Good sound bar for the money
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound bar was easy to install around a half hour. The sound is so much better than the tv speakers. The remote could have been a little bigger,way too small and hard to read.

Nice sound
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sounds really good in my medium sized room. Bass is nice and I love the crystal clear sound from the bar. The cherry on top is the surround satellite speakers.

love it
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.was pretty easy to hook up. we own two of these. I think sometimes when you use the bluetooth it can be slow to pick up the signal. other than that we really enjoy them both.

Lack of display
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So I love the sound but the lack of front display makes it hard to use. Sometimes it disconnects and you can’t tell if it’s on or being used. Otherwise that,great.

Good sound, easy setup
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound system was easy to setup. I’m a big sports watcher, and, the surround sound is excellent when watching a game. Only issue I’ve had has been the sound from the sound bar not matching with what you see on tv. I’ve been playing with it for a month and I think I finally have it. I recommend looking up comments about this to find out what works for you. I bought this with the 65” VIZIO so it was a little frustrating that they didn’t sync up, but, I think it’s more an issue with my Xfinity box. Overall, a great buy for the price.

Great for a small house
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the sounds of this sound bar but after a few hours it turns itself off and you have to turn it back on. Would love to find a way to keep it on the whole time we are watching movies

Worth the price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was debating between sound bar and speakers and when I saw that this sound bar offers 5.1 channels, it was good enough reason. Setup was easy and sound quality is amazing. Since chrome cast is in built, I can use my iPhone to watch any program.

Definitely a great value
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This things sounds great at it's price. There are a few things. 1. Issues initially connecting. There is nothing wrong with it, it just took many attempts once it paired initially there was never a problem after. 2. It has an auto off /sleep feature that I can not disable so sometimes when watching more than 2 hours of tv it will randomly power off. So you have to turn it back on or turn the TV of and back on as I have it connected via the hdmi arc. If you don't turn the TV it will not properly connect to the tv. Very annoying and my only complaint really.

Great sound bar that has Chromecast built in.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound bar works with wifi and the sub is wireless. The Chromecast (Smartcast is Vizio's name but it is Google's Chromecast) is nice since my digitral life is built in Google's Garden. THe setup was a bit confusing but once I used the Google Home app it was a breeze. Love it and would purchase it again.

fali
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This sound bar sounds and feel like an expensive high end set. Voice is crisp and clear with base that is felt. The surround speakers works great giving more excitement to watching movies. System is very easy to set up.

Great bang for the buck!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you don't care about streaming/casting features, this unit is really impressive for the price. You can't expect $1000 sound out of a $200 unit, but I've heard a lot worse for lot more. However, getting the network side of this thing going can drive you mad. Spent hours with tech support, and it now works... somewhat. I use it as a zone for my home chromecast audio network. It will play for a while, then always seems to timeout/drop off after a while even though the rest of the house is still playing. I liked this so much that I bought the 3.1 channel version for the spare bedroom, and I still haven't got the network to connect to it.

Performs well, but Google Home integration is weak
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Fills our smaller home theater space with great spatial sound, but I'm disappointed in the weak and not-as-advertised Google Home integration. For starters, you cannot change the volume of your connected TV (over HDMI ARC) via the Google assistant, instead only while utilizing it's casting capabilities. It does tie into a home group well, but mine consistently disconnects from all sources, including wired sources after a few hours of usage. Overall, it's still a decent soundbar for smaller spaces.

I'm Surrounded (and it is good)
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This sound bar setup sounds really good for the price. I got it on a early black Friday sale, and it has linked fairly well with two different Toshiba TVs and 1 Samsung. It sometimes losses the link, but I blame the G-Kids for messing with things, or sitting on the remotes. It can blast you out of the room, has good bass response and separation of sound side to side and rear surround. It would be nice if it did not have so much cloth, since we live in a dusty area though.

great value
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.not the absolute loudest but still sound one can feel and enough to get the neighbors mad. when not maxed out it sounds amazing for the money. i got one for me and one for my parents for christmass and they love it.. would 100% recomend for the audio but honestly the most dissapointing thing is that some apps that are suppossed to work with the google cast do no work with this bar. for example tidal. ive reached out to both tidal and vizio and no fix yet. a huge bummber for what i though would be a hugle plus for the bar. nevertheless it is amazing.
