Review on 🔊 Renewed VIZIO SB3651-F6 36-inch Black 5.1 Home Theater Sound Bar System by Michael Heidelberg

Good product that connects to a TV but not as good as a standalone speaker system. Before purchasing, it was difficult to understand which system to buy and compare features for specific use cases. There was very little casting information from Spotify. I tested Bluetooth and WiFi on Google Home, Chromecast via Spotify. I'm tech savvy. First I set it up as a standalone for testing. Set up Bluetooth, which works well but isn't ideal if you're leaving the room with your phone or want to use your phone for two audio purposes at the same time. Wi-Fi and broadcast. Not good at all. It was very tiring to start with and it was just painful for me to cast and connect. I use Spotify a lot. It just never connected reliably. An installed app on your phone, One Plus Android, updated soundbar firmware, etc. There are several ways to set up Google Home. None of them were reliable. Worst of all, the speaker is in Eco mode by default, which drove me crazy. Do not use, you have to manually enter the soundbar and turn off the device every time. At the end there is a star for Spotify and casting. You can make it work, but it's tricky, it never worked automatically. There must be times when the music only came from the soundbar and not from the subwoofer or the two rear speakers! Otherwise it sounds good for the money.
