Looking for a compact, easy snack & soda machine for your small business? No need to spend too thousands of dollars on full size electronic machines that will never earn their keep. The Antares Refreshment Center may be just right for your needs, if your needs are indoors.
First of all, Antares snack & soda machines are very compact. They take up about as much square footage as a full size file cabinet. They are either deep blue with black or black and grey, so they will be discreet, wherever you decide to place them. They aren't very tall either, just under 5 feet.
Also, these machines are mechanical, which means no complicated electronics requiring you to send for a specialist if something goes wrong- each selection has it's own mechanism, so if one goes bad, the others still function fine. It has 9 snack selections (can vend candy bars, cookies, chips, pastries, etc.) and 7 soda selections. Depending on thee year model, it's soda selections may be all cans, or cans with one bottle selection. Many also come with what's called a Red Bull kit, which allows you to vend the odd size Red Bull Cans.
Furthermore, these Antares machines use up very little electricity, because the only part of them that is electronic is the soda unit which runs a fridge style compressor, and the dollar bill changer, if you use it. The snack portion of the machine is entirely mechanical. You can be assured that your wallet and the environment will not take a hit because the whole combo only uses about as much electricity as a small dorm style fridge.
The price of these Antares mechanical combos is very attractive as well. You can find these machines most of the time for between $500-$1000, depending on age and condition. Sometimes you can even buy them brand new in the box, never used.
Antares vending machines are for pick up only, and there are plenty for sale all over the USA and Canada, being sold secondhand by sellers who bought too many, or bought for relatives who ended up not using them, or people who want to get out of the vending business due to other jobs or retirement.
If you are trying to start a vending business yourself, these machines are a great place to start- they require very little maintenance, and very small investment (be sure to get several so you have a ready arts supply.) There are plenty of videos online that can help you learn to operate the machine and do any repairs that are needed on it. These machines are pretty much modular, meaning there are very few small parts- just chunks that you remove and replace. A perfect starter for young people.
