Fully automatic
De’Longhi’s U.S. limited warranty for fully automatic coffee makers is two years of parts and labor from the purchase date. Repairs go to an authorized service center.
De’Longhi Refurbished
De’Longhi Refurbished Espresso Machines: What to Know Before You Buy
A refurbished De’Longhi can come through different refurbishers and sellers, so the label alone does not tell you what process, warranty, or support applies. Start by confirming the exact model, who refurbished it, who is selling it, and what coverage comes with that machine.

Direct availability
Does De’Longhi sell refurbished machines in the U.S.?
De’Longhi USA maintains a refurbished coffee machines section (opens in a new tab) in its manuals library, and it publishes support pages for refurbished model identifiers that end in “-second”, such as the Magnifica Start ECAM22022B-second (opens in a new tab). Not every U.S. code has one.
Its U.S. refurbished fully automatic category (opens in a new tab), however, showed no products when we checked. Direct inventory may come and go, so treat the store as something to check, not a dependable source.
What it means for you: if a listing gives a “-second” identifier, you can look it up in De’Longhi’s official documentation before you buy. That shows De’Longhi documents the model. It does not tell you who refurbished the unit in front of you or what warranty the seller provides.
Some De’Longhi pages describe “Renova”, the name De’Longhi uses for refurbished machines outside the U.S. We have not found Renova warranty or return terms published for U.S. buyers, so do not assume they apply.
Refurbisher matters
What “refurbished” can mean on a De’Longhi listing
These labels are not interchangeable. Each one changes who is responsible for the warranty, the returns, the inspection, the accessories, and the cosmetic grading.
| Label you may see | What it tells you | What to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Refurbished model with official documentation | De’Longhi publishes manuals and support pages for some refurbished identifiers ending in “-second”. | That the identifier on the listing and the machine matches the official support page. |
| Retailer-refurbished | A retailer restored or resold the machine under its own terms. | Who did the work, whose warranty applies, and the retailer’s return policy. |
| Third-party or marketplace refurbished | Another business refurbished it, and the marketplace may not be the seller. | The refurbisher, the actual seller, and whether either is a De’Longhi authorized reseller. |
| Open-box | Often a returned or display unit; the label alone does not say whether it was restored. | Whether it was inspected or repaired, and which accessories are missing. |
| Used | A previously owned machine sold as-is or with seller notes. | Whether any warranty applies at all. De’Longhi’s warranty excludes private-seller and auction purchases. |
Why the details matter: one U.S. retailer listing we reviewed described its refurbished De’Longhi’s warranty both as supported by De’Longhi and as the retailer’s own warranty, and showed different model numbers in its title and specifications. Ask the seller before you buy.
Warranty
Which warranty actually applies?
De’Longhi says warranty details are in the manual or an insert in the box, and that length depends on the machine type.
Manual espresso
Manual espresso machines (BAR, EC, and ECP models) fall under De’Longhi’s one-year limited warranty. Capsule machines have separate warranty documents.
Where you buy
The warranty (opens in a new tab) covers only machines bought from De’Longhi or an authorized reseller or distributor. It excludes auction, private-seller, and non-authorized online purchases, and machines repaired or altered outside De’Longhi’s factory.
De’Longhi advertises an extra warranty year when you register a coffee machine, with exclusions it does not list. Do not assume a refurbished or marketplace purchase qualifies, and do not assume an Amazon listing includes De’Longhi’s warranty unless the listing shows it.
Seller check
Why authorized sellers matter for refurbished buyers
De’Longhi’s Where to Buy page (opens in a new tab) warns that buying from unauthorized retailers may mean receiving counterfeit, used, or defective products and could void its limited warranties. It says authorized retailers sell merchandise without alterations by unauthorized third-party resellers.
What it means for you: a refurbished machine has, by definition, been worked on after it left the factory. If you are counting on De’Longhi’s own warranty, confirm the actual seller is authorized and get the warranty terms in writing. If the coverage comes from the seller or a third-party plan instead, treat that as the warranty you are buying.
Terms side by side
Refurbished vs. new De’Longhi
Where refurbished terms vary, they vary by listing and seller. We do not generalize them.
| Decision point | Refurbished De’Longhi | New De’Longhi |
|---|---|---|
| Condition | Varies by listing and seller grading. | No prior use when genuinely sold as new. |
| Refurbisher | Varies. The listing should name it. | Not applicable. |
| Warranty | Varies by seller. Confirm who provides it and for how long. | Per the documents in the box. De’Longhi’s fully automatic warranty is 2 years; manual espresso is 1 year. |
| Return policy | The actual seller’s policy. | The actual seller’s policy. |
| Included accessories | Varies. Compare with the official manual. | As listed in the official manual. |
| Official support | Check the support page for the exact identifier. | Check the support page for the exact model. |
| Seller responsibility | The seller or refurbisher, unless De’Longhi coverage is shown. | De’Longhi’s warranty, if bought from De’Longhi or an authorized reseller. |
| Price | Varies by listing. | Varies by listing. |
Machine architecture
Not every refurbished De’Longhi has the same things to inspect
De’Longhi’s lineup spans fully automatic, manual, and capsule machines. What you should test depends on which systems the machine has, so model-specific checks belong in model guides, not in a brand-wide failure list.
Fully automatic machines
Models such as the Magnifica Start and Magnifica Evo combine a built-in conical burr grinder with a brewing unit. The Magnifica Start uses a manual milk frother; the Magnifica Evo version we checked has an automatic one. More automated systems means more to test on arrival.
Manual espresso machines
The La Specialista Arte is a manual machine with a built-in conical burr grinder, filter baskets, and a steam wand. You control the shot, so the checks focus on the grinder, the portafilter, and the steam wand. De’Longhi’s manual espresso warranty is 1 year.
Capsule and other machines
De’Longhi also makes Nespresso and Lattissima capsule machines and drip coffee makers, each with its own warranty document. A refurbished capsule machine has no grinder to inspect, so a grinder checklist does not apply.

Second-owner context
Service support matters on a refurbished machine
De’Longhi says it does not recommend owners repair their own machines (opens in a new tab). It points in-warranty units to an authorized service center (opens in a new tab) and out-of-warranty units to a local repair shop.
For fully automatic machines and La Specialista Arte, Prestigio, and Maestro models, De’Longhi also sells an out-of-warranty repair service (opens in a new tab), purchased by model. It includes prepaid shipping both ways, diagnostics, parts and labor, a safety and performance test, professional cleaning, and descaling, with six months of coverage on the repair for the same defect. Units are evaluated on arrival, and De’Longhi says it will offer other options if a repair is not possible.
De’Longhi’s support page (opens in a new tab) asks for the product name, model number, serial number, and proof of purchase with the date and place of purchase. It sends parts and accessory orders to De’Longhi’s spare-parts channel (opens in a new tab).
What it means for you: on a refurbished machine, the paper trail is part of what you buy. Record the model and serial number and keep the receipt from day one. Before buying, check that the exact model has an official manual (opens in a new tab) and a support page, and whether official out-of-warranty service covers it. Do not assume every part is sold separately.

Buying checklist
What to verify before buying a refurbished De’Longhi
Save the listing and seller terms you relied on. The De’Longhi name alone does not tell you who refurbished the machine or what coverage applies.
The exact model number, not just the family name. Magnifica, Dinamica, and La Specialista each cover several models.
Who refurbished it: the listing should say whether it was the manufacturer, the retailer, or another refurbisher.
Who is actually selling it. That matters for the return policy and for De’Longhi warranty eligibility.
The warranty: who provides it, and for how long.
The return policy of the actual seller.
Included accessories, compared with the official manual for that model.
Cosmetic condition, and how the seller grades it.
Official support: whether De’Longhi still publishes manuals and a support page for that model.
Repair and service options, especially for fully automatic machines.
The machine type: fully automatic, manual, capsule, or other.
