A lot of misconceptions surround products labeled as reconditioned, refurbished, and as-is.\u00a0 Reconditioned products are products that have been returned to the manufacturer or a third-party company to thoroughly be checked, taken apart, repaired, put back together, tested, and sold.\u00a0 They are unable to be sold as new without going through the refurbishing process, even if they are in mint condition.\u00a0 Many electronics, large scaled manufacturing equipment, appliances, and electrical goods are sold in this manner.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Purpose of Factory Reconditioning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are a number of reasons that product reconditioning <\/a><\/strong>exists. One reason, consumers will return items that are defective or may have become damaged.\u00a0 Sometimes however there is nothing wrong with the item but once it has been purchased and returned, electric items and manufacturing components can\u2019t be sold as new.\u00a0 Other times equipment and components are becoming obsolete and the only way to have replacement parts for repair is for manufacturers to refurbish components and manufacturing equipment.\u00a0 This is common in transformers, panel switches, and bus ducts & plugs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Reconditioning Process<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Each product reconditioning specialist<\/a><\/strong> has their own set of standards that refurbished products and components need to go through before being resold.\u00a0 Some reconditioned products are sold \u201cas new\u201d which means that they have run through a series of checks and balances to ensure all the issues, cosmetic and functional, are fixed. Other companies disassemble, inspect, repair, reassemble, tests, and then and only then is a product fit for resale.\u00a0 This is often the case in manufacturing and larger scaled equipment like transformers, disconnect, and such.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Advantages with Reconditioning<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Obviously, reconditioning comes with cost savings over\nbuying new. Manufacturers can\u2019t charge the new prices for products that are\nrefurbished.  Prices will vary on\nreconditioned components based on the supplier and of course the product.  As do new products, most refurbished products\noffer a warranty.  It is important to research\nthe warranty and return policy of any reconditioned\/refurbished product you\npurchase. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Difference between Factory Reconditioning and Third-Party\nRefurbishment <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Most often when a product is labeled as \u201cfactory reconditioned\u201d it means that it has been refurbished by either the manufacturer or a third-party that is certified.\u00a0 When you purchase a reconditioned part or equipment you should expect that it has been tested and repaired to meet all of the original standards of a new product. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
