Open Box/Refurbished Buys Explained

Hey guys! It’s Joshua with Poolbots.com. And today we are taking the mystery out of Open Box and Refurbished Buys! Both Open Box and Refurbished Buys mean that the robot bot has been sent to a customer, but there is a key difference between the two.

Open Box Buys

Open Box buys are always in near mint condition. They come with all of the original packaging and the same warranty, but since they have been in the water they can’t be sold at full price.

Refurbished Buys

Refurbished buys also have minimal wear, less than 10 hours on vital components. Refurbished units may have a few more minor scratches and dinks. When these are returned, they are cleaned up and buffed to remove as many signs of wear as possible, and then repackaged with the same warranty and box items. Poolbots is one of the only sellers than offers the full warranty on both Open Box and Refurbished robots.

Conclusion

So there you have the difference between Open Box and Refurbished buys, so you can save a few bucks! As always, you can read real reviews and learn more about dozens of robotic pool cleaners at poolbots.com. Visit our website and YouTube to find the best deals, tips, and tricks for pool ownership, and special buys that’ll help you enjoy your pool to its full potential.
