Title: Monthly usage cost Post by: brodiew on May 25, 2009, 10:02:38 am Trying to figure out how much it will cost me to run a soda machine that I just acquired. I would like to plug it in and start using it, but am a little worried about the monthly cost.
Any quick/easy ways to figure this out?? Thanks Title: Re: Monthly usage cost Post by: GreginNM on May 25, 2009, 12:51:05 pm I never saw any significant change in my power bill when I had two of my machines running, but I've always heard $10-$20 per month increase. Make sure the seals are good and that you keep it stocked full, and it shouldn't be a big deal at all. Enjoy that machine! What did you get?

If you are truly interested you can buy a usage meter here. http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_6970_200343851_200343851?cm_vc=C5503 Marvin Title: Re: Monthly usage cost Post by: brodiew on May 25, 2009, 04:46:43 pm I was given a Dixie Narco 180/105-5 Not very old, but FREE!!!! Also came with about $6 in the coin mechanism. None of the lights worked, they say it would not take any money, that everytime you put coins in they would just fall through. I tried it out and they were right... THe coins do fall though until you put cans in! Once I added cans it worked just fine.
Had to replace the 2 florescent bulbs in front, and need to replace the sold out lamps. After that should be just fine. |
