Sometimes it is advisable to buy a secondhand or refurbished commercial kitchen, especially when you want a piece unit as soon as possible or when you are running out of capital to invest in new equipment. Before going for an old or refurbished unit one follows some important precautionary guidelines to avoid misbuy
Authentic Source: If you procure the equipment from an authentic source there is always a chance to contact for after-sale support or in the worst condition you can return the goods purchased for a refund
Product Demo: Rather than having a visual check of the unit, it is better to ask for a product-running demo to check the complete working condition.
Actual condition: Whenever you buy a unit, ask for any product damage or missing components. This will not only prevent you from purchasing a damaged product but also help you assess the actual cost of the product.
Buy to replace: A very important aspect of buying second-hand equipment is checking if it is useful for you. If you are buying a replacement, it is quite evident and handy that the product is really useful to you and it is not a waste of money.
Price comparison: Check and compare the price of the unit you are looking to buy. If possible check the cost of the existing new equipment to know if you are the refurbished product at a reasonable price. The thumb rule is half or one-third of the new equipment cost depending upon the condition of the second-hand product
Always remember that refurbished equipment saves a lot of money but a bad buy can eventually get you into a loss of money and hassle therefore we suggest buying from an authentic source or professional sellers only.
