In before the audio elitists come here and say their $300+ subwoofer performs much better than this. Well obviously.
However at $100 new this is still a fair value and good enough for something like pairing it with cheapo around $100 bookshelf speakers or a soundbar with sub out for use on a computer desk or a tiny bedroom and you aren't going to playing any audio at high volumes. Having a subwoofer is still better than no subwoofer at all, especially with speakers that have tiny 5" or smaller drivers.
Just be aware this sub is only rated to go as low as 36 hz max. Perhaps it is due to the slim form factor since I've seen even budget 8" subs be able to hit around 30hz and other budget 10" subs hit 25hz.

The large majority of music doesn't go below 40Hz, so 36Hz would be ok. Movies are where you'd want something that can extend to 20-30Hz, or even lower if you want the "felt" sort of bass effects.

No. it doesn't just completely stop playing anything under 36hz. 36hz is whats called the 3db down point. Depending on severity of the dropoff, like if it was 3db per octave, it would be just another minus 3db at 1 octave below 36hz which would be 18hz, (ie: if it was playing 118db at 36hz, it would play 115db at 18hz) so it could still easily extend below 36hz, just not as loud. I'm not how much useful volume you could realistically expect out of a 10" at below 36hz, especially in an open room, where you get no loading cabin gain like you would in a car anyways. But anyways, the point is the 36hz cutoff point is where the level starts to drop, not where its nonexistent.
