• Most major retail superstores offer a 30-day money back guarantee on their products and there are those consumers that just simply take advantage of that. These items are returned to the manufacturer, inspected and repackaged like new.
• Items where the box or packaging was damaged in shipment and are returned to the manufacturer.
• The item was returned to the manufacturer because of a slight defect. The part that was defective was replaced by the manufacturer, tested, and then re-packaged just like new.
• The item was returned because of a minor cosmetic blemish on the product that was corrected.
• Demonstration units are also considered factory refurbished. These units are inspected, tested, and repackaged.
• The box was simply opened. That’s it!
• Brand new overstocked items are also labeled factory refurbished.

Answer: Refurbs save you money! Why hesitate getting the best value by getting the exact same equipment, with original manufacturers warranty, at a much lower price:

• If you couldn’t afford that expensive item – NOW you can with a factory refurb! And still get the same performance & warranty.

• Refurbished (reconditioned) items have a much lower defect rate. From 10 units that come back for repair only 1 is usually a factory refurb, because refurbished units are tested before they are sold.
