Best machines for M&M+Skittles

[rakusa]

What are the best manufactured machines for M*M Peanut and Skittles for vending and price of a two/three head machine?

Suggestions on where to buy?

How much would the cost to fill be and net profit for each?

TIA!

If you aren't necessarily wanting brand new machines you can pick up some used 1800's pretty cheap on ebay and Craigslist. If you really want to save some money you can go with Vendstars for triples. 1800's or Vendstars are reasonable for triple head machines. Vendstars are a cheaper quality low end machine and the 1800's are much better quality. As far as doubles I will let other forum members respond to that one.

It really is a matter of preference. I have several types of machines some new some used. Some needed a lot of cleaning / refurbishing and some are cheaper brand machines. I have learned that it doesn't matter at all what kind of machine you use as long as you keep them as clean as you can, well stocked and they look well mantained, people will put quarters in them.

I would recommend buying used or "new" (never used) machines for much cheaper than paying full price new machines.
