We absolutely agree! Thank you for your watching our video. Be on the lookout for the next one!

I know one thing if Jamie Ibanez says something you better listen

Just installed one for a customer .. Everest has a map they give u of scouted locations and business owners who are willing to house a machine.

Jaime you literally helped inspre me to get into the vending machine business so I pulled the trigger and got one. Location is a huge factor thats for sure! I will add not much risk as these machines are built nicely and are user friendly ish.

​@@Nightwan009how do they hold up against hott weather and is it easy to have it maintenance as in I'm guessing any hvac or a specific professional?

how much does it cost for it to be mantained ?

@@user-kg7zr3yl3n it all depends. I've seen some 8 years old that never been cleaned & have to be completely taken apart sometimes parts need to be replaced at that point too because no matter how hard you try you won't get it properly cleaned & sanitized. I've charged upwards of $1,000.00 just for a cleaning but we really genuinely clean & sanitize it. Then we wait for the machine to make about 5-10 sheets of ice & dump hot water to get rid of all the ice after cleaning & sanitizing

If you buy it brand new & have it scrubbed once a year then also have a clean & sanitize cycle ran through it once a year it will stay relatively clean & parts will last longer.

& mind you I'm not talking about these machines I've never serviced one of these machines before I'm talking bars restaurants shit like that I've done a few hotel ice machines etc.

I’m new to the hvac trade 2 years in And I’ve learned how nasty ice machines are Unless it’s an auger machine no ice for me

Teach me bro 🔥

Which machines are u using

@@spideys2 the big ones

what machines u talking about big dog?

@@cestgum7672 whatever looks good on OfferUp.

How much do you make per month

@tropnetic ice sales are best measured by the year, most places have very flat fall and winter sales. I might do 2k in January and 15k in July. But each of my machines broke 90k gross last year.

@@Ice.water.laundromats thank you for explaining that to me I've been looking into the ice machine business has an investment opportunity. Right now I just got started driving with my box truck running under my cousin's authority. And instead of buying me a fast cool car I'm looking into business opportunities for investment opportunities

You might not have 40k but there might be a bank who will lend you 40k.

@@Ekeezee lol getting debt for an unproven ice vending machine terrible risky idea

@@wazup3333 i agree. My point was that you can get the money else where

@@wazup3333 i mean, its potentially going to make you more money 🤷🏽‍♂ asking as you know what you're doing its not a gamble but an investment

Sameee

Thanks for watching! We're glad to know that you love our video. If we may ask, what other types of video would you like to see on our channel?

I have 3 and each one brings in 30+ k

@@murphy3558 gross ? Or net ? How about some costs in my experience it wasn't very lucrative I am very suspicious of all these random guys who allegedly have 3-40 machines n make a bazillion bucks per location, many gas stations sell less than 1,000 bags of ice per month , in addition the locations I had them at were busy one was a truck stop style gas station in Florida so please do share 😉

@@murphy3558 I have 1 and I make $65k

@@mikem2022 I will like to speak with you Mike about this business.

@@mikem2022 Im interested in hearing about your experience. How is it going so far? Im on the fence to buy one.

Not if it's always broken broken broken

It's usually bad product bad product bad product

Beach probably be a good idea

Fun stuff, thanks for sharing! What other types of video would you like to see?

Sounds like Fuad good luck.

Ay let us know how it goes

Following

Please keep me informed if it has gotten delivered, thank you for your time

Lol u got scammed if u aren't lying

You don't. Probably easier to put it infront of your own business. Most business already have their own ice machine and would most likely say no to you because they would lose money. I would say, possibly at a office company, but even that is a little pushing it. Would make no sense to put it there.

@@athanasiosgiogakis you’re probably right. however, I thought I read or heard somewhere that this kind of business doesn’t need to pay the business owner because it “brings in traffic.” In my mind, I would think you tell the owner you give him 10% or something.

@@athanasiosgiogakis that's exactly what we did me n my partner had 3 out front of our busiest gas stations we had problems with theft and with reddy ice prices so we tried it big regrets

@@Mr_Zesty if you give him 10% he only makes $.20 on a $2 bag of ice he can buy it from reddy ice and pay $1.25 and sell it for $2 or more making over 3 times the profits

Water vending gives me 33% so on both ends I'd lose money if took 10% maybe if it was a strip of dirt on a busy road they would let you but then you gotta install pipes n meter for electric

Yes but you can finance it or lease it

@@StrokeMahEgo terrible idea getting debt for a concept and economically unproven machine.

I contacted them a few days ago (Aug2022) and they said about 50k

We do hope you'll reach your target profits! How can we help?

It's no secret the most money is on making videos about these machines not in owning them I've owned three wasted time n money

I live in Arizona so yea I do

@@Trauma_Rc lmao same

I’m in miami so yes winter is our busiest season

Keep it inside

Same reason this dude is doing videos about it instead of just buying ice water machines lol

@@WideAwakeHuman it's a scam? not profitable??

@@joshuachen6591 it's not that but think convenience and I mean where are you gonna put ..yes if you live by a beach it's great but say you live 2 hours out ..or repairs ..but aside from that literally how many people are lining up for ice and water ..they usually grab from store and or they have a yeti and just make their own ice..but again even aside from that lol how many people are gonna by this so let's say it's 3 bucks for 20lb ice...how many lbs a month do you think that thing produces 1000? That's only 150 bucks profit..that machine has to cost 15k minimum

@@tammermashni8541 this machine is good in hot countries like my country the only problem is where to put it and pay the rent space

@@tammermashni8541 these machines on average bring in $2-5k a month in revenue. Also on the larger scale these machines can make 13,000lbs of ice in 24 hours. The smaller ones like this video still make a respectable 1-2,000lbs a day. So how about you do your research

It’s free if you find it yourself

Or really any soda company. For example coca-cola takes water from people in the east who need it then they will sell it back to them as Coke.
