15 Best Vending Machine Ideas (2022 Updated)

I got this for Chrismas when I was 10 and as much as I hate saying it That was in 93, all my friends in the neighborhood would all come over with there penny just so they could get there gum ball, OR some times I would do M & M’s.

My dad always had to keep extra on hand for when we emptied it, I would definitely recommend this for kids and adults that are kids at hart. MY brother ended up breaking it about 5 years later UNFORTUNATELY!!! And never got it fixed cabt remember why , BUT great product for sure.

Gumball Machine Bank Metal Base Glass Globe is a gift for our Granddaughter, she love the Gumball Machines at the Malls, She is Autistic, and she waits to get her hand full of candies. We will be giving her the: Gumball Machine Bank Metal Base Glass Globe for Christmas.

Thank you.

Well this is a positive, happy part of our main room. Total smile bringer. The only issue I’m having is deciding what to put in it! I am excited about holiday color options, like candy corn for October and winter mints for Christmas perhaps!.

Very heavy unit. Great quality. Just a pain to install the coin part. Overall a excellent price and machine. I will be purchasing another unit for another property soon.

The Three Column Laundry Soap Vending Machine is well made and doesn’t jam easily. The price is great for the quality. I would definitely recommend.

Shipping was very quick and the item was packaged well. Everyone is very happy with the new soap vending machine, which we purchased for the laundry room used by the residents of a 7-unit apartment house.

The Great Northern Movie Matinee Popcorn 8 ounce machine is great. I decided to purchase this one after reading reviews on this machine as well as other manufacture’s popcorn machines. I am glad that I did I chose the Great Northern machine! It is the “Real Deal”! Nicely constructed, looks great and makes very good movie style popcorn.

Comes with popcorn scoop, popcorn serving bags, measuring cups and popcorn serving box containers. My wife has always wanted a popcorn machine and she is completely trilled with this one, as am I. I have read a few negative reviews on this machine and after purchasing it, I can’t see why the negative reviews were written.

It is exactly as described and a wonderful machine to have in any home or business!.

What a delicious addition to our theatre room! This machine is beautiful, the perfect size and so easy to clean. We bought the recommended packets of oil and corn and have not been disappointed. We also bought popcorn salt and the results are just like movie theatre popcorn!.

I got this as a potty training reward system for my toddler and I’m very pleased with the quality of this gumball machine. It’s exactly what it is advised as. It holds several different sized candies.

I have personally used it for M&M’ s , Peanut M&M’ s , and Whoppers. It feels and looks a lot more expensive than it was. The globe is made of real glass and the body is a nice candy apple red metal.

I love that you can choose to have a coin setting or a free turn setting to release candy. The bank part of this is easily accessible and also hold quite a few coins. I would recommend this to anyone.

It is exactly what I wanted. Just one problem. I filled it with proper sized gumballs, but it doesn’t work. The mechanism accepts the penny. Turns and accepts the penny, but no gumball comes out. I have tried taking it apart three times, but still can’t get it to work.

I recommend that prospective buyers save your money.

These were a hit at my circus themed party for my boys. The kids loved them and couldn’t believe they were getting a real gumball machine and not the cheap plastic kind. They are very nice looking and sturdy.

They don’t come with gums though (which I didn’t read and thought they did based on the picture). So, had to buy the gums separately.

I just got it and it is as described. Seems well made and works smoothly. One pleasant surprise was that it has a grip bottom so it doesn’t slide around which is good, I didn’t recall that in the description.

It worked great the first time and every time since with the small gum balls. The. 62 feeds one gum ball each time.

Unfortunately, I cant give an actual review of the product. My daughter opened on Christmas morning and the glass was shattered to pieces. Returning for a refund.

I’ve had mine 23 years and even though I’m not in the antique appliance business anymore, I won’t get rid of it, it’s too handy! Mine is the older 72″ tall model and is rated at 1500lbs. I recently moved a friends 6 foot tall gun safe from one house to another all by myself! Those kick-out wheels are great for standing on to get the leverage to tilt those really heavy items.

THIS DOLLY IS TOPS. HEAVY DUTY CONSTRUCTION. GREASE ZERTS ON ALL FOUR WHEELS. NICE CANDY APPLE PAINT FINISH. QUICK STRAP AUTO RETURN. THE DOLLY IS WORTH EVERY PENNY SPENT ON IT. THE DIFFERENCE IN A CHEAPER ONE AND THE WESCO, CAN NOT EVEN BE CONSIDERED.

TRUST ME , BUY THIS DOLLY, YOU WILL NOT BE LET DOWN BY IT IN THE LEAST. HAPPY HAULIN.

They are shopkins. so very cute. My granddaughter did chores for me to earn money. She paid for this herself. You did not send the one I ordered. So. wailing and nashing of teeth! Broken hearted kid.

Nowhere does it say that you may get a different one than what is pictured. I won’t order from this seller again.

I bought these for my shadow box. These are so stinking cute. There are so many to look for to complete the series. These come with an outside piece and a little one to put inside. These can come in a large pack or a small pack.

These are so fun to look for with my granddaughter. She always tries to find new ones when we go to the store. It’s like a huge scavenger hunt.

My daughter loves them. They’re little items that have personal packaging for themselves. They also have a “scanner” which my daughter loves to use to pretend she’s scanning items at the store lol Very similar to shopkins.

My daughter definitely wants more.

I bought this to pepper my niece with as many bubbles as possible. The machine is simple and easy to use. Full it up, turn it on. I didn’t buy chauvets solution. Instead I read multiple recipies and tried to make my own.

After a day of trying various bubble potion concoctions, I wasn’t satisfied with the output. I ordered the bubble solution from chauvet (BJU) and it made all the difference! It’s filling the yard with bubbles that wander up over the single story home and into the neighborhood.

Definitely worth the money if you need a lot of bubbles.

my bubble Machine is about 5 years old now, it still works fantastic. great quality and puts out a massive amount of bubbles. would highly recommend if looking to get one

We have only had this machine a couple weeks so far, but there are definitely things I can comments on. First, it is easy to operate and price everything up etc. The instructions are pretty easy to follow.

I like the fact that it is a combo machine which make things easier to manage. For the snack section there is 1 row for large items (chips), 1 row for medium sized (cookies) and 1 row for small items (candy bars).

Wish there were more large bins, maybe one row could have more than one size. We don’t need near as many small bins as large ones. For the dink section, I do like the flexibility of some of the bins being able to vend either cans or bottles.

However, the top rack for drinks makes for a long drop for cans. Also there is a protrusion where cans on the top row on the end bin hit when dispensing (see pictures that show the protrusion and what it did to a can).

This is something they need to fix design wise. I am going to have to attach some foam or something over this protrusion or not use the end bin. Bottom line is I wouldn’t use the top row for cans period, and maybe even bottles as even the bottles have a pretty thin skin these days.

Also I would not count on the rebate program for much. They provide a listing of SKUs you can buy for the rebate program, but it is VERY hard to find many of these. Also you can key in the SKU for an item on the Sam’s website and find it, but when you actually select it, the SKU changes (e.

g. Butterfingers). And there rules are very clear, the SKUs must match or you don’t get the rebate. For the Frito variety packs, not one of the rebate SKU’s were found in my local SAM’s. So I’m not real happy about that.

Overall, I am glad I got the machine. The customer service and support have been excellent. I just think they could do a little better job in designing the interior so as to not cause damage to product, and I think the rebate SKUs should be more readily available.

I would purchase another machine in a heart beat and it has been working great! The card read do not purchase. Purchase from another vendor that is not with Cantalope or Greenlite. Took over a month and a half to get it going and lost sales.

One gets the run around trying to setup the readers. Tried to setup readers with other banks to by pass Greenlite and this was not allowed with the reader.

We purchased this vending machine brand new $5,000 from Sam’s – within the first month that we bought it the machine stopped cooling our drinks. The machine showed that it was 90 degrees where the soda’s were being stored.

I called customer service and they did trouble shoot the machine with me and that did not work. So they sent me a part out to replace the compressor or whatever cools the machine. The machine worked for about 2 weeks and then stopped cooling again.

I called customer servicer AGAIN and they sent out a repair man to fix the machine. He said the part that was sent out was a used part and that it was defective. He repaired the part and got it to work.

About 3 days later the vending machine stopped working/cooling again. It has been almost 2 months now that we have not been able to sale drinks because the vending machine does not cool. We have called customer service almost daily to get someone to repair it and to check on getting a new part.

The repair man showed up today and is working to replacing the defective part – however he pointed out to us the part that was shipped was once again a “Used Part” – so issues may arise again. Uggggh.

Buyers remose big time! Do not purchase this machine.
