This machine??

It's a combo machine made by Genesis. Looking for reliability, etc.

Thanks!

I recently bought this same Genesis GO380. I did have some "wiring" problems with it at first. The rep came and fixed it, not it works just fine. It was a bad wire causing the problem. As far as the coin mech, I've had no problems at all with that part. Everything in the electronics part works just fine though. Of course I've only had this machine for two months, and it was used when I got it.

We have gone back to Sam's on everything we can get except Combos. Vistar is good, but everything is more expensive at Vistar than Sams, except Combos. Combos are way more expensive at Sam's than Vistar. We have to go to Sam's anyway to get the candy because it is way cheaper at Sam's than Vistar. Then there are items that we can't get at Sam's that we have to buy from Vistar. We've gone back to getting our canned drinks from Sam's and Wal*Mart because Vistar just won't keep the price lower. We are having a huge problem with short dates on both Pepsi and Coke bottled products. I'm trying something at one location: We've put 16.9 oz Coke product bottles, and lowered the price a little, and the 24oz Pepsi product bottles, and raised the price a little to see how they do. Vistar has raised the bottled prices and still gives us short dates on the bottles. the 24oz Pepsi bottles from Sam's are cheaper than the 20oz bottles from Vistar. Sam's doesn't sell any 20oz bottles of anything. I think that is by design from Coke and Pepsi. We'll see how it works out.

Update on the drinks:
As it turns out the drink situation is working just fine. Instead of buying 20 oz bottled Coke and Pepsi products from Vistar at 79¢ or 80¢ each, we are buying 16.9 oz Coke and 24 oz Pepsi bottles from Wal*Mart at 50¢ and 52¢ each. It's working great! The Coke drinkers don't mind the smaller bottle with a smaller price than 20 oz, and the Pepsi drinks like having more to drink, even at a little higher price than the 20 oz bottles.
It's really working great!

Thanks that's great advice everyone. I am glad I found this site. Frozen Pastry as you explained would be a great advatage for me, unfortnately I end up throwing a lot of it away due to past expiration. Sams Club sounds better than Costco but it is an hour away. I am not sure if Costco would take stuff back. Also, I've notice certain items in those Frito Lay 50 pack boxes sell out faster than others at diferent locations. I have grown so always find a way to use product that moves slower but would like to buy just the items that really sell. It seems to me that what may cost less at Costco I would make up with Vistar on sheer volume due to selling items customers really wanted. Id be glad to spend 7 cents more per pastry if it meant I wouldn't have to throw 25 % of it away.
