Best gift!

We were looking for a special gift for our new son-in-law and found it at Porter Electronics. It came quickly, well-packaged, and was a huge hit!

Purchased a refurbished VHS/DVD Player for my daughter for Christmas. Their website is easy to maneuver and the item descriptions are spot on. The shipping was as expected and the player was very well packed. No chance of damage during delivery.
The player is beautiful and worked flawlessly My daughter loves it.

Great

My husband has a lot of the micro tapes but all 3 of his recorders no longer worked. You were the only source I found with reasonably priced replacements. It was the perfect Christmas present and it works perfectly.

Great Service

My order was handled efficiently and the Bose Wave radio/CD works perfectly. I emailed to ask if Porter would like my old Wave radio to renovate and received a quick clear response. This is great service at a very good price.

Pleased customer

First, the willingness to ship the player to relatives in Oregon so we could pick it up and return to our home in Alaska was outstanding. Secondly the time & effort of extremely good packaging was very much appreciated. Third, after some initial trouble with the player's function and emails to Porter Electronics the player is working just fine. Thank you!

Better Than Advertised

The camera purchased was as good or better than advertised. It was extremely well packaged when shipped and arrived in great condition. Had to wait a few weeks for delivery but was well worth it. Will definitely purchase from Porter Electronics again as needed.

This is a great company

This is a great company. We bought a refurbished Sony VCR for a family member who has a large collection of videos. The Sony was incredibly well packed and shipped quickly and safely. The VCR works very well due to Sony's solid construction and the excellent refurbishment. We are very pleased with this purchase.

Great source for legacy electronics

The DVD recorder we purchased was great. It arrived packaged so well, it had so much bubble-wrap. It worked great. However, being a "newer" unit (Sony RDR-GX360 DVD Recorder - HDMI), it was affected by the Do Not Record signals sent out by several channels (FOX, ABC to name two), so it didn't suit our main purpose for it. The great news is that returning the unit was painless. Will buy from Porter Electronics again the next time we need a legacy electronic device.

I bought a refurbished Bose CD stereo

I bought a refurbished Bose CD stereo. The webpage told me that my product would ship within five business days… It shipped within one! I had it in my hand by the fifth day. I was beyond pleased!
I purchased it because my Bose CD stopped working after 10+ years. I am very pleased to have this one in my possession so I can listen to my old CDs again
Thank you very much!

PS… I don’t remember how long ago I purchased this. But I think it’s been within the last three months. It is now October.

Was looking for an old school Bose countertop AM/FM radio.
Porter had what I was looking for, completely refurbished, and works perfectly. Can’t find these anymore. Was totally happy with the personal service and the product is great!
Thanks

Slightly frustrating

Once received, it was hard to figure out what wires were needed to be compatible with the tv. After about three weeks and four different "eye sets", it was usable. Don't know that anything could have been done differently by Porter's as the model of the VCR and TV were just not easily compatible. Luckily, my son-in-law is still young enough to be "tech savvy." LOL
