Firstly, the image quality is simply outstanding. Whether it's movies, sports, or gaming, the clarity and color vibrancy bring every scene to life. The high resolution ensures that every detail is crisp and clear, making for an immersive viewing experience. (Also watched one of my all time favorite “Flipped” during Christmas :)
The projector's ease of use is another standout feature. The setup was a breeze (Bluetooth and the app was great), and the intuitive interface allowed me to start using it right out of the box. It seamlessly integrates with all my devices, making it a versatile addition to my home theater, especially I also have a projector stand hahah.
I'm actually impressed with the improved brightness and contrast. This means I can enjoy my favorite shows even in well-lit rooms without losing any of the picture quality. And the sound quality was amazing too!!! I used it as a speaker during my Christmas party and Netflix night with my friends on Wednesday nights (this projector supports official Netflix 😍 can you believe?!!)
In conclusion, this projector is a significant upgrade and worth every penny. It has transformed my viewing experience, making every movie night special. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to enhance their home cinema experience (or simply travel a lot and would like to enjoy time :)

A lot of people said it didn't work with iPhone and I feel like this is because they were trying to airplay content instead of using the apps on the projector itself. I actually was able to airplay from the iphone MTV app (before I found out that the projector had one to download) and the video quality was delayed a lot. So just use the built in apps. They're there for a reason.
However, using a mobile device is still required in terms of navigating through your apps. The remote control works for the projector's menu, but some apps like Hulu require you to use your phone as the remote control through the Nebula app. It basically turns your phone into a trackpad and a mouse. Easy to get the hang of. There's also a keyboard that pops up which makes it easy to search titles or input login info through your phone so you don't have to select one letter at a time. The app works fine on my iPhone 13 without any lag or connectivity issues.
**** Now here's where you really need to pay attention:**** the app comes with Netflix, YouTube, and Amazon Prime pre-loaded. Out of the box, you won't find Hulu US, Disney or HBO in the app store. Look on your main menu to see if there's an Upgrade button. If there is, go through those steps which will update the software and unlock those apps in the app store for you. If there isn't (or this doesn't work) send an email to their support asking to unlock the apps and they'll send you the instructions and a password to do so within 24 hours (seriously, they're really responsive even on weekends). Apparently they are still testing the projector's compatibility with these apps which is why it doesn't come default, but the updating process is simple (10 min) and all apps have run smoothly for me. I probably use Hulu the most out of all.
The battery life has been pretty accurate for me-- 4 hours of watching straight before I get a notice that I'm low battery and need to charge. I've gotten down to 2%, then plugged it in and kept watching and that worked as well, so it charges faster than it burns battery which is nice.
I also LOVE that there's an option to warp the projection image, which means if you have this projecting at an angle, you can adjust the picture so that it looks like it's being projected straight on and it's not stretched. We have it resting on our bed's headboard but the picture looks like it's being projected straight across the room.
As it runs, there's a pretty subtle fan sound but that usually gets drowned out by the video's audio. It can get pretty loud (though we only watch it inside, not sure how it sounds outside).
So overall, I think this is the BEST choice in projector if you don't want to deal with extra plugs, streaming devices, and you're willing to deal with the short update process even if that means emailing them. I've seriously enjoyed using it as a bedroom TV, as we had no place to put a physical TV but we had a big blank wall that works perfectly as a "screen" for this.
Operation/functions are relatively straight forward. The manual doesn't specify that Keystone Correction is under settings and that auto correction can be turned off. VERY disappointed in the horizontal correction (it couldn't even recognize that it was throwing near a corner of my room). Focus wheel is pretty good, and quality is better than my previous projector which died a sudden bulb death over the weekend (RIP my little 100-Lumens pico buddy).
Sound is also decent, but yes, I do hear the running hum from 8 feet away, with the sound up kind of high.
Handy that there's a remote, means I don't have to get off my butt to turn it on or off every day! Batteries were a pain (putting it super nicely, rated G) to get into the back though; the latch wouldn't release at all. Had to use something to compress it. Guess it means they won't pop out if you drop the remote???
Packaging was sleek, efficient, and nice/modern. Always a good sign. Minimal waste. Very eco friendly (that's a big thing for me, might be for you too, just an fyi)FYI.
I think the biggest CON so far for me is that the charging cord is so short (leaving the D out, rated G still). It's gotta be no more than 2.5 feet? Maybe 2. It's not that I don't want to use it's wireless function, but why use it if it's not necessary. It's got a modern battery like cell phones and laptops; charge and drain too often repeatedly, it's useless; leave it charged too often, also not that great. But I can't run it while charging since the cord is too short.
That's it so far, I will update as I see fit. And/or if and when this dies on me. My pico buddy lasted me 5+/- years of almost constant/daily use, so it's got a lot to live up to. But I like Anker products, and own a lot of them, so I have faith.

There is a bit of delay when paired to some Bluetooth speakers ( you'll want to do this to get better bass and have the sound coming from the screen rather than the projector if you're fussy), so being able to adjust the delay of the audio track would be nice but maybe I just need to play with the settings a bit more.
I love Anker's quality products and would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a portable projector.
I purchased this device from a USA supplier and had it shipped to Australia. This has limited some access to on board applications but not to a great extent.
I sought out the Max due to it being 200 ANSI vs 100 ANSI (to the Neb1) and having extended battery of 4hrs play compared to the 2 Hrs of the Neb2.
It runs the most up to date pure android of the bunch but not Android Tv. I have no experience with that OS so cant compare.
The build is attractive and a good shape with small footprint. This allows good positioning in most places, especially in constricted areas. The height also allows it to be higher on the projection surface when viewing close up, ie doing the dishes and having it on the bench beside you - it sits up higher than some of the other non Neb form factors would.
When I received the unit, I was initially worried that the device used an external power source rather than a USB C connection. (I work away and always have USB chargers). This issue I found not to be a big worry as the unit actually has a bigger voltage input and will charge faster. Choice of an Australian wall plug would have been nice however.
Initial use of the device was beyond expectation. It puts out a great picture with decent sound.
The top of the device houses the onboard controls which can at times be a bit of a pain when accidentally touching it whilst moving the device and is only intuitive after some use. It's not a terrible issue however, as long as you are aware of it. The response to the onboard control surface is quick and needs only a light touch.
The included remote control is comfortable and intuitive but does have some limitations with some apps. All up it is a nice little remote. For best control the Phone based Android App is the way to go.
As mentioned, some of the native apps are USA-centric and I had issues with using the native Spotify app as the Australian service doesn't seem compatible. I can get this service from my phone instead of using the dedicated App as a work around. Also, in Australia, the Stan app is not designed for the device so I have to use HDMI input cable for copyrighted content. No Biggy as the BT speaker fills this purpose also. For someone with access to Americentric providers, there is plenty to choose from however it would be nice if it was more global in it's providers. I will try to download more Aussie apps from the play store to improve this in time.
Connectivity wise it is good but initially I had issues with casting video from my phone (Note 9). I contacted the online chat assistance and discussed this and at the same time requested the Google Play Service code and downloaded it. Nice. This gave me access to Play, Photos, Chrome, etc. I had issues navigating the Play Services, in particular, the area to punch in my password would not scroll to the area to hit enter. After trying to log in on a few of the apps, I found one where it would allow input - I cant remember which one but once I got it in all was good. I downloaded Kodi and that was a wicked win. I have thousands of movies for Kodi with all fan art and ancillary files to make it a real winner.
After all this, the casting from my phone worked well. I'm not sure what made it become more stable but alas it has reduced a need for phone to decide HDMI cablec as in the mean time I had purchased a USB C to HDMI cable which also allowed good stable casting from the phone also. This however allows the use of Samsung DX which with a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard makes productivity possible on the road.
The USB input work good with a USB stick but my actual hard drive would baulk every five to ten minutes and need to be reset to the movies prior position. I think this is possibly a power supply issue. USB input navigation is just as you want it.
I am yet to use the Aux input jack... Or is it a head phone jack?
Using the device is great. Its small and able to be transported easily. The auto focus is great. The horizontal angle projector adjustment also great however could be improved by adding a setting where you can chose to be casting the picture on a vertical (a wall) or a horizontal (ceiling) surface. Also the usage could be improved by allowing the screen size/angle to be fine tuned whilst playing video, rather than having to do it before or after interrupting the screening.
On a potentially negative note, I did have one scare where after removing the Max from my bag (where it was well protected - neoprene stubby holders fit around it snuggly), it had a black area on the screen when projecting. I panicked and ordered a refund (on the last day allowed) but later that night when I tapped it gently, the mark was gone. I can only assume there was a spec of dust in the device on the internal surface somehow. This would have had to have been from manufacture due to the care I have shown the device. Anyhow, I will get back to them if it becomes an issue again under warranty.
With a small tripod it projects anywhere or use it without on flat surfaces. It is basically a TV you can take and use anywhere that is dark enough. Even inside during the day with brighter light at close range ie with about a 30 cm (1 ft) wide projection it throws a ripper visual.
I have downloaded an app off Play (airdroid) to transfer files from my phone to it also. I'm looking forward to finding out other options from Play that can enhance the usability. I tried using a VPN app (wang) to bypass local wifi restrictions at work but that has not worked well at this stage. I have not loaded any games on it yet but casting from the phone works well to play games the size of the whole wall.
I love this little machine. I take it every where and treat it like a newborn. I have a sheet on the backyard fence for summer movie nights, we sit in bed and watch the big screen on the ceiling and when on the boat I can put up an A3 sheet and cast to that in many places. As mentioned before, I can do the dishes or get dinner ready and watch the Mandalorian on the wall right beside the sink. This is a Best buy. All up Awesome kit.
Pros-
Small footprint.
Good batt life.
Great pic.
App upgradable.
Cons-
Needs a few software tweaks for adjusting the projection.
Ability to change app layout is limited.
I've been super impressed with how responsive their customer support is. I've had a few requests to have extra apps added and they've responded with the help I need, usually within a day.
I'm really happy with this unit.
