YES I would as long as it was from a local dealer with a great reputation and had a good warranty on it. IMHO
It would be like buying a used car try it out before you buy it. Ask questions about what the warranty covers is it a one year warranty from the factory? if not may not be worth it.
Can it be repaired locally or do you have to send to the factory to get repaired? if sent to factory do they pay the charges both ways?
Are both parts and labor or just parts? if it is just parts then no not worth the trouble of a buying a refurbished machine. and always read the fine print!!! I have gotten burned by not reading it!

I want to buy a computerized machine for piecing and general clothes construction. I have a Juki setup for my quilting. The machine I'm looking at is a Brother 5500 and its got a full warranty. Its only a $100.00.
What would you do???
