Purchased refurbished. Saved a bunch. I've purchased several devices that were refurbished. Why not? If it doesn't work out you still get to return it, and once again it has worked out. Looks new, came with all the things a new one comes with, works great. This is a replacement for the Roku Soundbar Pro, which also included the surround speakers and subwoofer because the sound quality became muffled, fuzzy, and Roku support and resets were not able to fix it. This Vizio all in one eliminates all the clutter and provides a very satisfying sound in all of it's modes, each of them being adjustable to personal settings through yhe bass, treble, virtual settings. I'm not quite sure why there are complaints about the lack of visible settings. Once you start setting up the device it automatically checks for the type of connections used, mine uses both optical and ARC to allow for use of TV remote for power and volume control, and set itself up for immediate use. It has eARC, which is also ARC for older sets like mine but will automatically switch to eARC if you have a TV capable of using it. For those of you unfamiliar with the differences between the two just know that if you never had the 'e' version, you won't miss it and will be mildly surprised (maybe) when you do get the opportunity. Like I said, there were complaints of a lack of visual settings, relying strictly on the lights on the front to guide you. It does give you vocal announcement as to which mode you are switching to, but it does take a little getting used to on the other settings. Follow the directions. They do explain. And once you get the hang of them for one mode your good to go on the others, adjusting the levels of bass and treble for each. Then it just becomes a matter of choosing the mode best suited for you. The TV remote, like I said, will only control power and volume and only if your TV has ARC. Mine requires both the optical and HDMI to be connected. Some TVs don't. But it works. Yes I'd recommend this sound bar over the standard TV speaker. The virtual surround doesn't really work well without eARC, but overall the bass is booming, the treble is as it should be and the voices are clear. Hope this helps.
