Purchased this a month ago for $149 and now it's down to $99. I'm very happy with it and got a second.

9100S is much louder, btw. In the same room, I have them set to +3 and they are twice as loud as 8500S on +6. With that said, if you're planning on keeping surrounds at further than 10ft away from listening area, both of them are weak.
It's surprising that this bar lacks AUX so there's no way to hook up your smart speaker to it.
You have a very specific use case- your parents wants to use it. I am assuming they care more about the bar vs. the sub. The only positive in this setup is the sub. Soundbar on its own is definitely not a step up(as much as your expect) from the TV speakers (unless they are poor). Another thing that I noticed, again take it with grain of salt. I felt sound of the bar(excluding the sub) was better on Prime Video vs. Netflix.
edit to add: the best thing about this whole setup was/is the connectivity. It was breeze and I have faced no issue what so ever. Used Arc for tv(works like a charm), Bluetooth via Alexa and phone.
For some this may be fine. It does have a little boom. It's just doesn't help my needs as I can't hear the words. You turn up the volume so you can hear the words and then music or sound effects blow you away.
I will likely return this and spend a little more for something with a better center channel.

Also, soundbar manufacturers that keep models around (instead of announcing new replacement models every 12-18 months) seem to be more predictable. Problems and dissatisfaction with outgoing models just get buried.
Of course, everyone should be sure that the quality issues aren't related to their original source media or cables.

The guy saying that this isn't much better than his Tcl roku tv is in dream land, it's miles better then Tcl 6 series speakers
I have Sonos arc on my more recent 2020 and 2021 Sony tv.
