New Replacement Projector Remote Mini Projector C800S Remote Control: A Disappointing Option for COCAR and TOUMEI Mini Projectors

Looking for a reliable and easy-to-use remote control for your Mini Projector COCAR or TOUMEI C800 series? If so, you may have come across the New Replacement Projector Remote Mini Projector C800S Remote Control from PerFascin. This IR remote promises a plug-and-play experience, with no programming or paring required, and a compatibility with the most popular mini projectors in the market. However, as I found out when I tested this product, reality falls short of expectation. In this review, I'll explain why I give this remote control a rating of 1.0 out of 5 stars, and what are the alternatives you can consider instead.

Compatibility Issues

The first problem I encountered with the New Replacement Projector Remote Mini Projector C800S Remote Control was the lack of clear instructions. Although the back cover of the remote includes a list of codes and brands that supposedly work with it, there is no indication on how to select or input a specific code. As a result, I had to try various combinations of button pressing and holding in order to make the remote work with my COCAR Mini Projector. Even then, some of the buttons were not responsive or worked differently than their labels suggested. I also tried using the remote with a TOUMEI C800A model, but it didn't work at all.

Poor Build Quality and Functionality

Once I managed to get the New Replacement Projector Remote Mini Projector C800S Remote Control to connect to my COCAR Mini Projector, I noticed other problems. The buttons felt flimsy and cheaply made, and sometimes they got stuck or didn't respond at all. The range of the remote was also limited, requiring me to be very close and pointed directly at the sensor of the projector for it to register the signal. Even when the remote did work, the button layout and functionality was not intuitive or user-friendly. For example, to access the menu or options, I had to press a combination of buttons rather than a dedicated menu button.

Limited Support and Warranty

If you encounter any problems with the New Replacement Projector Remote Mini Projector C800S Remote Control, you may not find much help from PerFascin. Their customer service and support seem to be lacking, with no clear contact information or warranty policies on their website or product page. The only advice they give is to install two AAA batteries, which are not included with the remote, and to contact them if you have any query. Unfortunately, the query response may not be helpful or timely.

Better Alternatives

While the New Replacement Projector Remote Mini Projector C800S Remote Control may seem like a cheap and easy solution to your remote needs, it's not worth the hassle or disappointment. Instead, I recommend looking for better alternatives that are more reliable and user-friendly. Some of the options you can consider are:

- The original remote control that came with your mini projector, if you still have it or can find a replacement. This is usually the most compatible and effective option, even if it costs more than the generic replacement from PerFascin.

- A universal remote control that is designed for projectors and has a broader range of compatibility and programmable options. Some examples of brands that produce such remotes are Logitech, One For All, and Philips. You may need to spend more money upfront to get a good one, but it can save you time and frustration in the long run.

- A smartphone app or wireless remote that uses Bluetooth or Wi-Fi to connect to your mini projector. This is a more modern and convenient way to control your device, and may offer additional features like voice control or screen mirroring. Some mini projectors already come with such apps or remotes, so check your model's manual or website for details.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the New Replacement Projector Remote Mini Projector C800S Remote Control from PerFascin is not a recommended option for mini projector owners who need a reliable and user-friendly remote control. Its compatibility issues, poor build quality and functionality, and limited support and warranty make it a frustrating and disappointing product. Instead, consider investing in a better and more compatible remote control, such as the original, universal, or app-based options. Your viewing experience and sanity may thank you for it.
