This product has a known flaw where the subwoofer emits a rumbling "wind" noise [reddit.com] noticeable at low volumes. The issue was reported at least 5 months ago and Vizio has done nothing to fix it. All units seem to be affected including recent purchases from Costco; many people likely just don't notice it.
Note to TCL ROKU TV owners
If you experience frequent sound delays that require you to power cycle the sound bar, disconnecting the sound bar from your wifi network (keeping it offline) should fix the issue.

Not sure why the sarcasm on the speaker count... The sound bar has 3 speakers, plus the 2 surrounds = 5. The sub is the .1

I was thinking of finally joining Costco if necessary, but wasn't going to pursue Sam's Club - due to some nonsense they pulled years ago. I had a membership with them for the store in my town... A couple years ago it just closed like normal one night and never opened again. They didn't even tell the employees, they all had to find out when they were locked out the next day. When I asked for a refund on my membership, they said no, the membership was still valid at all other stores, even though the next closest was 40+ miles away. Uggh.

Vizio released a firmware update that claims to solve it but it wasn't a 100% fix for me. I still get it from time to time though it does seem to happen far less now.
The firmware update process was a pain. I was unplugging power from the sound bar which didn't work even after like 15 attempts. Unplugging the power cord at the wall instead of from the sound bar worked first try though. Keep that in mind if you pick this up!
