Pros:
The looks: the Soundbar looks fantastic and sleek. The subwoofer is wireless, which helps with the aesthetic aspect. The surround speakers also look great, specially when installed on the wall.
Audio: obviously the audio is the main thing, i'm not a audiophile but I am totally satisfied with the product, it works exactly as I expected when I bought it. The subwoofer is powerful, the Soundbar has clean fantastic sound, even when I turn it down I don't miss anything. The surround speakers really do the job, it does a great job for immersion, for both movies and games.
Note: The audio is very dependent on the source, if the source of the audio is not surround, 5.1, dolby atmos etc, don't expect this to work wonders.
Note#2: I did some research and everywhere I looked they recommended using HDMI ARC/EARC to get the best out of this soundbar. Smart TVs Samsung/LG and many others have ARC/EARC, which has the most bandwidth so look for the HDMI ports on your TV, you should really use this connection.
Physical setup: this is really quite easy, everything you need is in the box, a small book detailing all the physical setup comes in the box. You only need the screwdrivers, if you plan on wall mounting anything, you will need the wall anchors and screws that fit to your wall. But the wall mounting supports are included for the soundbar and the small surround speakers.
Accesories: as I said (almost)everything your need is in the box. I especially appreciate that they include a high bandwidth HDMI cable that works with ARC/EARC with zero problems.
Cons:
Upward firing speakers: these speakers don't really do the job, they work by "bouncing" the sound to your ceiling, which depending on the material might actually absorb the sound. They totally rely on the content being played, not much content will have any use for these speakers so I wouldn't expect much sound really that comes from above.
Audio setup: this is apart from the physical setup, this is the configuration that you have to do on your TV and soundbar to get them to work. This is not plug and play, you have to go through all the options on both the sound bar and your TV.
A manual comes in the box, but it is really really unclear, as to all the setup options. A QR code comes that should send you to a web page that explains everything, said web page is nothing of the sort, it links to the product page that lists the product features, basically the same as the amazon product page.
As I said before I'm not an audiophile, and this was the first soundbar I have ever purchased, so it took a couple(5) of youtube tutorials to get this working like I needed it to. Even after the youtube tutorials, the final piece of the puzzle had to come from Vizio's own support, my rear surround speakers were not working as expected, I went into a chat with support and they did pinpoint my issue in about 3-4 questions, I had to choose a 2 specific options on my TV to get them working.
I will give recognition to Vizio chat support, or at least my agent, they really knew what to ask to get straight to the issue.
I'm giving 5 stars because evertything works just like I expected, the immersion is fantastic, and I have even got a few praises for this setup.

Review of the Vizio Elevate Soundbar by a Movie Enthusiast

Reviews with images
I'd buy it again in a heartbeat
Before I purchased this, I read some negative reviews that made me hesitate. Thankfully I took a chance.When I picked this up I also grabbed the Samsung HW-Q750C along with the Visio M-series 5.1.2. The Elevate blew them both away.For starts, the bass is phenomenal. You can feel the punch when watching films or listening to music. But what's most impressive is the directional sound when Atmos is available. It's better than my local theaters, honestly.Some of the negative reviews mentioned sound cutting out, especially when in Dolby Atmos mode. That's a fair observation, but it's fixable. Out of the box the firmware is an older version. Simply connect to the internet and using the app, update the firmware. Problem solved. I've had this soundbar for three months and haven't lost connection once after performing the update.If you want an amazing home theater experience without spending thousands of dollars this is the ticket. It's more expensive than the low end units, but it out performs higher end competitors (specifically Samsung). Worth your time if you're in the market.
