Are Misers A Good Option For Vending Machines?

By: Robert Farnham

There is a great deal of talk about vending machine misers going around right now. You may have heard conflicting information about them so you are dragging your feet about investing in them. These are devices that can make your vending machines run more efficiently.

The miser operates with the help of a motion sensor. If there is not activity in the vicinity of the vending machine, it will shut off the lights. As soon as motion is detected it will immediately turn them back on. Since many vending machines don't get too much business late at night this can be very helpful.

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.

You can get a vending machine miser for around $165. If this device can save you more than that in a year for the fees associated with the vending machine location then you should consider investing in one. They are very easy to install and they come with a very good warranty. It is very easy to tell if the vending machine miser is working. It has a green LED light to let you know. If three LED lights are blinking then you will need to take care of an issue with either the miser or the vending machine.

There seem to be many positive attributes to the use of vending machine misers. However, they are still in the early stages of use. There are some misconceptions circulating out there about their reliability. Generally though the issues end up being with the vending machine and not the miser. You do need to find out if the miser is going to save you money or not though before you invest in it.
