I started out with ultravend.  That was 8 years ago.  The original six machines are still in the same location they started out in.  Since then we added another 6 ultravends and all of the machines are still operating and none have ever broken down or had to have parts replaced.  I know a lot of vendors do not like this brand of machine, but they have done very well for me.

I have no idea, but the the machine heads make great flower pots

In the beginning, I too purchased some of those machines.  I still have two on location, but there time is coming due.  The rest of them are long gone, the ebay way..

Buying my first machine, felt like buying my first car

I had preferences, but the cost versus quality ratio influences me after a while.

First vending machine I bought was a Northwestern gum ball machine, 1 head.

I have a list uturn provide me when I bought the machines but at times I adjust when needed.  Let me know if you want additional information.

[antoniocinisi]

well  u shouldn`t go with what they recomend at all.they dont figure in for commission or charity stickers.always go 1 or 2 less for each candy.for pmm I use 5 instead of 9 like they recomend.use 1 for skittles mm reeses pieces.use 2 for mike ike and hot tamales.

they give way more then the recomended serving size.if you do a search you will be able to find on here how many pieces to vend for each candy for a quarter.

It was going to be Seagas, but after I ordered my first one, I found 4 used Oaks at my local feed sotre, so they are my first.

I had to think very much about the kind of machine I would use. The options I had were Eagle, Beaver and NW. And of course I started with NW, for me they are the best in the market here in MX.

Vendstar, but I was young and dumb and didnt do enough research. I paid 179.99$ for my first machine, but I havnt paid over 40$ per machine since! Doing your homework sure does save you a lot of money!

I bought three Chinese Seaga Millenia knockoffs. I also didn't do enough research, but overall I've been happy with them.
