Choosing a Philips Ultrasound Machine
Philips is well-known for its premium ultrasound machines, premium pricing, and loyal customer base. Its higher price point and loyal customer base are somewhat justified, as Philips ultrasound machines are known for their performance, technologies, and excellent image quality. Our top recommendations are refurbished Philips Epiq and Affiniti series of ultrasounds. The image quality is hard to beat, and both have good prices as refurbished systems. The portable refurbished Philips CX50 is Philips' only true portable ultrasound machine, and it is an excellent refurbished portable ultrasound.
Here is our list of the best Philips ultrasound machines in each category. These ultrasound machines were evaluated specifically for their performance, price and reliability. While we are fond of many Philips ultrasounds, some of their products are less than stellar. Probo Medical rents and sells refurbished Philips ultrasound machines at competitive prices. The machines you’ll find here have a good service history, excellent customer reviews, high-quality imaging, and stand out from the rest.
