The Difference between Used and Refurbished Copiers

A refurbished copier will cost less than new, and it is not a new machine, so what is the difference between a refurbished and a used copier? While both are great options for a small business that has limited funding, the biggest difference between a refurbished and used copier is that refurbished copiers have been tested and verified to function.

A refurbished copier will be free of defects from the start, whereas a used copier could be defective upon purchase. For that reason, refurbished copiers have often been seen as the next best thing compared to new. Nevertheless, you will still pay a little more for a refurbished copier than what you would a used because they have been tested and verified to work. Copiers in the used market have seen a growing demand. In fact, research suggests that used equipment has become a popular choice with many US companies buying refurbished.
