What Refurbished Actually Means Here
Refurbished gets used loosely in this industry. Sometimes it means a machine was wiped down and put on a truck. When we sell a refurbished unit it has been inspected, cleaned inside and out, repaired where needed, tested under load and confirmed working before it leaves, and you get told in writing what was replaced and what was not, including cosmetic wear.

Who Should Buy Used
Small offices where a new machine is more equipment than the traffic justifies. Startups and first-time operators keeping capital low on early placements. Seasonal or temporary locations. Second machines added to a building that already has one. And any budget-conscious buyer who would rather put the savings into product.
What to Check Before Buying Any Used Machine
- Has the refrigeration deck been tested under load, not just switched on?
- Are the coin mech and bill validator current models that still get parts?
- Can a card reader be fitted, and is the wiring there?
- Is the door seal intact and does the door close square?
- Are trays, motors and drop sensors all functioning?
- Who handles a problem in the first month, and is anyone local stocking parts?
Cashless Upgrades on Older Equipment
A machine that only takes bills and coins is leaving money in employees’ pockets. We fit card readers taking Apple Pay, Google Pay and Samsung Pay on used machines we sell and on machines you already own, usually the highest-return upgrade on an older unit. See all machines for sale.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our vending solutions and catering services.
How much cheaper are used machines?
Substantially less than new, though the gap depends on model, age and condition. We quote each machine individually in writing.
Are refurbished machines reliable?
A properly reconditioned machine runs for years in the right setting. The variable is refurbishment quality, which is why we document what was inspected, repaired and replaced.
Do used machines come with a warranty?
Warranty terms on used equipment are confirmed in writing on your quote, and they differ from new machine coverage.
Do you deliver and install used machines?
Yes, the same as new: placed in your room, configured and tested before we leave.
