Customer Testimonials

Great service for Electronics International.  Very helpful with what it needed for my aircraft. My mechanic has installed several of these units and highly recommended this for my aircraft.

Ralph J. from North Carolina
Cessna 150L

I have never had an issue with any EI products… it looks fantastic on the panel.

Thomas A. from Oklahoma
Beechcraft Bonanza E35

I started with a CGR-30C. I loved it so much, I added a CGR-30P… [Your customer service] was a great help configuring it and EI gave me a great deal. I am now an EI customer for life!

Andrew R. from Florida
Piper PA-28-180 Archer

The CGR-30P is a fantastic product and EI has excellent customer service. EI is the leader in engine monitors with a strong track record.

William G. from New York
Cessna 182Q Skylane

Just about to begin flying with the EI MVP-50P, so no in-flight feedback yet. But I did study the user manual, then sat in my plane going through the screens, menus, etc. It was very easy and intuitive to locate everything, so I’m confident that it will become second nature to do this in flight… Very happy with all interactions with EI.

Robert B. from California
2002 Diamond DA40-180

Awesome Product! Great product and fantastic support!

David B. from Texas
Cessna 182Q Skylane

[Customer Support was] very responsive and helpful. [I heard about EI through] advice from others. Just about everyone I asked about the CGR-30 loves it and your company.

Brett U. from Idaho
Piper PA-28 S-180 Cherokee

Simple and Easy.

Aaron H. from Washington

Love the look and having every piece of info in front of me… Better price and look [versus competition].

Gregg J. from Indiana

Great product. So easy to read compared to the originals.
