What it is
Average grade from independent test sites, magazines and video reviewers, 1–10.
How we count it
Grades: Each review's own score is converted to 1–10; without one, we grade the review ourselves. Big test sites count more, short reviews half as much as full tests. A video review counts half.
Score: The average grade is 80% of the review mark; the number of reviews is the other 20% (1 review = 5, the typical number in this category = 8, the most-reviewed model = 10).
Enough data: With few reviews, the average grade is pulled toward the typical grade of this category. No reviews yet: 7.8 for now.

Third-party reviews

What customers like about WiMiUS S37

  • At 0.43 kg it is light enough to carry all day.
  • The body is 77 mm wide and 89 mm thick, so it packs easily.
  • A 0.95 m minimum throw distance suits small rooms.
  • Android OS and a dedicated app make streaming simple.
  • AirPlay support and Bluetooth 5.4 connect to a phone.
  • The lamp is rated for 30000 hours, enough for years of occasional use.

What customers don't like about WiMiUS S37

  • 300 lumens need a dark room to look good.
  • The 720p panel looks soft on a large wall.
  • Focus is manual, so you set it yourself.
  • The 5 W speaker is too small for a group.
  • One HDMI port means a console and a streaming stick need a switch.

Verdict

At 0.43 kg and 77 mm wide, the WiMiUS S37 slips into a bag and suits hotel rooms and camping trips. It is light and small, and the 0.95 m minimum throw distance means it fits into tight spaces. The trade-off is brightness: 300 lumens need a dark room, and the 720p picture softens on a large wall. Focus is set by hand, so you turn the lens yourself. The 5 W speaker is too small for much, so a Bluetooth speaker is a sensible add-on. Android OS and a dedicated app let you stream from a phone, and the lamp is rated for 30000 hours. It suits a traveller or camper who wants simple films in the dark and does not need a bright picture.
