has anyone purchased from this manufacturer

Is anyone own this product or any others in this category? If so, please provide info on how long, if you're full time, your generall feelings about healthy vending, etc. thanks

I like the sales pitch of a machine that holds more and provides more $/fill

for those who have both (or anyone else), were would you reccomend that I start? My objective is to start small, build up to 20-25k w/in 1-1.5 yrs., w/ mim out of pocket cost. Although I'm aware of the scams in this industry, i really do not see myself as "beating the pavement" for locations at the start. There's a soda/snack "deal" of 0% financing, <100$/mth for 1 machine w/ inside placement. I find the location. My lack of knowledge leads me to believe that w/ the right placement, I could see +$ relatively soon. Prior to that I was leaning towards bulk. Finally, I would like to commit to no more than 20hrs/wk, and I'm not a handiman. Is this feasible. Am I unrealistic? thanks for any response.

I currently have a primary bussiness, which is not vending. I'm seeking to diversify and supplement $. My primary goal is to add about 25K$ after expenses within 1-1.5yrs so that my wife can retire, for many reasons. I'm willing to put in 20-25 hrs/week to make 25k. I have looked into 1-800-vending (and there's a scam alert on them), as well as vendstar (another alert). I've read all of the posts on this website and I agree with the philosphy to start small. However, I am torn between buying low from sams/ebay (fear of failure/not a salesman for getting placements) and placing them myselves vs going w/a dealer (pay more $) and using their supposed placing/warranty systems. vendstar has said that I can buy low volumn. 1-800-vending advertizes the canisters, but it appears that vendstar has the same/similar set-up. I've also discovered a vendor who attaches vacations/gimics to their products (which I'm not fond of) but who apears to have contracts w/taco bell and the like w/ a reasonable entry point. I'm not looking to be the haire, i prefer to be the tortouise and build a good bussiness. In summary:

1. those of you who are w/any of these companies (or others), please inform as to your experience.
2. can vending be a feasible plan to reach my objective?
3. how would you do it, recognizing that if i can't place, i'll never get started?
4. what would you do differently from when you started?
5. i see the dealers as sort of an "easy way to start", as I like thinks laid out for me, then I learn and make adjustments. Am I fooling myself?

Any and all responses are welcomed.
