POCOCO Galaxy Star Projector for Bedroom with Replaceable Optical Film Discs, Home Planetarium Night Light Projector with High-Definition Soft Light for Relax, Study, and Meditate, Stress Relief Gifts

Update: I wanted to share an update after my original review. Shortly after posting my first impressions (which weren’t great), the seller reached out and suggested that the unit I received might have been defective. They offered to send me a replacement at no charge, and I have to give them credit — their customer service was extremely kind, responsive, and genuinely focused on making things right. I just received the new projector, and the difference is night and day. The images are so much clearer and sharper than the first one I received. The planets look beautiful, and the stars finally look like actual stars instead of blurry blobs. Now my kids and I get to lie down before bedtime, count the stars, and talk about the planets together — which is exactly what I wanted from this product in the first place. Great product, and even better customer service. Original Review: I bought the Pococo Galaxy Star Projector for my 5-year-old daughter after seeing so many positive reviews and videos saying how amazing it was. Unfortunately, my experience was nothing like that. I set it up in a small, completely dark room — pitch black — just like people recommended, but the images were still blurry and unclear. I tried every lens that came with it, even bought the extra planet lenses, but none of them looked good. The stars just looked like a big fuzzy blob, and you could barely make out the planets. The only time the image looked somewhat clear was when I placed the projector just a few inches away from the wall or ceiling — which kind of defeats the purpose. For a product that’s supposed to fill the room with stars and planets, this was really disappointing. I honestly don’t understand how it has so many great reviews. Maybe I got a bad one, but I’ll be returning it. Definitely not something I’d recommend.

I am absolutely in love with the POCOCO Galaxy Star Projector! From the moment I turned it on, my entire room was transformed into a magical galaxy full of stars and soothing lights. The colors are vibrant, the patterns are mesmerizing, and it creates such a calming atmosphere that’s perfect for relaxing after a long day. One of my favorite features is the multiple lighting modes and brightness settings—it lets me adjust the projection depending on my mood, whether I want a soft starry night or a vivid galaxy show. The built-in speaker is also a huge bonus! I can play my favorite calming playlists or white noise directly from the projector, which makes it ideal for winding down before sleep. The design is super cute and modern, and it feels well-made. Setup was very easy, and it’s lightweight enough to move from my bedroom to the living room when I want to create a cozy vibe for movie nights. This projector is not only great for kids but also amazing for adults who enjoy a peaceful, aesthetic atmosphere. It’s perfect for bedrooms, parties, meditation, or just relaxing. I honestly didn’t expect to love it this much, but it has quickly become one of my favorite purchases. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful and functional star projector—you won’t be disappointed!

Looked at tons of products including the sega luxe, homestar pro, dark skys pocket planetarium, uncle Milton 3d star theatre, encalife ambiance and galaxy star projector, bliss lights skylights laser projector and the original star master, all of which fall in the $50-$150 range (except the homestar luxe which runs a bit higher around $200). I settled on this one based on the mid level price point without compromising on the key benefits that a planetarium offers as opposed to a star projector. This projector is bright, has a great range of focus, is easy to stabilize, insert and remove discs, clean the lens and discs and not smudge them upon insertion, can be charged and removed for use without the cord making for a great portable or outdoor projection option when at places outside of just home, is aesthetically appealing in the pink and blue ombré, can use a number of disc brands including the plethora available for the orzorz star projector (note - la view discs are not compatible with this product, however). This was a key reason I went with this option as it provides for a plethora of additional disc options to choose from on the market that isn’t isolated to this manufacturer alone. I am very pleased after the first use of this product and it isn’t even all the way dark in our room yet. My two year old was oooing and awing and this was her first stargazing experience ever! From a planetarium! Cant speak to the longevity of the bulb or part components, however, with a price point that sits ~100 dollars below the comparable products available on the market today, the trade off around the product long term durability will not affect my perception of this product. It should be noted the product and materials do not in any way come with hints of cheaply made Chinese plastic junk or suggest poor craftsmanship or use of lowest cost to produce type of materials and color dyes - which I am extremely pleased about. The packaging is secure and quality is clear, with clear instructions that do not bear huge gaps in the user guide or have Inklings of poor translation to the English language which has often been a telltale sign of the products that typically do not deliver or meet the expectations advertised. Hope this review helps! My 2 yr old daughter and I will get equal enjoyment and relaxation from this planetarium projector - if you’re considering one that is a scientifically accurate depiction of the images projected as opposed to just a star projector that displays inconspicuous arrangements of twinkling lights - you wont be disappointed. There are plenty of disc options featuring the universe, Star formations, galaxies, black holes, all sorts of nebulas, the planets, the moon, moon phases and etc.

A very nicely designed and fun star/planet projector. It's quiet, has a battery to run independent of the plug, and is very easy to set up and use. Relaxing to watch the star slides. It comes with two slides and there are several other sets available. I did think the prices of these was a little high, considering the projector itself on a Black Friday sale price was not a lot more. I did buy one additional set of slides, but have not yet tried the planet/moon sets.

I bought this projector for my son, who never really liked going to bed. But since we got this lamp, bedtime is so much easier! Now he goes to bed without any fuss, turns on the projector and falls asleep while watching the starry sky. The projector comes with two discs, one shows white stars all over the ceiling and the other creates a colorful galaxy effect. Both look amazing, like mini planetarium! It’s quiet, easy to use and the light is soft, perfect for a kid’s room. I also love that it has a timer and can be recharged, so there are no extra cords around. This little lamp really changed our bedtime routine. Highly recommend to all moms!

I really like the ombré color from light pink to a light indigo of the galaxy projector. It was a nice surprise, although highly expected for the price, that it came with 2 discs: one Westerlund as a “gift” and the Diamond stars, which I find a lot nicer. While the Westerlund is more colorful, I found it to be blurry and not nearly as defined as the Diamond Stars one. It doesn’t cover a very large area, but that all depends on where you have it. The further away from the ceiling it is, the more coverage you get, although it does get blurrier. I’d say this is best for small rooms maybe, unless you don’t care about having your whole ceiling covered. It is rechargeable, so it doesn’t need to be plugged in for use, which makes it easy to move from room to room since I know my kids are going to be fighting over it! It does come with a USB charging cord though. My son really likes astronaut and space things, so this will definitely add a nice touch to his room. You could definitely get lost in thought by just staring at it. It’s very peaceful. I tried it in the daytime and it was nice to see that it was still decently bright enough, so in the dark, of course, it’ll look a lot better and clearer. I like that it has a timer setting so it’s not running once you fall asleep, and you can also use it in still mode or have it slowly rotate the image. It is also very simple to change the discs, and they each come with a case to keep them safe. I would love to get more discs and see what wonders we’ll witness, but they run for like $45-50 if I’m not mistaken, however they do come with 6 different scenes. It definitely is a neat little machine, but I had to give it the 3 stars because for $100+ is a bit much for what it is, plus having to spend half as much in getting new discs…it adds up. However, if you can spare the change then I’m sure you’ll be happy with it.

I purchased the unit (includes two images) and 3 additional boxes of discs (both constellation sets and the planets). The projected images lack the color, depth and detail of what’s advertised; essentially watercolor rendering rather than a digital photograph. It’s a slide projector; and if it was more accurately marketed and priced as a children’s nightlight, it would still have a problem in that insertion and removal of the slides requires a delicate touch. Both the tray and focus wheel are light plastic with dubious durability. This should be a $30 unit with $10 supplemental slide packages, although portable laser devices with more modes and music-sync are in that price range. For $230 I’d recommend 2 beam splitters and a fog machine.

Starting with the good part! It’s great! The image can be adjusted if it’s too blurry, simple process. The projector itself is adjustable too. So you can angle it to point straight up or at other angles, I don’t think it bends below 45 degrees though. Regardless the detail is perfect. It can be used as a decent night light, depending on which disks you bought. Also the light intensity is absolutely perfect! I’m definitely buying more discs too. And the general aesthetic and look, especially while gardening, is immaculate. 8/10 for sure! Now for the “bad”. It’s in quotations because it’s not actually anything bad. It has an adjustable magnifier, which is a plus but it can be moved a little too easily. There’s no micro slots or friction. Because of that, finding the precise position when adjusting the image is a tiny bit annoying (I don’t have surgeon steady hands) If you have a high ceiling with no tall or high up desk/counter, or shelves, this purchase isn’t really for you! Although the resolution is great the magnifying glass or whatever they use to project and expand the small image isn’t all that powerful. If you have a lower or even just above average ceiling then you’ll be fine! I found finding the perfect spot to place and point the projector difficult, not hard just difficult. If it’s up against a wall the ends of the image becomes distorted or blurry. Having it in the middle of my room fixed that problem right up but now it just sits awkwardly in the middle of my room on the floor lol until I buy a desk or nightstand. Not so much bad, more so inconvenient and tacky looking. This part isn’t bad at all, just depends on how you use it, but the battery life isn’t very long. I use to use it as an all night type of aesthetic but it dies after like 2 or 3 uses. Not bad but you’ll find yourself plugging it in a lot if you use it like that. So Instead I just have it on with the convenient 15, 30, or 60 minute timer which solves that problem. The price of the other discs. $50 for a bunch of tiny discs is slightly offensive. Strictly because of the price for size/amount. I love space, I love this product. But it’s funny that I’m procrastinating just to buy more. I want to, and am going to. But only when I’m ready to drop 50 on an item(s) I’m only gonna use for 15 maybe 30 minutes every other night lol (I have more important things to spend $50 on thanks to inflation) Going back to the magnifying of the image. Personally I wish they used something more capable. I use to have a high ceiling, obviously, but the image was always barely acceptable. And of course I didn’t have a choice in the height of my ceiling. However, now that I have a just above average height ceiling the image is way better! But it’s just not quite what it could be. Like I said before, this item needs a good angle, both itself and according to where you have it in the room to point it. Some people have a nightstand, or desk, or shelves or whatever else they could use. But if you’re like me and for some totally understandable and legitimate reason you don’t have any of those things in your room yet, maybe wait before buying. Thats literally the only thing that actually needs improvement In my strict opinion. Again, I will buy more discs, this is a great and cool product, and it’s definitely worth the buy. The “bad” parts were merely warning signs for those in similar situations. Of course I still highly recommend you this product 🖤
