Sonos is a great investment in home audio

We have a covered patio and deck that we spend quite a bit of time on. Bringing the MOVE outside is so easy, and we can continue to stream music we're listening to in the house seamlessly. Grouping all the speakers so we can listen to music as we move throughout the home is a great feature. These speakers are exceptional!
Pros: Easy to Set Up, Expandable, Streams All My Music, and More, Superior Sound, Wireless
I purchased this speaker to take with me on vacations. The sound is great and it does not have any issues with connections. This is very frustrating to have this happen in the first week of a multi-month trip, leaving me to buy another speaker to use and then incur additional charges at the airport for luggage. The problem seems that once this speaker drains all the way down to 0%, there is no way to charge it up without the dock. Now, I know what you are going to say: "Not enough watts/amps on your cable/charger bro", "Faulty USB-C cable". But no, neither. I work from remote locations for months at a time and bring 3-100w USB-C cables with me as well as 2 - 100w and a 90w GaN power charger. I tried them all. None worked. I took the same cable that charged my 16' Macbook Pro and left it plugged in all night multiple times. This speaker just blinks red for a couple of seconds then stays solid red... then NOTHING. Upon returning home this time, I set the speaker on it's charging dock and a couple minutes later, it came back to life. I then verified that the most recent firmware is installed. After that, I unplug it from the dock and using the same USB-C cables and power brick as before, I see that it is charging fine in the app. It seems that this issue ONLY occurs if you let the battery drain down to 0%. I have 3 Sonos speakers, 3 Bose speakers (all portable), and 5 Apple Home Pods in total. It's a hard one because I really like the sound vs portability of this Sonos speaker but I can not recommend this brand at all as they are the only ones that have given me problems on multiple occasions.
I use the Move in the Backyard., It sounds great outside and when I group it with the Sonos One on the patio it really shines with whole backyard audio. I can't wait to take it camping or to the lake.

Ok so it's a lot of money for a portable speaker but boy is the quality great I've been bragging about it to everyone and can't wait to show my son Achilles when I see him next!
