5.0 out of 5 stars SO Versitile and amazing
Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2021
So this little machine is amazing. looking on paper some people say it's pricy for what it does. But the thing is it does everything so well. The auto keystone and focus are amazing. The Bluetooth speaker feature truly makes this a bring everywhere device the 1/4 in lug makes it perfect for more 'semi-permanent installs, and the small size makes it perfect to bring with you. I have this thing set up with a good projector screen in my bedroom and it's perfect for cuddling up for movie night. but I regularly take it down and bring it to party's. I legit saved a wedding with this device; ran up to my hotel room snagged it and then continued the party with the wedding PowerPoint going behind. The picture quality is 720p which you can do better but the image quality is still very good especially when compared to other "mini or pico" projectors. I bring it camping and have used it for some awesome dates (seriously this projector has turned average date nights in the park into something fantastic). There are better projectors for the money, and better speakers for the money, but this thing just does so many different things so well that it's just the best. I have a 4k 65in tv, I watch more movies on this little thing because its just the bee's knees. The company is owned by Anker, and the build quality is outstanding. Battery life has consistently been around 2.5-3hours. Set up is so easy. Netflix on it is... cludgy but the HDMI makes it perfect to play video games with friends. I hook this thing up to my switch and go to casual tournaments and its a great little mini setup. Best purchase I made in 2021

5.0 out of 5 stars Bright, sharp, loud - great except for Netflix
Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2023
This was a great decision for me. I move a lot and live in countries where it is not easy to get or transport a TV, and because of the remoteness of where I live, I find I end up watching a lot of shows and movies. This little beauty has been worth its weight in gold.

First, the pros: it is much brighter than I expected. I have used other mini-projectors, and this is by far the brightest. I can watch TV with the lights on, and although it is a dim image on a sunny day, I can still watch shows without any trouble. I chose the Capsule II because reviews said it was brighter than other models, and I don't regret it. I got an Amazon refurbished version, and I have had no problems or regrets.

The sound quality is much better than I expected. I have high-quality external bluetooth speakers that I've connected it to (easily and with no difficulty), but I actually prefer the sound from the Capsule. It doubles as a portable bluetooth speaker, and I've used it for that a couple of times - not as good for music as my other speakers, but I imagine that would be valuable for anyone who doesn't have other options.

The portability of this tiny unit is no joke. I've packed it in my little carry-on for multiple flights, and I've barely noticed the added weight or bulk.

The Android TV operating system has been working well for me. I'm an AppleTV user, but this has a well-functioning native app for my VPN subscription, unlike Apple, which means that even while traveling I can watch my usual shows. My AppleTV is now gathering dust. The OS is intuitive and easy to navigate, and it took me about 20 minutes to download and log into all the various apps I use.

The battery works OK. I use it outdoors on occasion and can make it through about 3 hours on full brightness without an external battery pack. The fact that this can use external power banks via a USB-C connection is a big plus.

The cons: I'm not sure why Android TV does not have a native Netflix app, but the fact that it doesn't is super annoying. I followed instructions I found online to download an Anker File Manager app that let me then download a mobile version of Netflix onto the device. But the remote doesn't work properly on the mobile app, so I also had to download the Nebula Connect app to use my phone as a mouse-style remote. I find I have to re-connect the bluetooth on my phone (a Pixel 7) almost every time I use it. Not a deal breaker, and I can make it work, but I don't watch as much Netflix now as a result. I also have a Google TV stick that I've used a couple of times, and I'll probably switch to using that for Netflix, just out of frustration with the mobile system. But for now I'm catching up on other apps...

4.0 out of 5 stars Great picture, not the best speaker
Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2023
I've used this projector for about a year now, and the picture quality is amazing. It needs a dark environment, but I've discovered if I project it from behind my screen the room in front of the screen can be a bit lighter and the image is still pretty visible.

Battery life is about 1.5 to 2 hours from my experience, and with most movies seeming to be over two hours it's a stretch to watch one on this without plugging it in. Once it's low on battery the screen brightness is automatically dimmed, so it's harder to see. I usually just leave it plugged in when I'm using it because we just use it in our back yard.

The speaker leaves something to be desired at times. I use the rear projector setting, so the sound comes from behind the screen and at max volume it's a comfortable volume generally, but not really loud and not great for action movies. I pair a Bluetooth speaker with it right below the screen and that's worked perfectly.

Overall 4 out of 5. Battery life could be better, but it's super compact and portable. Speaker could be louder, but it's still usable by itself, and it's easy enough to pair a Bluetooth speaker with it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Glitchy, always breaking, frustrating experience
Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2024
This seemed great for the first month. Cool concept. Now it needs a software update and restart every time I use it. Depending on the app, it typically freezes up and needs a restart (Hulu) or it is nearly impossible to interface with (Netflix). Sound is robotic and grainy and the auto focus keeps adjusting. It’s not portable because it has to be plugged in, battery dies after 30 min. I followed all of the trouble shooting and I’ve reached out to Customer service and that was unbelievably frustrating as well. In the end they offered a 10% off my next purchase, which is not acceptable given the price I paid. All in all the projector has become unusable and I feel taken advantage off. Garbage product. Terrible customer service.
