If you want to compare it against the other models, the refurbished Nintendo Switch hub has them all in one place. Take a look at what is in stock below.

The standard Switch is the model most people picture when they think of the console. It docks to the TV for play on the big screen, lifts out for handheld gaming on the move, and props up on its stand for tabletop multiplayer, all with the same set of games. That flexibility, plus a library that covers everything from party games to big single-player adventures, is why it remains such an easy console to recommend, and refurbished makes it better value again.
Each console is fully tested, cleaned and graded before it goes on sale. You will see the grade on every listing, from A+ Pristine down through A Excellent, B Good and C Grade, so you can decide how much cosmetic wear you are happy with and pay accordingly. A lower grade performs exactly like a top one, it just carries a few more marks from its previous life.
If you play mostly in handheld and want a better screen, the refurbished Nintendo Switch OLED is worth the step up, and if you only ever play handheld, the cheaper refurbished Nintendo Switch Lite is the most affordable way in. For the latest hardware, the refurbished Nintendo Switch 2 is the newest generation.
Buying refurbished rather than new saves you money and keeps a good console in use rather than sitting in a drawer. Every one is checked over properly before it leaves us, so it is a machine we would be happy to game on ourselves.
The standard Switch docks to the TV and plays handheld or on its stand. The Nintendo Switch OLED is the same idea with a bigger, brighter screen and more storage. The Nintendo Switch Lite is a smaller, cheaper handheld-only version that does not dock to the TV. All three play the same games, aside from a handful that need TV or controller modes the Lite lacks.
Yes. The standard Switch comes with a dock that connects it to the TV, so you can play on the big screen and then lift the console out for handheld gaming. This is the main practical difference from the Lite, which is handheld-only and does not dock.
Yes. It plays a huge library of games, works three different ways, and suits everyone from solo players to families. A refurbished one costs less than new and has been fully tested and graded before sale, so you get the savings of buying used without the risk of buying privately.
Each console is graded so there are no surprises. A+ Pristine looks close to new, A Excellent has very light wear, B Good shows some visible marks, and C Grade carries more noticeable signs of use. Whichever grade you choose, the console has been fully tested and works the same. The grade only reflects how it looks.
