Wall Mounted Vending Machines

[Vincescoinwash]

I have been looking to buy a wall mounted Glass spiral vending machine for a 6 bay wash. I have been looking at a few options from kleen rite and on the used market. Just wondering if anyone has any recommendations as to what is good for the money.

Do you think people actually buy the stuff from the vending machines? I know they don't buy the stuff from the old school non-glass versions I have

Not worth the effort hardly but with our glass front wall mount vendor, but we average around $40 per week.

I have both, regular vendors and glass front and it’s mostly as a perk for my customers. We sell quite a bit of product but there’s not much profit in it. For the regular drop shelf vendors Laurel is awesome. Glass front is more dicey. I had a Dilling Harris that I despised. After 2 years I tore it out and threw it in the dumpster, no joke. 5 grand down the toilet. I replaced it with a Shur Vend 19 years ago and that machine has been awesome. Sadly they are no longer in business. I personally love the mechanical drop shelf vendors from Laurel. No electrical components means zero headaches

I wish Laurel would come out with a new coin mech that can do higher prices. The $1.00 ones suck.

Wait. Laurel can only go up to $1.00? I didn’t know that.

They have mechs that take higher prices but don't fit the old door so, if you replace the Mech you have to replace the door - Not economically practical at that point you mas as well upgrade to electronic Lorel machines if that makes financial sense.

33 years ago we came out with the mechanical coin mech that goes up to $3.00. If you have the $1.00 max coin mech yes you need to change out parts, only the cabinet shell on the wall stays. Is it worth it, not in most cases but we do have some that still swear by the non-electric style.
