Let customers speak for us
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I ordered this BEAUTIFUL vending machine to use for my markets and it has been the best thing ever!! People are loving it and I am do grateful to this seller for matching my color and also communicating with me and answering all my questions. THANK YOU THANK YOU!
Love this machine!! It's light weight and easy to assemble/refill design have made it perfect for our small business' markets! Love the single coin operation with easy access coin retrieve bin too, so handy! Highly recommend! <3
Zach went above and beyond when I reached out for a rush order. These capsules were priced fairly compared to what you see on big name competitors. Highly recommend to purchase these with your vending machine instead of ordering elsewhere!
Zach went above and beyond when I reached out for a rush order. My sixth graders were so ecstatic to see this at back-to-school night and their families loved it so much that they have even donated items like 3D printed keychains for students. This was worth every penny and a fun investment that will last for many more years of my teaching career.
I love my vending machine but it came with a slight crack to the front and to the top. I blame the shipping but it is beautiful 😍 can't wait to use it at my next market!
So incredibly cute!!! Love how it turned out!
Love the size of these and I was honestly shocked by the quality of the material! I thought it would be those hard capsules that would shatter if stepped on but these ones are thick and flexible like you see in my photo with my thumb showing some give in it. They fit my 2 inch creations perfectly and close together with a click instead of screwing shut which I prefer. They fill about half of the machine so I will definitely be ordering another 50!
Oh my goodness I am OBSESSED with how this turned out!! It was definitely worth the wait with shipping and the quality is so much better than I expected. Zach was insanely helpful in showing me all the options of different shades of pink I could order with the extra filament to get the perfect color. I love that the logo comes with 2 of them and you can place them anywhere. The machine makes satisfying click sounds when turning with the token to dispense the ball. It does not come with the balls so you will need to order your own, pictured above is 50 of them that fills about half of the machine. Overall this has been a highlight of my summer, definitely worth the money, and I can’t wait to start filling it with my ceramics pieces! Thank you Zach!!
Machine is so fun, works smoothly and is made and finished well. Better than expected. Easy to assemble. Very clear instructions with pictures. Will hold at least 100, 2 in. capsules from shop. I had to order more capsules.
Order more than you think you’ll need. These are a good size.
Very excited to use this for an upcoming market. It looks great, and I'm thankful these folks could suggest colors to match my branding. Thank you!
Hands down my favorite thing I’ve given myself in a very, very long time. Introducing some surprise and mystery to my TBR pile of books is the weekly whimsy I needed and I couldn’t have found a better machine. The seller is kind, helpful and talented and I would recommend one of these to Everyone who needs a little fun In their life and didn’t want a bright red metal one! ❤️
I ordered this product to use as a mini mystery pottery machine - it works great!!
Gorgeous work and great seller communication! highly recommended!
just as described, works so well!!!
