Geoff Morrison, who reviewed the EF-100 for CNET, thought it was a little pricey for what it offered, though he is a fan of laser-powered projectors. The same goes for the EF-12, which he rated slightly higher. Both are quite compact and have built-in streaming with Android TV as well as integrated speakers that output sound. Despite its small drawbacks, the EF-12 did make our list of best home theater projectors as the “best compact laser projector.”
The Epson EF-12.
Geoffrey Morrison/CNETMorrison’s quick take on the EF-12: “The EF-12 is a small, highly portable projector that looks a lot like the Anker Nebula Pro and the BenQ GS50, but it fits a slightly different niche. It’s easy to tote and doubles as a Bluetooth speaker, but unlike those two it can’t run off of a battery — it requires AC power. The EF-12’s light is created by Epson’s ‘MicroLaser Array Projection Technology.’ Yep, laser beams, which deliver a brighter picture than LED-based models like the Nebula and GS50.”
