💻 Electronics term
Refurbished
A used device that has been checked, repaired where needed and cleaned so it is ready to sell again. Condition and warranty vary by seller.
Why it matters
Refurbished devices can save a lot of money, but quality depends entirely on who did the work and how they tested it.
🇸🇬 In Singapore
When you buy from a business in Singapore, the Lemon Law gives you remedies if goods are defective at the time of sale, such as repair, replacement or a refund. Always keep your receipt and order records.
Tips before you buy
- Ask what was repaired or replaced.
- Check the warranty length and what it covers.
- Compare the price with a new model before buying.
