Machine2

how is this machine? they were selling one locally for $1,200 obo. im thinking of it because it seems small.

I haven't owned the machine long enough to know, but it doesn't seem small to me. I think it holds 26 snacks which can be a lot to keep track of.

I paid. $1225 for the machine and location. The machine was approx 70% stocked when I took ownership of it.

not bad, how many cokes? do u know the approx measurement of it? and is it a good location?

I just bought this 5 days ago and is my entry into the biz. All I know is that it is in the teacher's lounge of a local elementary school.

Any updates on how its doing? They r selling one here both machines for $1800 ima try and get it for $800 ish does it work good do u recommend it

well just keep in mind that you are seeking advice from someone that has been in the business for less than one month at the time of writing this..

$800ish sound like a good deal

In the span of a month, I am happy with this machine. It has six soda options, it is hard to count how many are in the machine since they snake up vertically in a labyrinth path. I estimate that it has approx 15 cokes in it right now and could hold about 30 or more.

My coke zero column was low and I manually discharged 7 cans to count them and get a sense for capacity.

At it's current location in an elementary teacher's lounge, it does not appear to be selling a lot of soda. Maybe because it's winter. I'm thinking of putting some canned juice in it, and possibly flavored seltzer water...

Everything seems to be working ok. However, I while servicing the soda side, I noticed that it wasn't really cold, more like cool. I peeked at the inlet side of the heat exchanger and it was completely filthy and fouled. I couldn't see any fins, just a black wall of grime. I don't think that it has ever been cleaned in its entire life. I tried my best to clean it with a wet paper towel, and managed to expose approx 75% of the fins. I made a note to bring a brush and some cleaner the next time that I come back.

Was it hard to service it? They went down to $700

Dude. I'm not answering anymore of your questions about this machine.
