Buying a used soft serve machine might be a great idea for an entrepreneur with a tight budget looking to explore new market opportunities or refine their selection of products available for customers. The following are the top 2 things you should consider when buying a soft serve machine.

1. What's The Price Range Of A Soft Serve Machine?

The price of a used soft ice cream machine for sale depends on many factors such as: size, Brand, how much product it can hold, the amount of spigots (A.K.A. wands) & hoppers, if it's self cleaning or not, if it stands alone or is a counter top, & whether it's new or used.

For Example: a new machine with 3 spigots has a price range of $15,000-$20,000.

With any premium quality company, you can expect to pay more for an older model machine from a company like Stoelting, Taylor, & Electro Freeze which usually have larger hoppers & 3 spigots. You might pay less for brand new machines that are chinese or korean made but these machines will break down on you quickly leaving you with a large loss. At SlicesConcession.com we offer competitive prices and discounts on certain models. 

2. What Questions Should I Consider & Ask When Buying A Soft Serve Machine?

 You need to consider when buying a soft serve machine your needs & the machine's specifications:

• What technology does the machine need to have? temperature control? freeze rate?
• Do you need a machine that serves a low volume or a high volume of product?
• Do you need a warranty? How many years do you need the machine to last?
• How long will it take you to recover the cost of the machine?
• is the used machine easy to use & clean? or is a brand new model better suited?
• What is the resale value of this machine a couple years down the road.
