Professional delivery and installation is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery and installation for you.

Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Electronics can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new electronics should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

Poor Quality

Sound Bar SN8YG 5/29/2023

Ive had the sound bar with the sub woofer for a little over a year the sub woofer just died. I contacted LG and they said its out of warranty and there is nothing they can do. They offer to forward repair company us close to me. Im not interested in items like this that dont last especially with low to moderate use. It was good until for about a year or so. Too bad the quality is not too good. I also have other LG products now Im worried about them. If the customer service was better and the quality I would have more confidence.

Disappointed Subwoofer Had To Be Repaired

jnpiii 4/18/2023

Initially very much liked the sound of this soundbar and subwoofer. I did find operating with a smart tv more difficult than it should have been. Being this was a collaboration with Meridian Electronics I expected a higher quality of product. Was disappointed that after two years with limited usage the subwoofer quit working as noted in several forums by other owners. Unfortunately for me it was no longer covered by warranty and proved to be quite costly to repair although I understand from forum members who repaired their own subwoofers that the replacement part was not terribly expensive nor hard to replace when you could find the replacement circuit card. The effort to get it to the repair facility in California proved to be more difficult than it should have been and the expense for packaging to avoid damage while shipping proved to be substantial. I was promised by LG representatives from overseas that I would be reimbursed but I feel it would take much effort on my part to recover my money and much longer on the phone trying to get someone from another country to try and understand me than I am willing to invest at this point. I like the way the system sounds when it works but find myself wondering how long it will continue to work. On a scale from 1 to 10 Id give the SN8YG Sound bar and Subwoofer a solid 9 on sound but a disappointing 2 on quality and dependability. The only positive for me was the quick turnaround from the repair facility in California back to me in about a weeks time. Good job LG repair facility

Great sound.. but subwoofer disconnects.

Elias Borregaard 3/24/2023

After a few months my subwoofer started to randomly disconnect for a few seconds and now it has completely shut off and I need to reboot the entire system before it starts working again. Is there a way to fix the subwoofer issue? I really love the design and the sound output but I cant live with it not working..

Sounds great when the subwoofer works

Klawsome 2/5/2023

No matter where I place the wireless subwoofer it randomly disconnects and you get no bass sound. Its frustrating because when it DOES work it sounds great.

Big sound

T Harmon 1/5/2023

Brought the SN8YG in early 2021 and right out of the box I was impressed. I have the bar in my movie room which is approximately 13 wide and 30 long with a 8ft ceiling. The SNY8G system easily fills the room with satisfying audio and provides a cinematic experience I dont have the rear speakers and this system sounds great without them it must be awesome with the rears added. Tragedy struck earlier in December 2022 and my sub failed. I contemplated getting another system with a more traditional setup with tower speakers a receiver etc. however I frankly did not want all that equipment in my space as well as pay an exorbitant cost to get the equipment. The SN8YG is a great system that I did not want to discard so I called LG and they assisted with a repair of my sub woofer and my system is back thumbing and rumbling again So if you want a small system with a big sound get the SN8YG you will not be disappointed

Great sound for a small / med room.

Cryan123 12/25/2022

Great sound deep base fills a small / med room with standard ceiling height. Subwoofer disconnects sometimes but comes back on a few seconds later. Offers google assistant but I did not choose to set that up.

Subwoofer Stopped Working

ErikG 7/8/2022

My subwoofer stopped working conveniently after the 12 month manufacturers warranty expired. The sub will not pair to the sound bar anymore. Not one troubleshooting measure has worked that Ive been able to find. I see there are multiple reviews referring to the same issue and wish I wouldnt have made the same mistake. Ive contacted customer service three times about getting a repair done and Ive been referred to 2 places that dont even repair LG home entertainment devices. Waste of time and money.

SNY8YG

James328 6/30/2022

Bought the sound bar and sub combo 1.5 months ago. About 2 months ago I noticed the sub would disconnect. At first I thought no big deal I would just link it back up and it would work again. It started happening more often to where I would have to unplug the sub and plug it back in before it would link. Then it would disconnect daily until it finally will not do anything. Only makes a discharge sound when the sub is unplugged. Sounds like a capacitor discharge. The sub was always plugged into a surge protector along with other electronics no problems with any other device. I contacted LG for assistance and got no help since the manufacturer warranty is only 1 year. Had to send a copy of my original receipt to be considered for a 1 time warranty repair. Was told I would be notified with a decision within 3 to 5 days. It has been weeks. I have called back once for any updates but got zero. I purchased a 65 inch LG C9 when the sound bar at the same time thinking it would be a great package. The TV has been great. However I am very upset with the sound bar and with the customer service. At first I offered to take it to a service center if LG would repair at no cost. I never write reviews but this time I feel I should and am due a new sub for my sound bar or a new sound bar system to replace the one I have that is no good at this point. I will give a little time for a response. I am leaning towards no longer purchasing any LG products after this experience a surround system should last a lot longer than 1.5 years.

Not happy

Mark7719954 6/6/2022

After a little more than a year the sub woofer stopped working. Of course the factory warranty was up and I had to send the whole unit back for repairs. LG charged me for the repair but was kind enough to send a box to ship it. Sending unit back hopefully the repair will be done quickly.

Great Sound

Allan Mag 5/31/2022

Great sound for those of discerning audiophile ears ease of set up But alas it broke a month ago. LG Electronics support is friendly and professional but the process is cumbersome and slow. We have been working on this at least a month. Still waiting for an email to print the shipping label. Despite repeated calls. I would buy the next generation anyways

Horrible sound bar horrible customer service

Bobbo379 5/11/2022

I bought this brand new from Best Buy 2020. I put in my theater and used it maybe 5 times over the years until I go to turn it on and the subwoofer does not power on. Conveniently right after the LG warranty expires. LG customer service told me there is nothing they can do but they sent me a phone number for a repair shop 2 hours away from me that didnt have a working phone number. Never buy LG sound bar. My JBL sound bar has been working for 5 years with no issues.

John9373736 5/9/2022

Sub never properly worked. Always cut in and out hundreds of reviews had this problem and no fixes. Then 15 months after cutting in and out continues the sub just disconnected and never repaired. Nothing has worked to this point. This is a rip off and it never worked properly.

Bad Sub Woofer

Bobtree 5/4/2022

I purchased this unit 15 months ago everything seem to be working fine until one day the sub woofer would not power on and quit working all together. The unit only comes with a one year warranty. LG would not fix the sub woofer out of warranty and I have had to purchase the parts to fix the unit my self.

Crisp sound and design

Jay05022022 5/3/2022

I bought LG86UN85 86 TV at 11/2020 It was so fantastic that all family love it and half a year later someone introduced me LG SN8YG sound bar we bought it without hesitation because of LGs brand. Consequently Its superb quality of sound delivered overwhelmed the family again. We pretty much enjoy its crisp sound effect at all musical circumstances plus I live its slender sound bar design and large subwoofer as well.
