What is a refurbished copier? How much are they?

A refurbished copier is a used device, or demonstration equipment refurbished by authorised professionals.

It is therefore a device in which some or all obsolete parts have been renewed, so that it can operate like new. Unlike “traditional” used copiers, refurbished copiers benefit from a complete overhaul followed by a testing and verification phase which eventually allows them to perform comparable to new equipment.

Sometimes stamped with a “REF” label, refurbished copiers may have a parts and labour warranty, lasting from a few months to several years.

Savings achieved when buying a refurbished copier are about 30% to 35% of the price of a new copier. For example, the refurbished version of a new photocopier worth £3,500 may cost only £2,700. 

Opting for a refurbished copier is even more interesting if you want to acquire high-end products. In fact, a new high-volume copier sold for £12,000 may cost as little as £8,500 when refurbished. 

In addition, this solution is environmentally friendly, as providing a second life to IT equipment significantly reduces its carbon footprint.
