It was easy set up and think TV sounds ok, not great. Steaming music from phone sounds less impressive. Will use this week as a test period to decide whether to return, keep as is or buy the subwoofer and surround speakers.

We've got pretty much every Sonos product (1,3,5,move beam, playbar, arc) through our house and the Beam (3 of them) is the one I'm least fond of. They're okay for grouping for whole house music but like you said, it's just okay for tv. We recently upgraded our Playbar surround on our main tv to the new Arc and used the existing sub and 1's . As good as I thought it was before, it's that much better now. If it's your main tv, I'd just go full on Arc surround system and be done with it, if you plan on sticking with Sonos for its ease.

My pool uses popups instead of the usual roving cleaner. And it isn't working with the heavier debris blowing into the pool during overseeing of the course and wind storms. So, I bought a robot cleaner. Not here yet but hoping it cleans up the heavier stuff.

Good feedback, thanks.

I was thinking about the Arc too but aside from price, the other thing that pushed me to the Beam was availability. The Arc was out of stock a couple of places I checked (including Amazon) and being a vacation place, we aren’t here that much so was looking for “overall simple“ inclusive of procurement.

Jury still out on the Beam. We have only the Beam bar with no surround or sub. While it is the main (actually only right now) TV, we don’t plan to watch tons of TV here once the pandemic passes. We have only one more trip here planned for 2020. I might stick with it and repurpose it later to bedroom or bring home to FL for home office if we get something else.

Good plan. All of our beams are attached to bedroom TVs for tv/music but I wouldn't waste money hooking them up with sub/surround because they'll always be okay and not great.
I've got to say that the Move is so good that I've now bought 3 of them for different outdoor spaces.

I own this exact unit. Hope you got it on Amazon like I did. Was 779 not the 1100 the local store charges.

Does everything I need it to for weekly cleaning. I only have to vacuum To waste when removing phosphate fall out from Orenda. It’s too fine for either filter. I get to my vacation home Friday after work and dump it into the pool for setting 3. Three hours of cleaning witn walls and steps and go out for dinner. Pull it out after it’s done. Hose out filters and it’s ready to do next time. Be careful with the power cord. Stretch it out full length before coiling it up. The cord is very expensive and maybe 1/2 + The cost of the unit.

This is my first year with a pool. Covid purchase and it’s been a solid addition to me. The weeks it was not here sucked. 2 hours a week vacuuming and brushing and still getting so so results.

Guess you didn't appreciate my feedback...

Move is great. I own 2 Black units and ordered a white one for my kids bathroom. The humidity Has killed other speakers and Sonos said as long as its not submerged it should do fine.

I meant to hit appreciate earlier. I was interested in the Sonos owner’s feedback while I evaluate the purchase. If I decide to return it, I’ll check out the Yamaha and some others I was looking at when I pulled the trigger on the Sonos. Thanks for the suggestion.

Yup. Bought on Amazon. Still waiting for it so really happy to hear it is working well for you. Wondering why it's taking until the 17th to get here?

[jsf721]

If I recall correctly mine took over a week.

It’s a big heavy box.

Just clean the filter grids out each use and you will be well served by this unit.

Trust me. The Ulta and Sephora bags are likely in the trunk of the M2.
