Beringen, June 2, 2025 — Starting today, Back in Use offers a standard 2-year warranty on all refurbished devices. This makes it the first Belgian refurbished webshop to take this step. While many providers still offer only a one-year warranty, Back in Use consciously chooses a longer warranty period to reinforce trust in the quality of its products.
Refurbished products are becoming increasingly popular among consumers who value sustainability and affordability. However, doubts about the lifespan and quality of these devices remain a barrier. Back in Use aims to eliminate that uncertainty by offering a 2-year warranty on its full range, from smartphones and laptops to tablets.
"We want to show that refurbished can be just as reliable as new, backed by strict quality controls and extensive testing," says Jerry Ickmans, Commercial Director of Out of Use and founder of Back in Use. "At Back in Use, we only offer Premium devices. So the move to a 2-year warranty is a logical step for us. We believe in the quality of our devices and want to offer that same confidence to our customers."
Demand for transparency is growing
The decision by Back in Use aligns with the recent call by Test-Aankoop for more clarity and stricter regulations in the refurbished market. According to the consumer organization, transparency about the quality and lifespan of refurbished electronics is essential to build trust.
Back in Use is committed to providing that transparency by subjecting every device to a strict assessment process and extensive quality controls, all locally in Belgium. According to the company, the 2-year warranty confirms this quality standard.
With the introduction of the 2-year warranty, Back in Use aims to set a new standard for refurbished products in Belgium. While refurbished was once seen as a ‘second choice,’ the company wants to prove that it is a fully-fledged and reliable alternative to new devices.
