Midwest Electronic Recovery — Local services in Clive

I've been to this location to buy used computers twice in the past, and I visited again recently to look at computers. The prices were good, as always.

I have to mention the smell of cigarette smoke. It was immediately noticeable when I walked in. I can't help but ponder bringing a computer that has had smokey air blown through its innards into my home . I could hear the hum of an air purifier running from somewhere behind the counter, but it can only do so much. It still smelled of smoke. The smell also made me recall why I don't visit more often.

Are they EPA certified? I don't remember seeing any certificates on their walls. Maybe I'll call the EPA and just have them pop in and do a little check. Perhaps that'll help them open their...

They have lots of high quality laptops and other computers for a great price, but that's not their biggest strength. Although that is a big deal, their staff is amazing!! They are very friendly and helpful. They actually CARE about their customers and want to make you happy enough to come back again some day. They have helped us in a big way. My computer is my bread and butter. I can't afford to be without one or have one that is unreliable. This past week the computer I had purchase from them years ago crashed. Dead beyond fixing. They got me set up with another one and they even helped me retrieve my information. I love these guys! Can't go wrong with...
