  • Product should be on every womens cards!

    I have a Philips Visapure product at home and so I have first-hand experience of this product. I have to say that it is really gentle on skin and sensitive skin of that. It is really easy to use and now use it weekly or when ever I have a chance to with 3 little kiddies running around the place. I have already recommended to other’s especially my close girlie friends and I can personally say that my face does feel cleaner and more fresh each time I use it.
    Thanks.

    I am extremely delighted with this product.
    I love that it is so easy to use.
    Is easy to take away and you can go without the charger as it holds charge really well.
    This is certainly a great product and my teenage daughter is hanging out to use it as well.
    Thanks again Phillips!

  • Have just returned from a trip away to visit family in Sydney. Everyone comment on how clean and fresh my face looked and I went on and told them about the Visapure, They couldn’t believe that I had only had it for 3 weeks and so much different. The design is so light and easy to pack away for the travels. Love using the VisaPure everyday so now my face is clean and fresh every day. Very happy reviewer of this awesome product

  • Revolutionary facial cleaner with unbelievable results!!

    Visapure leaves my skin not only feeling but looking the best it has in years, simply combined with my favourite cleanser, I’ve noticed immediate visible changes to my skin, it feels clean, soft and radiant looking.
    My moisturiser is absorbing into my skin bettet and faster which is aiding in keeping my face hydrated and without that tight dried feeling.
    The Visapure is 100% effective in the removal of all traces of makeup,dirt and grease.
    Not to mention the massaging effect the soft bristled, rotating brush has on your face as the Visapure works its magic, simply divine!!
    Working in 20seconds intervals the Visapure prevents overtreatment of individual areas with a slight pause.
    Both the brush and appliance are easy to clean,store and charge with all accessories included and replacement brushes are readily available.
    The Visapureis a revolutionary facial cleaner which leaves manual cleaning a thing of the past.

  • Loving it!

    I’ve been using my VisaPure for 10 days and I am loving it! Who needs to cleanse the old fashion way, when you can use the VisaPure. My face feels so much cleaner, and the brush is so soft and gentle that I don’t get a red face afterwards. I did think at first this was just a gimmick – but I’m so glad I was selected to review this product because it not only cuts my daily cleanse time in half, but actually makes me want to cleanse daily.
    Thanks MoM & Phillips

  • Best Present ever!

    I love this product. I received this as a gift from a friend as she loves hers and she just wanted me to have one too! It wasn’t even my Birthday! I’m a lucky girl that has a awesome friend. I used it all week and found that my skin was glowing. I felt more clean and fresh every time I used it. The brush is soft and not at all prickly just gives me a tickle here and there. I love it. I will be buying one for another friend just to make her day too!

    I got a very similar product to this with a more expensive skin care and its great as I know it will help clean off the makeup at the end of the day and give my face a really good but gentle scrub.

  • not too bad

    When these came on the market, I was initially hesitant. They cost a lot of money and as someone that has has skin trouble and tried a lot of things to find them useless, I was not sure

    Upon advice from a friend, I bought one. Was very surprised. The bristles are very soft, but get very deep into the pores. I use less cleanser now and skin is so soft!

  • Expensive

    As I have only borrowed one and was not able to use it long term I am unable to say how effective it would be long term. I worried about the brush heads on older skin because it left my skin feeling a little sensitive. But what can I say am a sucker for gadgets.

    After using this for a while now, I thought I would get bored with it, or not love it as much. Oh how wrong I was!! It’s so easy to use, leaves my skin feeling soft and clean – and the 3 timed sessions ensures that I get my face clean in no time at all – I still love it!!!! Best product I have used for a long time!!

    Am yet to try this as i use avacado yep real avacado and nivea day and night anti wrinkle creams..This would be a great facial tthougH. And a cheaper alternative to the salons and the likes i guess.Most of the reviews on this one are very positive so this one is definately on my to try list

  • Happy with result

    Have been quite ill with shingles, so I could not post my third review on time. My doctor told me not to use the device while I have the rash on my face as it might make it worse. As soon as it disappears I will be going back to using it daily since it made a big improvement in the look and feel of my skin. Can’t wait.

  • I’d like to start by saying thank you MOM for giving me the chance to try the VisaPure and for arranging the proper charger for me. I love using my VisaPure morning and night and my skin is definitely better for it. The skin on my nose has always been a problem for me being flaky and dry no matter what I tried. It was a problem when I applied foundation because it never looked smooth and natural. I am happy to say it’s no longer a problem my makeup now goes on smooth and perfect. My skin is smooth, soft and looking better by the day. If my VisaPure was to die I’d rush to buy another because i really do love it. 🙂

  • Great Product, results are fantastic

    Have been using the Philips VisaPure for three weeks and I am not one to wear make up during the week and am amazed at how much dirt is on my face, when cleansing with the VisaPure it feels refreshed and sparkly clean, I don’t have a lot of time for my beauty regime during the week and this definitely aids as it is quick and easy, I would definitely recommend.

There was a time when tech was a luxury for kids, but these days, it’s just another booklist essential! From laptops and tablets for school to mobile phones for staying in touch, tech is now just a part of growing up. And the cost can quickly add up, especially when you’ve got more than one child needing a device.

So we’re keen to share our secret to seriously stretching your tech budget without skimping on quality. It’s called eBay Refurbished tech, and it’s the genius way to tick off the kids’ tech needs without paying a premium.

What is Refurbished tech?

eBay Refurbished tech is pre-loved tech like laptops, tablets, headphones, monitors, smart watches and mobile phones that have been professionally checked, cleaned, and tested to make sure they work just like they should. I’m talking about big brands, like Apple*, Samsung*, Lenovo*, HP*, at a much more family-friendly price than purchasing brand new.



It’s all backed by eBay’s trust perks like free shipping**, 1-year warranty**, 30-day returns**, and their Money Back Guarantee**.

Perfect for school, without the premium

Got a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) list from school that made your eyes water? Yep, same. A Refurbished laptop or Refurbished tablet from eBay can tick all the boxes without breaking the budget.
It’s a practical way to get what the school recommends – without having to dip into the emergency fund.

The range includes:

  • Refurbished laptops
  • Refurbished tablets and e-readers
    And when your kid leaves their headphones in the school library again (because of course they did), you can grab a great replacement from the Refurbished portable audio range without the guilt.
  • Refurbished headphones and portable audio

Of course as mums, we want to feel confident before we click ‘Buy Now’, especially when it’s something our kids will be using every day at school. eBay makes it easy to know exactly what you’re getting. Each Refurbished item is listed with a condition label, so you can pick what suits your budget and comfort level:

  • Certified: Like new, professionally inspected, top of the line. Sold by the manufacturer or an authorised reseller.
  • Excellent: Minor signs of use, but fully functional and tested.
  • Very Good: Light wear but still performs exactly as it should.
  • Good: Visible signs of use, still fully tested and working fine.

No matter which of these conditions the tech is assigned, they are all still covered by a minimum one year warranty** and have been rigorously inspected. So whether you want the best of the best, or you’re happy with something that’s seen a few fingerprints, there’s a level that works for every family.

A smarter way to shop

I’m always weighing up cost vs. quality. And with everything money-related feeling a bit tighter lately, it’s a huge relief to find a genuine way to save without sacrificing trust or quality.

eBay’s Refurbished tech range really hits that sweet spot – solid gear, name brands, family-safe prices. No panic when the kids need a device, just reliable tech that performs.
So next time someone drops their tablet or announces they need a new phone for high school, don’t stress. Pop over to eBay and take a look – you might be surprised what you find.

Shop Refurbished tech now at eBay.

  • I’m thinking about getting my son a refurbished iPad for his birthday this year as he will be needed one when he starts school next year and I’m worried with it just being thrown around in his bag and in class that it may not be cared for as much. I haven’t heard anything bad about refurbished devices and they are a lot cheaper

    Reply

  • The other thing about refurbished tech is that – let’s be honest – kids don’t always take care of things. Start them off wiht less expensive tech, and it’s a bit less of a drama when something gets lost or damaged. It’s still not great, but it’s marginally better when it comes to replacement!

    Reply

  • Thanks for sharing this article; it is so important to share knowledge and resources. Tech can be expensive and any saving is indeed an absolute bonus for the family budget. I was not aware of being able to search for and purchase refurbished tech. I will be sharing this information with all of my networks.

    Reply

  • I wish this had been available when my boys were going to school. It would have saved so much scrimping and saving to make sure they didn’t go without at school. It meant we couldn’t go away on holidays because I’d have to keep working to keep up. They were definitely worth it though.

  • My husband is a huge fan of refurbished tech, especially phones. There are a lot of businesses that will supply company phones and replace them for latest models once the contracts are up, which can be as little as 1 year. We have both had great experience with it so I would definitely recommend it

    Reply

  • That is an amazing tip – I had never heard of this before but sounds like a great way to save money! I am hesitant with what tech I allow for my kids. My daughter gets a Chromebook supplied by her school on a rent to buy scheme, so we don’t get a choice in that. She is definitely not at the maturity level yet for a smart phone though, so she only has a Nokia and we have very strict restrictions on her school computer.

    Reply

  • Thanks for sharing your tips.
    I leave it to my husband to research and buy these type of items as he has his own computer repair business and has far more idea of what he is buying. He does refurbishing and upgrading from computers and laptops himself as well and in fact regularly builds computers from scratch upon request from clients.

    Reply

  • My laptop is a refurbished one and I have been using it for years without any major problems. I have had to replace the adapter but otherwise it has been a reliable piece of tech. I would recommend buying from a reputable seller with good reviews.

    Reply

  • can say ive ever purchased something refurbished in tech but its important to do your research into it before buying. it can be a fantastic way to save money for something that will become outdated in a couple years to a newer model. but always be wary of products that are too damaged or come with a bad battery as it’ll cost you more long term

    Reply

  • I have bought a lot of refurbished tech over the years, and have had very few problems. Admittedly I used to use Catch of the Day (which has sadly shut down now). But still, it’s generally been a good experience. I have hesitated a bit to buy tech through eBay because they’re great until there’s a problem.

    Reply

  • I know my daughter is going to need an iPad for school in a couple of years, so i have already started saving for it but this is a great option for those who would like to consider a refurbished one. I have looked at these before but don’t know anyone who has purchased one and i am hesitant to actually buy one without knowing someone who has.

    Reply

  • Overlapping this with end of financial year or boxing day sales and Cash Rewards or Shop Back cash back adds further savings again. I also ensure I list these on my insurance incidentals for if the kids lose them outside of home and back up to cloud to avoid the unexpected bill and lost homework disaster but we have not had to use this yet.
