What is a Kooler Ice Vending Machine?

The Ice Vending Machine is a free standing, fully automated, ice machine that delivers ice and water to the customer through a self service vending process. The concept is simple, "ice is bought strictly out of convience." Size of the machine, shape or consistancy of the ice or the retail cost of a bag of ice is irrelevant to most of the ice buying public. As an INVESTOR in owning and operating a ice vending machine, "it's all about ROI." ICE is ICE. The KI510 and KI810 can also vend 1-gal. or 5-gals. of water at the same time the machine is vending ice.
