When it comes to big-name brands it pays to shop around to make sure you’re getting the best price possible for your goods. And there’s one destination that is quickly becoming our go-to for all things discounted and it’s eBay’s refurbished hub.
The premise is fairly simple – when a customer sends back a product that has little or no damage, it’s restored by a brand or retailer so it’s as good as new and it’s then ready to be bought again, in pristine condition.
The circularity of this is particularly good for the environment as it helps to reduce waste. But eBay’s refurbished hub gets better. You can benefit from free shipping, a 30-day return policy, and a 12-month guarantee, as a minimum, of certified refurbished items.
From Dyson to Simba, here we give you the lowdown on what to buy from eBay’s refurbished hub.
Refurbished Dyson on eBay
As one of the biggest names in household products, as well as hair tools, right now, Dyson items do not come cheap, which is why it pays to shop at its refurbished hub.
If you’re in need of a new hair styler, the brand’s airwrap styler (£359.99, Ebay.co.uk) is currently £90 off its original £449 price. The hair tool promises to dry your locks quickly and leave them looking more shiny and healthy. It’s a bestseller and comes with a range of different attachments for making sure you never have a bad hair day again.
Similarly, if you’ve got your eye on one of its vacuum cleaners (us too), you’ll be glad to know that the price of the V10 cyclone absolute cordless vacuum (£3219.99, Ebay.co.uk) has been slashed thanks to being a like-new model. The battery-operated device is said to have powerful suction that works hard on carpets and wood floors alike. It’s also been designed with pet owners in mind, so if you have furry friends, it should make light work of removing their fur.
Refurbished Apple
As tech brands go, Apple needs little introduction. While it has a strong line-up of covetable tech, including iPhones, Apple Watches, and AirPods, its prices don’t come cheap, making the refurbished devices a great choice. If it’s a mobile you’re after, turn to the iPhone 12 (£469.99, Ebay.co.uk) for less than £500, while the slightly larger iPhone 12 pro max (£679.99, Ebay.co.uk) could be yours for under £700. It’s been professionally refurbished and comes with a one-year guarantee.
Similarly, you can snap up one of the popular Apple Watches. The series 5 model (£199, Ebay.co.uk) boasts a range of features, notably, it can be used as a fitness tracker, has a heart rate monitor, and is capable of wireless charging. Buying refurbished is a much more pocket-friendly option than buying one brand new.
Refurbished Shark
Well-known household brand Shark reached new heights when cleaning sensation Mrs Hinch praised its vacuum cleaners. If you’re looking to add one of its cleaners to your bounty, the anti hair wrap cordless pet vacuum cleaner (was £349.99, now £229.99, Ebay.co.uk) is currently 34 per cent off. With 60 minute run time, and powerful suction this is an ideal machine for making cleaning easy. Better still, it boasts anti hair wrap technology, which means it removes hair from the brush so you don’t have to.
If you’d rather not have to charge your vacuum, why not reach for the Shark cylinder anti hair wrap pet vacuum cleaner (was £299.99, now £134.99, Ebay.co.uk), which is said to be powerful and lightweight. The flexible wand bends to help you clean hard to reach spots.
Refurbished Panasonic
If you’re looking to give your at-home cinema an upgrade, look no further than Panasonic’s refurbished hub. This Panasonic TX-40JX800B TV (£249.99, Ebay.co.uk) has a 4K 40in display and built-in surround sound, making it a great choice for any future film nights. And we’d recommend snapping up the Panasonic SC-HTB208EBK soundbar (£62.99, Ebay.co.uk) alongside it, this compact speaker can connect wirelessly to your television and is said to offer clear and enhanced sound. Result.
Refurbished HP on eBay
If working from home has meant you’re in need of upgrading your laptop, there’s a huge range of discounts on popular HP laptops and desktops. Such as, this 14in laptop (£396.75, Ebay.co.uk), which is sold by Currys. It has an 11th gen Intel Core i5 processor, so you can run powerful apps or do multiple things at once on it. It really is a great all-rounder.
