Our reputation depends on being honest with you.

06 Our Review Process

When reviewing products on Refurbito: Testing: We personally test most products we review. When we haven't tested a product ourselves, we clearly state this and base our assessment on extensive research, manufacturer specifications, and verified customer reviews. Selection: We choose products to review based on reader interest and relevance, not affiliate commission rates. We often review products with lower commissions because they're better value for our readers. Updates: We update our reviews when products change or when we have new information. Prices and availability are subject to change, so always verify current details on Amazon.

07 Important Disclaimers

Product Information: While we strive to provide accurate information, the prices, condition details, and availability of refurbished devices change constantly, often several times a day. Always verify current details directly on the retailer's website before making a purchase. Condition Grades and Grading: Labels such as "Like new", "Very good", or "Good" are not standardized. Each retailer defines its own tiers, so the same label at two providers can mean a different actual condition. Check the specific description and the return terms before buying. Warranty and Guarantee: Refurbished devices sold in Germany are covered by statutory warranty; many retailers additionally offer a voluntary guarantee of 12 to 36 months. The exact terms differ by retailer and device and are binding only as stated by the provider. Battery Health: On smartphones, tablets, and laptops the remaining battery capacity varies. Many reputable retailers guarantee at least 80 percent, but not always. Check the stated battery health before you buy. No Guarantees: Comparison verdicts and recommendations reflect our honest opinion based on publicly available information. Individual experiences with a used device may vary. We cannot guarantee that any offer will meet your specific needs. Savings Figures: Figures such as "up to 40 % cheaper than new" are guide values. Actual savings depend on the model, the chosen condition, the timing, and the new price. Always compare on the same basis and factor the warranty period into your calculation.
