Good but...

I set this up originally in a home where it was the only Sonos product. Easy to set up. Loved it. Then I brought it to another home where there are already Sonos products and haven't gotten it to behave properly. It doesn't want to play well with others. Alexa won't work at all (responds to my voice but doesn't do anything) so I've gone back to my phone to control it -- not ideal when my hands are covered in paint and I'm using it in my art studio. I seem to be able to use the existing speakers or the Move but, if I try both, they're not in sync. It's probably just me...but shouldn't it be easy? I'm not the most tech savvy but I'm no luddite either. I know if I contact Sonos, they'll straighten me out but I'm heading back to the other house in a couple of days so I'm just dealing with it for now.
Pros: Expandable, Free Control Options, Streams All My Music, and More, Wireless
I have a Sonos system inside my house, but was looking for a moveable speaker for my patio. Living in Southern California, I'm outside all the time and hadn't found the perfect speaker solution. I was a bit hesitant when first seeing ads for the Move because of price and size. However, I am so glad I ordered it. Its superior sound, easy charging, sturdiness, weather resistance, quality materials and ultimate flexibility all adds up to an amazing product.
Pros: Easy to Set Up, Streams All My Music, and More, Superior Sound, Wireless
Love all our Sonos gear, only complaint is the system gets confused by the fact we're controlling it from my MacPro as one interface and also using two Android phones. Each device has trouble recognizing when one of the other devices changes something (regroups rooms, etc.)
Pros: Different Music, Different Rooms, Easy to Set Up, Expandable, Portability, Streams All My Music, and More, Superior Sound, Wireless
We bought this for use outside at our pool and outdoor kitchen and it performs as advertised. Easy to setup, portable and has great sound for a small speaker. Highly recommend Move for anyone's outdoor speaker needs. Plus it had Bluetooth so you can stream your own music too.

It sounds great. I use it as a high-fi substitute for my Amazon Echo Dot. The online manual needs redesign. Poor diagrams and limited labeling leave too much for the customer to figure out. It needs to be emphasized that the speaker must be inserted in the charger only one way - so the contacts are aligned. The interactions among the various buttons on the back, the microphone touch control and Alexa should be covered.

I needed more information about how to set up and use the Move. When I tried to get Help, both via internet and then phone, I found the technician strangely unable to comprehend what I was trying to say. I was able to get everything going by using Google. My problem is that 1) strangely, I received an error message after entering the password to my WiFi when in fact the Move had connected, so that I thought I had to reenter the password but could not figure out how to do so, and 2) I frankly did not understand how to use my iPhone to control the unit, so that the Move did not appear to be working.
