When you choose to buy a refurbished product, you not only save substantially compared to buying new but you also prevent an unwanted device from ending up in a landfill.
One of the trade-offs to this, however, can mean you may need to compromise the odd surface mark or scratch, depending on which refurbished grade you choose.
To help our customers understand what they will receive for their money, the iOutlet offers a comprehensive grading scale that assesses the cosmetic condition of all refurbished devices.
Below, we will delve into the specific grading scales and provide all the essential details you need to know when choosing a refurbished device.
What is a refurbished grade?
To refurbish a pre-owned device, we subject it to a series of rigorous testing and repair processes to return it to a like-new, saleable condition. Depending on the original condition of the device, some minor cosmetic imperfections may remain.
The better the condition of the device, the higher the refurbished resell price will be. To help you make an informed decision based on your preferences and budget, each device is given a grade on a scale to highlight the overall condition of the device.
Let’s dive into what each grade means to ensure you find the perfect match for your needs:
A+ Grade – Pristine
If you’re in the market for a device that looks and feels brand new, our A+ Grade devices are the perfect choice. These products are in a pristine condition with no visible signs of wear. Whether you’re gifting it to a loved one or treating yourself to an upgrade, you can feel confident that our A+ Grade devices will look and feel like new.
A Grade – Excellent
Looking for a device that offers exceptional quality at a fraction of the cost? Our A Grade devices show minimal signs of wear, such as light scratches or scuffs. But rest assured, they’re still in excellent condition and offer fantastic cost savings.
B Grade – Good
If you are looking for a reliable device that won’t break the bank, our B Grade products offer fantastic value without compromising functionality. While they may show moderate signs of wear across the device, rest assured, they’ve been fully tested and are in good working order. Whether you’re a student on a budget or a casual user, our B Grade devices are a smart choice for everyday use.
C Grade – Average
If functionality is more important than aesthetics, our C Grade devices offer an affordable solution. While these products may show signs of heavy wear, including noticeable scratches or scuffs, they’ve undergone thorough testing to ensure they’re fully functional. Whether you need a backup device or something for basic tasks, our C Grade devices are a reliable and affordable option.
