Bought this last year from Costco at this price. It solved the problem of having my wonderful speakers disappear and making my wife happy. It's not like having my old home theater setup, but it makes watching tv tolerable again over built in speakers.

My problem with it is that every few weeks for no reason the hdmi connection from my Samsung tv randomly stops sending audio to the sound bar and it's a stupid process to reset audio settings on the tv and my Roku to make sound come out of the sound bar again. Literally nothing changes and it randomly takes a dump. In fact, happened last night when it was working 2 hours before. For $300 from Costco it's worth it but on man when it craps out it's annoying.
BOUGHT!!! Damn... wife is gonna kill me...
way too many problems reported for this model.

A Dolby Atmos soundbar with 4 upfiring speakers is back at $300 since last summer. (Usually $500. $200 off)

I ordered in last June at same price from Costco and contrary to the problems reported by some users, I never faced any connection issues. Sometimes, it wakes up slow to turn on the TV via HDMI-CEC but otherwise the sound is really amazing.

Edit: My soundbar is connected to Nvidia Shield Pro and Vizio TV, if that can somehow explain why I haven't experienced any connection issues.

Picked this up last year. Like almost all Vizio's products. Excellent hardware and speakers for the price. Complete garbage SW. I need to re-login the app every time I fire it up. Constantly lose connection to TV. Constantly needed to reboot the speakers. There's just not enough savings in the world for me to deal with all these problems weekly.

Yes, but subwoofer is wireless and the satellite speakers plug into subwoofer. You don't need to charge your wireless speakers (like in some models) & you won't have wires running around.

What do you think about this compared to the M51a-H6. Rtings rates the M51a-h6 better than the 46 inch version of this bar.

The 46 version scores 7.8 in all categories, while the M51a-H6 scores much higher.

That's a shame. I'm surprised costco is selling these things since you can return them at any point.

As someone else mentioned, this is not truly wireless, the rear speakers are wired which is dumb
Good luck finding a system that is totally wireless for this price
