The refurbished Konica Minolta bizhub 227 is a versatile unit that delivers sharp output, solid reliability, and workflow flexibility — making it suitable for offices, institutions, and workgroups throughout South Africa.
At KM Connect SA, the emphasis is on helping organisations understand the elements that influence the purchase price of a refurbished device and guiding you toward the acquisition strategy that best supports your business goals.
What Determines the Cost of a Refurbished Printer?
Rather than focusing on a specific figure, it’s important to understand the factors that influence what a business should expect to invest when purchasing a refurbished Konica Minolta bizhub 227 through KM Connect SA:
- Condition and refurbishment standards: Each unit undergoes professional testing and servicing to ensure performance and reliability.
- Service and support packages: Warranty options and maintenance agreements strengthen long‑term value and uptime protection.
- Printer configuration: Optional enhancements like additional paper trays or finishing tools may affect value and functionality.
- Delivery and installation across South Africa: Efficient setup tailored to your site helps integrate the printer seamlessly into your workflow.
- Ongoing support agreements: Structured maintenance plans reduce the risk of unexpected repair costs.
Understanding these components empowers South African businesses to evaluate value beyond the upfront number and focus on long‑term performance and productivity.
Buying vs Leasing: Choosing What Works Best
When acquiring a refurbished Konica Minolta printer through KM Connect SA, your business can choose between buying the unit outright or leasing it through flexible terms. Each option offers strategic advantages depending on your financial planning and operational priorities.

Dealer insights: the bizhub 227 in our service department
Who we see buying this model. The 227 is our starter mono machine: small offices, reception areas and second machines placed beside a bigger unit. Buyers asking for it usually know the model by name, often from running one before, and it is regularly ordered in pairs for branch offices.
What to know before you choose it. Ask about stand and cabinet options with your quote; several buyers have added the cabinet and extra trays after delivery, and bundling them upfront costs less than a second site visit.
How it compares to the next tier. Offices growing past roughly 2,500 pages a month are better served by the bizhub 287, which is the same machine family with more speed and paper capacity.
A question we field often. “Can you quote two units together?” Yes, quantity quotes on the 227 are common and priced with a volume discount.
