I have started with two of those machines and I'm not going to buy more.
the machine is heavy, if you are swapping candy from the compartments i find it hard.
you need to buy the one that comes with tripple canister.
when it comes to placing a machine space is an issue it looks a bit bulky
and you may loose the location if you only carry that machine.
I also have a single and I'm planning to expand with singles or doubles.
they are more suitable machines to operate.
Most of the venders in here will agree going with singles or doubles.
If you are buying these tripples xyzvending sells them for $115 delivered

good luck

No they are not a good starter. Do yourself a favor, don't start with triples. You will have a hard time finding a location that will support three choices.

Ok, I have thrown up the red flag, stop right there. NO, NO, NO, NOOO. NO TRIPLES. Come on man, I typed that big long post about triples, and you want to buy one anyways?

1.START WITH SINGLE HEADS, GUMBALLS ONLY.

Triples are, big, and bulky. They are ugly, and your biggest costumer's can not tell what they are. That's right, KIDS CAN'T TELL WHAT A BIG, RED BLOCK IS. They take up WAY to much space, and buiness owners think they are ugly. NO!

ALL PEOPLE THAT START WITH TRIPLES, SWITCH TO DOUBLES/SINGLES. THAT IS A PROVEN FACT.

Start with A&A Global Ind, or OAK.

XYZ is now $125.

I only use triple heads for 6 years now, with Chicle tabs or Bubble gum as the "third" item, unless the customer requests something different. Gum is the cheapest product to fill, so if it does not move as well the other 2 carry the load.
Were only talking 15 bucks a month average. My state tax sticker has the same cost for 2 or 3 head anyway.
If I pull a machine for slow sales, dont think it would matter if it was one head or six heads.

Half of my machines are triple heads. I have Route Masters, Ashland's and Super Route Pros. Someone said that "the machine is heavy" I say that a machine being heavy is an plus, It makes it harder to steal. Someone said "Triples are, big, and bulky. They are ugly, and your biggest costumer's can not tell what they are" That's Bull, I have found that kids will always find the candy machine no mater if it is a triple or a single head machine. Someone also said "if you are swapping candy from the compartments I find it hard" Well I don't have a problem with changing out candy because I use a portable vacuum cleaner to remove the older candy. In my opinion Triples are great machines to start out with. I have never had a manager of a store tell me they wanted a single or double head instead of a triple. I have some triples that average $10 per month and some that average $100 per month. It has little to do with the machine and a lot to do with the location. Don't let someone tell you it all in the machine. I have found that as long as the machine is clean and looks good people will buy from the machine. So I say go for it.
