Anker NEBULA Mars 3 Outdoor Portable Projector, 1000 ANSI Lumens, AI-Powered Image, Built-In Battery with 5 Hour Playtime, Android TV, 200 Inch Home Theater, Camping, Road Trip, Backyard, or Anywhere

The projector itself is a fantastic product with a build quality that feels similar to what you would expect from a Sony DSLR, the buttons on the top feel sturdy and plush, the lense cover on the front slides up and down to a soft close rather than a dead plastic on plastic stop.The aesthetics of the projector are pleasant with a glowing red surround on the start up, the back lighting on the buttons gives the feeling that the projector has been well designed and thought out!We use the projector when we are away camping and at home in the bedroom, the portability of the projector is great and the back light is very handy to have on while you’re camping!We find the best use for the back light is at night in the bedroom as we have a newborn which makes bottle feeds at night nice and easy.The adjustable stand at the front and automatic keystone is handy as you can perch the projector at any place in a room and it simply adjusts itself for a perfect square screen!The bad points are the limitations of the operating system which I’m sure that these issues will be resolved in future updates, the operating system is android TV which obviously downloads android TV apps which means apps like Prime Video, Netflix, Apple TV and so on do not allow you to download content to watch while you do not have access to Wi-Fi while camping.I’ve found taking my tablet with my movies pre downloaded then just connecting up to the projector tackles this issue well and the fact that the internal storage on the projector isn’t huge anyway.It would of been amazing if they had designed the projector with a C type USB for charging but the charger is well designed and sturdy.

I'm a bit of a projector geek. I've had the original Nebula Capsule, the Nebula Capsule Max, Nebula Capsule ii and Nebula Capsule 3 Laser. I've also owned an Xgimi Halo and other projectors from Benq, Elephas, Viewsonic and Optoma.I've always enjoyed the Anker projectors I've had as they have been well built and reliable with good customer service. My only gripe with the ones I've had was a lack of brightness, though the NC 3 was pretty bright!I decided to purchase the Mars 3, having been given a £180 pre order discount and a further £50 off. It arrived today and I was able to quickly set it up and test it.Is it well built?...Yes. Very. Its a hefty lump, weighing over 6kg so can double as a kettle bell if you want to build up your biceps. Is it bright?... Yes, definitely. Perfectly watchable 100ins picture in daylight with my thin curtains drawn. In darkness, the picture is exceptional and sharp and crisp with beautiful colours. Does it sound good?. Yes. A surprising amount of bass and plenty loud enough. Watching Star Trek: Strange New Worlds on Paramount+, I think the neighbours were engaging shields and setting phasers to stun as they must have thought they were under attack from Klingons.I'm very happy with this projector. It's not cheap..I'm hoping I can buy my granny back from Honest Bob's Pawn Shop ... if I win the lottery, that is. But for a projector geek like myself, I'm like a dog with two tails. Thankyou, Anker. 4 and a half stars because no matter how great something is, there must always be room for improvement. Even with Anker....but im rounding up to 5!I'd also just like to add that Anker's Customer Support is exceptionally good and very prompt. I had a query about a tiny issue and it was resolved immediately.

Brilliant product, easy to set up, great sound and excellent picture quality

Ordered this 11 days ago. It was supposed to arrive by yesterday latest. It has been stuck in Tamworth for four days. No one at Anker, Amazon or UPS is responding to my messages. Terrible service all round.

Robust and sturdy, this gives excellent picture quality and the ability to adjust screen size etc. There was a slight problem with the first one but this firm were a delight to deal with and sent a new one out promptly, which has worked really well. Can stream content from my phone well - important as it does not have BBC or ITV capability. It does have Pluto and UK TV play. It also works well with lap top to play dads. Image is very good.

Netflix app is poor and auto screen can be buggy

Initially takes some time to set up, but once you up and running very easy to use. Picture quality is great. Can be used during the day but may struggle indirect sunlight. Worth the money.
