Recent reviews from rent-to-own stores in Watertown.

I can't afford much and $36(+)/months first my budget. It's a nice alternative to spending a couple hundred on an unknown from an individual. I'm internet illiterate and hit some bumps but was able to finish. Thank you.

Rent-A-Center

They did a great job at replacing my washer and dryer both after my dryer went up and having the lid sensor went bad on the washer. There team installing them this go round was much better and they were more worrisome about making sure my water hoses weren't leaking from the back of the washer. Very thankful for the service they have provided.

Best rent-a-center we've been to, they are so sweet, accommodating, and understanding! I want to shout out Shawn specifically, if I could I'd give him 10 stars! He's always thorough, understanding and makes everything easy!

Was having problems with the Rent-A-Center website which was unresponsive. Finally the main manager at the Arsenal street store was able to figure out solution. I do believe the website that Rent a Center switched to definitely needs some improvement as the store employees do not have power to fix and have to deal w/a customers frustration when it is unresponsive. I would rent w/them again.

Rent-A-Center

I give the staff there a 10 for how professional and helpful they all are. There rates are very affordable also. Nice furniture and they can get you almost anything quick. Thanks guys for everything.
