This is an arbitrary grade assigned by the seller only to make you think it’s “just like new”.

A ‘re-furb’ by any other name is still a used unit. Only you can decide if the savings are worrth the risk, but personally I’d get a new unit over a re-furb anytime. It was a little different with the old e200 units; those you could take apart and actually ‘fix’ some things so there was a good chance that with a little fiddling, you wouldn’t end up with a nice shiny black paper-weight. The Fuze isn’t designed to be taken apart, & although it can be done there really isn’t much you can do once you’re in there.

And no, I doubt whether it will be covered under SanDisk’s warranty.
