Automatic Products 113 VE Revision Door Boxed Curve – 2 Candy Shelf, MDB Board, Dual Snack Coils & Drop Sensors
The Automatic Products 113 VE Revision Door Boxed Curve is a full-size commercial snack vending machine designed for operators who want a modern appearance, flexible product merchandising, dependable payment options, and vending technology that can support today's business needs. This refurbished Automatic Products 113 combines a five-wide snack layout with six shelves, dual snack coils, two candy shelves, LED lighting, drop sensors, MDB multi-price electronics, DEX protocol, a five-tube coin system, and a bill validator that accepts $1 and $5 bills.
One of the most noticeable features is the VE CURVE revision door. The CURVE door gives the machine a contemporary appearance while adding updated electronic capabilities. Instead of replacing an entire vending machine simply to achieve a newer look and modern payment compatibility, the VE CURVE concept is designed to refresh the appearance and technology of compatible vending equipment.
The Automatic Products 113 is approximately 72 inches high, 38 inches wide, and 35 inches deep. The listed capacity is approximately 300 to 400 items, depending on the products selected and how the shelves are configured. With approximately 30 to 40 selections, operators can create a varied snack menu for offices, employee break rooms, factories, warehouses, schools, hotels, apartment communities, gyms, waiting areas, and other commercial locations.
This model is identified by SKU A-S113RD2CV. It is listed as a refurbished vending machine and features an Ultra Black finish. The machine is designed for commercial vending applications and offers a combination of physical capacity, modern electronics, customer-friendly lighting, and flexible merchandising.
Modern Snack Vending for Commercial Locations
A successful vending machine needs to do more than hold products. It should present products clearly, make selections simple, support convenient payment methods, and provide operators with useful technology for managing the machine. The Automatic Products 113 VE Revision Door Boxed Curve brings these functions together in one full-size snack vending machine.
The machine's six shelves provide a substantial amount of merchandising space. The five-wide configuration allows operators to create multiple product columns across each shelf. Depending on the product sizes and shelf arrangement, the machine can accommodate approximately 30 to 40 selections and approximately 300 to 400 individual products.
This capacity makes the Automatic Products 113 useful for locations where customers expect variety. Instead of dedicating a vending machine to only a few products, an operator can stock a mixture of chips, cookies, crackers, pastries, granola bars, candy, gum, and other packaged snacks.
The two candy shelves add another merchandising option. Smaller products can be grouped separately from larger snack packages, making the overall machine easier to organize. Operators can create a dedicated candy section while using the other shelves for larger snack products.
The machine is also equipped with dual snack coils. Coil configuration is a familiar vending format that allows operators to position packaged products securely and move them toward the delivery area when a customer makes a selection.
VE CURVE Revision Door
The VE CURVE revision door is a major feature of this Automatic Products 113. Traditional vending machines can remain mechanically useful for years, but their appearance may eventually look dated compared with newer equipment. A modern revision door provides an opportunity to refresh the presentation of a machine while incorporating updated vending technology.
The CURVE design offers a sleek, contemporary appearance that can fit into professional commercial environments. This can be especially useful in locations where the vending machine is highly visible to employees, customers, residents, students, guests, or visitors.
The door incorporates modern electronics and lighting. VE Solutions' Universal Control Board technology is designed to provide compatibility with vending management systems, DEX, MDB, and cashless payment equipment. This allows the machine to support technology that is commonly important to modern vending operations.
The updated appearance can also help an operator maintain a consistent look across a vending route. A vending machine placed in a corporate office, hotel, apartment building, or customer-facing business is part of the location's overall environment. A clean, contemporary machine can present the vending service in a more current way.
Benefits of the CURVE Door
- Modernizes the appearance of the vending machine.
- Provides an attractive contemporary front-door design.
- Includes integrated LED lighting.
- Supports delivery-sensor functionality.
- Provides updated electronic compatibility.
- Supports MDB vending technology.
- Supports DEX protocol.
- Designed for cashless payment compatibility.
- Offers an ADA-oriented vending interface.
- Provides visual feedback during the vending process.
Six-Shelf Snack Vending Configuration
The Automatic Products 113 uses a six-shelf configuration to provide operators with a large amount of merchandising space. Six shelves make it possible to divide products into logical groups and create a product mix that reflects the needs of a specific location.
For example, an operator can dedicate one section to chips, another to cookies and crackers, another to snack bars, and additional areas to candy and other packaged products. The exact arrangement can be adjusted according to product dimensions, customer demand, and sales history.
Merchandising flexibility is important because every vending location is different. An office may have stronger demand for healthier snacks and smaller convenience products. A manufacturing facility may have stronger demand for traditional snack foods. A hotel may require a mixture of snacks suitable for travelers. An apartment community may need a broad selection for residents who want convenient food without leaving the property.
The six-shelf design gives operators room to adapt the machine rather than using a one-size-fits-all product assortment.
Two Candy Shelves for Better Product Organization
This model includes two candy shelves, providing additional space for smaller confectionery and convenience products. Candy products can be separated from larger snack packages, making the machine easier to merchandise and easier for customers to browse.
Potential products for the candy area can include candy bars, chewy candy, packaged sweets, gum, mints, and other appropriately sized products. Operators should always confirm that individual products fit the selected shelf and coil configuration before stocking the machine.
Separating candy from larger snacks can also help create a more organized visual presentation. Customers can quickly identify different product categories and make a selection without searching through a mixed product arrangement.
The two candy shelves can also be used strategically. Operators can devote one area to popular candy bars and another to smaller impulse items. Alternatively, both shelves can be used for different price levels or different product brands.
Dual Snack Coils
The Automatic Products 113 VE is equipped with dual snack coils. Snack coils are designed to hold packaged products in position and move them toward the delivery area during a vend.
Dual-coil configurations are useful for supporting products that benefit from additional stability during the vending process. Correct product placement remains important. Products should be positioned properly within the coil and shelf so the machine can operate as intended.
Operators can use the coil arrangement to merchandise products according to package size and shape. Larger packages may require a different configuration than smaller snack bags or bars. Product testing is recommended whenever a new item is introduced.
Good merchandising is more than simply filling every available space. The operator should make sure products are positioned consistently, labels are visible, and products can move freely during the vend.
Drop Sensors for Product Delivery Verification
The machine includes drop sensors, also referred to as delivery sensors. These sensors are designed to detect product delivery into the customer retrieval area.
Product detection can provide useful feedback during the vending process. When a customer makes a selection, the machine attempts to dispense the product. The delivery sensor can detect the product reaching the delivery area and provide feedback to the vending system.
This feature is especially useful in a modern vending environment because customers expect a clear transaction experience. Delivery sensing can help the machine recognize whether the selected product has reached the delivery area.
The CURVE door also incorporates lighting associated with the vending process. The combination of product delivery sensing and visual feedback gives the customer a more interactive vending experience.
LED Lighting for Better Product Visibility
Product visibility is an important part of vending merchandising. Customers need to be able to see the products and understand the available selections quickly.
The Automatic Products 113 includes LED lighting designed to illuminate the interior and front frame of the vending machine. The lighting can make products easier to see and can improve the visual presentation of the machine.
LED lighting is particularly useful in locations where ambient lighting changes throughout the day. A vending machine positioned in a hallway, warehouse, break room, lobby, or other indoor area may experience different levels of surrounding light.
Illuminating the product area helps the machine remain visually prominent. It can also make product labels, packaging, and selection areas easier for customers to identify.
MDB Multi-Price Electronics
The Automatic Products 113 features MDB multi-price electronics. MDB, or Multi-Drop Bus, is a vending industry communication standard used between vending machine control systems and payment peripherals.
Multi-price capability allows different selections to have different prices. This is important for operators who sell products with different wholesale costs, package sizes, brands, or profit margins.
For example, a lower-cost snack can be assigned one price while a premium snack or larger package can have a different price. Candy, chips, cookies, snack bars, and other products do not have to be restricted to a single price point.
Flexible pricing allows an operator to build a product mix around the location. Products can be priced according to cost, market conditions, customer demand, and the operator's business model.
Five-Tube Coin System
The machine includes a five-tube coin system. A tube-based coin mechanism stores accepted coins and can provide change during vending transactions, depending on the configuration and available coin inventory.
Coin payment remains important in many vending environments. Some customers prefer coins, while others may use coins when they do not have a suitable bill or cashless payment option.
The five-tube configuration provides coin storage for the vending transaction. Operators should maintain the coin mechanism according to the manufacturer's recommendations and make sure the tubes contain appropriate coin levels for the location.
$1 and $5 Bill Acceptance
The Automatic Products 113 is configured with a bill validator capable of accepting $1 and $5 bills. Supporting both coins and bills gives customers multiple traditional cash payment options.
Cash acceptance can be particularly important in workplaces, industrial facilities, recreational areas, and other locations where customers may prefer to pay with physical currency.
Operators should verify the bill validator configuration and maintain it as part of normal vending machine service. Keeping payment equipment clean and properly maintained can help support reliable transactions.
Credit Card Capable – Reader Not Included
The Automatic Products 113 is listed as credit card capable. This means the machine's electronics are new enough to accept a compatible cashless payment reader.
A credit card reader is not included with this vending machine. Customers who want cashless payment capability must purchase an appropriate compatible reader separately.
Installation of a cashless payment device may require additional equipment, configuration, and professional installation. Vending World notes that credit card reader installation can be arranged through an independent installation specialist for an additional cost.
Operators should select a reader that is compatible with the vending machine's MDB system and their preferred payment service. Before purchasing a reader, verify compatibility, service requirements, cellular connectivity requirements, transaction fees, and installation arrangements.
Cashless payment can be especially useful for modern vending locations where customers commonly expect to pay electronically. Adding a compatible reader gives the operator the option of supporting payment methods beyond cash.
DEX Protocol Support
The machine supports DEX protocol, an important feature for vending operators who use vending management systems.
DEX can be used to communicate sales and machine information to compatible management equipment. Depending on the management system being used, this information can help operators monitor vending activity and make better decisions about inventory and route servicing.
For operators with multiple machines, data management becomes increasingly important. Manually checking every machine can take significant time. Compatible DEX systems can provide a way to collect information from machines and transfer it into a vending management workflow.
DEX compatibility can support tasks such as sales reporting, inventory planning, route management, and machine performance monitoring. The exact information available depends on the machine configuration and the management system connected to it.
Universal Control Board Technology
The VE CURVE door incorporates Universal Control Board technology. The board is designed to support compatibility with vending management systems, DEX, MDB, and cashless payment equipment.
Modern vending operators often use several electronic systems together. The payment system, vending controller, cashless reader, and management software may all need to communicate with one another.
A modern control architecture can make it easier to integrate compatible vending technologies. Operators should still confirm compatibility between specific payment readers, management systems, and machine configurations before installation.
ADA-Oriented Vending Design
The CURVE door is designed with accessibility in mind and is identified by the manufacturer listing as ADA compliant. The design incorporates an ADA bucket and illuminated customer interface features.
Accessibility is an important consideration when placing vending machines in commercial and public environments. Operators should always consider the location, installation height, clearance, customer access, and applicable local requirements when positioning a vending machine.
Proper installation is important. The machine should be placed in a suitable area with sufficient space for customers to approach, make selections, retrieve products, and complete transactions safely.
Ultra Black Commercial Appearance
The Automatic Products 113 VE Revision Door Boxed Curve is presented in an Ultra Black finish. The dark finish provides a professional appearance that can fit into many commercial interiors.
A vending machine is often visible to customers and employees throughout the day. Appearance can therefore be an important consideration when selecting equipment for an office, hotel, apartment building, school, gym, manufacturing facility, or other business location.
The CURVE door adds a contemporary design element while the dark exterior creates a neutral appearance that can work with many interior environments.
Approximately 30 to 40 Selections
The Automatic Products 113 is designed to provide approximately 30 to 40 selections. The exact number of selections depends on product configuration and how the shelves are arranged.
This gives operators significant flexibility when building a snack menu. A machine can offer several different product categories instead of relying on a small number of selections.
A diversified selection can be useful in locations with many different customers. Some people may want salty snacks, while others may prefer sweet snacks. Some may want smaller portions, while others may select larger products.
Operators can also change the assortment over time. Products that sell well can receive more shelf space. Products that sell slowly can be replaced with alternatives. Seasonal products can be introduced when appropriate.
Approximately 300 to 400 Item Capacity
The listed capacity for this Automatic Products 113 is approximately 300 to 400 items. Actual capacity varies according to the size, shape, weight, and arrangement of the products being stocked.
Large snack packages occupy more space than smaller products. A machine filled with large bags may hold fewer items than the same machine filled with smaller candy, bars, or compact snacks.
Operators should use the stated capacity as a general planning figure rather than an exact number of every possible product combination.
The large capacity is useful for locations with consistent customer traffic. More capacity can reduce the frequency of restocking compared with smaller machines, although actual service frequency depends on sales volume.
Flexible Snack Merchandising
One of the major advantages of a full-size snack machine is merchandising flexibility. The Automatic Products 113 allows operators to build a product mix around the location rather than forcing every location to carry the same selection.
A typical arrangement might include:
- Potato chips and other salty snacks.
- Pretzels and crackers.
- Cookies.
- Granola and snack bars.
- Pastries and packaged baked goods.
- Chocolate candy.
- Chewy candy.
- Gum and mints.
- Other appropriately sized packaged snacks.
Operators should select products that are appropriate for the vending machine's coils and shelf configuration. Products should fit securely and vend consistently.
Product Merchandising Tips
Good merchandising can make a major difference in the customer experience. Products should be loaded consistently so customers can clearly identify what is available.
Keep product labels facing forward whenever possible. Group similar products together. Place popular products where customers can easily see them. Use the candy shelves to create a clearly defined section for smaller products.
Operators can also use sales data to improve the arrangement. If one product sells faster than another, additional shelf space may be allocated to that product. If an item repeatedly remains unsold, it may be worth testing another product in that position.
Pricing should also be easy to understand. MDB multi-price functionality allows different selections to have different prices, but the corresponding prices should be clearly displayed to customers.
Ideal Locations for the Automatic Products 113
The Automatic Products 113 can be used in many commercial environments. Its full-size construction and large capacity make it appropriate for locations where customers or employees regularly need convenient access to snacks.
Office Buildings
Office buildings can benefit from a snack vending machine placed in a break room, employee lounge, lobby, or other appropriate area. The broad selection allows an operator to stock different types of snacks for employees and visitors.
Factories and Manufacturing Facilities
Manufacturing facilities may have employees working extended shifts. A full-size vending machine can provide convenient access to snacks without requiring employees to leave the property.
Warehouses
Warehouses can be suitable vending locations when employees spend long periods on site. The Automatic Products 113 provides a substantial product selection in one machine.
Apartment Communities
Apartment communities can use snack vending equipment in common areas, clubhouses, laundry areas, or other suitable locations. The machine can provide residents with convenient access to snacks.
Hotels
Hotels may use snack vending machines for guests who want food outside normal restaurant or convenience-store hours. A varied selection can help accommodate different guest preferences.
Schools and Educational Facilities
Schools and educational facilities may have opportunities for vending equipment in appropriate areas. Operators should always verify the institution's rules, product requirements, nutritional policies, and local regulations before placing vending equipment in an educational setting.
Gyms and Recreation Centers
Gyms and recreation centers can use vending machines for convenient snack access. Product selection should be based on the preferences and requirements of the specific facility.
Waiting Rooms and Customer Areas
Automotive service centers, offices, commercial waiting rooms, and other customer-facing locations can use vending machines to provide convenient refreshments while customers wait.
Refurbished Commercial Vending Machine
This Automatic Products 113 is listed as a refurbished item. Refurbished vending equipment can be a practical option for operators who want full-size commercial equipment while managing equipment costs.
Refurbished equipment should be evaluated based on the condition of the machine, included components, configuration, available features, warranty terms, and intended location.
Vending World states on its website that machines come with a 90-day limited parts warranty. Buyers should review the current warranty terms, exclusions, and conditions before placing an order.
Because refurbished equipment can have individual configuration differences, customers should verify important specifications before purchase, especially when replacing an existing machine or integrating the machine into an established vending route.

Why MDB Multi-Price Matters for Vending Operators
Vending operators rarely sell every product at the same cost. A machine may contain inexpensive candy, premium candy, small snack bags, large snack bags, cookies, crackers, and other products. Each product can have a different cost and desired selling price.
MDB multi-price functionality provides the flexibility to assign different prices to different selections. This allows operators to build a more diverse product assortment while maintaining appropriate pricing for each selection.
Flexible pricing can also make it easier to introduce new products. If an operator wants to test a premium snack, the selection can have a different price from the traditional products already in the machine.
Operators should establish pricing based on their costs, location, competition, customer expectations, service expenses, and overall vending business strategy.
Why DEX Matters for Route Management
As a vending route grows, information becomes increasingly important. An operator may have machines in several buildings or locations, each with different sales patterns and inventory requirements.
DEX compatibility can help connect vending machines to compatible management systems. Depending on the system used, operators may be able to collect sales and machine information for reporting and route-planning purposes.
This can help reduce unnecessary service trips and make restocking more organized. Instead of treating every machine exactly the same, an operator can use available data to identify locations that need more frequent service.
The usefulness of DEX depends on the management hardware and software being used. Customers should verify compatibility before building a complete management solution.
Customer-Friendly Vending Experience
The vending experience begins before a customer inserts money or starts a cashless transaction. Customers need to see the machine clearly, understand the available products, identify prices, make a selection, and retrieve the product easily.
The Automatic Products 113 addresses several of these areas with its LED lighting, modern CURVE door, product visibility, selection flexibility, and delivery-sensor technology.
The illuminated machine can help draw attention to the product area. The modern door creates a more contemporary appearance. The drop sensors provide product delivery feedback. The MDB system provides flexible pricing and payment integration.
Together, these features create a vending machine designed around both operator requirements and customer convenience.
Using the Automatic Products 113 in a New Vending Location
When installing the Automatic Products 113 at a new location, start by evaluating the available space. The listed machine dimensions are approximately 72 inches high by 38 inches wide by 35 inches deep.
Allow additional space for customer access and machine service. The exact clearance required will depend on the location and installation environment.
Consider the traffic pattern around the machine. A vending machine should be easy to find without creating an obstruction. The location should also have appropriate electrical service and environmental conditions for commercial vending equipment.
Once the machine is installed, create a product assortment based on the location's expected customer base. Begin with a balanced selection and use sales information to adjust the assortment over time.
Planning a Product Mix
A good vending assortment should provide variety without wasting valuable shelf space. The six shelves and two candy shelves allow the operator to divide products into logical categories.
Start with products that are already known to sell in similar locations. Include several price points when appropriate. Consider package size, shelf life, product popularity, wholesale cost, and customer demand.
After the machine has been operating for a period of time, review sales information. High-demand products may deserve more positions. Low-demand products can be replaced with alternatives.
Product assortment should be treated as an ongoing process rather than a one-time decision.
Maintaining the Vending Machine
Regular maintenance is important for any commercial vending machine. Operators should establish a routine that includes cleaning, inspection, restocking, payment-system checks, product rotation, and general machine inspection.
The glass and exterior should be kept clean so customers can easily see the products. The product shelves should be inspected during service visits. Operators should check that products are positioned correctly and that coils are not obstructed.
Payment components should also be monitored. Coin mechanisms and bill validators can require cleaning and service over time, especially in locations with heavy usage.
The delivery area should be checked regularly. Operators should make sure the retrieval area is clean and unobstructed and that products can move into it correctly.
LED lighting and other electronic functions should be observed during routine service visits. Any unusual behavior should be investigated before it becomes a larger operational problem.
Merchandising for High-Traffic Locations
High-traffic locations can require a different merchandising strategy from lower-volume locations. Popular products may sell quickly and require additional shelf space.
The Automatic Products 113's approximately 300 to 400 item capacity gives operators room to carry a substantial inventory. However, high sales volume can still require frequent service.
Operators should track sales and restocking requirements to determine the best service schedule. A machine that sells quickly should not be allowed to remain empty for extended periods.
Keeping popular selections stocked helps maintain customer satisfaction and maximizes the use of the machine's capacity.
Merchandising for Offices
Office locations often benefit from a balanced snack assortment. Operators may consider a combination of traditional snacks, candy, cookies, crackers, bars, and other packaged products.
The two candy shelves can be used to create a dedicated sweets section. The remaining shelves can provide space for larger snack products.
Office customers may also appreciate multiple price points. MDB multi-price functionality allows operators to offer both lower-cost and premium options in the same machine.
Merchandising for Industrial Locations
Industrial and manufacturing locations may have employees working different shifts. A vending machine can provide convenient access to food during breaks and work periods.
For these locations, operators should consider products that are convenient to eat during breaks. Durable packaged snacks can be particularly practical.
The machine's capacity can also be useful where there is significant employee traffic. Operators can stock a broad selection and adjust the mix according to actual sales.
Merchandising for Apartment Communities
Apartment communities can offer a different type of vending customer. Residents may use a vending machine at different times of day and may want quick access to snacks without leaving the property.
A varied product assortment can serve residents with different preferences. Candy shelves can provide smaller impulse products while the snack shelves can offer a wider range of packaged food.
Operators should work with property management to determine the best location, operating hours, product requirements, and service arrangements.
Merchandising for Hotels
Hotels can use vending equipment to provide guests with convenient snack access. Travelers may need a quick snack outside normal restaurant hours or may prefer not to leave the property.
The Automatic Products 113 provides multiple selections in one machine, allowing the operator to offer a broad assortment without installing several small machines.
The modern CURVE door and LED lighting can also help the machine fit into guest-facing environments where appearance matters.
Cash and Cashless Flexibility
One of the useful aspects of the Automatic Products 113 is its combination of traditional cash acceptance and cashless readiness.
The five-tube coin system supports coin transactions, while the bill validator accepts $1 and $5 bills. The machine is also capable of accepting a compatible cashless reader, although that reader is not included.
This combination allows operators to maintain traditional payment methods while retaining the option to add cashless payment technology.
Before adding a card reader, verify the reader's MDB compatibility and confirm any requirements from the payment provider.
Important Credit Card Reader Information
Please note: this machine does not include a credit card reader. The phrase “credit card capable” refers to the machine's electronic readiness for a compatible cashless payment device.
A separate reader may need to be purchased and installed. Installation may involve additional costs. Customers should confirm the reader model, installation requirements, cellular or network requirements, and payment service before ordering.
This distinction is important for buyers who specifically need a fully cashless machine. The Automatic Products 113 provides the electronic capability, but the cashless reader itself is an additional component.
Full-Size Commercial Construction
The Automatic Products 113 is a full-size commercial snack vending machine rather than a small countertop unit. Its approximately 72-inch height, 38-inch width, and 35-inch depth provide substantial space for merchandise and vending components.
Full-size vending equipment is designed for commercial environments where larger product capacity is important. The machine can hold substantially more merchandise than small countertop vending units.
The approximately 300 to 400 item capacity is a general figure and depends heavily on product size and configuration.
Considerations Before Ordering
Before purchasing a large vending machine, customers should verify that the intended location can accommodate the equipment. Measure doorways, hallways, elevators, loading areas, and the final installation area.
Because this is a full-size commercial machine, transportation and placement require planning. Customers should also confirm electrical requirements and make sure the location is prepared before delivery.
For customers replacing an existing machine, compare the new machine's dimensions with the current equipment. The footprint and access requirements may differ.
Customers should also review the current product listing for availability, pricing, shipping information, warranty terms, and configuration details before ordering.

For an established operator, the machine can add capacity to a growing route or replace older equipment at an existing location.
Operators can also use the machine as an opportunity to test new product assortments, pricing strategies, or cashless payment options.
Why Product Capacity Matters
Capacity is important because every service visit requires time and transportation. A machine with more available product space may allow an operator to stock more inventory during each service visit.
However, capacity should always be matched to actual sales. A large machine is most useful when the location has enough demand to justify it.
The Automatic Products 113 offers approximately 300 to 400 item capacity, giving operators considerable room to build a broad selection. The actual number of products depends on package dimensions and shelf configuration.
Creating an Attractive Vending Display
Visual presentation can influence how customers interact with a vending machine. The Automatic Products 113 uses LED lighting to help illuminate the interior and frame.
Operators can take advantage of this by keeping product rows organized and labels visible. A clean, well-stocked machine is easier to shop than a disorganized machine.
Use the shelves to establish clear categories. Keep similar products together and avoid placing oversized products in positions that interfere with neighboring selections.
Price labels should also correspond clearly with the correct selections. Accurate labeling helps customers make purchasing decisions quickly.
Operating a Refurbished Snack Machine
A refurbished machine should be treated as commercial equipment that requires routine care. Operators should establish maintenance procedures from the beginning.
Regular cleaning, inspection, and product rotation can help keep the machine presentable. Payment systems should be checked during service visits, and the delivery area should remain clean and unobstructed.
Operators should keep records of maintenance and repairs. Documentation can help identify recurring issues and improve route planning.

Why Buy A Refurbished Machine?
Great Returns - Commercial Grade Machines - Affordability
New vs Refurbished
We used to sell new machines as well as reconditioned ones. We no longer sell new, for one main reason.
According to a recent survey of vending operators, about 93 out of 100 potential vending accounts don't generate enough revenue to justify the cost of new equipment. New machines are great if you have high volume accounts, but most people do not have these accounts.
Typical pricing on new "commercial grade" machines:
- Can drink machines: $6,200–$7,400
- Snack machines: $6,600–$8,500
- Cold food machines: $8,900–$11,700
(Priced with mech and validator, typical options, vendor pricing not including sales tax or shipping in some cases.)
As you can see, that's quite high compared to used or refurbished equipment.
Please remember 'anyone and everyone' can call their machines refurbished but what does that really mean? Please see our machine ratings page for what we actually do to our machines. Many of our competitors don't even 'clean or paint the inside' of the machines.
Start small and grow as you can afford it.Many people start in the vending business without much knowledge, and that can hurt them financially if they're not careful.
All of the machines that we sell are full size, commercial machines. There are many machines that are made that are small, countertop or mechanical coin acceptance. These machines are fine if you are a housewife looking to make a little extra money on the side. We used to sell those type of machines and no longer do. The main reason is that people who were serious about vending would out grow these type of machines in several months.
Small mechanical machines have two main problems:
- They don't make change or accept dollar bills
- They "work you to death" — frequent refills for very little payoff
Most hold under 100 products and gross only $40–$50 per full restock, and profit is less than half of that.
A full-size commercial machine, by contrast, usually holds 350 to 600 products and empties out at $250–$500. Since you spend most of your time just driving to the location, you might as well fill 500 products instead of 50.
