Customer Ratings & Reviews

Whenever possible I buy from Best Buy. Other than around the Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales they do price matching (read their guidelines). I have always been happy with buying their Geek Squad Protection* and gotten quick response and replacement or refund depending on the issue with the item. * Samsung washer and dryer in FULL VIEW of kitchen/dining area has 2 different door styles AND 2 different glass colors because Samsung discontinued them for the dryer. Looks awful. This is out of their control I guess, but Geek Squad wouldn't replace the other door because it wasn't broken and I explained where they are located in full view. As a result, I won't buy Samsung washer & dryer pairs ever again from any retailer.

Hello, I have been using this laptop for 3 years now and I am very glad that my choice fell on Asuss. The laptop is suitable for both gaming and work, I recommend everyone to choose the Asuss company, they know what is needed for laptop lovers

My daughter bought a new laptop for college. She debated about paying extra for the Geek Squad policy, and in the end she decided the extra cost was worth it. Her new laptop is a 2-in-1 that converts from a laptop to a tablet. She was playing with this flip feature after taking it out of the box and dropped the device on the ground, screen first. Within 30 minutes of bringing it home, she shattered the screen. She took it back to Best Buy and they sent it in for service. The screen was repaired and she has her laptop back. There are times when the Accidental insurance policy doesn't seem worth the expense, but my daughter is hoping to keep this laptop for her entire college career. In the end, this policy has paid for itself.

The geek squad handled every problem I ran into with a previous laptop and when it was clear it was time to get a new one, they offered advice on the perfect one for me. I would highly recommend getting this for any device.

We bought this for protection. Hopefully we won’t ever need it, but I’m thankful we have it. I feel like it’s a great probe for coverage.

I always get this when I buy big items. I haven't had to use it a lot, but I have been thankful when I did.

Anything can happen at anytime. Always good to have added protection.

I love the Geek Squad there a great bunch. They have great specialty in all your electronics problem, no matter how big or small

I always get the geek squad protection because it comes in handy with kids in the house. my last lenovo yoga my kids dropped and i just took it to the fine people at Best Buy and they weren’t able to repair it but they replaced it with no issues

I am writing this review because I believe that the protection plan isn't worth the money. I purchased 3 protection plans for the children at the beginning of the school year because of virtual learning. All three computer glitch here and there and have to be shut off because the touchpad stops working and it disappears in the settings. Because I am a busy mother, I just had my children restart their computers every time the touchpad stopped working. However, one of my twins accidentally cracked the screen on his computer so I brought it to the geek squad to get it repaired. I also told them about the touchpad issue. I dropped the computer off on 12.11.20. I was informed that the approximate return date would be 12.28.20. On 12.16.20 I received a message stating that they had received my device. On the 28th, I still hadn't heard anything else from geek squad. I realized that it was the holidays so I was patient. I think I called them on the 30th to follow up. I was on hold for over an hour and I never got to speak with anyone from geek squad. One of the store representatives and informed me that the 28th is only an approximate date which I understand, but communication and updates would have been nice. Keep in mind, My kids have virtual school and need their computers. I didn't hear anything else from geek squad until 1.5.21 stating that the device was assigned to an agent. On that same day, I received an email stating that they were assessing my repair and may need to replace the device. On 1.12.21, I still hadn't heard anything from geek squad. Instead of calling the store this time, I call customer service. I was able to speak with someone and they informed me the computer was approved for a junk code or approval code to get a new computer. He stated that I would need to take the code to the store and ask them to replace the computer. He stated that if they did not have the same computer, they would upgrade it to the next best version. I asked him where could I find the approval code because I never received it so he gave me the approval code. I went to the store on the same day, 1.12.21, and asked about replacing the computer. The representative at the desk stated that they would just give me a refund for the computer and I would need to go and find the computer. He also informed me that I would need to purchase another protection plan. I couldn't understand why I would need to purchase another protection plan. My son had a minor crack on his computer and I know that the crack could have been repaired; however, I believe that the hardware was messed up on the computer from the touchpad and that's what could not be fixed. I find it hard to believe that a screen with a minor crack could not be fixed. Needless to say, I had to walk to the back and try to find his computer, the same make and model. No one was available to walk me back to make sure that I was getting the same computer. When I arrived in the computer section, the representative, Erik, was somewhat available to assist me. He wasn't really present and involved with my concern or issue. I found the computer, but it was more than the amount that they approved me for. They stated that they did not sell my son's computer again. Although the computer was the same model, make and it had the same specs. They stated that I would have to pay the difference and pay for another protection plan. I was not happy at this point. Erik stated that he would get a manager to see if they could override the difference. Davion, the geek squad manager approached the counter and I spoke to him first. I explained the issue and he stated that he doesn't know why the customer service agent would tell me that they would upgrade the computer if they did not have the original version. He was very rude and not helpful. He looks at me and stated that I would have to pay the difference because they do not upgrade. Erik chimes in and states that we have a similar model but I think it had a different skew number. The difference was about a 50 dollar difference. Davion looks at me and states, well it such a small amount so he "guess" they can approve the difference. But guess what, I was still left without my protection plan because my protection plan only covered the other computer. So in the end, they stated that they would ship my son out another computer(so we still have to wait on him to complete his work). They stated that we would receive it in one day. I hope this is true because this has never been the case every time I've ordered from Best Buy. But I'm not left with no protection plan for one of my kids and two other defective computers that have protection plans but they can't miss a month of school for Best Buy to find that they can not repair them. Not to mention, I would then have to purchase 3 additional protection plans. I am so frustrated and upset with the lack of customer service and the fact that Best Buy sold me three defective computers. I believe that's why they were on sale at the beginning of the year, but I digress.

I buy Best Buy geek squad, accidental damage protection plans for almost all of my electronics. They have come in handy quite a few times, and the customer service is always top-notch.

Worth it because you are likely to make a mess and its worth get a fresh computer

great store , best customer service named Sam . Sam is very kind and considerate ,hope he gets this to his manager.

Self explanatory, but Geek Squad is amazing with their support! Kind, communicative, and always working hard to find a solution!

Haven’t used it yet, but knowing I have a safety net makes me more comfortable. I had a previous laptop that I spilled a drink on and it fried it. I had no protection plan then. So this time I decided the protection plan was worth it.

This is a great product to have with your laptop. They are always fast when you need assistance in fixing an issue.

I never thought the computer I bought for a summer class would start giving me problems less then 2 months into using it. Granted it was a new product so it was bound to have some problems. Having Geek Squad production plan helped me to get nearly $1700 back to me in a form of BestBuy gift card. I was able to use that money and buy accessories for my camera I had just purchased a little before my computer for the fall semester. I worked out for me because I was about to struggle through the last 4 weeks of class and then got to get my money back and spend it on stuff I needed for school right after. I felt like Geek Squad really helped me save a lot of money with their 2 year protection plan.

Peace of mind for me. Not a very computer minded person. I am so happy I have a professional team to support me.

Great comfort with accidental damage protection for my new laptop. Haven't used it yet and sincerely hope that it is never needed, but it is a great comfort to have the protection there if something bad happens....

I got the three year deal when I bought my last computer. I buy all my electronics, tv, sound systems, computers, software, etc. from Best Buy because they always have the latest technology at a competitive price but service after the sale is key because I am not techy in any way. I just enjoy it. Geek Squad definitely is the key to Best Buy products working for you. If you need help setting something up, installing something, troubleshooting, etc. they are there ready to help you however you need it. Bringing Geek Squad inside the BEST BUY business model was genius. Sets BEST BUY apart from every other electronics store. Get the three year deal. You will never look back and renew it every chance you get.
