Those adaptors (you can just use a PVC reducer) put the weight higher, making it more likely to topple or get knocked over. And they are…

What's the biggest I can go on one of these and still have it fit in the car drink holders?

Anyone know if this is robust? I've had a couple of Kogan ones die running my water tank pump (about 800w). Lasted about a year each.

How come none of the pictures show the AC adaptor hanging out of the unit, as is required?

Serious question: there are no name projectors on Amazon with 1080p and 300 ANSI lumens for $120. Is this >5x better?

And how wide is this hall? That will dictate how big the projection is.

I'm surprised so many families fight over this stuff. I would think it gets split evenly among kids, that's it.
