Refurbished Sewing Machines
Discount Sewing Machines

For a Fraction of the Retail Price!

Refurbished sewing machines are often available for late model sewing machines and sometimes are also called reconditioned, remanufactured, or simply factory serviced sewing machines.

So what does reconditioned mean? In most cases, reconditioned sewing machines are new machines that were returned by a customer to the store where they bought the sewing machine.

However, in other cases, the sewing machines have never been sold, but have been returned by a store to the wholesaler or manufacturer.

In any case, a sewing machine with one of these labels, has been used lightly—or it may never have been used at all!

By law, such products returned to the manufacturer cannot be sold as new.

Because these sewing machines sell for a lot less than a "new sewing machine", this is a great opportunity for you to buy a discount sewing machine!

What is Done to Refurbish
A Sewing Machine?

Different retailers use slightly different words to describe a factory serviced sewing machine, so you always need to read the description of the machine carefully—especially the warranty!

When a sewing machine is returned to the factory, it is inspected by factory trained technicians and then brand name parts are used to replace any part that is defective.

A reconditioned sewing machine is guaranteed to meet all original specifications and to perform as new. However, it may not look completely new, as the sewing machine may have minor cosmetic blemishes.

A factory serviced product can be sold by the original manufacturer or by a retail outlet that offers a discounted price.

My husband Steve always tries to buy refurbished tools and appliances, as he says they are better than new. He likes the fact that, instead of just coming off the assembly line (new and untested), a refurbished product is tested to make sure that it works and is up to spec.

Steve has never had a problem with a refurbished tool or appliance.

Labels and Descriptions

By law, the product packaging must state if an item is refurbished or reconditioned.

As a result, such items will arrive in a regular retail box with a sticker indicating that the item is refurbished, reconditioned, or factory-serviced, or they may come repackaged in a plain brown or white box (with the same kind of label).

While normally not an issue, manuals enclosed with the machine, may refer to accessories that are not included with the refurbished or reconditioned product.

Make sure you read the product description carefully so that you know which accessories will be included with your refurbished or reconditioned sewing machine.

Benefits of a Factory Serviced
Sewing Machine

Here’s why so many people choose to buy a reconditioned sewing machine:

Refurbished or reconditioned products maintain high quality standards.
Each item is checked for proper working condition and quality. In fact, refurbished or reconditioned goods have a very low rate of return by customers.
The price you pay for reconditioned sewing machines is much lower than the retail price.
In addition to, or instead of, a manufacturer’s warranty, a reputable retailer will guarantee the refurbished or reconditioned item.

So, if you’re planning to buy a sewing machine in the near future, make sure you keep all your options open. (In addition to refurbished machines, you may also want to see what's available in used sewing machines.)

Read the description of a reconditioned sewing machine carefully to make sure that you understand exactly what you are getting and what kind of warranty the machine has.
