We have purchased a few Refurbished items and had good luck, specifically the Samsung Soundbar has performed excellent and has been used for countless hours and never had an issue.

I bought a refurbished Samsung Sound bar and have nothing but problems. I have even had the cable company out-and they cannot figure out why it does not work. Will play-but both DVD and cable it goes to black screen and says to check the signal. I am off to Sears to buy a new one.

I bought this product about a month ago. I only have issues with the source. The unit will default to digital in for no reason when I turn on my PS3. Other than that, I've had no issues.

I have purchased many of my electronic devices in a refurbished condition and to this point I have had nothing but great success. When you buy refurbished they still come with a warranty period that gives you the time to make sure your product functions as advertised. So if saving money is important, and getting high quality products is your goal, I feel the risk is well worth it.

I have had good experiences with refurbished devices. You should be aware that it may have slight rubs or marks on it. It has been used. So it may be better for your own personal use as opposed to a gift. However, I have bought refurbished that looked brand new and would challenge anyone to be able to tell it used refurbished.

Yes, I have been buying refils for years. Sometimes I can find them in stores, but this year I found it on amazon when I couldn't find one in the store.

Hey dude.. I could advise you on this as it happened with me.Yes.. it is safe as long as you pay for it through amazon (ie.. no wire transfers/online transfer or other means). The worst that can happen is that you wont get the item delivered by delivery date and then your money will be refunded back which will take about 10 days.This is exactly what happened with me when I ordered an iPhone 4 32GB unlocked at $460 from mattress n more discount furniture source.

You can purchase from any seller and be rest assured that your purchase is secure. Amazon has an A-Z guarantee, and all merchants here follow the rules set aside by AMAZON. Happy Shopping!

They refund the price or value of the item purchased. You then can purchase which ever newer model you decide on .Dave

Be very careful when you buy it. Look at all the conditions of return. My purchase was a disaster for me as this was not appropriate for my use and I could not return so I am stuck.

No. You can go to www.squaretrade.com and see all sorts of warranties for new and refurbished items. Square Trade is the most recommended on Amazon, Google, etc but you don't have to buy it only on Amazon.

When purchase through a consultant you can be guaranteed of its freshness. Purchasing through amazon is 2nd hand - there is no guarantee from the company - you have no idea how old it is or if it has been compromised. Arbonne has very little preservatives and is only guaranteed one year after opened and two years unopened. If you have any reaction or if it's old, you're out of money. Arbonne is sold exclusively through consultants of Arbonne International. Sellers on Amazon have overbought and are selling off inventory. Buy at own risk!! Sally Hallada

You can't be guaranteed it is the same unless you buy directly from the company. You also miss out on the specials and free products and 30 day money back guarantee when you don't buy direct. http://eburns198.nerium.com More info on there!!

I am not sure, as Mary said I would call them and make sure. Also, the place where you are possibly buying from, may have a protection plan too. I would call the company(s) that offer the protection plans and see which one is most likely to offer the better plan.

Try Gov.uk. Accepting returns and giving refunds. The law says the buyer has 6mths guarantee if the goods become faulty for no reason. Not damaged or abused.

I purchased as a gift and the recipient already had one. I would caution against buying this product direct from Amazon as they do not allow returns, claiming "hazardous materials" as the other Answer states. Here's the rub--they direct you to the manufacturer, but Sodastream only accepts returns from people who purchase it on Sodastream.com! This is a convenient Catch-22 that benefits Amazon and the manufacturer. So what's my recourse? Taking a loss on Ebay? This is infuriating, I havent even taken it out of the box, how is not hazardous for me to receive but hazardous for them to receive?

I believe if it was ordered thru a authorized reseller you should be fine. Fine not you could always call them and explain to them what happened. Hope that helps

I think these may be counterfeit, or if not, certainly refurbs. The two I ordered were scuffed up and the one I tested didn't sound too good on eithe end. I sent them back and ordered a different brand. I agree with an Gordon that Amazon is a very high quality Web retailer, and I don't think they knowingly misrepresented this product. They were great about the return...sent me a pre-paid label and everything.
