- Machine type. Snack machines are usually the least expensive. Refrigerated drink, combo and fresh food machines cost more because they include refrigeration.
- Brand and model. Larger cabinets, more selections and heavier construction raise the price.
- Indoor or outdoor. High security outdoor models such as the AMS Outsider sit at the top of the snack and drink ranges.
- Payment options. Cashless payment adds to the total. A&M carries credit card readers as well as bill validators and coin changers.
- Delivery. A&M ships to the contiguous 48 states. Shipping depends on your location and the machine, so see our delivery information or ask for a quote.
Smart Coolers, AI Kiosks and Micro Markets
If you are looking beyond a traditional spiral machine, A&M also sells newer unattended retail equipment. Current smart cooler listings range from about $3,300 for the HAHA Mini Smart Cooler to about $6,900 for the HAHA Ultra. The SandStar VRK AI Retail Kiosk is listed at $6,095.
For larger workplaces, Three Square Market micro market bundles currently range from about $3,300 for the Starter bundle to about $17,300 for the Large bundle.
How to Choose the Right Machine for Your Budget
Start with the location, not the price tag. A small office or shop with modest traffic can do well with a refurbished snack or drink machine. A busy break room, school or plant may justify a new combo machine or a pair of new machines. If you want to sell fresh food or larger items, look at smart coolers or a micro market.
