The Nintendo switch is a “game” changer in the console world. Not only does it allow you to play on the go with a very vibrant OLED screen, but the ability to hook it up to a larger TV and not lose quality is a fantastic feature. The games are great, quality is great, and is a blast to play either on your own or with the whole family.
I bought this model from Best Buy refurbished since it was slightly cheaper than a brand new one, and have been very happy with the purchase. Whoever does the refurbishing at Best Buy deserves a raise! Whenever you buy something refurbished, there is always hesitation when it comes to quality control. However, with this OLED switch, the quality is as if it was brand new. Must Buy.

It arrived with everything tossed into a Ziploc baggie. Like the kind that you would put a sandwich in. I’m honestly surprised there was no scratches or scuffs. However, I can’t really complain because it’s a perfectly working OLED switch (in my case)! I had the option to either buy the OG old switch for $299 or buy this refurbished OLED switch for only $10 more! I don’t know about you but for me that was a really easy decision! Though I was worried, I am very happy with my purchase! However, I will not be giving this five stars, due to the fact that it arrived in a baggie. I feel like it could’ve been in a more secure box. The way the switch and everything was thrown in feels like they were the french fries at the bottom of your bag lol. Also, sorry for the wonky photos. The first two are screenshots from the video I took the day I got it in the last one is from today. (The screen only looks weird because of my phone camera)

So, I was a little hesitant about buying a refurbished console, but this unit has exceeded my expectations. The box itself looked a little used, but when I opened it up, everything looked factory fresh. Everything was packaged/wrapped perfectly. The screen is beautiful and everything works exactly as it should. I have tested multiple games, both digital downloads and physical cards--all work perfectly. I've owned this for over a month and it still performs as it should. I love it and would highly recommend a refurbished unit to save yourself a little cash.

This screen is beautiful, by far my #1 go to portable. I am a huge Nintendo fan so I may be a little biased. Best buy membership makes it easy to pay off ... you need to join the membership program! No interest for 12 months is fantastic

So I was a little skeptical about buying something that was refurbished, I’m always used to beyond it brand new but if I have the chance to save money I totally will, so I took the risk even though some reviews weren’t so positive. I was very surprised when I got it in the mail. Everything was perfect. It works like brand new, everything came as if it was new, this was totally worth it and I definitely recommend!!!

If you're considering a gaming console that truly stands out, look no further than the Nintendo Switch in stunning white. The quality is exceptional, and I can't emphasize enough how much joy it has brought to my son. He often struggles with focus, but this console has become a game-changer for him. It's not just a source of entertainment; it actively engages him and enhances his concentration in a fun way. If you want to see your child light up with happiness and improve their focus, the Nintendo Switch is the perfect choice!

The first unit we got felt refurbished, no plastics on any of the joycons, switch unit, chargers. Then we tried testing everything and I recommend anyone who buys this product do so. From downloading a bunch of different games, checking the joycons, hooking up the dock to the tv, and battery life. Check it all. The first unit we got had a problem with probably the graphics chip since some games had streaks of lines while some didn't. Just went to a best buy store and had it replaced. The replacement came in about 3 days later and was in much better condition. It felt brand new! Had plastic wrappings and not a single flaw! Would recommend but just be sure to check it thoroughly so that you can get it replaced if need be.

I am a little worried reading some of the refurbished reviews but I wanted this for the Zelda release so I rolled the dice. It is perfect, all packaging was the same as if it were new. The geek squad did an excellent job with mine and I am very happy. I bought a case and screen protector elsewhere but my OLED switch is PERFECT!!

at first, I was very skeptical of buying a refurbished Nintendo switch. I could honestly say this was a very great experience and when I received the switch, it was pretty much near mint condition. I am truly satisfied with this purchase!!!!

I was a bit skeptical about ordering a refurbished Switch but im so glad i did! It is a risk but you do get 15 days to return it, so id say go for it ! I got it on sale for $304 and it has ran very smooth the past week ive owed it . The condition was pratically new and it came with no box but all the pieces were there . Not to mention best buys shipping is insane I got it in 2 days ! GET IT ! Im so happy I did ❤️

My original first generation Switch was starting to run slower than an old Windows 95 computer but I didn't really want to pay full price for the OLED model. So I went out on a limb and bought a geek squad certified refurbished. I was pleasantly surprised to find what appeared to be an unopened box item. Stickers were still in place (the kind that are on the box keeping it sealed when you buy it brand new). All packaging and inserts were intact inside the box. The switch itself had no identifiable marks indicating it had been used previously, and is working like a charm. Feel like I have a brand new item at 50 bucks less. I would absolutely recommend going this route to anyone trying to be a little more frugal. And if you happen to buy a lemon, it is certified and warrantied so you should be able to replace it or get a refund without issue.

Could not be happier that I’ve play on it for a few days now. Only reason I’m giving four stars is because I believe one of the joycons’s sticks is broken and will not press in. Luckily none of the games i’ve purchased require it though it might in the future
