Rent-A-Center

Amazing service and flexibility for my needs. I would absolutely recommend to anyone that doesn't have decent credit or a lot of money to spend up front. Granted, You end up paying more for what you get, but in a pinch definitely worth it! I will be back The next time I am in the market for something new!

Rent-A-Center

I had put off getting a new washing machine. I was hoping my old one would hold on for a few more months. It didn't. Lol. I found myself in an emergency laundry situation and had to go the rent-to-own route. These guys are great to work with! I picked out what I wanted online and my local store did the rest. They were accommodating of my work schedule and made the whole process virtually stress free. I now have a beautiful, new washer and dryer and my payments are affordable. I highly recommend Rent-A-Center!!
