Just got back from my local Costco and purchased one. It appears it was marked down today. Picture posted to the Community Wiki.
The Puyallup, WA store had about 15 units left after I purchased mine.

I will never purchase another Orbi product and I can't recommend them for any price. I have a support ticket open with them that's been going for months with no resolution. The mesh system we have has constant drops and has to be reset every couple of days because all devices stop getting a signal.
I had the same system and the constant disconnects and satellites randomly restarting were it fun. I went with another brand and couldn't be happier.
I've owned Orbi products, and had problems with them from day one. To make matters worse, they only had 90 day support....though that may have changed. And, while this is purely subjective, I think they're the ugliest home electronic devices on the market.
I now have TP-Link Deco mesh products...been fantastic since install which was a breeze. Not one hard or soft reset in over two years.

Same here, I'm on my 2nd Orbi system, bought on BF for a good price % cut but it's a POS. Just like you mentioned, I have to reset the system sometimes and it's giving me a lot of trouble. The Satellite if it's connected by ethernet makes something of a backhaul network or something and internet stops working alltogether until I remove the cable.
The managing interface has a certificate error and cannot be bypassed on chrome by default anymore, I resort to opening Safari just for that. Lots of other quirks to be honest that make this more of a hassle than it's worth!
Seriously, please consider Unifi system from Ubiquiti Networks and you will not be disappointed. Yes, it's a bit more expensive but stable and has a lot more features. Their new Gateway Ultra makes the system easy to setup.
I can't comment on the current models, but I bought the original orbi system with 1 satellite back in 2016, and it's been pretty reliable for the whole time I've owned it.
I do have it hardwired, if that makes any difference, but I've been very satisfied with it.
With the negative comments here, I'll probably just avoid the risk and wait until my current system stops working or becomes to slow for my future needs before replacing it.

A wired mesh backhaul covers up a majority of the issues users will face with mesh networks. So you can probably switch systems and get the same reliability (assuming your ethernet is at least CAT5e).
But, the fact of the matter is, not every home needs or lends itself to a mesh setup to begin with.
Unless you're dealing with 3000+ sqft or multiple levels, it might not be doing you any favors versus just having a single centralized high performance router.
The one that always gets me are the people who walk around their house "testing" their mesh network for coverage, only to spend a majority of their time on the couch.
Not to mention, in many systems, that extra coverage is a tradeoff for extra bandwidth.

Wondering if it was an online purchase and returned to a store still sealed, so they just put it on the shelf.
