Last year, ~Feb 2025, this Best Buy sold me a TCL TV. The salesman said it was a solid TV and met my needs. 14 months later (after manufacturer warranty expired) the TV stops working completely. The display never turned on after several forms of troubleshooting.
I’m not leaving a 1 star review because of a product defect. I’m leaving a 1 star review because when I went to recycle the TV at the store, they tried to charge me 30 dollars. They tried to charge me money to help dispose a LEMON of a TV. Maybe don’t sell/vouch for unreliable products like this TCL SKU (it’s apparently a known issue for many TCLs) and then try to charge me to get rid of the lemon you convinced me to buy. The associate I talked to did not show any compassion nor pleasantries..which was humorously different than the attitude of the salesman who sold me the TV in the first place.

Helpful staff. In and out!
If youre looking for a laptop, phone, tablet, ask for Hafeez to help you. He is so kind, patient, and such a knowledgeable person, probably the best experience I've had with anyone helping me purchase an electronic device. I was between 3 different laptops (2 hps and a mac) and he ultimately helped me choose the best bang for my buck while also considering my needs/wants for specs.
