You really ought to contact Norwalk direct; if they have any used units for sale you’ll get the benefit of a factory warranty. Although the machines are very sturdy and chances are nothing will go wrong, that coverage is a security blanket (I recently became associated with someone on this list who bought a used machine that had to be shipped back to Norwalk for a non-warrantied overhaul; jwnoah can confirm). Don’t be fooled by sellers who offer a warranty of their own; it has nothing to do with the Norwalk factory and given that they have no access to original parts, they can replace defective (or even non-defective) parts with components, e.g., pumps, of inferior quality. There’s also no guarantee they’ll be around in 12 years, either. Be aware!

I should add that the 270 and 275 that are currently listed here sound like good deals.

I did contact Norwalk and they said they had no refurbished or used available and that they were not keeping up with the demand for new machines and had no time to deal with fixing used ones

Oh, wow. It would seem that business is booming. Did you check out the 270 and 275 listed here?

To the best of my knoledge Norwalk is trying to budget time for refurbishing used machines and will try to make them available in the near future.

Very good news..paul
