A:Answer It means the item was returned for some reason from another customer. The Item was checked, repaired if necessary and is again for sale. It does not usually come in original box and often will not have a manual. (can find this online) I have bought three "refurbished" items, all electronics with 100% satisfaction. My last was apple ear pods. I think usually it is someone not taking the time to learn how to use the product properly, or just changed their mind completely. There is usually a substantial discount so I would give refurbished a try if I were you.
