    Updated on 06/02/2023: Element Electronics customer service is terrible. Go ahead and read the other reviews. I've been getting ran around by them for a few weeks now. I posted a 1-star review for the 55" Roku TV and they gave me completely different information. Customer service via email states that my warranty is up at 1 year. My TV started having problems at 1 year and 5 months and was completely unusable by 1 year and 6 months. LOTS of people said they had the same issue, from review sites to their website to here.

    I left a 1-star review here as well, and guess what? They're telling me their warranty is now 2 years. That just isn't true! Beware of this electronic company. In the likely case of their electronics becoming faulty, they'll give you the run around so they don't take responsibility. Do yourself a favor and spend a little extra for name brand Samsung, Sony, or even straight from Roku themselves.

    Original Review: I purchased an Element 55" Roku Smart TV and the screen died just over a year and a half old after purchasing it! First and last time getting an Element TV. Just after the warranty ran out, I noticed lines on the TV screen (lower left). Within a month's time, the television developed lines all over the screen, then began flickering with both vertical and horizontal lines. Before it completely died, half the screen went dark. I've never seen a TV do that before.

    I wrote customer service and they said they couldn't do anything, despite evidence that this was a common problem. It took 3 weeks for them to even respond with suggestions. I posted negative reviews on several sites and when they responded with "email customer service and we'll help you!", they continued telling me they couldn't do anything at all. It was completely disingenuous and only left me more frustrated. Sounds to me like there needs to be a class action lawsuit filed against Element Electronics. Their customer service doesn't help, takes forever, and blames the consumer for their defects. Highly recommend never purchasing from them, as you will be gambling your money away.

    I bought my daughter a Christmas present in December 2022. The tv never worked, they told me to take the tv to a repair shop in Queens. 45 mins away from my home. Two weeks later they said to pick up the TV. The tv was not repairable. So I drove 45 min to pick up a dead tv. Now it's 5 months later, no refund, just the run-around. I will never buy anything from this company. Only a Samsung tv. I just want my money back.

    Hello k. We are sorry to hear your TV never worked. The retailer usually has a 90 day return policy. With it being past 90 days, we are happy to try to help you with a resolution for warranty and sounds like UBIF was unable to repair the TV. Depending on the size it will be a refund or a replacement - without a name or number I cannot process or assist in this forum.

    Purchased a TV November 2021 with a 2 year warranty. Registered and confirmed 2 year warranty. TV screen went out after lines and then black. Contacted their customer service via email in March 2023, completes unsuccessful troubleshooting, and 22 days later still no TV and last email from them says it’s not under warranty (I emailed proof and have a copy of their warranty) and they closed the case. It is unacceptable customer service and now I can’t get a call back. Breach of warranty contract. I was wanting it replaced, but now I want a full refund because I don’t want to support a company who is refusing to honor warranties.

    I purchased an Element 70” Roku Smart tv from Walmart June 2020. It went black with no picture and no sound on February 7, 2023. This tv didn’t last 3 years! It’s ridiculous how I wasted my hard earned dollars on this malfunctioning device. I have several other smart TVs in other rooms throughout my house that are many years older and they are in excellent working condition. Please don’t buy from this company because it appears they make malfunctioning equipment. Buyer beware!! Also when I reached out to their customer support to see if anything could be done, they said my 1 year warranty expired and I could call their recommendation for someone to repair it for a fee. This tv is a complete lost and I will NEVER purchase anything from them again.

    This Company is horrible. I like many others in these reviews purchased at 70 inch tv and three months later the screen went black. I called multiple time, was told to reset multiple times and no resolution. I asked to have a new tv and they told me to take my 70 inch tv and put it in my car, drive it a half hour away and take it to a repair shop in a terrible neighborhood. When I told them this wasn't feasible I was told I would receive a call in 24 hours. That never happened. I had to call back and wait a half hour on their phone system which is a joke. To be told someone sent an email instead and they are just going to give me a check but they don't have the details in it I'd have to wait another 24 hours. It's been 24 days with no tv, I missed the ball drop on New Years and this Company could care less.

    I had an Element Tv for about 2 years before the TV screen went black. We went back and forth with Element trying to troubleshoot but nothing worked. They said there were problems with the TVs that were purchased on Black Friday. They gave me a refund. I decided to get another Element TV thinking this wouldn't happen again. I made sure not to purchase it on Black Friday. I ended up buying a bigger TV and spending a lot more money on it. Well 1 year and 1 month later the exact same thing happened. Only this time it started making a buzzing sound and had a burning smell before it just went totally black. I contacted Element and their response was it's out of the 1 year warranty and I should contact someone to repair it.

    This is ridiculous. A TV should not last only 1 year. Everyone I talk to that has other brands have had their TVs for years with no issues. Every review I read about Element TVs has the same issue with the TV going black. I should be issued a refund as the last refund check just went right back to them for another one of their TVs that doesn't work. Maybe they need a class action lawsuit because there's so many people with the same exact issue. I will never purchase another Element TV and I will make sure my friends and family know not to purchase one either. Now I have a 75 inch TV just sitting here.

    In Nov of 2020 I purchased a 70" Element TV. After 11 months, screen went black. I contacted customer service and they were very helpful and eventually issued me a refund. I received the refund in November of 2021 and used it to buy a 75" Element TV on November 5th 2021, assuming that what happened with the last Tv may be a fluke. Well, just today, 12/14/22, the same exact thing happened. Screen is black and can't see anything. The same exact thing that happened with the last TV I bought from them, happened again, this time 13 months after I purchased it. Save yourself the trouble and do NOT purchase an element TV unless you only want to have the TV for one year.

    I am now 1 month out of warranty, so I am pretty sure they will not refund me but I would just like to warn others. Companies like this, that produce crap products that last one year, should not be able to sell their products. Again, last time I dealt with their customer service, it did go well but the bottom line is I had two TVs stop working one year after purchase. No matter how good your customer service is, your products should be built to last longer than 1 year. I have 6 other TVs throughout my house and all of them are much older than the Element. I have a Sony that is probably 15 years old in my son's room, and a Samsung in my basement that is probably 8 years old, and a brand called Olevia in my daughter's room that is still kicking after 17 years! It's a shame cause I really liked the TVs with the built in Roku.

    Horrible all around. We didn't have the TV for 3 months and it blacked out. Took 2 months to get it to a repair shop then after a month they "no longer make the part we'd need" so sure, "We'll give you a refund FOR $180"! I think that No way in the world we could replace the TV for that. It was an issue they knew about or should have from the reviews on the BBB. Talked to 5 managers with surprisingly American names despite their very thick Indian accents. All told me something different. In the warranty it says replacement is an option but yet EVERY non manager I've talked to has said, "We don't do replacements." They will screw you over hard. Do not buy from them!!! You get nothing but the run around and a big middle finger from them.

    I bought a 65 inch smart TV on black Friday last year. Last month it completely went black. I contacted the company, sent them all requested paperwork, 3 weeks and 40 emails later they finally set up a service for my TV to be repaired. Well the TV wasn't repairable and a report was sent back to Element. Well after more attempts to try and get my TV replaced, finally someone just told me I'm getting a refund of 299. Well I spent 330 in black Friday (major sales day). I told them I did not want the refund check. I would like a "replacement of equal or greater value" like their warranty and policy state.

    After talking to 4 different people and numerous emails someone finally just said no, and initiated a check to be sent. I've contacted through the help chat 4 different times to cancel the check and issue an actual replacement since I can literally not replace my TV with the sales price I paid. And per their own contract (that they've sent me numerous times) they should lawfully be replacing my TV of equal or great value of my 65 inch TV. But after talking to 2 different supervisors, who both said completely different things for resolving. This last one I spoke to today said they have absolutely no tvs in their warehouse, none, except a 32 inch if I want it instead of my refund or my 65 inch. So not only am I out a 65 inch TV. I'm out 30 dollars, because they don't reimburse sales tax and they broke their own terms and conditions. They sold a faulty TV and I literally paid them for it. It's almost comical. Bad customer service, bad representative communication. Bad procedure, and very poor sticking to their own terms and conditions.

    I made the mistake of purchasing one 65 inch Element TV a little over a year ago and one 70 inch a couple months ago. Both TVs have given me several issues in the short time I’ve had them. The top have of the 65 inch would randomly get dark and faded and then after a few minutes go back to normal and then the 70 inch screen would flicker at times and then randomly restart or the sound would not work at times. I never called in about these issues because I could usually just turn the tv off and then back on or unplug it and then restart them to work.

    Just today the 65 inch TV screen just went completely black even when it was turned on. I tried my regular troubleshooting steps and I still would not get any picture on the screen. I called elements customer service and the first person I talked to told me to try some troubleshooting steps and neither worked the customer said we could try one more step but before he could instruct the call dropped. I tried calling a second rep and informed them that I had already tried the first two steps and previously and they did not work.

    The rep kept insisting that I try the first two steps again before telling me the 3rd trouble shooting method and I told I had already tried them and would like to just try the third option because I didn’t want to waste time doing something I already know would not work. The rep became very rude and just hung up. I was shocked. I called a third time and informed the next person what had happened before. She finally instructed me on the third option which of course did not work either and then immediately also hung up on me. I am not only disappointed with their product but extremely dissatisfied with the customer service I recieved. I will never order an element product again. Their TVs are not quality at all and do not last long and their customer service is atrocious. Extremely disappointed.

    When I first got this TV I was a little bit sketchy about the price, but when I turned it on it was everything it promised. It had an astonishing 4K resolution and overall good image quality, but viewing angles were pretty disappointing. Speakers were fine. You won’t get a Samsung or LG image quality, but there’s a huge price difference between both. As of the Fire TV, at first glance it seemed OK, it’s pretty responsive, but had some trouble with some apps not working or crashing. Then I got to fix all of them just by updating the software.

    The only thing I am concerned about is the Amazon support, because right now the latest Fire OS is 7, while my TV is still at Fire OS 5 which I'm OK with, but I’m concerned if in the future some apps will stop working or if my TV gets obsolete and left behind. My TV still gets updates but they’re still on OS 5 so there’s still a chance that it’ll get an OS 7 update from amazon. Overall, and for the price I paid, they’re very good TVs. Sometimes if there’s a software problem, an update will probably fix it, because out of the box it won’t update by itself, you have to manually update from settings. Tbh if you’re just looking for something cheap that works and looks fine, this is the option for you.

    I purchased a 32" Element ROKU TV to replace my 24" early generation LCD TV. After going through the set-up, it refused to access my satellite box using HDMI, or AV connections. Talked with their "customer support" and after 1 hour of various set-up configurations, still would not access my satellite. Returned TV to retailer for refund. FYI - I purchased an ONN ROKU TV and encountered the same problem. Contacted "support" via Chat and I was connected to the same person that I had on Chat with the Element TV. I also purchased a TCL ROKU TV and same thing. Same with support. I'm convinced one company is producing TVs and putting various names on them to make them "different" but they are all the same. I would not recommend any inexpensive TVs if you have satellite or cable.

    Do not buy. I bought the 50-inch Element Fire TV edition TV. Immediately after purchasing it I was having issues with a popping noise coming from the headphone jack when the TV was powered on and off or went into sleep mode. I brought this up to Element about the back-and-forth to Amazon never got resolved. This was a minor issue that I could work around. About 14 months after owning the TV started having more serious issues, the TV would intermittently have a blue screen I would have to power cycle the TV or do a factory reset, then the TV started having issues with lines across the bottom, these did not go away. All the long I'm calling element for support but not receiving any. Finally the TV died altogether 18 months after owning.

    I called Amazon. I've called element, both companies offer no support. Element stuck by their claim of the products only warranted for 12 months, and that they could not stand by the reliability of electronic items. I was shocked to hear them say that they cannot stand by a product they sell because of the electronic item. It was obvious that I'm talking to call-center overseas who's reading off a script.

    Element support provides no support whatsoever, the open tickets. They don't return calls when they tell you they will, escalations go nowhere. I asked what should I be able to reasonably expect as far as life expectancy for their product. It was rated at 5000 hours. I only use the TV for a total of 960 hours. 18 months and I have to throw the television away. They attempted to send me to You Fix It to get me off the telephone, I spoke to you fix it. They told me that the TV cannot be repaired because element does not provide repair parts. I then spoke with the TV repair person, the same story. So in closing element cells a disposable TV that lasts no more than 18 months, they provide no support, their explanation is they only offer 12 months warranty which apparently is their expected lifespan of the television. Stay far away from element products. I literally bought a TV that only lasts for 18 months of light usage.

    I purchased a 65 in smart tv by element and within a month it just stopped powering on. I called Customer service and they literally had me unplug the unit and plug it back in and when it did not work they said it needed to be replaced and the entire process would take no more than 10 days. Then came hell.... they wanted the tv recycled and a receipt which apparently you have to pay for that and find a place that will give you a receipt due to laws they don't issue them then once all of that is done take pics of the tv being recycled and the receipt and send it in and it will be forwarded to a million different departments before issuing a check then they mail it all snail mail and upon receipt it was not the correct amount....

    Needless to say a month and a half later I still have no tv and no full reimbursement of the money spent.... and the only answers I can get from the company are the same generic generated responses that are read off a piece of paper each and every time.... add I the horror of 3rd floor apt and I'm dealing with cancer treatment, sick and still screwed out of part of my money to even purchase a new one. .. ugh.

    Some years ago, I purchased an Element 23" TV (at Walmart, on a Black Friday sale) for use as a dedicated computer monitor. That TV has been great. I'm still using it as I write this review. When I turn off the computer, the TV turns off after a little bit (it should be instantaneous, like regular computer monitors, but this is a very minor issue). I've never used it for regular television, nor have I ever connected a DVD or Blu-Ray player to this TV, so I cannot speak to that experience.

    On Black Friday in 2018, at Walmart, I purchased another Element TV, this time a 39" class "smart" TV, but it isn't that smart. Yes, it has several streaming services built in, and yes, it can connect to the internet, but it is missing a number of features that I would expect a smart TV to have. Let's start with a feature called "HDMI-CEC" -- this allows other devices to turn the TV on or off via the HDMI port. Power up your Blu-Ray player and have the TV come on, for instance, or use Google-home (or Google Nest) products, and control the TV via your smart-home device. OK, I realize that this doesn't apply to everybody who wants to make a purchase, so here are some other issues as well: The remote lacks a sleep button.

    The remote for the 23" TV mentioned above has one, and it even works with this TV, but this TV's own remote lacks that button. One has to dig several layers deep into the menus in order to activate the sleep function with this TV's own remote. That's just silly. Especially with a so-called "smart" TV. Another issue concerns lag when the TV is turned on. The remote simply won't do anything for the first minute or so the TV is on. Best guess is that the TV is still booting, but if it came on with the volume too loud, or on the wrong input, the user just gets to wait a bit before the remote will do anything. This is also silly.

    I had this 32 days and the video quit. To be honest, the picture wasn't very good from day one. Kinda glad it broke. I was able to return it and buy a Samsung. Don't waste your money on this brand. There's no memory so you can't add any apps, and only have the preloaded apps. Seems the video/picture going out suddenly is a common complaint.
