AZVendor Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 It sounds like you're new to vending, and welcome to the forum by the way! You're going to be jumping in with both feet and you don't want to drown, so don't get the Royal Vision Vendor. It will give you too much trouble. The AMS is a good choice or even a Dixie Narco Bevmax without an elevator would work. The AMS snack you're asking about sounds like you might be comparing an AMS chilled machine like a 39-640, or a later model Wide Gem which is not chilled. If you don't need to keep snacks from melting then don't waste your money on a chilled snack machine. It also sounds like you might be looking at new machines which is a quick way to not make any money in vending, especially in your first account. Look for good used machines for your first account.

rmorris1953 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 AZ is correct. New USI's are to complicated. USI hard to work on for a newbie. AMS is ok but electronics is complicated also. Royal Vision not that dependable but parts are cheaper. Used AP'S 113, LCM, Studios and 123's are the best. D/N glassfront 5591 are decent and the BevMax 4 is outstanding. Stay away from BevMax 2 and 3's. Vendo 621, 721's are the best for stack vendors if going new. D/N 501-E's for used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to be in a sports training place by front door. Please help As a direct answer to your question, most of us would consider the AMS to be the better machine when compared to a USI. The Royal Vision 500 is also a good machine but most people prefer the Bevmax IV. You'll often find that the narrower machines cost more even though they hold less - production costs are higher per unit because they don't make as many of them - get the biggest machine that will fit in your allotted space ALWAYS.
