Item 5274946
Model M51a-H6

Early Start Online-only: November 25, 2021
In-warehouse and online: November 26-29, 2021

Research Notes:
I know the hard copy Costco Holiday Savings Nov. 1 - Nov 29 (includes Black Friday) says this will be $219.99.
https://slickdeals.net/f/15349129-costco-holiday-savings-nov-1-nov-29-includes-black-friday

BUT the online Costco Black Friday Ad says this soundbar will be $189.99. Click the link below for proof​ https://www.costco.com/black-friday.html

Normally, the correct price is the lowest advertised price. Thus, making this soundbar $10 less than its lowest price ever.

A word of caution; I bought two of these when they were on sale earlier in the year. Within a month or so of average use, both soundbars stopped powering on. Completely dead. Had to return both. Seems this was a widespread isssue based on the posts at the time. Shame because these would have otherwise been a fantastic deal.
Big sound from this set. I bought it last week to pair up with my Sony X90CJ and it doesn't disappoint. At $190, buy, dont think.
I've had this thing for six months and it keeps dropping the connection to the tv. Did they ever fix it ?

Weird that it says atmos and dts-x in the advertisement when it's a 5.1 soundbar.

Any idea how much would be their 2.1 soundbar. Last Year it was $130 I guess.

I have the older 5.1 Vizio sound bar. It's been 2 years and it did very well

Do the rear speakers get wired in to the main sound bar? Or connect via the sub?

Connect via sub. Pretty long wires included.

It's a really fantastic sb, and I'd buy it again especially at this price. I will note however, like someone else here, I've had to return one for not powering on. Pretty hassle free return though.

There was a firmware fix you could get from Vizio website that improved it. I usually only lose sound once during long sessions of movies, once a week maybe. It's for a split second so barely noticeable for people.

YMMV but Best Buy has not price matched Costco for me in the past because it's a membership store.

It's a digital Atmos not thru actual upfiring speakers.
