Planning to upgrade a drink machine, what should i replace it with?

[LuckyV]

Hello, hoping someone can give me some suggestions here.

So I have an account I took over for roughly a month now. The machines are very old and I'm looking to replace them. I already have something in mind for the snack machine, but I'm unsure what to get to replace the Dixie Narco 368 they've had for what looks like several years. I really want to give them an upgrade.

The account is at a factory that generally runs 24h. Work force is (obviously) slow right now but its still busy and has a worthwhile headcount. Also worth mentioning is that the breakroom is located up a flight of stairs so I'm hoping whatever I get won't need to get pulled out anytime soon.

What would be worth getting or looking into?

Depending on your finances, a 501e or 721.

What Chris said is good. I also like the Royal 650.  You might need a smaller version if you don't have elevator access to move the machines, be sure to walk the install route and measure all the doorways and tight spots.  Smaller choices would be DN 276E, Vendo 621, or Royal 550.

The 621 has good capacity with a little smaller footprint than the 721.  It would be a little easier to get up the stairs.  821 would give more capacity than the 721 but would be a beast to get into the location.
