Specifications are based on the product information currently published by Vending World. Always confirm configuration, dimensions, capacity, payment equipment, and availability with the seller before ordering, especially for refurbished equipment.
A Commercial Beverage Machine for Everyday Vending
The Dixie Narco 276E is built around a simple idea: provide customers with convenient access to cold beverages while giving operators a practical commercial vending platform. The machine has seven selections, which gives the operator room to build a beverage lineup around the needs of a specific location.
A seven-selection machine can be useful when a location needs more than one drink option but does not require a very large glass-front machine. Operators can use the selections for different beverage types, package sizes, flavors, or brands, depending on the machine configuration and product compatibility.
The machine's 12 oz can configuration makes it particularly suitable for locations where standard cans are popular. Canned beverages are familiar to customers and are easy for operators to stock, organize, and count.
The Mountain Scene exterior also gives the machine a distinctive appearance. Instead of a plain commercial cabinet, this model has a recognizable themed presentation. That can help the machine stand out in a break room, workplace, recreational facility, shop, warehouse, or other vending location where a beverage machine is needed.
Why Choose a Refurbished Dixie Narco 276E?
Buying refurbished equipment can make sense for operators who want commercial vending equipment while managing their equipment budget. A new commercial vending machine can represent a significant upfront expense. A refurbished machine offers another way to enter or expand a vending route.
The Dixie Narco 276E is a full-size commercial vending machine. It is not a small countertop unit. Its large cabinet is designed for commercial beverage vending and provides substantially more product capacity than compact mechanical vending equipment.
Vending World explains that it focuses on refurbished commercial vending machines rather than small countertop or mechanical machines. The company also states that its refurbished machines are tested and prepared for vending use.
Potential Advantages of Refurbished Equipment
- Lower equipment cost than many new commercial machines.
- Access to full-size commercial vending equipment.
- Large beverage storage capacity.
- Established vending-machine design.
- Coin and bill payment capability.
- MDB compatibility.
- DEX capability.
- Multi-price vending.
- Seven product selections.
- 90-day limited parts warranty according to the seller's current listing.
Refurbished equipment is not the same as factory-new equipment. Buyers should review the machine's current condition, included components, warranty terms, shipping details, and payment system configuration before purchasing.
336+ 12 oz Can Capacity
One of the key features of this machine is its listed capacity of 336+ 12 oz cans. A large capacity can reduce the frequency of restocking compared with smaller beverage machines.
Restocking frequency depends on sales volume. A machine in a busy workplace may need frequent service. A machine in a lower-volume location may remain stocked for longer. The right service schedule depends on the location, products, prices, and customer traffic.
For vending operators, capacity matters because every service visit takes time. The operator may need to drive to the location, park, unlock the machine, remove empty selections, bring in new inventory, rotate products, clean the machine, collect money, and check the equipment.
A larger commercial machine can make each service trip more productive. Instead of servicing a very small machine with limited inventory, an operator can carry a larger product load and refill multiple selections during the same visit.
Why 12 oz Cans Can Be Convenient
- Standard can format is familiar to customers.
- Cans are easy to transport.
- Cans are easy to organize during restocking.
- Operators can count inventory quickly.
- Multiple beverage varieties can be offered.
- The machine is specifically listed as a 12 oz can configuration.
The current product listing also discusses the machine's ability to accommodate other beverage formats when properly adjusted. Because configuration can vary, operators should verify the exact setup of the machine they are purchasing before planning inventory around bottle or larger-can products.
Seven Beverage Selections
The Dixie Narco 276E provides seven selections. This gives operators a simple way to create a beverage menu for their location.
For example, an operator might dedicate selections to different soft drinks, water, energy drinks, sports drinks, or other compatible beverages. The actual product lineup should be based on the location's customers and the physical vending configuration.
Seven selections can also make inventory management easier. Operators can track sales by selection and adjust their product mix over time. If one beverage sells faster than another, the operator can consider changing the assortment, pricing, or quantity allocated to that selection.
Use Product Mix to Match the Location
Every vending location is different. A warehouse may have different beverage preferences from an office. A gym may have different demand from a manufacturing facility. A school, apartment complex, hotel, auto shop, or recreation center may also require a different product mix.
The seven-selection format gives an operator room to test different products without immediately moving to a much larger machine.
Start with products that customers already know. Watch sales. Then adjust the lineup based on actual demand.
Multi-Price Vending
The Dixie Narco 276E is listed as a multi-price machine. Multi-price capability gives operators the ability to use different prices for different selections.
This can be useful when beverage costs vary. Not every product has the same wholesale price. An operator may also want different prices for different product types or package sizes.
Multi-price vending can make the machine more flexible than a setup where every selection must use the same selling price.
Examples of Multi-Price Use
- Different prices for different beverage brands.
- Different prices based on product cost.
- Higher pricing for specialty beverages.
- Different prices for premium products.
- Location-specific pricing.
Actual pricing should be determined by the operator. Product costs, local competition, location agreements, customer demand, service costs, and other business expenses should be considered when setting prices.
Coin Acceptance
The machine is listed as accepting coins. Coin payment remains useful in many vending locations because customers may prefer cash or may not have access to a digital payment method.
A working coin mechanism allows customers to purchase beverages using compatible coins. For operators, cash payment can provide a familiar transaction method without requiring every customer to use a card or mobile wallet.
The exact coin mechanism installed on a refurbished machine can depend on the machine's current configuration. Buyers should confirm the included payment equipment if a specific coin mechanism is required for a vending route.
$1 Bill Acceptance
The Dixie Narco 276E is also listed as accepting $1 bills. Bill acceptance can make a beverage machine more convenient for customers who do not have exact change.
When a vending machine accepts both coins and bills, customers have more than one traditional payment option. This can be important in locations where cash remains common.
Operators should verify the exact validator configuration before purchase. Refurbished equipment can be configured with different components, and payment hardware may be replaced or serviced as part of the refurbishment process.
MDB Compatibility
The Dixie Narco 276E is listed with MDB protocol. MDB, or Multi-Drop Bus, is a communication standard used in vending equipment to allow compatible payment devices and vending machine controls to communicate.
MDB compatibility is important when an operator wants a machine that can work with compatible modern vending payment equipment.
This can be especially useful for operators who are planning future upgrades. Depending on the exact machine configuration and installed components, compatible cashless payment equipment may be added.
The presence of MDB capability does not mean that a cashless reader is automatically included. Buyers should check the machine's included equipment and ask the seller about any desired payment upgrade before ordering.
DEX Capability for Vending Data
The Dixie Narco 276E is listed with DEX protocol. DEX capability can support electronic data exchange between vending equipment and compatible management systems.
For vending operators with larger routes, data can help make service decisions. Sales information can help an operator identify products that sell quickly and products that move more slowly.
Good inventory management can reduce unnecessary service visits. It can also help operators plan which products to bring to each location.
How DEX Can Support Route Management
- Track compatible vending sales data.
- Review machine activity.
- Support inventory planning.
- Help identify popular selections.
- Help operators plan service visits.
- Support compatible vending management systems.
DEX functionality depends on compatible equipment and software. It should not be treated as a guarantee that every vending management platform will work with every configuration.
Curved Front Design
The Dixie Narco 276E features a curved front. This gives the cabinet a distinctive appearance and contributes to the classic look of the machine.
The curved-front design can work well in locations where the beverage machine is visible to customers. The Mountain Scene theme adds another visual element to the cabinet.
For vending operators, machine appearance can matter. A clean, well-presented machine can fit more naturally into a customer-facing environment.
Mountain Scene Design
The Mountain Scene version provides a themed exterior rather than a generic cabinet presentation. This can be useful for operators who want a machine with a recognizable visual style.
The Mountain Scene appearance can work in recreational areas, outdoor-themed businesses, break rooms, shops, warehouses, offices, and other locations where the design fits the environment.
As with any refurbished machine, the exact cosmetic condition can vary. Buyers should confirm the current appearance of the available unit if cosmetic condition is important for a particular installation.
Full-Size Commercial Cabinet
The listed dimensions for the Dixie Narco 276E are approximately 72 inches high, 29 inches wide, and 35 inches deep. The listed weight is approximately 767 pounds.
These measurements are important when planning delivery and installation.
Before purchasing, measure the intended location. Check door openings. Measure hallways. Consider elevators, ramps, stairs, corners, and the final placement area.
The machine is heavy commercial equipment. Appropriate moving equipment and enough personnel should be used during delivery and installation.
Space Planning Checklist
- Measure the installation area.
- Confirm the doorway width.
- Check hallway clearance.
- Check elevator dimensions if needed.
- Plan for corners and turns.
- Confirm electrical access.
- Leave enough room for servicing.
- Consider customer access to the front of the machine.
- Make sure the floor can support the equipment.
- Plan the machine's delivery route before arrival.
Ideal Locations for a Dixie Narco 276E
A beverage vending machine can work in many commercial and public-facing environments. The right location depends on customer traffic, beverage demand, access, security, and the agreement between the operator and the property owner.
Office Buildings
Offices can be strong candidates for beverage vending because employees may want convenient drinks during work hours. A vending machine can provide access without requiring employees to leave the building.
Warehouses
Warehouses and distribution facilities can have many employees working long shifts. A beverage machine can provide convenient access to drinks during breaks.
Manufacturing Facilities
Manufacturing locations can also require convenient beverage access. Operators should consider employee schedules, machine placement, security, and the types of beverages employees prefer.
Auto Shops
Auto repair shops and service facilities can benefit from customer and employee beverage vending. A machine can provide a simple refreshment option while customers wait.
Apartment Communities
Apartment communities can offer vending near common areas, laundry facilities, clubhouses, or other approved locations. Operators should obtain property management approval before installation.
Recreation Facilities
Recreation facilities can have steady demand for beverages. The Mountain Scene design may also fit locations with an outdoor or recreational theme.
Retail Locations
Retail businesses may use beverage vending for customers or employees. Placement should not interfere with entrances, aisles, emergency exits, or other required access areas.
Building a Beverage Product Mix
The success of a vending machine depends on more than the machine itself. Product selection matters. Operators should learn what customers actually buy.
Begin with familiar beverages. Use sales information to refine the selection. If a product sells quickly, consider keeping it well stocked. If another product remains unsold, consider replacing it with a different beverage.
The seven selections of the Dixie Narco 276E allow an operator to create a focused beverage lineup.
Possible Beverage Categories
- Carbonated soft drinks.
- Water.
- Sports drinks.
- Energy drinks where compatible.
- Juice beverages where compatible.
- Other compatible canned beverages.
Always verify package size and product compatibility before loading a selection. The machine is listed as a 12 oz can machine, and product configuration can affect what can be vended correctly.
Inventory Management Tips
Good inventory management helps keep a vending machine ready for customers.
Operators should maintain a simple restocking routine. Check every selection. Remove empty or damaged products. Rotate stock when needed. Wipe down the product area. Check payment equipment. Review sales information when available.
Simple Restocking Routine
- Open the machine using the proper service procedure.
- Check each selection.
- Remove empty or damaged products.
- Bring the correct replacement inventory.
- Load products carefully.
- Rotate older stock when appropriate.
- Check product labels.
- Review prices.
- Check the payment system.
- Clean customer-facing areas.
- Close and secure the machine.
- Record inventory or sales information when applicable.
Why Machine Placement Matters
A vending machine can only sell products when customers can see it, reach it, and use it. Placement should therefore be part of the business plan.
Look for areas with steady customer or employee traffic. A machine hidden in a low-traffic corner may not perform as well as a machine placed where customers naturally pass.
At the same time, placement should not block doors, exits, walkways, equipment, or required access areas.
Questions to Ask Before Placement
- How many people use this location?
- How long do they stay?
- Are beverages already available nearby?
- What beverages do people want?
- Is there enough electrical access?
- Is the machine visible?
- Is the area secure?
- Can the operator easily access the machine?
- Can the machine be delivered safely?
- Does the property owner approve vending?
Refurbished Machine Preparation
A refurbished machine should be evaluated differently from a brand-new machine. Buyers should understand what refurbishment means for the specific unit being purchased.
Vending World states that its machines undergo refurbishment and testing. The company also describes its equipment as commercial-grade refurbished vending equipment.
Refurbishment can include cleaning, inspection, replacement of selected components, testing, and cosmetic work. The exact process can vary by machine and seller.
Before purchasing, ask about the machine's current configuration. Confirm the payment system. Confirm the refrigeration system. Confirm the product configuration. Confirm the warranty.
Warranty Information
Vending World currently states that its refurbished vending machines include a 90-day limited parts warranty.
Warranty coverage is an important part of buying refurbished equipment. Buyers should read the current warranty terms before placing an order.
A limited parts warranty does not necessarily mean every component, labor expense, shipping charge, or service call is covered. Always review the current written warranty for exact coverage.
Maintenance Considerations
Regular maintenance can help keep commercial vending equipment operating properly.
Operators should inspect the machine during service visits. Look for damaged parts, unusual sounds, payment problems, refrigeration concerns, product jams, and other issues.
Basic Maintenance Checklist
- Keep the cabinet clean.
- Keep the selection area clean.
- Check for product jams.
- Check the coin mechanism.
- Check the bill validator.
- Check the display.
- Inspect the delivery area.
- Monitor refrigeration performance.
- Inspect electrical connections when appropriate.
- Check door operation.
- Check locks and security hardware.
- Address problems before they become larger issues.
Electrical and refrigeration repairs should be handled by qualified technicians when appropriate. Disconnect power before performing service that requires it, and follow the machine's service procedures.
Cashless Payment Upgrade Considerations
The product listing notes that the machine is credit-card capable but does not include a credit-card reader by default. Modern cashless payment equipment may be added when compatible with the machine configuration.
This distinction is important. Cashless capable and cashless equipped are not the same thing.
A buyer who needs credit-card, mobile-wallet, or other cashless payments should confirm what is included before ordering.
MDB compatibility can provide a path for compatible payment equipment, but the exact hardware and installation requirements should be confirmed with the seller or a qualified vending technician.
Using the Machine for a New Vending Route
The Dixie Narco 276E can be considered by operators who are building a new beverage route or expanding an existing route.
New operators should start with a clear plan. Determine how much equipment the budget can support. Identify potential locations. Research product costs. Plan delivery. Understand local business requirements. Build a restocking schedule.
A vending machine is a business asset, but the asset needs a suitable location to produce sales.
Basic Route Planning Steps
- Choose a vending business model.
- Set an equipment budget.
- Identify potential locations.
- Talk with property owners or managers.
- Choose suitable equipment.
- Confirm machine specifications.
- Plan delivery and installation.
- Select products.
- Set prices.
- Create a restocking schedule.
- Track sales.
- Adjust inventory based on demand.
Why Full-Size Vending Equipment Can Be Useful
Small vending equipment may be easy to move, but it also has limited capacity. Full-size commercial machines provide substantially more room for inventory.
For an operator servicing a busy location, capacity can be important. A machine that can hold hundreds of products can reduce the number of emergency restocking visits.
The Dixie Narco 276E is designed around commercial beverage vending. Its listed capacity of 336+ 12 oz cans makes it suitable for locations that need a substantial beverage inventory.
Dixie Narco Brand and 276E Model
Dixie Narco vending machines have been used in commercial beverage vending for many years. The 276E is part of the Dixie Narco family of beverage vending equipment.
The 276E format is useful for operators who prefer traditional can vending. Its seven-selection configuration keeps the machine straightforward while providing enough product choices for many locations.
The combination of MDB and DEX capability also gives the machine features that can support more modern vending operations.

How the Dixie Narco 276E Can Fit Into a Vending Business
A beverage vending machine can serve several business models.
Some operators build vending routes with multiple machines. Others place one or two machines at local businesses. Some use beverage vending as an additional service for an existing business relationship.
The right model depends on the operator's goals, available capital, route density, location quality, and ability to service equipment.
The Dixie Narco 276E can provide a commercial platform for operators who want a machine with significant product capacity and traditional cash payment features.
Customer Convenience
Vending works because it provides convenience. Customers do not need to visit a store every time they want a beverage.
A properly placed beverage machine can provide access during work breaks, waiting periods, recreational activities, or other daily routines.
The seven-selection format provides multiple choices without requiring the footprint of a much larger machine.
Visual Merchandising
Product presentation can affect how customers interact with a vending machine.
Keep selections clearly labeled. Keep the front of the machine clean. Replace damaged labels. Keep products facing correctly when the machine configuration allows it.
The Mountain Scene design already gives the cabinet a visual theme. Operators can build on that by keeping the machine clean and well maintained.
Keeping the Machine Customer Ready
A customer should be able to approach the machine and quickly understand how to make a purchase.
Clear product labels, readable prices, working buttons, a functioning display, and clean product delivery areas all contribute to a better vending experience.
Customer-Ready Checklist
- Products are visible.
- Selections are clearly identified.
- Prices are accurate.
- Payment equipment is working.
- The display is readable.
- The delivery area is clean.
- The cabinet is clean.
- Sold-out selections are addressed quickly.
Choosing the Right Beverage Inventory
Inventory should be based on the location rather than guesswork.
Start with a balanced assortment. Track what sells. Then adjust.
For example, if one beverage consistently sells out while another remains fully stocked, the operator may want to change the allocation. The seven-selection format allows the operator to maintain a focused product mix.
Customer feedback can also help. Ask the location manager which beverages employees or customers request.
Managing Product Rotation
Operators should follow appropriate inventory rotation practices. Older products should generally be sold before newer inventory when appropriate. Always follow product expiration and storage guidance provided by the beverage manufacturer.
During every service visit, inspect the inventory. Remove damaged packages. Keep the machine organized.
Cleaning the Dixie Narco 276E
A clean machine presents a more professional appearance.
Operators should clean exterior surfaces regularly. The selection area, payment area, product delivery area, and customer-facing cabinet should be checked during service visits.
Use cleaning products that are appropriate for the machine's surfaces. Avoid spraying liquid directly into electrical or electronic components.
Security and Machine Placement
Commercial vending equipment represents a significant physical asset. Placement should take security into account.
Whenever possible, place the machine in an area with appropriate lighting and normal customer or employee activity. Follow the property owner's security policies.
The machine should also be secured and installed according to applicable requirements.
Delivery Planning
Because the listed machine weight is approximately 767 pounds, delivery requires planning.
Do not assume that a standard hand truck and one person will be sufficient. Commercial vending machines can be heavy and difficult to maneuver.
Before delivery, determine the safest route from the truck to the final location.
Delivery Checklist
- Confirm delivery address.
- Measure doors.
- Measure hallways.
- Check stairs and ramps.
- Confirm elevator access if required.
- Remove obstacles.
- Protect floors and walls as appropriate.
- Use suitable moving equipment.
- Have enough trained personnel available.
- Plan final placement before moving the machine.
Electrical Planning
A cold beverage vending machine requires appropriate electrical service. Before installation, verify the power requirements for the specific machine configuration.
The electrical connection should be safe and suitable for commercial vending equipment. If there is any doubt about the electrical installation, consult a qualified electrician or vending technician.
Questions to Ask Before Buying
Buying refurbished equipment is easier when the buyer knows exactly what to confirm.
- Is the machine currently available?
- What is the current cosmetic condition?
- What payment equipment is installed?
- Does the coin mechanism accept the required coins?
- Does the bill validator accept the required bills?
- Is a cashless reader included?
- Can a cashless reader be added?
- What is included with the machine?
- What is the warranty coverage?
- What are the current shipping options?
- What are the exact machine dimensions?
- What is the actual machine weight?
- Is the machine configured for 12 oz cans?
- Are there any configuration options?
Who Should Consider the Dixie Narco 276E?
This machine may be worth considering for several types of vending operators.
New Vending Operators
Someone starting a vending route may want a full-size commercial machine without paying the price of a new machine.
Existing Route Operators
An established operator may need another beverage machine for a new location or replacement equipment for an existing route.
Business Owners
A business owner may want to provide beverages to employees or customers through an on-site vending machine.
Property Managers
Property managers may consider beverage vending for approved common areas or tenant facilities.
Benefits of a Seven-Selection Format
Seven selections provide a useful balance between choice and simplicity.
Too few selections can limit the product assortment. A very large selection count can require more inventory planning. Seven selections allow operators to focus on products that match the location.
Operators can also change the assortment as customer preferences change.
Using Sales Data to Improve Inventory
Sales data can help an operator make better inventory decisions.
For example, if one selection sells much faster than the others, the operator can pay special attention to that selection during restocking.
DEX-compatible equipment can support compatible data-management workflows. Operators should confirm the specific software and hardware needed for their desired system.
Reducing Unnecessary Service Trips
Efficient route management can save time.
Operators should try to combine service activities. During one visit, check inventory, clean the machine, collect money, inspect the payment equipment, and look for maintenance problems.
The machine's large listed capacity can also help support longer intervals between routine restocking in suitable locations. Actual service frequency will depend on sales.
Understanding Vending Machine Capacity
Capacity numbers should always be viewed in relation to the product configuration.
The Dixie Narco 276E is listed as holding 336+ 12 oz cans. The actual number of products that can be loaded can depend on the configuration and product packaging.
Do not assume that every beverage package will load in exactly the same quantity.
Refurbished Versus New Vending Equipment
New equipment generally provides a new cabinet and new components, but the purchase price can be significantly higher.
Refurbished equipment provides another option. It can allow an operator to obtain commercial vending equipment while controlling the initial equipment cost.
The choice depends on budget, location, expected sales, desired features, and risk tolerance.
Commercial Beverage Vending Made Practical
The Dixie Narco 276E is designed around practical beverage vending. It has a straightforward seven-selection layout. It accepts traditional cash payments. It supports multi-price vending. It includes MDB and DEX capabilities. It provides a large listed 12 oz can capacity.
Those features make the machine a flexible platform for many beverage vending applications.

Its full-size commercial cabinet, seven selections, large listed can capacity, traditional payment systems, MDB compatibility, and DEX capability make it a machine that can be considered for commercial beverage vending routes.
Why Capacity Matters to Vending Operators
Every service visit has a cost. Operators spend time driving, loading inventory, servicing the machine, collecting payments, and returning to their route.
A higher-capacity machine can make those visits more productive when the location has enough sales to justify the equipment.
The Dixie Narco 276E's listed 336+ can capacity gives operators substantial inventory space. This can be particularly useful in locations with consistent beverage demand.
Why Seven Selections Can Be Enough
More choices are not always necessary. A focused beverage lineup can be easier to manage.
Seven selections allow the operator to provide variety while keeping the machine's product mix manageable.
Operators can test different products and use sales results to refine the lineup.
Planning a Profitable Vending Location
A vending machine does not create sales simply because it is installed. Location is a major part of the business model.
Look for places where people spend time and may want beverages. Employee break areas, waiting areas, recreation spaces, and other approved high-use areas may offer opportunities.
Before signing a placement agreement, understand the terms. Determine whether the property owner charges rent, requires a commission, or has other conditions.
Keeping Operating Costs Under Control
Vending operators should track more than gross sales. Consider product costs, fuel, repairs, payment processing, commissions, insurance, taxes, labor, equipment, and other expenses.
A machine that sells a lot of beverages can still have poor net results if operating expenses are not managed.
Good route planning, appropriate product pricing, and inventory control can help operators manage the business.
Product Pricing Strategy
Multi-price capability gives the operator more control over individual selection prices.
Pricing should reflect product cost and local market conditions. It should also account for the expenses required to maintain the machine and service the location.
Operators should review pricing periodically. Wholesale costs can change. Customer demand can change. Local competition can change.
Customer Experience
Vending customers want a simple transaction. They want the machine to accept their payment, deliver the selected product, and provide a clear buying experience.
Operators can support that experience by keeping the machine clean, stocked, clearly labeled, and properly serviced.
Professional Appearance
The Mountain Scene design gives this Dixie Narco 276E a distinctive look. Operators can preserve that appearance by keeping the exterior clean and addressing cosmetic issues when appropriate.
A clean machine can make a better impression on both customers and property managers.
Long-Term Vending Planning
For operators building a route, one machine is often only the beginning. A successful operation can eventually include multiple beverage and snack machines.
The key is to expand based on actual business performance rather than simply buying equipment.
Track sales. Understand costs. Maintain equipment. Keep good relationships with location owners.
Dixie Narco 276E for Beverage Vending Operators
The Dixie Narco 276E Mountain Scene provides a combination of classic vending design and useful commercial features.

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.
