Why Abt Electronics earned a C+
About Abt Electronics
Walk into Abt's Glenview, Illinois showroom and you'll understand why people drive hours to shop there — it's less a store and more a destination, with appliance galleries, a furniture design desk, and staff who've often been there over a decade. The company's been family-run since 1936, and that longevity shows in how it operates: real salespeople who know the inventory, not just a warehouse with a website bolted on.
Online, you get the same catalog — TVs, laptops, refrigerators, mattresses, audio gear — plus price matching, financing, and free tech support after purchase. It's a solid pick if you want big-box selection with actual customer service behind it. The catch is that the flagship experience, live demos and in-person consultations, is tied to that one Illinois location, so if you're shopping from elsewhere, you're getting the online version only.
What they sell
- Major appliances — refrigerators, ranges, dishwashers, washers and dryers
- TVs, computers, and home electronics
- Furniture and mattresses
- Custom home audio/video installation and design services
