Hidden Gems in Renewed Office Products: Smart Refurb Finds

Beyond graphing, this calculator packs 9 hypothesis tests, 6 confidence interval functions and one-way ANOVA, which makes it quietly useful for stats courses, not just algebra. Sequence mode even draws cobweb and phase plots. Buyers say it helps in college algebra and is easy to use, though some received units with dead buttons.

The overlooked trick here is building labels straight from text in Word, Excel, Outlook and Google Contacts, so address lists become labels without retyping. Direct thermal printing means no ink or toner, and it prints up to 71 four-line labels per minute. Customer sentiment is mixed, so lean on the Renewed Guarantee if needed.

Rated for up to 4,000 scans a day with an 80-sheet feeder, this is a workhorse rather than a casual desk scanner. It handles 60 pages per minute in color or mono and scans both sides in one pass at 600 DPI. Reviews are split, with some finding setup difficult and others reporting units that did not work.

The 2-inch print width suits barcodes, small labels and even wristbands, a niche use most office label printers ignore. Its compact footprint fits cramped retail or clinic stations, and direct thermal printing skips ribbons and toner. USB plug-and-play connects to PCs and POS systems.

Print, copy and scan in one compact laser unit that prints from phones and tablets over Wi-Fi via the HP Smart app. Customers praise its print quality, speed and small footprint. Some note setup is a pain and that you need to join HP's website or app.

Customers like this printer a lot, and its hidden strength is PromoPRNT, which automatically prints promotions alongside receipts. futurePRNT software adds logos, coupons and word-triggered ads, while a patented De-Curl function keeps receipts flat. Bluetooth pairing works with iOS, Android and Windows.

USB on-the-go lets you share files calculator-to-calculator and connect to PCs, and 21 apps come preloaded. The split screen lets you trace a graph while scrolling table values. Buyers like it for math classes, but some report units that will not turn on or weak batteries.

HP Wolf Pro Security settings come preconfigured, and a single dashboard monitors multiple printers, which is rare at this tier. It prints up to 42 pages per minute with auto duplex and automatic jam recovery. HP pitches it for teams of up to 10 users.

Support for 16 VoIP accounts, a 4.3-inch color display, AC Wi-Fi and dual gigabit Ethernet with PoE make this a capable desk phone. The listing notes it may arrive Verizon-branded with open SIP Yealink firmware, and no power adapter is included, so plan on PoE. Buyers praise build quality, though some report units that did not work.

Built-in Ethernet lets the whole office share it, and optional PIN/pull printing keeps sensitive pages from sitting in the tray. It prints up to 40 pages per minute with auto duplex and a 250-sheet input tray. HP says it uses up to 18% less energy than prior models.
