What customers are saying

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

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!

Maria Fencil
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.

Tayler Rogers
Rent-A-Center

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.

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.

Shopping for rent-to-own in Watertown

Getting the best deal on rent-to-own takes a little preparation. Here are tips to help you make an informed decision at any of the 4 stores in Watertown.

Compare stores side by side

Use the comparison table above to compare stores side by side, rated by customers, with products and contact info in one view.

Ask about early purchase options

Every rent-to-own agreement should include an early purchase option (EPO). Ask the store how much you can save by buying the item outright before the full lease term ends. The earlier you buy, the more you save.

Check store hours before you go

Hours can vary by location and may change on holidays. Call ahead or check the store listings above to confirm the store is open before making the trip. Many stores close earlier on weekends.

Read reviews from other customers

Customer reviews can reveal important details about service quality, delivery experience, and staff helpfulness. Check ratings on each store listing and click through for detailed reviews.

Estimate your total cost

Use the VRTO calculator to estimate your total rent-to-own cost before you visit. Knowing the full cost upfront helps you compare options and budget effectively.

Know your rights

Rent-to-own is generally structured as a lease with an option to own. Return rights and obligations vary by agreement and state. New York has consumer protection laws governing RTO transactions. Ask the store for a copy of your agreement before signing.

New York law

What New York law gives you before you sign

New York regulates rent-to-own under New York Rent-to-Own Law, and the rules are the same at every store in the state. Before you sign, the store has to put the cash price, the total cost to own the item, and the number of payments in front of you, so the real number is never buried in the fine print. Rent-to-own is a lease and not a loan, so there is no interest rate, and returning the item does not go on your credit.

This is a plain summary, not legal advice. Read your own agreement and confirm the terms with the store.
