Thanks for your feedback, as far as I know the ones actually on sale on Innosilicon official website are refurbished by them with a 6 months garanty, curious to know if they are reliable after a refurb from the OEM.
There was this report recently about the 'refurbished' ones. They seem to be more in the condition of 'heavily used, packed and sent off' instead of 'refurbished'.
Innosilicon is offering "manufacturer refurbished" T3+ and other miners.
I ordered a T3+ 57T Bitcoin miner.
I had to wait for 4 weeks after I paid in full in Bitcoin until they shipped it out.
When it arrived it was in horrible condition:

The firmware was locked and I was not able to enter my own pool settings.
There was plenty of evidence that this miner was not manufacturer refurbished, not even cleaned. Otherwise at least the firmware would have been reset.
Innosilicon has 3 departments: while the support is trying to help to unlock the miner, the sales and order team tells me:
"This is what you get when you order from us. Deal with it!"
