I'd go ahead and get that thing for the kids play room but as a matter of policy I never buy anything from a seller with zero feedback! :tounge: :biggrin: :tounge:

Interesting post! I will have to balance my checkbook and get back with you!  :tounge:

On a more serious note, as a former DQ Asst. Manager and Brazier Chef 8) (a man of many hidden talents!  Boy, I could push a mean mop back in those days!), I would never purchase soft-serve out of a machine like that.  If the mix is not kept at the correct temperature--- :Oo: bacteria city  :oops: !!! :help:

We cleaned the spigots periodically throughout the day to insure that we never had that problem.  Additionally, we never left mix in the machines overnight.  The machines were emptied nightly, sanitizer was run through the lines and machine and then the machine barrel was removed and the auger and internal parts were sanitized.  Then we ran sanitizer through the lines in the morning before we filled the machines with mix.

 :biggrin: That is a good one Mills!  :biggrin:

Sorry Kilroy, the DQ days were a long time ago--but I did learn a helluva a lot from the owners about running a business the right way and providing good customer service!  Probably more than I learned at Wayne State when I got my MBA!  :oops:
