GreenIT is one of Ireland's largest and longest-running refurbishers of IT hardware. Every device is securely data-wiped first, then put through a 400-point software test that flags faults like weak batteries, dead keys and failing ports, and we replace any faulty component.

Cosmetic refurbishment follows where it's needed, from keyboard reskinning to trackpad and case refinishing, bringing each unit up to Premium or Excellent grade. All Windows machines ship with a fresh Windows 11 operating system. Read our full refurbishment process.

A refurbished device is a pre-owned machine we've restored to full working order. Every LEGO Education SPIKE ESSENTIAL Set is securely data-wiped and put through a 400-point software test, and any faulty part is replaced, so it works like new. Some devices arrive in great cosmetic shape and are graded and sold as they are; others we restore through our refurbishment process, finished to our Excellent grade. We've been doing this in Ireland since 2010 and we're a Microsoft Registered Refurbisher, so the software is genuine and properly licensed. The result is a device that works like new for a lower price, and one less machine sent to landfill. See our full refurbishment process for a step-by-step look.

A refurbished LEGO Education SPIKE ESSENTIAL Set from GreenIT is great value, often well below the price of new, and it comes with real support behind it. Every device includes a minimum 12-month warranty, 30-day returns, and fast delivery, so you can buy with confidence and make sure it's right for you. We're one of Ireland's largest and longest-running refurbishers, with more than 500,000 devices restored since 2010. You save money, you get a device that works like new, and you help keep working technology in use for longer.

The saving comes from the device being pre-owned, not from any shortcut in quality. Once a machine has been opened or used, it can't be sold as new, even when it's in excellent condition. We source these devices, test and prepare every one, refurbish the ones that need it, and pass the saving on to you. Doing this every day since 2010 makes the process efficient, which is how a refurbished LEGO Education SPIKE ESSENTIAL Set can be much cheaper than new while still coming with a minimum 12-month warranty.

Our grades describe how a device looks, not how it works. Every laptop, tablet and Chromebook is fully tested and works like new whatever its grade, so you can pick the look and price that suit you.

Grades run from Premium (pristine, as-new, on our remanufactured range) down through Excellent, Very Good and Good, each step showing a little more gentle wear from everyday use. Anything we refurbish ourselves is finished to Excellent. See our refurbishment process for the full breakdown.

Changed your mind? You have 30 days from delivery to return your LEGO Education SPIKE ESSENTIAL Set for a full refund, for any reason. Return it in the condition it arrived, with any accessories it came with, and once it's back with us and checked, we'll sort your refund. If you'd like a hand getting started, our team is happy to walk you through it. You'll find the full details on our returns page.

Every LEGO Education SPIKE ESSENTIAL Set comes with a minimum 12-month warranty. It covers technical faults that aren't caused by accidental damage or normal wear, such as a device that won't switch on, can't find a network, or a speaker that's stopped working. Batteries are a little different. Because a battery naturally wears with everyday use, and how long it lasts depends a lot on how the device is used, it isn't covered by the standard warranty. We do test every battery before it ships to make sure it holds a healthy minimum charge, and if you're not happy with the battery on a device you've bought recently, get in touch and we'll do our best to help. For the full terms, see our warranty page.

Every LEGO Education SPIKE ESSENTIAL Set goes through the same checks before it reaches you. We securely data-wipe the device first, then run a 400-point software test that flags issues like weak batteries, dead keys and failing ports. Any faulty component is replaced. Devices that need cosmetic work are restored through our refurbishment process and finished to our Excellent grade, while those already in great condition are graded and prepared as they are. Windows machines then ship with a fresh Windows 11 install. As a Microsoft Registered Refurbisher with more than 500,000 devices restored since 2010, we hold every LEGO Education SPIKE ESSENTIAL Set to the same standard. You can see each stage on our refurbishment process page.

We deliver through our shipping partner, DHL. Once your order is fulfilled, we aim to have it with you within 1 to 2 working days.

Delivery time depends on fulfilment. Most items are in stock and dispatch quickly. A few are held in remote stock and take 5 to 10 working days to reach us first; once they arrive, they move into the standard 1 to 2 working day delivery. For full fulfilment, lead and shipping times, see our delivery information.

We want you to buy with confidence, so every device comes with a minimum 12-month warranty as standard. If something goes wrong with the hardware, and it's not down to accidental damage or everyday wear, we'll put it right by repairing or replacing it, at no cost to you. Not sure whether a fault is covered? Just get in touch and we'll help you work it out. You'll find the full details on our warranty page.

Changed your mind? That's no problem. You have 30 days from delivery to send your device back for a full refund. Just return it in the condition it arrived, with any accessories it came with, and once it's back with us and checked over, we'll get your refund sorted. If you'd like a hand starting a return, we're happy to walk you through it. Full details are on our returns page.

If something isn't working as it should, we're here to help. For warranty repairs and replacements, open a ticket through our repair centre and our team will take care of the rest. For anything else, whether it's a quick question or you just need a bit of guidance, you'll find all the ways to reach us on our contact us page.
