Cosmonaut Projector Review: A Galactic Disappointment

Hello everyone!

I'm super excited to share my hands-on experience with the Cosmonaut projector, which I received as a gift. Unfortunately, things didn't go smoothly at first, so let me give you a little background.

The projector itself is shaped like an astronaut, and it comes in two sizes - a compact, seated one and a larger, standing one. Initially, I got the smaller one, which I loved for its sleek design and the fact that it didn't take up much space.

Fast forward, and I'll tell you that the small one is just as feature-rich as the larger one. I was thrilled with the astronaut design, but my excitement was short-lived - after just 6 days, one of the lasers broke, and the starry night projection wasn't as stunning as it used to be.

With the help of the person who gave me the gift, we decided to initiate a return on the marketplace (since the return window was still open) and order a new one. We did just that.

Eventually, I received a new astronaut, but this time it was the larger one. And that's the one I'll be focusing on in this review.

Where to buy?

- marketplaces: OZON, Wildberries, Yandex MarketPrice - ranges from 600 to 1200 rubles

Shipping:

I picked up my astronaut from a Yandex Market pickup point. I'd strongly recommend inspecting the product in person. Bring a USB adapter to test the lasers - don't rush it, and make sure to check the image quality thoroughly, as I noticed the 'starfield' projection wasn't working perfectly at home, but I wasn't about to go through the hassle of another return.

Packaging:

The astronaut comes in a box with some basic product information and technical specs. There's a Russian-language sticker included.

What's in the box:

astronaut, control panel, USB cable, small instruction manual.Each component is individually wrapped in its own packaging.

Instruction manual:

Design:

I've got to say, the projector's design is out of this world – literally! It's a fully plastic, white build with some nice gold accents.

The head of the projector rotates a full 360 degrees, and it's got two lasers built-in – one for projecting stars and the other for creating a cosmic effect. It's a pretty cool feature, and the head even detaches using magnets, but you can't remove it completely since there's a cable connecting it to the main body.

The astronaut's arms move up and down.At the back of the astronaut, there's a control panel that lets you adjust the projector manually. It's got three buttons – one for turning it on/off, another for changing the color of the cosmic projection, and the last one for enabling the star projection.

I love how this thing comes with two cables. One powers it from the wall, and the other goes straight to the head, handling the image projection. The second cable is cleverly hidden, so you'd never guess there's a wire inside the cord - it looks like a deliberate design choice at first.

But, I have to admit, I was unlucky again - I didn't check this detail at the delivery point, and by the time I got home, I realized the base just didn't fit my astronaut figure. The legs are already spread wider than the base can accommodate.Honestly, I was really disappointed - I hadn't even considered that there could be any issues with this, since all the astronaut figures are made the same way, and I thought the base was standard for all of them. Luckily, the astronaut can stand on its own two feet, but you need to be super careful, placing it only on a flat surface and trying not to bump it. Because of these 'falls,' my astronaut already has some minor dents.As I mentioned earlier, make sure to check the figure very carefully, not just the laser function, but the overall appearance as well. Again, it was only at home that I noticed thatI've noticed that the screen embedded in the astronaut's helmet is a bit warped, which is pretty noticeable. To be honest, I'd have written it off as a minor issue, but it does affect the projected image. You can see the distortion in the photo strip below.

Dimensions:

The claimed dimensions are 120*113*228 mm, but I decided to double-check for myself.

Length - 12 cm

Width - 11 cm

Height - 22 cm

Weight - around 300-400 grams

Remote control:

The remote control is included in the package, but it doesn't come with batteries, so you'll need to buy those separately. It uses AAA batteries, to be precise.

The remote control itself is made of rough, black plastic.

Remote control functionality:

Power on/off - red button.

Timer setting - clock button. It has two levels. One press - 45 minutes of operation; two presses - 90 minutes of operation.

Enable/disable nebula projection - central "NEBULA" button. You need to hold the button down.

Change nebula projection color - "NEBULA" button. Colors change with a single press.

Speed up nebula projection - "S+" button, located on the edge. It has 4 levels.

Slow down nebula projection - "S-" button, located on the edge. It has 4 levels.

Brighten nebula projection - "B+" button, located on the edge. It has 4 levels.

Darken nebula projection - "B-" button, located on the edge. It has 4 levels.

Enable/disable star projection - "STAR" button. You need to hold the button down.

Speed up star projection - "S+" button, located at the bottom. It has 3 levels.

Slow down star projection - "S-" button, located at the bottom. It has 3 levels.

Getting a brighter star projection is as easy as pressing the B+ button at the bottom of the remote. It's got three levels.

Getting a darker star projection is just a press of the B- button at the bottom of the remote. It's got three levels too.

Using it:

To get the astronaut powered up, you'll need to plug him into a wall outlet. The cord's a decent 114 cm long.

For me, it's not a problem – I just plug him into an extension cord. The head rotates, so you can plug it in and aim the head in the right direction.There are two ways to get the projection going – either with the remote or by pressing the button on the back of the astronaut, right in the middle of the on/off switch.The rotating head lets you project onto the ceiling or a wall.

All the controls are covered above.

If the remote ever stops working, you can still control things with the buttons on the back of the astronaut. It's not ideal, but it's better than nothing.

The projection:

When you first turn it on, the projection starts with a random-colored cosmos background. The stars start to appear after a few seconds, then fade out. Meanwhile, the cosmos background changes color. It's a loop that you can adjust using the remote.

The color projection of the cosmos has three main colors: green, blue, and red. They're super pretty and transition smoothly into each other, creating additional hues. I've gotta say, it's a really cool effect!

It's amazing to see the bright and dim projection of the 'cosmos'

The 'star' projection has one color - a bright green.

I've got to say, I was a bit disappointed when I compared the projection system of my first astronaut to this one. The small and large astronaut projections are identical, but I prefer the first one. The stars on this bigger astronaut appear and fade out more smoothly. I tried adjusting it with the remote control, but I couldn't get it to work. At first, I was frustrated, but after using it for a while, I noticed that the longer the projector runs, the better the stars appear. So, I'm happy with my astronaut now, and I've learned to live with its quirks.

I think this is a one-off issue, though - my sister's astronaut works perfectly fine. That's why I'd recommend checking the projector thoroughly at the point of pickup. If you're not satisfied, it's better to wait a bit longer and make sure it's working correctly before taking it home.

I have to say, the projection of stars and the cosmos is super vivid. I'm one of those people who doesn't feel comfortable in complete darkness, and the astronaut really saves the day. I can easily fall asleep with this lighting, but it still provides enough visibility if I need to do something in the room.

Projection area:

According to the product cards, the projection area is 45 square meters.

My room is roughly 19 square meters, with a ceiling height of 2.7 meters. The projection lights up my entire ceiling, depending on where I place the astronaut.

Sound/noise:

There are no sound effects with this projector.

There is some noise when it's turned on, but I've come to realize that it's a normal thing for projectors, and it's not too bothersome. It's not something that's going to drive you crazy, especially if the astronaut isn't right next to your ear. Over time, you'll get used to it.

When I hold the projector in my hand, aside from the noise, I can feel some vibrations from it.

Interesting design with thoughtful detailsThe astronaut's head and arms are movableThe lighting is really nice, with multiple color and effect optionsLarge projection areaYou can place the projection anywhere you like - ceiling, wall, etc.There are two ways to control it: mechanical and remoteCons:

You'll need to buy the power adapter and batteries separately, as they're not included in the package.The chances of getting a faulty item are pretty high, so make sure to check the product carefully when you pick it up.The lasers can burn out quickly, so that's something to keep an eye on.Overall impression:

This is a fantastic gift option, especially for kids, but adults will love it too.

The starry night sky projection is absolutely stunning and has tons of options to play with. I find myself getting lost in the stars.

The design of the astronaut is top-notch. It's a great addition to any room and adds a touch of personality to your decor.

One major downside is the risk of getting a faulty product. Even if it arrives in great condition, there's no guarantee the laser won't burn out after a week.

The price is pretty reasonable, and with multiple sellers on marketplaces, you can often find a great deal.

I'd still recommend this product, despite the issues I've had with it. It's brought me a lot of joy and added some much-needed personality to my room.
