Are Misers A Good Option For Vending Machines?

By: Robert Farnham

You may have heard the buzz out there about vending machine misers. Are they a good investment or just something to try to get your hard earned money? From what I have seen, vending machine misers may be a good investment. It really depends on the type of operation you have in place.

The reason for a vending machine miser is to make your machines operate on less electricity. They have a monitor sensor in them so they can tell when people are approaching them. If your vending machine is in a location where not too many people are going to be at night, then it could be a good idea.

It really depends on the location of where your vending machine is though. For example if it is close to a bus stop where people continually walk by at all hours, a miser isn't going to save you very much electricity. This is because it is going to remain active most of the time.

Another advantage of a vending machine miser is that is has advanced technology to detect the temperature around it. Drinks in a vending machine need to be cold when they are dispensed or consumers are going to complain. If the vending machine is in a cool location such as outdoors at night, the sensors will shut off the compressor. The drinks will still stay just as cool as before.

Some of the early statistics on vending machine misers claim they can cut the cost of electricity for them by as much as half. Now, most vending machine owners don't pay for the electricity but they do pay for the location where the vending machine will be located. This type of device on the vending machine could prove to be a good bargaining chip.

If you already have a vending machine in place, you should take to the owner of the location before you invest in a miser. You should already have a contract in place with them. If they aren't willing to reduce the cost of the rental area then placing a miser on the machine isn't going to improve your bottom line.

Some people aren't sure if a vending machine miser really works. After all, the machine is going to kick on when they get in the vicinity of it. One of the easiest ways to find out is to look at the LED lights featured on it. Once you install the vending machine miser you will be able to see a green light. This tells you it has been installed correctly and it is operating. If you check it and see three green lights rapidly blinking, you know you have problems. It could be with the miser or with the actual vending machine so look everything over closely.

While a vending machine miser can be very useful for your business, it depends on what your needs are. It is a very inexpensive way to cut down electricity costs and to reduce the wear and tear on various mechanisms inside of the vending machines. You can tell if it is working if one green light is displayed. If you see three green lights then you need to look everything over as this is a sign of a malfunction.
