Do refurbished units run well ?

Absolutely. I bought this a few years ago and I love it. It performs flawlessly.

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.

I could not tell our unit from a new one. To this day, it has worked right along with no problems. The price was really good as well.

Mine was "like new" and I can only say how happy I have been with it. :-)I have purchased a number of refurbished products over the years and rarely - rarely - have I been disappointed!I also know of some that have not worked for friends; but rather than "going back" for another, they chose to go "new."We all have different levels of acceptability or patience. I do expect the units I get to work as if they were new! I understand the "refurbished" moniker and feel it is a great way to "sell" an "almost new" unit. Good luck with yours, if you choose one!

I bought two of them. They run like new and mine looked almost new. A good value for the money. The 1TB unit doubles the memory. You can find them at Walmart.com. I own in total about 9 HDD units. I like them because I can burn what I record to a blank DVD. I don't have cable, just over the air reception.

I ordered a couple of refurbished units. One for myself and a golf buddy. I got a slightly older model and have to enter state and course info every time. My buddy just turns his on and all is good. No big deal- I just kept the wrong unit. They are super units. The best

I have been using it almost every day for over two months and never had that problem. My buddy also got one and he hasn't had any problems with his either. I was leary about buying a refurbished unit too but now I am definitely glad I did.

I have ordered 2 refurbs and they both say REFURB on them. Hope that helps.

I would return it. Not only should they have advertised that it was open-box/refurbished, but they should have offered a healthy discount for it. There's no reason for anyone to pay full price for a used unit.

I purchased a refurbished unit from Tampa Laptops. The unit I received was in no way "mint," as the device had been in-service for a period of time. The unit was well cleaned and had no visible signs of abuse, but by no means would you confuse it for "new." I've had it under daily use for several weeks now and it performs perfectly. One word of caution for anyone buying a Lenovo/IBM laptop via Amazon or its resellers. You cannot count on receiving the exact unit when specified in the item description (e.g. T400 7417-TPU). You will receive something that is functionally similar, but may have variations in specifications. I purchased a refurbished unit from Tampa Laptops.

I bought a refurbished unit and it had, as I remember, a 90 day warrantee.I've had the unit now for over a year and never had a problem!

No. Please see my previous review. In short, I received a bad unit that had obviously been repackaged, probably sent back by another user with the same problem. If you receive a unit with problems like the one I received it isn't going to play well with anything.

Refurbished units usually come with all the same things that the New units do. The difference is that refurbished units are used items that have been returned due to a defect but have now been corrected. What ever the unit comes with will be listed in the description of accessories or specs. Just "compare" a new item to the refurbished, just to be sure. :)

Bought this as a refurbished unit to replace my 15 year old Yamaha receiver. Have had no problems. Love it.

I bought mine only 2 weeks ago and the firmware I have now is dated 8/24/07 and xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-1036. I have not tweaked my settings yet. The defaults are looking very good with free over the air HD channels. Put in HD channels or blueray player or Hd-dvd player, if all look good then just be happy with it.I can't say for sure about the refurbished unit.

So what is your opinion about the refurbished mop? I wouldn't mind one if all the kinks have been fixed.
1981337
yes, but refurbished units have only 90 day's warranty so make sure your's is not a refurbished unit. Once you get the unit, you can call them to register your unit.

I think If the refurbished has Warenty, it is a safer. But if not, you take the same risks. Hopefuly owner of used one is honest about the condition of the item.

I do not believe it does. I've seen some refurbished units on E-bay but not new.

Thank you Peter for your informative reply. Overall, are you happy with this unit?
