demo unit
Showroom floor example
A demo unit is a product used for demonstration purposes rather than sale—typically displayed in stores so customers can see and test features before buying.
Demo units may be discounted when eventually sold, often showing wear from handling: They got 20% off because it was the demo unit.
The term appears frequently with electronics, appliances, and vehicles.
