Summary: For a Much Better Projector Buy a Kodak Ektagraphic III Model for About the Same Price
Comment: Buying this machine is a mistake. There are several Kodak Ektagraphic III Models for sale here on Amazon. Unlike this Vivitar the Ektagraphic models are professional quality that were built with metal gears which do not get brittle over the years. The gears in this projector are plastic and will eventually get brittle and fail even if the projector is not used, just like the plastic gears in the Kodak Carousel models). The Kodak Ektagraphic III model I would recommend was the best selling pro model Kodak sold by far:
Ektagraphic III AMT Slide Projector - without Lens, 1475565,
You can read my "Mini Buyers Guide" for the Kodak slide projectors in the reviews in the AMT listing (it details the Kodak slide projector models, features, advantages, etc).
In short, unless you have a whole lot of Vivitar slide trays and do not want to convert them to Kodak) there is no reason to buy this slide projector when a comparable Kodak Ektagraphic III machine can be had at the same price. This machine is lower quality, auto focus only works sometimes, the image it projects is not as bright or sharp, it is much less dependable, etc.

Summary: slide projector
Comment: A projector I got luckily. To view my slides I was unable to find it in the market. Also, once again the price is the most important aspect of this purchase. About 1/7 of its price!! I highly recommend any purchase through Amazon.com

Summary: Aileens Opinion
Comment: I think this is very good product for the money was a little disappointed when my trays didn't fit - however - it was only two trays and the rest all fit so check the trays sizes /types and it will be a great product for you
Love the auto focus - also sticks occasionaly but slides are all old so the happens -with all projectors I think

Summary: NON[FUNCTIONING ON ARRIVAL
Comment: THE VIVITAR 5000 ARRIVED WITH THE INNER, MANUFACTURERS BOX, UNPROTECTED
FROM THE OUTER SHIPPING CARTON. BOTH CARTONS WERE INTACT; HOWEVER, I
ASSUME IT WAS DROPPED VERY HARD FROM A CONSIDERABLE HIGHT...THREE OF
THE FOUR LENS IN THE PROJECTOR WERE KNOCKED OUT OF THEIR BRACKETS AND
LOOSE IN THE VIVITAR ASSEMBLY RENDERING THE PROJECTOR COMPLETELY
INOPERATIVE. CONTACTING THE SHIPPER BROUGHT IMMEDIATE STATEMENT THAT IT
WOULD BE PICKED UP AT MY HOME ASAP BY UPS FOR RETURN AND THE SENDING OF
A NEW UNIT. I HOPE THEY PACK IT MORE CAREFULLY. THE CONTACT PERSON
SAID IT WAS CAREFULLY PACKED. I'M SURE IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE BUT
IN REALITY IT WAS NOT!
I HAVE HEARD THAT BOTH FEDEX AND UPS IN THEIR CONVEYOR BELT SORTING
HAVE TRANSITIONS WITH DROPS OF 2 FEET OR MORE IN THE PROCESS. THIS REPORT
IS SECOND HAND BUT ONE COMPANY [MAKING HIGH FREQUENCY AMATEUR BAND
LINEAR AMPLIFIERS] SAID 40% OF THEIR SHIPPING OF AMPLIFIERS WERE
ARRIVING SEVERELY DAMAGED THAT THEY HAVE RESORTED TO PUTTING THEIR
AMPLIFIER CARTONS ON PALLETS FOR MORE GENTLE HANDLING BY THE FREIGHT
COMPANYS.

Summary: Not Worth It At All
Comment: Vivitar 5000 AF Slide Projector First of all the autofocus button didn't even exist on the attached remote. The clarity of slides when projected was poor. The arm on the slide projector kept jamming. I'm sending it back now.
