Refurbished Vacuum Cleaners

Hi

What do people think about "refurbished" vacuum cleaners? I have always been put off them but a fairly cheap one has come to my attention. It's been refurbished, although they have not got back to me with what has been changed yet.

Thanks

Depends who it's been refurbished by. I know, for instance, Bissell and Dyson sell "factory reconditioned" units that are guaranteed, and are near-as-makes-no-difference good as new. If it's a local "appliance repair man" who knows what he's doing then it's *probably* ok. If it's a man down the pub who's just given it a bit of a clean then I'd be wary

They are a good option normally, most are simply catalog returns or damaged packaging that can't be retailed.

Pressure washers are often sold like this, my Karcher bought for a fraction of new price is over 5 years old now without issue.

Depends on the make, Dysons are made to be repaired, practically every part on it is replaceable, so you could easily build a new Dyson just using the chassis. Other bands not so much.
