Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The good: Cost 1. It's big, inflates in a little over a minute, and has a surprisingly stiff structure. 2. The white spandex screen stretches to form a flat projection area. 3. Easy to clean. When inflated, the screen can be cleaned by spraying it with a hose. It takes a fairly long time to dry though. 4. Still works even in the rain (don't recommend this, because deflating it will put the wet screen onto the dirty muddy ground) The Bad: Don't use it much because: 1. Reflectivity is poor, meaning about half the light goes through this thing to allow for rear projection. My 3500 ansi lumin projector (real high watt bulb) is just barely enough on a no moon night. Wouldn't think any of the LED projectors are anywhere close to enough to use full screen. Real projector screens are super bright compared to this one. 2. Wind is a real problem. I stake it down, but the screen is spandex and balloons with even a slight breeze. It's a giant parachute. A 15mph gust will most likely pull the tiny stakes out of soft earth. 3. Rain is not good for allowing it to be packed after use, and I am very worried about mold unless it's really dry. 4. Supplied bag is way too small for one person packing in under 10 minutes folding and compressing. Its a 2 person job, and frustrating with only one person. The vent is in the middle of the base tube, which prevents easy folding and rolling from one side. Need to fold and roll from both sides at the same time. They should put the zipper vent at the ends. 5. Fan is not quiet and needs continuous running. Although it is white noise, it is definitely heard 40' away. Turning up the movie volume will drown this out and is not that noticeable. 6. The white spandex screen gets dirty easily. Can hose it off, but it takes hours for it to dry afterward. 7. The screen comes with slight stains (most likely from the black inflation tubes), but is not noticeable at night when watching movies. 8. With rear projection, can see the projector through the screen. The base of the screen is only about 2' off the ground, so the audience can see the projector if they are not sitting. Have to put the projector pretty much on the ground. A higher screen is better. 9. Not very good with short cast projectors with any air movement. The screen easily moves making the image dance around. Very annoying. Will need an absolutely still night, or indoors if no one walks by the screen disturbing the air.
