I had 8 sonos speakers throughout the house, and life was good! Then, 2 years later, I introduced this sonos Move to the family of my existing speakers, and total disaster. It's like an adopted child that none of the other children want to play nicely with. I have daily issues with speakers turning on and off, or just not playing music at all. I have had to reset the system every 7 - 10 days because three or four of the speakers will refuse to play music. Before adding this sonos Move to the group, I would have issues with the overall system about once a month. Usually it just required a simple unplug, or a wifi reset. But since adding the Move, its been a total rebellion by the other speakers. They do not like the new addition, and refuse to play nicely together.
Pros: Wireless
Cons: Constant conflicts with the other speakers, New problems throughout system
I use the Moves mostly outside. I bring them out to the backyard and enjoy the sound. They are so portable, I can take them anywhere in the house or to the cabin for the weekend. Great sound, they sound great when paired as stereo or with just one.
Pros: Easy to Set Up, Expandable, Streams All My Music, and More, Superior Sound, Wireless
Best portable speaker except the volume control indicators

I already have Sonos system in the house. I was looking for a solution for the back yard and pool side but did not want to install wires for speakers. Sonos Move is the best portable speaker and being able to pair two Sonos Move speakers for stereo sound that fills the open space is perfect. Like all other Sonos products the volume up and down indicators are marked exactly same way. Personally, I know which is up which is down based on experience but every time I have a guest they are confused even after telling them. Poor user design!

We use this for outdoor use and it sounds great. Very sturdy construction and easy to use. When fully charged, battery lasts for several hours which is helpful. I typically store this when not in use outside so it may stay in the closet for several days. What I didn't realize is that the battery will continue to drain even when fully powered off which means I have to recharge the device a few hours before I actually want to use it. The battery will drain within 2-3 days if left on standby mode and about 7-10 days if fully powered off. It's better if you leave it on the charging ring and take it with you when needed.
