Why should you get a refurbished Bevi machine?

Bevi is on a mission to make the beverage industry more sustainable.

That means eliminating single-use bottles and cans—from offices, dining halls, gyms, hotels, airports, and other commercial spaces—with Smart Water Cooler machines that dispense still, sparkling, flavored, and functional water on-demand. And it means building these machines to last, engineering them to be efficient and easy to service for years to come.

Refurbished Bevi machines finding new homes

We are committed to building a circular supply chain for our product. Guaranteeing older, returned models of Bevi’s water dispensers are evaluated closely, refurbished kindly, and then placed thoughtfully in a new commercial space.

A long time coming

Bevi has been storing decommissioned machines for almost a decade, but the refurbished program only launched two years ago. That’s a long time to sit on the inventory. Worth it, though, as the company’s founders knew from day one that they did not want to discard used machines. Adding e-waste to a landfill? No thank you.

The launch timing depended on several factors: having enough returned machines, a growing customer interest in refurbished products, and the company’s readiness to invest in refurbishment.

Sustainability needs to be financially viable, not just morally right, to work.

Changing corporate demands

During the pandemic, as businesses faced closures and remote work mandates, Bevi saw an unexpected surge in returned machines. These machines were often in excellent condition, providing an ample supply for a refurbishment program. Simultaneously, Bevi was witnessing an increasing number of customers seeking cost-effective solutions due to post-pandemic financial considerations and the rise of mission-driven organizations interested in refurbished options.

Bevi refurbishes over 300 of its water coolers annually

With customers searching for emissions reduction strategies—and the general good sense of reusing materials we’ve already created—Bevi is committed to expanding the refurbishment program each year.

Why get a refurbished Bevi water dispenser?

1. Reduced price point

Refurbished Bevi machines come at a lower cost than our newer models, meaning you can enjoy still and sparkling water with four different flavors and enhancements—which help make hydration more fun and rewarding—at a more affordable price.

2. Consistent quality

Each water dispenser in the refurbishment process goes through rigorous quality checks and meticulous testing to adhere to certification standards. While some units have very minor cosmetic blemishes, we see it as a sign of time well spent in the field reducing the need for single-use containers. (And they work just as well as newer, spotless models.)

3. Standard warranty

Bevi offers its customers the same warranty provided for a brand new machine, assuring a reliable and safe experience with our refurbished water dispensers.

4. Same fizz, flavors, and fun

Even though they’re older models, refurbished Bevi water dispensers can still be loaded with the newest flavor and enhancement releases, always making hydration fresh and enjoyable. Our flavor lab recently released the (wildly popular) Blood Orange, and updated recipes for some of classics, including Lemon and Grapefruit—all of which can be stocked in a refurbished machine.

5. Reduce your carbon footprint

Choosing a refurbished Bevi water dispenser doesn’t mean your environmental impact will be any less. Each machine we produce saves thousands and thousands of bottles and cans annually (measured in 12-ounce servings). Moreover, the user interface on refurbished models is similar to newer models, featuring a real-time counter showing the number of single-use containers saved, along with its equivalent metric tons of CO2 reduced.
