A full size commercial machine on the other hand usually holds 350 to 600 products and empties out at $250 to $500. This is only the gross, the profit is less than 1/2 of that amount. Most of these machines hold under 100 products and can only gross $40 to $50 at a time, if the entire machine empties out. The second problem is that the machine will 'work you to death'.

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. New machines are great if you have high volume accounts, but most people do not have these accounts. 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. We used to sell new machines as well as reconditioned.
