Purchasing through the website is easy… Purchasing through the website is easy and very effective. Simrad should get 5 stars for that. Unfortunately tech support is hard to reach, and although they are very kind and serious, don’t expect a follow up to a problem left unresolved. Great products, but not easy to use, and support needs more staffing.

Simrad cruise 7 arrived 2 days after I… Simrad cruise 7 arrived 2 days after I placed the order. Well boxed and in good condition. Nice simple unit, easy install. Bright screen and user friendly controls. No nmea or radar inputs but why have those options if you’re not going to use them, which the majority of recreational boaters won’t. GPS works well and the pre loaded c maps offer decent charts and shows the depth as well. Hard to beat the price too.

The NS EVO2.. The NS EVO2... Do you know Simrad wilfully and knowingly continued to sell these units well after they started receiving complaints about the touch screen? No, neither did we until the fault appeared after the warranty period expired. Their offer when we did a 'please explain' was a " remanufactured" unit (2nd hand rebuilt) with no warranty and half price. Found proof that they knew the screens fail at leased a year before we bought ours. How can you trust an organisation that considers that acceptable business practice? The transducer also has started to deliminate! Doesnt end there. The IS20 anemometer display could never be calibrated with the EVO2. Wind direction always off. Simrad? NEVER AGAIN.

The first women who helped me was… The first women who helped me was difficult to understand and didn't seem to have a good working knowledge of the product. By my third call I connected with someone who understood the product and escalated when necessary. Bottom line we are still not sure why I lost my side scan icon on the home page.

FOUR HOURS ON HOLD AND STILL NO ANSWERS! After spending over FOUR HOURS on hold with Simrad Tech Support, I still haven't been able to reach a warm body with any knowledge about how to resolve a simple issue with my brand new NSX 9. I have rarely witnessed worse customer service from a company with which I spent thousands of dollars. If you DO decide to buy a Simrad unit for your boat, DO NOT consider an NSX model. Evidently almost nobody in the company knows anything about them and they are anything but user friendly.
