"Refurbished":
You've probably returned a product just because you didn't like its color or because you didn't have enough room for it. Such products are often "refurbished" by the manufacturer. They are inspected by a certified technician, serviced and cleaned if necessary, and certified to meet all original specifications. Many "refurbished" products are covered by manufacturers' warranties. If a product is not covered by a manufacturer's warranty, it has typically been refurbished by a third party, which then also provides the warranty. Warranty lengths and terms vary on refurbished products, so please check each product carefully. Some "refurbished" products are shipped in brown boxes.
