dougncin Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 What Snack machine would you buy? I am looking for something with some bells and whistles but also a work horse. Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacapa Vending Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Depends on the account... A good account: (100+ Something with duel coils and drop sensors (national 167 or a newer usi) A medium size acount (50-100 employee) maybe a AP 7600 converted to mdb or a national 147 Anything smaller then 50 employee = waste of time Find the location first before you buy a machine. Each and every location is different. This is simply my opinion, many others may suggest different machines based off their personal experiences.

Bvending Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 I agree, it depends on location. 167/168 are all around great machines imo. I use them for larger and nicer locations I also put out a lot of refurb national 147, and ap 112/113 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allprovending Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Personally I prefer USI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacapa Vending Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 I like usi but in my experience buying parts is a pain as every different model seems to use different vend motors. Also t o install credit card readers I had to buy a $275 programmer to update the software.... other then that they are solid and easy to navigate through and set-up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozvendor Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 AMS hands down in my opinion. All of the ones I have just keep on working with almost no issues. Easy to set up and program plus well supported for parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orsd Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 AP 7600 +UCB from vendors exchange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bvending Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 AMS hands down in my opinion. All of the ones I have just keep on working with almost no issues. Easy to set up and program plus well supported for parts. I bought 9 new AMS about 4 years ago and I will agree, almost no issues. They are set up for anything you want to add. For most accounts I buy refurbished national or ap. But next time I buy new it will be AMS..you can't beat what u get for the price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bvending Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 I use The Vending Center Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tc vending Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 I prefer USI, the vending center is a good company. Craigslist can be helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KychrisKy Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 I like the dual coil setup on the bottom shelf for pastries on the usi machines Craigslist is where I've found all my machines Just do a machine checkout before u buy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJT Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Can never go wrong with USI, AMS, or Crane National. To my knowledge USI is the only company to offer in house "factory refurbished" machines. Any other refurbished will have to be bought through a third party.
