AKASO WT50 Mini Projector with WiFi and Bluetooth, 1080P DLP Portable Movie Projector Home and Outdoor, Built-in Battery & Android System, Cookie Projector for iPhone and Phone

I am VERY impressed with this mini projector! This was a birthday gift for my 12yr old daughter and she uses it to watch movies in her room all the time! Installing it was a bit confusing but we figured it out. The actual installed apps on the projector (Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, etc,.) work very well but we have not been able to download Disney+ to the projector and we can't project it through the Casting app either. The resolution is great, even when there is some lighting. We stretched the image to about 15' diagonal and it was awesome!!! The image did not get distorted. We have been able to connect JBL speakers (through Aux and Bluetooth) for better sound and also connect to the laptop (to play movies we currently have on DVD or Blu-ray). We have to use the laptop because the projector does not pick up the sound from the DVR, which is weird because it does from the laptop with no problem. I looked into it and this seems to be an issue with DVRs and mini projectors. I checked settings but just couldn't get it to work. I am going to try it on my surround system next to see if it works. Maybe its the settings on that specific DVR. Not sure.. My daughter also uses to project images and then paint over them. For example, my son wanted a Lakers Logo in his room. She did that for him. I needed to cut giant letters for a sign, she projected them, traced them and I just cut them. This was very helpful. She really uses it alot. I do recommend it for whoever is planning on getting one 😁. The remote control works well but its a little slow. Its easier and faster to move the settings manually.

This is a follow up to my original one star. After some time, the company contacted me and offered to replace the device and two days later, I have a new one! I will be sure not to leave it plugged in when not in use. I use it for art projects mostly and it is the perfect projection device for canvases of all sizes! Even as small as 3x5”. I had not been able to find another one like it. I am delighted! Original review: This was a great projector, small, bright and versatile. However, one day the battery inside expanded, split the case open and made it unusable. Too much money for such a short lived (and dangerous?) device. If you have one, make sure you don’t leave it plugged in unattended.

This projector is amazing. I wanted small and was willing to give up picture quality. Didn't give up any quality. It is fantsstic. The only thing hokey off the 5th star is the remote has to be pointed directly at it for use.

This projector is bright and clear and relatively easy to use. You can't use the remote for all of the functions, sometimes you have to use the touch pad on the projector itself. Overall it is pretty intuitive. The tripod it comes with is complete junk and pointless. I recommend getting a different portable tripod. It would be nice if it came with a soft pouch or some sort of case to make it easier to just toss in my laptop bag. I found a soft pouch from something else I'd gotten and repurposed it. The projector has a dedicated power brick for charging. It doesn't use usb charging as near as I can tell. It works great when you have it plugged in, so you can use it for longer stretches of time than the battery would normally last. I was also pleasantly surprised to find that it comes with a (weak) built-in little speaker, so you don't have to connect it with bluetooth to get sound out of it. While the speaker quality isn't that great, it is handy.

This thing is amazing. Works great for cake decorating. Also family movie night outside

This projector is phenomenal. I used it as my second screen for work while traveling internationally, and it was absolutely amazing. As a SWE, I was able to keep a large screen for coding that maintained great resolution and visibility during the day (indoors). Since being home I’ve used it several times for watching movies (outdoors), the sound is great and even pairs well with Bluetooth devices - including iPhones & Androids, etc. I’ve even used a Bluetooth HDMI cable and made a pop-up office-space throughout my house (with bluetooth keyboard/mouse combo).

1 out of 5 stars – So much potential… completely ruined by the interface Let’s start with the good: Manual keystone — one of the best I’ve ever used. Super precise and easy to adjust. Auto keystone, on the other hand… it’s hit or miss (more like 50/50). It only works properly at certain distances, so you’re constantly searching for that sweet spot. Projection quality — decent for the size, and it looks good in a dark room, which is about what you’d expect at this price point. Now for the bad — and it’s a long list. The interface is painfully slow. If you’re buying this for its “smart” features, don’t. The processor inside can barely keep up, and it doesn’t support key apps like Spectrum TV. After spending 20 minutes downloading and another 20 signing in, the app crashed with a nasty error message. The system froze multiple times, and navigating with the remote is awful. The buttons feel cheap, and using the touch controls on the projector itself is useless since it moves the device around while it’s on a tripod. Speaking of the tripod — it’s terrible. If it’s not set up in one very specific way, the entire thing tips over. For $300, you should expect better. I even tried to make it work by plugging in a Roku stick to bypass the clunky interface — but once you do that, manual keystone stops working, forcing you to rely on the auto keystone (which, again, isn’t good). And to top it all off, it doesn’t even have USB-C charging. You can’t use a portable charger — it only charges with the factory adapter. The built-in battery lasts about 1.5 hours, which makes it useless for travel or portable entertainment unless you’re near a wall outlet. After all that tinkering and frustration, I finally gave up, packed it up, and sent it back. The only positive thing I can say is the compact size — but if you’re going to have it plugged in anyway, you’re better off buying a more capable projector. If you just need something for office presentations while traveling, sure — it’ll do the job. But for entertainment? Run away and don’t look back.

Loved this projector until it stopped working. It had a poor battery from the get go and i should i have known better. It had to be plugged in constantly or it wouldn’t hold a charge. This was used less than 4x per year to decorate cookies. Stored in the box in the air conditioned pantry when not in use. No drops or misuse. Bought in 2023 and paid for the extended warranty. Of course it stopped turning on 2 months after the 2 year warranty ended. It still shows a light when plugged in but wont turn on, no motor sound, nothing. Manufacturer said “sorry, we can give 10% off a new one”

Must buy
