Set up was incredibly easy, all we had to do was plug it in and turn it on, and then I was able to sync it into the app and control the features.
I'll say the cons first:
The fading function seems linked to how dim the light is already, so if you set your color selections very low in the DIY section, the fading function makes it blink really fast instead of fading in and out slowly, since the light is already dim. On full brightness, it does fade slower but it's still a bit fast. I wish there was a way to control the speed of that more.
I was also hoping to be able to control the speed of the nebula's rotation, but as of right now I haven't been able to do that. On my old projector you could make the waves rotate very fast or hardly move at all.
I do like the nebula look also, but I find it slightly less captivating than some of the ones that rotate in patterns. I understand some people don't like those though, because they can often lag and jitter when changing shape. This one has a very natural look which my fiancé loves.
The lasers, at their lowest setting, are still pretty bright unfortunately.
Also, not really a con for me, but unlike a lot of others available on amazon, it does not have a speaker. I never used the speaker on mine but if you are looking for one that can play music, you'll have to look elsewhere.
Pros:
I love the DIY setting through the app, I was disappointed at first in seeing that the dimmest setting is still pretty bright, but if you make your own setting you can set all the colors incredibly low so that they're comfortably dim. Red, like my old projector, is still the dimmest so I used only that for sleep. Even blue or green on %1 saturation was unfortunately kinda bright, but maybe I'm sensitive.
The device itself feels much sturdier than my previous one, no unnecessary pieces or buttons attached, it's very simple and I think ideal for clumsy children (or adults like myself.)
I think I might've read some reviews talking about the device's noise, but I didn't hear anything.
I can't comment on the timer function because I didn't use it. I prefer just having it on all night and turning it off whenever I wake up. I usually get up several times a night so I prefer being able to see.
Like I said, it's very pretty and realistic looking (minus the laser green stars, still pretty, just unrealistic lol) and it makes for a very comfortable and calming sensory space. I would recommend it for people who are autistic/ have ADHD and enjoy visual sensory input.
