The Slices Concession 22-Point Inspection
Used equipment can be either be a great value or a big risk. Our factory-trained technicians take the risk out of the equation by putting every machine through a rigorous 22-Point Inspection—delivering reliability without the uncertainty.
Where Reliability Begins
We only sell machines that we have personally inspected and tested. When a machine arrives at Slices Concession, it doesn’t go straight to the sales floor. First, it must pass our 22-Point Inspection—a rigorous testing process led by our factory-trained specialists. This is the first step in earning the Slices Certified badge and ensuring that every machine we sell meets our high standards for performance, reliability, and longevity.
