The right drinks vending machine depends on what you sell — cans, bottles, or both — and how much room you have. These are the formats of drink vending machines we carry.
| Format | How it works | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Can (stack) vendor | Vends cans from gravity-fed columns — the classic soda vending machine. Highest can capacity per cabinet. | High-traffic spots selling mostly canned soda (e.g. Dixie Narco 501E). |
| Glass-front bottle vendor | See-through door with a pick-and-place arm that delivers bottles, cans, and cartons gently — nothing gets shaken or dropped. | Locations selling bottled water, juice, energy drinks, and sports drinks. |
| Bottle & can combo vendor | Flexible columns vend both bottles and cans in one machine, with adjustable pricing per selection. | Mixed menus that need cans and 20 oz bottles side by side (e.g. Vendo 721). |
| Refrigerated cooler / smart cooler | Open-front or AI cooler for grab-and-go beverages, charged by camera or weight sensors. | Unattended markets — see our smart vending machines. |
