Vizio 5.1.2 surround sound
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall the system is very good for movies anf gaming
I would recommend this to a friendOK Product but poor customer experience
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Showed up with a non-working surround speaker. Spent over an hour on a call with support stepping through the same troubleshooting steps over and over even though it was clearly a bad speaker. They were unable to send me a replacement surround speaker and require you to pack up the whole system and send it back. My interactions with support tainted my entire experience with Vizio and overshadowed a soundbar that seems to have good imaging and power although obviously I can't comment on the surround capabilities. So while I might recommend the product, I'm not sure I would recommend Vizio.

I would recommend this to a friend- Cons mentioned:Connectivity
Works great...if and when it works.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I would give it 5 stars if it worked all the time... BUT keeps disconnecting itself and cant reconnect until it randomly decides to work. Usually works with YouTube but very rarely works with hbomax, hulu or netflix. Very irritating and not worth the money

Posted .Hello MichelleB, there could be a few things that cause lag or apps to not respond correctly, and I would like to learn more so we can assist with troubleshooting. A great first step to troubleshooting would be to power cycle your TV. To power cycle a TV you will want to unplug the power and then hold the power button on the back of the TV for at least 5-10 seconds while unplugged.

I would recommend this to a friendFor the $$$$, I wish it was better
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very finicky, when it works it's ok, If I had to rate it I'd say 6.9/10 However, sometimes audio will be out of sync or just sound off. Which will require me to get up & power cycle by hand. I tried to update firmware but that didn't work because I think my flash drive is too large....IDK

Too many connection issues
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The system sounds great, but it’s not worth buying due to all of the connection issues we have had. Even after updating the firmware, we still have issues with keeping the connection to the TV. I would return this if I could.

Garbage. Sounds great but only lasts a year.
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sounds great, but works less than a year. Bought it on Black Friday deal in Nov 2022 and start intermittently not working about 10 months after that. Had to unplug and reset system every month or so up until now (March 2024). All of a sudden it is failing multiple times a day. Last reset lasted about 2 minutes before failure. Best Buy and/or Vizio need to make it right.

Great value!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.At about twice the price of my old system that onky had the sound bar and sub. This system has much better/clearer sound. The added rear speakers make the surround sound so much better. For what this system is, and how much it costs its been amazing!
I would recommend this to a friend Great product
