I bought my T6S and my 80D, plus at least six different lenses from the Canon refurb store. All were in like new condition, both cosmetically and functionally, and all included all factory documentation.  I never needed to use the one year warranty they came with, since I never had any issues with any purchase.

I recently bought a Nikon P900 from Nikon's refurb store.   That camera came with absolutely no documentation, and had a defective lens.  Nikon does not do in house repairs, so it went out to an authorized service center.  They were good, and I got the camera back quickly with a replaced lens.  Overall, I was not impressed with Nikon and can't believe any testing was done to this camera before it was repacked as a refurb.
