dkochan Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 I decided that I am going to test the waters by purchasing three, single-head gumball machines. I am deciding between the Apollo 17 from Amerivend and the Single Head Bulk Candy Vending Machine from XYZ Vending. Which machine is better? I prefer the look of the Apollo 17 machine in black and chrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brando Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 The Amerivend's and XYZ's look nice and they are cheap but you might want do some reading of the back posts. It seems that the best manufactuers don't list their prices online, and that discourages a lot of people from looking into them. You should at least check out A&A, Oak, and Seaga before you make any decisions, a lot of people on this board appear to have good sucess with those machines.

davidsurvz Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 I can vouch for the Amerivend Apollo 17 We have one in our fleet and it has served us well so far. All metal, drop through coin mech, easy to service. No complaints. (It's the yellow one in my avatar) David Oh yeah, I can also vouch for the Seaga Millenia machines, Steve can too! (They are the 4 singles in the back of my avatar.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkochan Posted November 29, 2007 Author Share Posted November 29, 2007 I purchased three Amerivend Apollo 17 single head bulk candy machines and three pole stands today. I will post a review after I place one of these machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrKentuckian Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I have one (1) triple head Amerivend machine but having problems with the gum balls sticking (2 trying to come out same hole) and not dispensing. When I got a case of double bubble gum balls from Sam's club, the box did not specify size so they may not be the required 1" inches in diameter?

The gumballs that are sold at Sam's are the 850 ct. which are the 1 inch gumballs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrKentuckian Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Treadmill those are the ones I purchased and good to know. I guess I just need to service it in my garage and work out the kinks before locating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
