprise for him.
Ok with that out the way, my partner and I tend to chill in our kitchen and tend to use YouTube for cocktail ideas or recipes so instead of always burying ourselves into our phones we thought it would be cool to have a smart TV in the kitchen but then that idea was a little pricey and maybe a little much for just cocktail videos, then eureka! What about a projector?
I have no previous hands on experience with projectors so when comparing them on amazon the Vamvo YG300 Pro Video Projector immediately stood out due to the design and excellent price point and I was intrigued by a review which stated they used their Now TV stick in theirs as I have a Google Chromecast which I assumed would work in a similar manner so concluded this would be a great entry level purchase and the decision was made.
Straight out the box it was easy to use, very simple and intuitive, small user friendly menu to select language and input source, I immediately tried out my desired setup and input my Chromecast into the HDMI and USB connectors and to my excitement there it was, the Chromecast ambient screensaver projected on my wall. I used my phone to stream a YT cocktail video to my CC and within seconds it was projected onto my wall, the image was a little blurry at first but the projector has a simple focus switch next to the lens and it was quick and simple to make the image clear and sharp.
The inbuilt speaker system does the job however as you would imagine at this price point the sound isn’t top quality but it certainly isn’t terrible but if you are planning on making this purchase to have movie nights (I for one are missing that cinema experience) then I would suggest you plug your preferred speaker into the projector using the aux input.
This was my setup, in my kitchen we have a Bose Soundtouch 10 which we plugged into the aux and the sound was spot on however I have bought a new Bluetooth speaker for under 15 which I intend on using as a dedicated projector speaker.
As you will see from the video, we projected our videos onto our kitchen blinds however a sheet or lovely big plain wall would work the same if not better. We also adjusted the aspect ratio to fit our blinds better but if you have a bigger surface you won’t need to adjust too much apart from the sharpness.
This won’t replace a 4k TV so don’t expect certain HD videos or games to look as good as they would on your TV but it works wonderfully if you are streaming something which isn’t filmed in HD such as the 1978 TV show Vega$ or having a retro music video party in your kitchen.
So to summarise, if you are looking for a user friendly entry level projector which is fun and won’t break the bank but produces the goods then I would highly recommend investing in the Vamvo YG300 Pro Video Projecto
I bought this projector for an at home movie night and I am extremely impressed with how well it works. It is a very simple device to set up, however I would suggest getting a stand to go with the projector as I think it will allow you to get the image exactly where you want it projecting rather than balancing it on books to make it the right height however it still does work without the stand. The volume is great and works in sync with the movie you are watching and can go up to a high level. It’s very bright and projects the image well, I dont have a projector screen and I used a large white sheet which worked well, however a thicker fabric would be preferable. Overall this is a really great product and we’ll worth the money!
Ok with that out the way, my partner and I tend to chill in our kitchen and tend to use YouTube for cocktail ideas or recipes so instead of always burying ourselves into our phones we thought it would be cool to have a smart TV in the kitchen but then that idea was a little pricey and maybe a little much for just cocktail videos, then eureka! What about a projector?
I have no previous hands on experience with projectors so when comparing them on amazon the Vamvo YG300 Pro Video Projector immediately stood out due to the design and excellent price point and I was intrigued by a review which stated they used their Now TV stick in theirs as I have a Google Chromecast which I assumed would work in a similar manner so concluded this would be a great entry level purchase and the decision was made.

Overall this is probably better than I expected. My expectations weren’t very high based on the price but it works quite well for what I use it for. I didn’t want to spend a lot of money on a projector as it will be only used sparingly and was really only expecting the kids to be using it.
Having had it a few days now, I can see myself using it more than I thought. The picture quality is adequate for a movie and connecting my Firestick has allowed me to use this as another TV. I’ve seen reviews about the sound quality and although it’s not perfect it is acceptable for my use.
My one disappointment in the product is the lack of keystone correction, meaning if you are not pointing the projector square at the screen/wall the sides will be slanty. This means that a tripod is a necessity to ensure a square picture. Since it is a portable device is would have been great not to need a tripod too.
Overall though I’m happy with my purchase.
So small, so economical, so simple to use… and so enjoyable!
Sent my kids up to get ready for bed, and by the time they’d finished brushing their teeth 10 minutes later, I had this all set up downstairs (using a ‘lightning to HDMI’ cable, which I bought separately for 5, to attach my MacBook Air) for a surprise family movie night.
They loved it, and so did I. Bargain!
Always a bit ensure when buying new technology, but this has been far from disappointing. As soon as I had it out the box, we had it easily set up and straight away playing high quality video on the wall. Really impressed by the picture quality, and ease of use to set it up and get it working. Very happy with the product, and great value for money so far. Looking forward to taking it out and about once the power pack arrives.

Having own private cinema at home was a dream of mine since I was a kid. I wanted a good quality, sharp picture without troubling about complications while setting up the device or having a headache transporting it. Most of the projectors were way out of my budget, till the moment I saw that portable Vamvo YG300 Pro. After a quick research and seeing few YouTube reviews of the product I realised that might be the right match for me. It’s an amazing how sharp can be the image for a projector of that price range. Easy to set up, easy to fit in my travel backpack and the best thing is that you can use power bank to power that little machine, which gives me the amazing opportunity to watch my favourite series even outdoors camping in the summer. Vamvo YG300 it’s exactly what I was looking for and it’s doing the job perfectly.

Good projector, nice and small as a whole. Connects easily to phone (with HDMI adaptor) and laptop. We connected an Amazon Firestick directly into the projector and it works well, we can now watch Netlflix, Prime, Disney etc. through the projector. Would recommend a stand for it as easier to adjust the projection. Picture quality is good, better the closer you are to the wall, and you can manually adjust the focus. Overall a great projector for the price.
This is a really compact device great for storage and carrying around as very light weight. The picture is a really clear picture and the sound quality was impressive for such a small device. The quiet operating noise is a plus as some other devices can be noisy and annoying. This device is perfect for movie nights indoor or outdoors. Lots of memories to be made with this device for family fun days and easy set up in minutes. Great purchase good value for money.
A little tricky to set up but once set up no complaints. Once connected to my google home it was like being in a cinema. Its led to some amazing date nights as we can watch movies in a totally new way. Would totally recommend to anyone considering. Its so small which means I can travel with out and watch movies outside (at night time). Best purchase EVER!!
For the price it is a good purchase in my opinion, and great for a quick home cinema experience.
However, if you’re unsure what to expect from this product, expect a slightly noisy fan and mobile phone tier sound quality (I have my own speakers though so this isn’t a problem for me). The edges of the projection blur slightly (tested at a distance of ~2 1/2 metres) so is unsuitable for small text/working, but great for video or even video games.
Also to note: Out of the box my projector had a small patch of dead pixels, though I don’t think this is standard.
It is an ace little thing to throw into a bag when camping.it is very portable with decent picture quality. The sound is not the best but for a small projecter it’s not the worst. It looks quite sleek and has a easy to yous interface. The remote it perfect for the use my one compact with it is it only works form behind. It is not the most rugged thing but for the price it’s all round quite good .
Great product, bought this to use while i was away on my boat itworked really well projecting it on a small area with in my bunk space where a TV would take yo mich room. Also easy to take away with you places and hook up a HDD and play movies where there is no TV would recommend to anyone pictures great, sound quality not amazing but good enough for situations where this is eair to set up then a TV also its easy enough to just connect a speaker.

The projector on a whole is amazing with good sound and focus however there seems to be a build up of dirt inside the projector at first I thought I’d scratched the lens but as the lens turns when the focus is changed I know that it’s not the lens because it’s always on the left side of the projection my brother also has this projector and as far as I know it doesn’t have this issue other than that I feel that it was worth it’s money and I would buy agai
Bought this projector for my university accommodation. It doesn’t disappoint. Very small and compact but great picture quality and value for money. Easy to focus and set up on any wall or blind. Multiple ports for easy streaming from other devices. Good sound quality. Would fully recommend to anyone looking for a cheaper projector but still with great quality.
Very good small, portable projector, especially for the low price point. Remote is very convenient too. Have to buy separate adaptor to connect phone/tablet. Slightly louder than I expected but it hasn’t caused any issues. Very easy to set up and use – can easily add an external speaker if you want a better sound quality. Picture quality is better than I expected.
Overall very happy.
I bought this to replace an old TV in my bedroom and I love it even though I’ve only had it for a few days. It is small and portable and the image is very clear even when my room is quite bright. I’m able to get the picture much bigger than with my TV but without taking up any space in the room (though I did have to clear a bit of wall space to project on). As a student, I move between bedrooms and could not afford or fit a TV in my uni room so this is a brilliant (I would say better) alternative. The delivery was quick and it also looks really nice in my room. Looking forward to lots of movie nights using this projector.
Great picture quality, at first thought I wouldn’t be able to read subtitles on films however once plugged in they are really clear to read. However although there is a charging port for you phone but would be good if you could project your phone screen and came with an AUX chord but apart from these it is a must buy especially as the price is so good for the item.
Honestly i think this projector is pretty good considering its price and size – the picture quality is good and just takes a little to find the proper one, i put the video in to show the quality.
Definitely recommend connecting it speakers for a better sound or turning the volume a little higher than normal as the fan(?) makes some noise but it’s nothing anyone won’t get used to.
Really like this projector, its great for a cinema type feel at home!
Ideal for our needs. We are only using it in a small area, so there is no problem at all with quality. The reviews here seem accurate as does the information provided by the supplier. Dont expect high quality over larger distances. My only criticism is that the remote sensor is at the back of the projector, so we can’t use the remote control where we have put the projector. We love our movie nights now though, bring out the popcorn!
I was very impressed with this. The projector is so small and yet gives a really good big picture. The sound is also surprisingly good. I connect it to my 2014 MacBook Air with an HDMI to Mini DisplayPort cable into the thunderbolt port. I either play DVDs or something like BBC iPlayer through the laptop.
Good projector.. Nice quality picture but it doesn’t come with the required attachment for phone
The reason why I purchased this product was for cookie decorating however this is product is not suitable for this given the picture is in elect when projected onto a surface 50cm approx distance. With that said, the picture from a normal distance is very good and makes this product very good given the price. The remote is a little challenging to use initially, however after a little time it becomes easier.
It’s an overall good product. It’s a cute portable size and comes with free HDMI to HDMI cable which was a good surprise. The picture quality as well is quite good considering its price. You’re definitely getting your money’s worth with this projector. The audio quality is not the best but if you use a speaker instead of the projector, it works a lot better. Overall, I would definitely recommend the product especially for indoor movie nights.
This arrived today and we love it! We bought it as a lockdown treat to try and have a bit of a cinema experience at home. When we plugged our laptop in the picture quality is great and the ability to change the focus easily is really helpful. I’m sure we will get lots of use out of it
Had it a couple of months now and still loving it, it works great for at home use and we might even try to use it outside now we are allowed guests in the garde
Honestly, I had no idea what to expect but I was actually excited to get it working. I used my Amazon fire stick with it so it was quite easy to get it started. The picture quality is great at 1080p but am sure it could be better probably if I adjust the picture mode. Sounds from the projector is alright but am glad you can use a speak to connect as well for better experience. Overall, it a great purchase I would recommend it!
i brought this product for my girlfriend for her birthday for domestic use of watching tv shows and films. the product arrived early and in excellent time, the packaging was sufficient and had appropriate bubble wrap to protect the product. the product price is appropriate however similar products may be slightly cheaper but this being said i believe that the product is well worth its money and optional additional protection warranty.
unfortunately the product didn’t come with an iPhone cable adapter but you can pick one up for cheap online so it is not a huge deal. overall i am very happy with the product and would buy it again.

I was looking for a good cheap projector I can use to help me sketch out things on walls and other objects and this was fab, it’s actually better quality then I expected for that price. Definitely gonna be using it for movies and all. Sound quality is meh but you can easily fix that with a speaker that is connected to your pc, over all is a good product, wish it came with wires to connect to your phone or tablet rather then just a computer. Since it’s a mini projector it would make much more sense, either way good produc
I have received this product today. It was super easy to set up and the screen quality is really good considering it so small and rather cheap to purchase. I have plugged an amazon firestick into the projector so I could access Netflix and amazon Prime. However when using prime for the life of me I couldn’t get any sound with a quick search I found that the projector doesn’t support Dolby audio. Once I sorted it the sound a great. My kids love it. The remote isn’t as responsive as I would like it to be.
I really like this projector. Once you get used to what you can connect to it and how to navigate around menus (both do not take much figuring out), it is really easy to use. Great to watch films on bedroom wall. Obviously the quality of the background will affect picture but on some surfaces I found the picture quality excellent. The sound is good enough for me, maybe not up to cinematic standard that some may hope for. Really light weight and easily portable. I would recommend.
Received the projector today and was pleasantly surprised with both the size and design of the item. The projectors ability to connect to so many different devices is really helpful, especially at this price point. The resolution quality is good, and the set up easy enough. The Lighting takes a while to warm up. The in built speaker is fairly negligible, I haven’t tried connecting an external speaker but I can’t imagine its overly difficult. All in all a good product.
Great projector bought for socially distanced movie nights in the garden when permitted by regulations of the appropriate tier.
The picture is great. I have the Vamvo projector screen too and have had lovely family movie nights with hot dogs and cinema food! The USB and HDMI ports mean I can plug in my Chromecast to stream Netflix and Disney+ from my phone, and the aux port is great for aux cord connections to speakers or for plugging in Bluetooth/FM transmitters for wireless speakers or radios.
My favourite feature is that I can power this with a portable power bank through the micro-USB port on the back of the projector.
Amazing fun with this projector, I definitely recommend it! Especially during these times 🙂
I bought this really as a bit of an experiment. I often watch sport/streaming services on my tablet in my bedroom and thought I would try this out to get a bigger screen. Well I love it! I’ve been connecting to my tablet and projecting onto my ceiling for watching in bed or onto a blank white wall. The picture quality is fine for my purposes, if you are looking for super super sharp picture then you are probably looking above this price point. I often watch with subtitles and have no problem reading these on the projected image. The sound is also fine but obviously can be improved with all sorts of different devices and the projector has plenty of connection options for this.
The devise itself is compact and sturdy. Its about the size of a long book. So very easy to move around the house or even take elsewhere. I had everything set up in minutes (note batteries not included for the remote). There is a very slight hum when the devise is in use but I never notice this when I’m watching anything.
Overall, was really impressed with the quality of this product and at this price I could not be happier with my purchase! Highly recommended

We bought this projector so we could move it from room to room in our house. We did a bit of research on different projectors out there and this seemed to be the most popular as an all rounder for quality, sound and function. We weren’t sure on what to expect for the price but this product is absolutely fantastic! The picture and sound quality is great, it is really easy to set up and the remote control is simple to use.
I was look for a good deal during Black Friday and that’s when I came across this projector. It’s been years since I owned a TV where I could watch my films or play games but this has revived my interest in it. I’ve been using it and very pleased overall especially when you consider the price.

I’ve wanted a projector for a while now, something that was lightweight and would be easy to take away with me for family holidays and weekends away and this was absolutely perfect. The price is amazing too for what you get! It’s a really nice size, looks great, good picture quality and I was really surprised how loud it goes too and it’s clear! Overall, really happy with the product. Can’t wait to take it away with me! I’d definitely buy another one!
For the money this is a good product. Sound is a bit tinny but workable and picture is good, particularly when room is darkened. Not great it bright lit room but you’d need much bigger projector for that.
I had no idea where to start when looking for a projector but when I found this one and read all the positive reviews, I had to give it a try. I can say I’m really pleased with it and it’s great value for money: It comes with all the cables you need, it can project the length of a 3-seater sofa and you can use it to charge your phone too. The maximum volume on it is really powerful and and the visual quality is really good too (see pictures attached). Overall, I’m really pleased with my purchase and glad that I can now enjoy a cinematic experience at home.
Great little projector! Perfect size, we only live in a small flat and didn’t want something that takes up too much room. Going to buy a small little shelf to keep it on. Great for the price. And it’s so fab that it’s portable. Will definitely be taking this camping.
The sound is lovely and clear, it’s a bit tinny sounding but to be expected. And the projector makes a dull humming noise.
The picture quality is reasonable. I wasn’t expecting anything amazing for the price but it looks reasonably good. I would definitely recommend.
Great piece of kit for the price. It will be perfect for camping. I have it running off a 20000 mah portable battery and I have an Amazon Firestick working in it (running on same power bank)
I have then set up old iPhone as a wifi hotspot and it is working great! Sure the speakers are not great but what do you expect in such a small unit. Simple to plug into external speaker.
The remote is solid and the screens are simple to navigate. I have also run movies off USB easily. The screen is a decent size comparable to large tv ? 50″
Highly recommended!!
Absolutely love this product! I bought it as a birthday present and we have used it constantly since, for a mid range projector this has incredible picture quality and is well worth the money I spent on it. My partner and I have used it for both gaming and watching films/tv. The sound quality from the projector is good, it’s not amazing but is better than I expected. We have taken to using our own speakers instead of the in built ones. The remote control is a really nice touch and is very easy to use. The whole thing has been really amazing and im absolutely chuffed with it. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to buy. In the pictures attached we have used a plain white sheet as a screen and as you can see the quality is great!
Bought it for my youngest son so he can watch his favourite cartoons. This projector it’s small and lightweight and has a really cute design. The picture quality is so good, had no issues with it. I think I’ve done a good choice to get it because I can also play videos from my phone using the HDMI cable. Arrived well packed, good job.
We ordered this projector for our 10 year old daughter for Christmas and was not really expecting it to be as good as it is. It is easy to hook up to a laptop and the picture quality is excellent. The set up and installation menus are easy to navigate using the projector buttons and even easier with the remote control that comes with it.
The sound quality is good but loads better of you connect to a speaker.
Its a great looking bit of kit that works really well considering the size – I would definitely recommend!
Really good present idea. I bought this for my boyfriend for christmas, it wasn’t something he had asked for and he LOVES it. Couldn’t recommend it more. The sound and picture are really good quality, even better considering how portable it is. If buying to use with an iPhone you do need an additional cable (HDMI to lightning cable) but works great from a laptop (still waiting to get the cable to try with the phone) looking forward to taking this away, such a good purchase, really recommend!
Nice design, easy to use and the colours are great! It’s a bit tricky to get it to be powered from my portable power bank, but the mains power adaptor that’s included works fine. It was also nice that a HDMI cable was included in the package, which is uncommon. The instruction manual is well written well, with clear instructions. Would recommend!
Set up in minutes used fire stick with it and it powered from its own usb port. Plugged in external speakers via stereo jack. Great picture for price definitely exceeded my expectations I have been put off getting a cheap projector but now I wish I had done it ages ago.
Takes some time to set up but once it’s working it’s brilliant! The picture quality is really good and the sound quality was much better than I thought it wouldbe. I would suggest that if using it outside or in a large room to get a speaker.
Depending on the device you want to use it with you many need some additional wires to set it up. If you have a macbook air you need an extra mini display port to HDMI adaptor and if you have a macbook or macbook pro you need a USB-C cable.
New to projectors? Read this section:
This was my first experience with a projector, so I’ll share what surprised me about the experience. Projectors need to run fans to keep from burning out – these fans can be quite noisy, so plan to buy external speakers. Projectors have a lot of wires running in/out of them – power cable, HDMI, speakers – the projector may be small, but these wires all take up space. Plan ahead to know what your setup will look like prior to purchase. Projectors will often have lower (or more noticeable) resolution – don’t expect this to give you a 4K resolution image on a 150″ screen.
What functionality does this product lack?
It has an SD card slot, but be aware (1) the SD card goes in ‘upside down’ from what I would have expected and (2) its support for video file formats is incomplete and inconsistent – it does not seem to support m4v files, and only some of my mp4 files were able to be read.
It does not have a “tilt adjust” feature – if you want your image centered at 5ft, you will want to have your projector elevated to the same height.
Durability/Longevity
This review is dated to Christmas 2020. If the product fails, I will report back – until then, this report attests that the product is still in excellent working condition.
EDIT: within two weeks of use, significant portions of the viewing area were marred by dark blotches. These were due to dust on interior optical components. It is unclear whether the dust was drawn in by the fan (i.e. inadequate filtering) or if it was present in the original condition (i.e. dusty factory conditions). I suspect the latter, but cannot be sure. It is possible (but difficult) to take the projector top off (the white part) and clean out the interior using an air duster – this resolves the problem. I will report back if regular maintenance is required. If I can test and confirm that another projector at a similar price-point that does not suffer this problem, I will report back with a recommendation.
EDIT: Dust does appear to be a consistent issue, in my experience – you either need to clean it out every two weeks or so or else learn to live with it (I am happy with the latter approach). I suspect – but do not know – that it is difficult to have an adequate filter without a much stronger (more expensive) fan. As such, my overall rating still stands – I suspect that this is a good product for its price-point, and I am happy with its performance for my purposes.
Closing notes
I am very happy with this projector. Would buy again, and would recommend to friends and family. Well priced for a Christmas or Birthday gift – but plan ahead for wiring/speakers/setup.
edit: I will refrain from making recommendations on specific projectors until I can confirm a model with no dust issues.

As such, my overall rating still stands – I suspect that this is a good product for its price-point, and I am happy with its performance for my purposes.
Closing notes
I am very happy with this projector. Would buy again, and would recommend to friends and family. Well priced for a Christmas or Birthday gift – but plan ahead for wiring/speakers/setup.
edit: I will refrain from making recommendations on specific projectors until I can confirm a model with no dust issues.
I can’t say whether support will be good if it all goes wrong, or that replacement parts are easy to get, and apply.
To sum up this is a quality item which punches well above its cost.

I am massively impressed with this little projector. I bought it is a gift and they loved it. I was worried it may produce a small image given how cheap it was but on testing it easily projected to a large size. It is extremely portable and light weight, produces a good strong picture and gives a good enlargement.
Bought as a birthday present for my partner – he absolutely loves it!! So far we have tested it through smartphones and a laptop and have been able to stream both Youtube videos and Netflix shows in good quality. The sound quality isn’t 5* but it’s good enough to hear what is going on and if you want surround sound/better quality, it’s not hard to link up to an external speaker. We can’t wait for the good weather next year to enjoy streaming the rugby in the garden with some friends! In the meantime, we can enjoy this anywhere around the house. Would definitely recommend as an entry level portable projector.
The projector turns on and off immediately with no warm-up time needed and it took me less than 2 minutes to connect it to my laptop via HDMI and begin playback. The remote works great and has a real quality feel about it.
Resolution is slightly lower than I would have liked. You may not be able to see some small format text but at this price point, I really can’t complain.
I use this projector with an external speaker to give the sound a bit more impact. The projector does have its own speaker though.
All in all for this price point and the size of this product, I would highly recommend to anyone.
ordered the …. projector during the last Amazon Black Friday and I am so pleased with my purchase. It is so versatile and creates a surprisingly large projection for its size. So far I have connected it successfully to my iPhone, iPad and even to my old Nintendo Wii so that I can play Mario Kart in an arcade style at home whilst also hooking it up to an AV speaker.
Its portable size means that it is not a hassle to move it around and setup. I have attached to a tripod, used it on a table and also used a bendable tripod to attach it to my bed head so that I can sit in bed and watch movies. I am also looking forward to taking it camping in the Summer and projecting onto the tent wall.
I have seen this advertise for over a year and I have always longed to buy this projector for a very long time. But now I can and I have and I’m glad that I did. Its exactly what to expect, it’s small convenient. The set up was so easy and simple to use. But the only down fall was I had to order a hdmi to USB cable to connect my phone but when I got it and plugged it to the projector the picture quality was amazing, the adjusting screen was smooth, the sound quality was really good too. I have never regretted buying this and I will recommend this to friends and family. I love it and my son loves it too, it’s like having a cinema in my bedroom.
I wanted a small and portable projector with a good image quality and all of it for an affordable price. I saw Vamvo advert through Instagram some time ago and I completely fall in love with the design. Then I have been checking with some different projectors with the same characteristics and honestly, this one is the best option value for price. I got it delivered the same day, which was amazing, and I set it up easily.
I does include HDMI cable and adaptor for TV. Although it doesn’t include the adaptor to the smartphone you can fin an affordable one and that would do an amazing portable projector. Recommendation here! If you have a power bum just would bring your experience to the next level, as the projector’s size is really handy you will be able to bring it wherever you want such as outdoors and move it around easily in your house.
Image is just perfect it supports HD 1800 but I have displayed 4K videos and it does its job perfectly there also.
Definetely perfect to have an economic but quality option if you are thinking to buy a handy projector. I will totally recommend.

Quick delivery and excellent for a movie night in the garden. Sound is good and can also plug in additional speaker for larger area.
After some fiddling around with the colour, contrast and brightness I got it to a picture I’m happy with. I love the projector, it’s small enough to fit on my shelf and the sound quality surprised me (it’s decent and I haven’t used my own speaker as yet).
This projector is light weight small and easy to use the only two down sides are if you are an iPhone user you have to separately buy a lightning to hdmi adapter these are quite expensive and are not encluded in this package the projector will not run without this cable if an iPhone user .The other issue I have is with the extremely loud noises that come from the projector when projecting. It is pretty distracting unless you have the volume up very high. This projector should tell you about this information so you are prepared for it when it comes other than this it is an easy to use mini projector and over all pretty good.
I bought this projector as I saw someone on Instagram use it. I had been looking around for a while for a projector to take of trips I take.
The projector arrived the day after I ordered and it was well wrapped. The instructions are easy to follow, and easy to set up.
One thing to note is you can’t plug your phone in and stream from streaming services (Netflix, Amazon, Disney etc) due to copyright laws. But using a chrome cast or something similar, if that is plugged into the hdmi port, it works just as well as plugging it into a tv.
I bought a separate plug to be able to plug the hdmi into my iPhone, but found out that I can’t stream.
The sound did lag on the projector when I was using YouTube through my phone, but I’m sure that is due to my phone and not the projector. It is recommended to use separate speakers.
The picture was excellent and very easy to focus, depending on how far away it is to a flat plain wall.
I can’t wait to use it properly!!

I purchased this for my sons birthday as he loves films and DVDs. We are very impressed with the ease of use, sound quality and image for the price. The colours are not washed out. The size is ideal for portability. There is only 1 HDMI port, so we are going to add a 2 into 1 converter. The remote is very easy to use.
I have just received this projector today and I am already so impressed. For the price of it, the quality is amazing and it is very straightforward to use. Will be so handy to take with me on holidays as it is so small! I cant quite figure out how to get the audio to play from the projector itself but I’m sure it won’t be too difficult to work out. Great product!
This projector is easy to use with nice picture quality and reasonable sound. Considering its size, it is value for money. Can’t wait to use it more in summer evenings next year.
Simple, easy-to-use projector. More than good enough for dark bedroom/living toom use. More than good enough for casual use. Good value for money for an exactly what it says on the tin projector.
Quick delivery, simple instructions to get started, works quickly.
Fan not too loud, cabling straightforward. What more do you need.
Its not massively feature rich, but I will refer you back to the price. What I will say is that a bunch of young girls huddled under blankets and sheets laid over chairs, cupboards and tables lying on cushions and pillows thought it was the best thing they’d ever seen.
Can’t recommend this highly enough, I can see this coming out at Christmas, Parties etc just to project up on the wall and run slideshows or home videos.
The value for money for this projector is amazing! For such a small projector I wasn’t expecting the picture quality to be great but it is so clear and so easy to set up. Very straight forward instructions with pictures which tells you exactly what you need to set it up. I love how it is portable so you can bring it wherever you want. So glad I invested in this, will be using it so much.
The projector has good build quality, good image quality and is very simple and self explanatory to use. The only fault that I can see is a fingerprint on the inner side of the adjustable lens but this does not appear to affect image quality and so I did not need to send it back or open it up myself. Worth the money for a fun projector to watch some movies with friends and whatnot.
The projector arrived quickly and packaged well. The sound and picture quality is amazing, I honestly did not expect superb picture quality but I was proven wrong. This is real value for money and even comes at par with higher end more expensive rivals. The projector is a neat size, very portable and light. Overall very easy to set up and user guide is easy to follow.
Picture quality was great for family fun but really disappointed that this was delivered without any outer wrapping so not only did som see his gift but when the label was removed it tore the box
If you are looking for something cheap and yet quality projector this one is to go with. The overall quality is good.
Thank you Vamvo!
I have had a great experience with this product on the whole. It produces a very sharp picture quality even when projecting simply onto a wall, due to the focuser control it has. The quality of the speaker is not incredible but I do not think it is that improtant for what the product is made to do and the speaker is loud enough that it would be easy for lots of people to listen at once. I am still yet to try out the projector with my phone and I am not sure whether or not it will be able to play videos off my phone.
Overall a great buy and I am happy with the product.
Easy to set up and great value for money. Image quality is good and easy to focus. Built in speakers do the job but better to plug in external ones. Unfortunately I was unable to get the projector powered from a power bank but this may be due to the power bank output not being correct (5V/2.1A instead of the projectors 5V/2A input) . All round good value for money. Only downside is that it is abit more noisy than I Expected.

Great little device. Love the fact that you can run this off a power pack. Image quality is great. Sound isn’t too bad but they have a headphone socket and can also attach aux speakers which improves the sound. Overall worth it for the price
It has all the input modes that I have ever used on a projector – via USB and SD I have loaded up downloaded video files for her to watch and via HDMI I have streamed movies from my laptop for her. The picture is very good – the colours are bright and the animations/movements on the projected video are clear.
It is also surprisingly quiet – I would have thought that for a small projector it would have had more of a tendancy to overheat and therefore the fan would be too loud. Not the case with this. The included speaker isn’t half bad – perfect for a littlun’s ears but via aux we have also plugged in a small portable speaker but with beefier sounds.
Overall, I am impressed with it.

Value for money is very good ,it does do the job, its small and easy to carry, picture quality is not fantastic but for the job I ordered for is perfect, how ever I ordered the hdmi to lighting cable which it was advertised that people buy it toghter to connect to your mobile , not working or I still couldn’t figure it out
I have this product 3.5 out of 5
Thank you
Great value for money. It’s light and portable and has a clear picture. If you have an iPhone or Samsung you need to buy an iPhone or Samsung HDMI cable separate but once you’ve got it, it’s great. Heats up quite quickly so dont leave it near clothes etc. You can plug it in or charge it. Perfect for its price
I put the projector to use immediately on a white bedroom wall and found it easy to set up and to navigate the menus. The projector is small, lightweight, and the picture quality is better than I anticipated. So far I am extremely pleased with the purchase and cannot wait to try out the projector some more.
The projector did not come with a power bank, so it would be worth getting one if you’re planning on using the projector outdoors.
I bought the projector to have some movie nights at home during lockdown and it has exceeded my expectations. Will definitely be taking this with me on my travels.
Would recommend!!
I was surprised, considering the size of the projector that the picture was decent quality. I played YouTube videos on it and it looked great. There’s sound too, and I am sure you could plug in a speaker if you were using it in a very large room,but it’s more than okay as it is. There’s a lever on the side to adjust the focus, couldn’t be simpler too.
All I’m all I am pleased with my new projector, I’m glad I bought it.
