Appliance sales and service sub par.

by Sander v.

You maybe able to get a reasonable deal on appliances over at best buy, but do keep in mind that the if there anything wrong with the appliance when it is delivered, you are basically stuck with it unless you want to buy a new one or deal with a 20% restocking fee. Then their 5-year warranty service means that they will come buy and fix things in the next few weeks as someone is available and meanwhile you are stuck with a broken appliance. I would recommend you consider ordering from Sears instead.

BEST buy????

by Allison B. | insider_expert Insider Expert | Rank: 3,500

Best buy prides itself on its name - implying good deals and prices. They are clearly high as one would determine as they see the price tags on the shelves for even the used video games. They do have a fairly large CD and Video selection however. If you can afford it Best Buy has a reasonable inventory. If you don't have that kind of green, you can go and covet the video isles quietly.

Make the best choice

by Hung N. | insider_expert Insider Expert | Rank: 4,310

A very cool store. This is where you can find a computer, a new dvd player, and a washing machine at the same place. My experiences with them have been nothing but good, they are really a great bunch to do business with. You wont have any trouble finding anything, its really well organized and the whole store is basically heaven for a tech-geek. I like to drop by just to see whats new sometimes.

Not that cheap

by Daniel G. | insider_expert Insider Expert | Rank: 5,975

Although many people think Best Buy is cheap, it is actually not that cheap. But it has a wide selection of anything that you could think of. It has a lot of CDs also.

Best Buy has everything you can possibly want to buy, electronically. The prices are high and the service is terrible. But once you can get help they are great.

Best buy

by Saam O. | insider_expert Insider Expert | Rank: 3,582

the Best Buy of Mira Mesa is a newly opened Best Buy that is convenently placed right next to highway 15 making it very easy to get to. There is alot of parking space and the area outside is clean and safe. As for the store itself it is also clean and well kept wiht polite workers. The service is alot better than the one by fashion Valley Mall. The workers are also younger and more likely to be helpful than the other Best Buy.

Average Electronics Store

by Kyle D. | insider Insider | Rank: 23,441

The selection in Best Buy is great (excluding the CD collection, which is lacking a few great artists). It is the prices of some things that will stop me from coming back. New release DVDs are around $20 (I usually pick them up for $14). Many video games are very expensive and can be found at other places for much cheaper prices. Also, the computer components section is lacking a few things you may be looking for.

Amazing CD selection

by Kirsty F. | insider Insider | Rank: 25,598

Best Buy is the place to go for CD's. They have pretty much any CD you could ever want at very reasonable prices. They also have a great selection of video games, and other electronics, although I have never purchased those there. Often times they will have discounts on DVD box sets that other stores don't have. The staff is always very helpful and will help you find what you need.

Best Buy

by Andrew B.

This is an okay store that usually has ok customer service. They do have some problems with finding things in stock which could result in waiting for a long time just to get a rain check. Another problem is they sometimes have excuses on their sales not being valid or right. Other than that it is an okay store.

An Awesome Electronis Experience!

by Ian B. | insider_expert Insider Expert | Rank: 7,483

I can't find anywhere else in San Diego with more selection of movies, sound equipment, appliances and more! The great organization helps for a speedy experience, but thats if you want to leave. The great low prices tentalize you to spend more because its almost like you are ripping them off. The service is great and their customer service is always willing you. I would recommend this to anyone who loves an electronic experience like no other.

Great electronics store

by Mark P. | insider_expert Insider Expert | Rank: 7,051

The selection of video games, computer games, and accessories for electronics. There are good prices on everything. The parking is somewhat of a pain as it is on a very busy street. The music is pretty cheap.

So incredibly mediocre.

by Michael T. | insider Insider | Rank: 14,284

This particular Best Buy location can really only be described as mediocre, in nearly every way. Compared to other stores in the same chain, and similar retailers, the selection of products is average, customer service is passable, and prices are nothing to write home about. The place is good in a pinch when one wants to pick up a DVD or CD or the like, but otherwise itd probably be a better idea to stick with smaller, more specialized retailers.

The restrooms are clean, though. That's nice.

PROS: Easy to find, consistent selection.
CONS: Average selection, average prices.

Best Buy is a huge store! This place has everything to suit your needs. They have all sorts of electronics (the camcorder and camera area is really fun to play in) and other stuff for everyone. Their sales are awesome, I always can find cheap stuff, especially when I need it. I just wish the lines moved faster here, otherwise its a great store

by Kimberly N. | insider Insider | Rank: 13,855

this place is pretty nice for those who are bored or are shopping for electronics. its pretty darn huge and covers just about everything someone might need in their house, from big screen tvs to vacuum cleaners. their pricing is a little high, but i guess thats okay since its located around a pretty wealthy area. their sales are something that always keeps me coming back.

Fun place to go

by Matthew E. | insider Insider | Rank: 15,281

Best Buy is new in the area and I always like to drop by to see what new things they have to offer. The store is simply massive, its tiring just to walk through everything and their election is huge. I like how they have lots of things on display so I can give them a test drive before purchasing. Its not the greatest experience I've had, but good none the less.

Not big on getting the best buy

by John N. | insider_guru Insider Guru | Rank: 1,919

Best Buy should be more like Worst Buy. To a person who knows about electronics shopping and has been around a block, you'll quickly notice the gimmicks they offer and the not-so-best pricing in San Diego. Most of the time, I know more about what I'm buying than the customer representative, and their return policy isn't too good. However, once in a while, they have a deal thats hard to resist.

Too Much?

by Corbin S. | insider Insider | Rank: 27,288

You can get two feelings from going into Best Buy. You can either love the place or you can be scared of it. Best buy has a huge selection of goods. Ranging from Washing Machines to Televisions. If you are a techie like me, you know exactly what you want. If your someone new to the electronic game, you can feel unwelcomed and scared of the wide selection. Before you go to Best Buy, beware of the size.

One of the better electronic stores

by Peter L. | insider_guru Insider Guru | Rank: 530

You can find almost anything electronic you need for a good deal. I remember that when the psp came out, best buy had it for only $230. Best buy also has a pretty good selection of cds for low prices. On tuesday, the day cds come out, you can pick up new releases for 9.99 and under. You can't find a better deal in San Diego.

Best Buy in Mira Mesa and is new to the area. It is good to have an electronics store so close now. When you enter the store there are weekly advertisments of items on sale. If you look closely at these ads you will find some very good deals.
