    This is an outstanding Vizio Sound system. I love the lack of so many cord and wires. Easy to setup and allows for me to move my furniture around when I like with minimal cord and speaker wires to tuck. SOUNDS AWESOME and give a REAL MOVIE THEATER SOUND throughout the living room. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!

    This is without question the best sound bar for the price. We wanted a small soundbar for an extra den and didn't need all the bells and whistles for our main media room. After testing multiple bars, this LG has the power and clarity of much more expensive items from premium brands. Highly recommended!

    The sound bar is great but there is an ongoing issue that ViZio is unable to resolve right now. The subwoofer and surround speakers no longer pair with the sound bar. Mine was functional just short of 1.5 years. If you’re still in the warrenty period, vizio will replace it. If not, then hopefully you got the geek squad warranty.

    I've been using sound bars for a while now and this is by far the best sound I've ever gotten out of a small soundbar system. The rear speakers are a welcome addition to the bar and the subwoofer shakes the house. Definitely, a great purchase if the price is right.

    The sub is amazing and super compact; the surround speakers are small, yet emit big sound; the 45" bar is crystal clear with a range of highs and mids. Combined, these pieces create an immersive soundfiend in even a large living room. Highly recommended at $300

    I bought this because I recently purchased a Vizio Tv and thought this would be a good match. I have been very impressed with the sound quality of this product. The movies and sports shows really come alive while listening to this sound bar option. Very Impressed.

    We had a smaller soundbar without the extra small subwoofers and moved it to another room. We wanted more of a true surround sound with the new tv. This set is very good. Sounds like riding in a tank or car make you actually feel like you are in it.

    This does a very good job of providing surround sound for TV for the money. Don't expect it to replace a stereo system for your music listening.

    love the sound and not having to run wires from the front of the room to the back. easy to set up using the app instead of the remote. and using the HDMI(ARC) is great because the TV remote controls it and turns it on and off.

    I purchased this unit because I wasn't happy with the sound produced by the TV. I was thrilled with the quality of sound this bar produced. It is crisp and clear...no more muffled sound. The subwoofer and surround sound work perfectly.

    I have had 2 previous sound bars . One was less expensive and one was significantly more. Neither had the sound quality or features of the SB4551. It fills a large room whether playing the TV or music via Bluetooth.
