refurbished
Made like new
Refurbished describes something restored to good condition after previous use or damage.
The term appears most often with electronics and appliances: a refurbished laptop, a refurbished phone.
Manufacturers or third parties clean, repair, and test items before reselling them at a discount.
I bought a refurbished espresso machine for half the original price.
The word implies professional restoration rather than casual repair.
