If you’re one of the 59 percent of consumers considering buying a secondhand gift to save money this holiday season, according to the National Retail Federation, then you’ll want to check out Amazon. The site offers two programs to buy refurbished items, in categories ranging from smart home gadgets to countertop appliances.

First, the Pre-Owned Amazon Devices program allows customers to shop pre-owned products such as Echo, Fire Tablets, Kindle E-readers, and more. Certified Refurbished Amazon Devices are fully functional pre-owned units that have been tested and verified by Amazon to meet specified product conditions, so they work and look like new. They also are backed by the same limited warranty as a new device.

Second, the Amazon Renewed program offers like-new refurbished, pre-owned, and open-box products such as computers, laptops, smartphones, tablets, cameras, audio devices, home appliances, and more. All products are professionally inspected and tested to work and look like new, and are backed by the Amazon Renewed Guarantee.
