Review on πŸ”Š VIZIO SB36512-F6 Dolby Atmos 5.1 Soundbar Home Speaker (Renewed): Immersive Audio Experience at an Amazing Price! by Vanessa Harrison

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great affordable soundbar - buy extra warranty if you're worried

This is a really great Atmos 5.1 soundbar for the price. Add a "renewed" discount and you'll get an even better deal. I recommend people invest in a 3-year warranty of around $30 to protect against potential mishaps. Now let's get to my review. Installation: Super easy, it only took about 20 minutes to unbox and install. Everything will be connected automatically following the "Quick Setup" instructions. I don't want to mess around with WiFi or Bluetooth, so I can't comment on that. It took me a while to download the firmware update to a USB drive and update the firmware as someone here suggested and I think it might solve some people's problems. It's pretty easy, and the Vizio support site will teach you how in another 30 minutes. Sound Quality: As others have stated for the price you won't find anything that compares, the rear speakers + subwoofer work very well. and can easily change the balance on the remote control. ATMOS is basically a gimmick if you're not going to be using HDMI ARC in/out, so I set up my Xbox One to try it. It's cool, but nothing stunning. Things could get even better in the future as streaming services start integrating ATMOS into more content. For comparison I have an LG SKY ATMOS soundbar which was very expensive and I would say it goes toe-to-toe with the rear speakers or maybe outperforms them. I've posted some pictures with a water bottle next to it to give you an idea of the size of the rear speakers. End of the statement, get this soundbar, you won't regret it. It feels like Vizio has good support and directly solves the problems people are having. If you're still concerned, take advantage of this extra guarantee. Hope this helped!
