It depends on the company, honestly. I'd also never buy something refurbished if it didn't come with a warranty.
I got a refurbished 3DS from Gamestop and got the extended warranty, but I haven't had any problems with it so far. *knocks on wood*

If it's from a safe company, i suggest buying it. I only buy from high star sellers.

Apple refurbished products are actually better quality than the original.
They re-do most of the components on the device.
Brand new products only have one review process, but refurbished have two review processes to ensure quality

I have a refurbished XBox 360 that's been nothing short of fantastic despite my years of intense usage.

Yes.
The main thing with buying refurbishished items is to buy from sellers with high satisfaction ratings. If you're not going the Amazon/EBay route, look for the BBB seal.
