Refurbished is right! :(

The refurbished item i received seems to work as intended except for one flaw.  The on-off button is missing making it very difficult to turn the machine on and off.  I have to use a pair of pliers to grab hold of the odd metal piece to turn it on and off.  Otherwise the item i received seems to work as it should.  HOwever, from other buyers of this refurbished seem to have mixed results so do yourself a favor and buy a new version of this

i haven't purchased one yet i've seen a couple units on CL. were selling for 199.00 almost bought one( USED) I'm disappointed to hear about that warranty situation. It should have been handled by the manufacturer. I don't know what state you live in but you should have consumer rights.protection under consumer liability laws. I'm sorry to here what happened.i'm reality excited about this unit from what i've seen & heard. I'd buy one NEW.Its worth a little bit more money to have a factory guarantee. I hope the factory backs their units.before I buy I'll talk with the factory.get the ground rules. my thoughts are if its defective it should be replaced.the factory should take it back.let the factory send it out for repairs.let the factory wait on down time.and sell units as refurbished. where is their dealing in good faith policy.?

Ill continue to use it, but the cord was all messed up and also some of the traction stickers on the bottom has one missing. Definitely felt like a "Used" product rather than a refurb. Refurb means "Used, but fixed so it is like new." Not "Missing some items and has a gash in the cord.

I WOULD NOT recommend refurbished cartridges as the sensor is not reset to indicate that the cartridges are full. They indicate that they are empty. I contacted HP and that is what they told me.

Bought for my MIL, but didn't read this was refurbished.... hope it's okay. My fault for not reading the description more closely.

I guess it wasn't the product fault...it was a refurbished machine that had something overlooked.  I am in the process of sending it back

To me, a refurbished unit should not have Verizon firmware and software on it. Looks like I will have to purchase service from Verizon to get the unit to stop stopping every 5 minutes to remind me that it needs a sim card. As I think about it, I may just try to return it.

On the plus side, the unit was fairly clean, and did boot up.

I think I had a refurbished or used one...it came dead, so returned but from the looks of the mouse, it looks like a pretty basic mouse doing only basic stuff

I finally broke down and sent my previous one in to be looked at. There was a definite problem with it and Amazon replaced it with a refurbished model, although I was hoping they would send me a new one for all the headaches. I am VERY satisfied and have no problems!

Well, it turns out "refurbished" is definitely not "brand new." You can tell this is a used trackball; it's only marginally smoother than the one it was intended to replace, which I've been using for several years now. My advice is to spring for a brand new unit, not a refurbished one.

I received this laptop 2 days ago, was very excited about it. The bottom of the laptop was missing 2 screws out of 4, was kind of odd, but oh well it's a refurb. Tried turning it on, it would shut off after 3-4 seconds. So, I took of the back to see if I can find anything wrong. Guess what?? BOTH MEMORY CHIPS WERE MISSING. It came with zero memory instead of 8 GB. I also noticed that ALL THE screws were missing from the hard drive case, which was the wrong hard drive anyways. I just submitted a refund request.
How can it be a certified refurb if it didn't have memory chips in it and it wouldn't even turn on???

Certified Refurbished??? ! Well,THAT'S NEWS TO ME!  When I purchased this product I did not see a clearly stated message informing me that it wasn't NEW.  I expected to purchase as NEW product.  I should have a choice, which means being clearly informed.  For the price I paid It should have never have been "refurbished"  As you can see, this does not instill trust in this purchase site.  While the product may be fine (I did purchase a 3 yr protection plan!) the fact remains that it was not made clear and up front that it was a used machine.  LOW ratings for the purchase site,not the machine.

Don't buy this thing refurbished. It randomly stops working a couple times per use. Pain in the butt!

Believe or not: "Its refurbished".  It works like a brand new one and it looks like a brand new one. My son loves it.

Just received the Apple Ipad Air.  I have not opened it - my expectations is that it will work just great.

Know what I am really bummed about?  It says APPLE CERTIFIED REFURBISHED nicely printed on the shrink wrapped box!  I bought this for a gift, and I would have told my wife that I got a good deal on a refurbished one, but I didn't like the fact that its on the box!  They could have put the refurbished designation on a sticker, so it can be removed.  Now when she opens it at the party everyone will see APPLE CERTIFIED REFURBISHED!  I just don't feel like this is right.

I didn't notice that this product was refurbished before ordering and now I see it had some scratches and its not working per my expectation.
