I would like to get my hubby an espresso machine for Christmas. A KitchenAid espresso machine has caught my eye, mainly because it would match my other red appliances. The only problem only factory reconditioned models are available for the particular machine I would like to get. Is this a safe bet? I would not like to receive a machine full of dings and scratches. Has anyone any experience with buying reconditioned appliances from KitchenAid?

Thank you both for your replies, God I love CC, you can ask any question and get an answer so quickly. It is like having an oracle!
You have given me the confidence to go for it, the price is great so it seems silly to pass on it especially since it is RED! I believe red appliances just go faster!

I have 2 reconditioned Kitchen Aid mixers. One of them is 10 years old and works like a charm. The other is 2 years old and works great also. They both looked brand new when I got them.

I also got my reconditioned KA from Amazon. It works fantastically.

Mine is reconditioned also. Ive had it for 3 years, not one problem with it. When I bought mine the bowl had a few dents, I contacted KA and they sent me a brand spankin new one!
