**Automatic Products Studio 3 Snack Machine – Executive Black**
The Automatic Products Studio 3 snack machine stands out as an exceptional vending solution, ideal for both small and large venues seeking a reliable and versatile snack dispenser. This particular model, finished in an executive black shade, complements a variety of environments — from corporate offices and educational institutions to fitness centers and retail spaces — adding a sleek, professional touch to any location.
**Robust Capacity and Compact Design**
Equipped with six shelves, the Studio 3 offers ample space to showcase a wide array of snacks and treats. This configuration supports between 35 to 40 selections, making it possible to provide a diverse product range that caters to varied tastes and dietary preferences. The five-wide snack layout ensures that popular items are prominently displayed and easily accessible, enhancing customer satisfaction.
Among these six shelves, two are dedicated candy shelves, perfect for stocking smaller, high-demand products like chocolates, mints, and gums. This thoughtful shelving arrangement enables operators to optimize product placement and increase sales potential.
**Advanced Payment Options**
One of the most compelling features of this vending machine is its advanced payment system. It accepts coins via three separate tubes, accommodating multiple denominations for streamlined transactions. The inclusion of a $1 bill acceptor further broadens payment flexibility, reducing the reliance on exact change and improving convenience.
Moreover, the Studio 3 is credit card capable, allowing purchases via credit or debit cards through secure, cashless transactions (refer to specific credit card reader compatibility below*). This feature is essential in today’s increasingly digital economy where consumers prefer contactless payments.
**DEX Protocol for Enhanced Management**
The machine supports DEX protocol, a communication standard used to streamline vending machine management by transmitting sales data, stock levels, and machine status directly to vending operators. This feature enables quick and efficient route management, restocking schedules, and reporting, minimizing downtime and maximizing profitability.
**Guaranteed Vend Technology**
A standout highlight of the Studio 3 is its guaranteed vend technology. This ensures that customers receive their selected snack every time they complete a purchase, significantly reducing complaints related to vending errors such as stuck products or incorrect dispensations. This feature builds trust and encourages repeat business.
**Multi-Price Flexibility**
Operators can take advantage of multi-price capability, allowing for different pricing across products based on size, brand, or demand. This flexibility helps optimize profit margins by aligning prices with market trends without being restricted to a single price point for all items.
**Display and User Interface**
This model includes the ST model blue display, which offers clear, easy-to-read product and pricing information. The backlit screen enhances visibility even in low-light conditions, improving user experience and reducing selection errors.

Why Buy A Refurbished Machine?
Great Returns - Commercial Grade Machines - Affordability
New vs Refurbished
We used to sell new machines as well as reconditioned. We no longer sell new for the following reason: According to a recent survey of vending operators about 93 out of 100 potential vending accounts do not make enough revenue to warrant the cost of new equipment. New machines are great if you have high volume accounts, but most people do not have these accounts. Typical cost on new 'commercial grade' machines run as much as: Can drink $3400-$4800, Snack $3600-$4500, Cold food $7200-$8500, as you can see quite high compared to used or refurbished. Priced with mech and validator, typical options, vendor pricing, not including sales tax or shipping in some cases. 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. This can hurt you financially if you are 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. There are two main problems with the small mechanical machines. One problem is the machine does not make change or take dollar bills. The second problem is that the machine will 'work you to death'. Most of these machines hold under 100 products and can only gross $40 to $50 at a time, if the entire machine empties out. This is only the gross, the profit is less than 1/2 of that amount. A full size commercial machine on the other hand usually holds 350 to 600 products and empties out at $250 to $500. Remember you spend the most time driving to the location so you might as well fill 500 products as soon as 50.
