With the vast majority of us using technology in our daily lives, it is important to have a device that best fits our needs. While smartphones and laptops are perfect for doing specific tasks, a tablet can provide tech fans with the best of both worlds. With their smooth, touch screen design, tablets are great for taking out while travelling as they can seamlessly fit into your luggage without taking up too much space. However, with so many devices on the market, it can at times be hard to find something that boasts the latest tech for a budget friendly price.

Back to the refurbished Amazon Fire Max 11 Tablet , it currently boasts a 4.6 star rating, with the majority of shoppers raving over the high quality of the device they received. One delighted shopper wrote: “Was a bit dubious about buying a refurbished model but I have to say I’m pleasantly surprised!! It works so much better than my old kindle, beautiful sized screen and images. Love it and I saved money so win, win!!” With another five-star reviewer adding: “I decided that it was time to retire my old “FIRE” and replace it with a current model. I chose a refurb 11-inch model to save some cash. The one I received is immaculate. So I’m very pleased with the deal.” However, some shoppers left mixed reviews. One person said: “Very fast and smooth tablet, my daughter uses it for games and loves it. Battery life is very good. Only issue is that you can’t choose which profile to use when you turn it on (adult/child), so if my daughter wants to use it I have to put my password in first.” While another customer noted: “The Fire Max 11 is an excellent tablet. The picture is clean and crisp, it loads very quickly. My only gripe is that there are no examples of which SD card to use to expand the memory. I ended up purchasing two different ones as the first was not compatible.” Despite this, a top reviewer wrote: “I’m knocked out by this Max 11” tablet, I gambled and bought a refurbished model with some trepidation. It was less than half the RRP. The box, contents and tablet arrived in perfect condition, I can’t find a single blemish, in fact I think it’s a brand new unit – astonishing for the price. “I’ve previously owned/used smaller older fire tablets and didn’t expect such a leap in quality and performance, the space grey case is thin, lightweight and up to Apple standards for style. At this price I didn’t expect iPad quality but the screen, speed and interface are really impressive. Highly recommended.” Shoppers can now buy the Certified Refurbished Amazon Fire Max 11 Tablet for 50 per cent off on Amazon.
