Factory refurbished?? What does it mean by factory refurbished?
5601
Usually refurbished means that it was once in the hands of the consumer who returned it for some reason, maybe it did not work, maybe they decided they did not want it. Either way, it is tested and looked over (usually my the manufacturer) and resold as a refurbished item. Usually Refurbished items are a good bet as they have been looked over and tested by a technician, where as only a few new items are tested.

Hello, The unit we sell as per our listing it is Dell Factory Refurbished, we are a resellers of computers, factory refurbished products we sell are directly from manufacturer, they work just as new, condition is also similar to new unit, certainly being refurbished you may always find minor cosmetic scratches, which are not anything major and do not affect performance of the unit. Yes, there is over one year Dell warranty on this unit. Thank you,

The one I received IS a REFURBISHED unit. On the headband in the middle it's clearly printed "REFURB-W".

The guarantee of a factory refurbished item is the same as a new item. There is no change in guarantees between a factory refurbished item and a new item.

Remanufactured in this context is same as refurbished. The unit I got was in box new condition. Not even a scratch..or fingerprint. Likely previous buyer had buyers remorse and retuned..so unit considered used. It is a hefty price..but a top of line toaster..and ideal size!

There was nothing mentioned about it, I purchased it refurbished but iam guessing is 1 year with the manufacturer. I will give them a call and follow up with more info.

Typically, after a manufacturer refurbishes them, they repackage them as if they are new, except there will be an extra label on the box saying "refurbished", and they come with the full warranty as a new one has.

Used are perhaps computer that someone leased for a period of time & then their lease is up & the computer returned. Refurbished is a computer that was returned either to the factory or store because of problems, & not necessarily functional problems ...They check them out, fix them , clean them up & resell them. I have purchased 6 computers including lap tops & to date I'm not disappointed. They all worked fine.

Why didn't you take it back to the store and get a refund? Refurbished units just seem dirty to me.Yeah, if something does do what that something is built for right out of the box, it's more than likely broken.

Do not buy refurbished on systems like this. They are work horses out the gate and once the work horse breaks its leg they are put down and then its time for a new one not a refurbished. Refurbished is a work horse who leg has been mended but will never be the same.

As far as I know, it is brand new (refurbished in the factory), but it does not have the full warranty. I got one in July and it`s working perfectly. I have other experiences with refurbished equipment and never had any problem. Maybe it`s interesting to contract a third-party warranty just as an addiitonal protection.

It is supposed to be brans-new, but if you read all the reviews some buyers, especially those who purchased from resellers, received laptops that were packaged as new but which turned out to be refurbished (this also happened with some purchased direct from Amazon -- Amazon made good when it was discovered -- problem is, it often wasn't discovered until the unit went sour and someone had to open it up.

The unit I purchased was new. It still operates well. If you'll recall, I was railing against refurbished units and a reader directed me to a site where new units were available.

Used (as in the case of PC's) means that someone prior to you has operated the device and it remains in the state in which it was in when the prior owner/user shut it off. Refurbished generally means that a reputable technician (either individual or working for a business) has evaluated the device and made necessary repairs and/or changes which bring it back to a like new condition of operation. Some refurbished devices will have updated operating systems and software in addition to updated hardware (boards/chips/etc), while others will include a new case in addition to the hardware/software changes made.
