I liked this product because it is light weight for my arthritic hands. Easy to handle and use. Love the screen size and I highly recommend this product.

Complete scam! Do not buy used or refurbished items from Bestbuy. My "refurbished" Ipad froze on initial set-up. They partner with a 3rd party, Jemjem which i was directed to send the unit to. Now i'm out an i pad and my money.

Purchased 8/18 and it’s dead wont take or hold a charge. Battery was always weak, but now done for good. I bought this as a replacement for an ipad my 4 year old broke. She uses it to olay games and watch videos. The battery dies every 10 minutes even if it’s plugged in during use. It will say 100% battery full and drop down to 13% then turnoff and you cant turn it back on now matter how long you charge it. Save your money

Not only does this used iPad cut off periodically, I was never told that I couldn’t get a protection plan on it until I tried to (after the iPad was received). I would’ve returned it if my son didn’t wait so long for it to come! So upsetting.

The iPad air 2 is not worth the money in 2024, it has only 2 gigabytes of ram, an outdated processer, and no longer recieves the lates iPadOS updates. You’re better off buying a 2019 or newer tablet.

I was truthfully worried about getting a refurbished iPad but I’m really glad I did! It works great and is easy to understand how to use it! I’m daughter loves it and it was affordable!
