New, Second Hand or Reconditioned Catering Equipment
Why should you choose new or reconditioned?
New catering equipment will come with a full warrantee and will give years of life if serviced and looked after properly. Poorly looked after equipment can after a short time be in a poor condition and will soon be giving trouble.
Reconditioned or second hand catering equipment will also give years of service if bought from a reliable source that prepares, clean's and services the equipment, prior to sale, and will normally come with a warrantee. Reconditioned catering equipment will also give trouble if it is neglected and not cleaned regularly.
So what do you choose? Neglected, new or reconditioned, equipment will after a short time will be worth the same amount of money if resold. New or second hand catering equipment if looked after and serviced and cleaned properly will also be worth about the same if sold after a few years of use.

equipment will be the capitol cost. Secondhand equipment can normally be bought for 25 to 50% of new prices and both will be worth the same after a few years in service. If you are considering setting up a new business whch involves buying catering equipment weigh up the options before you buy.
