1. Price overview

The MINNO product page lists the following for the 55 inch touchscreen vending machine:

The reference configuration includes a 55 inch touchscreen, spiral goods tray with 6 floors × 9 slots, an adjustable 3°C to 20°C refrigeration system and a 4G/WiFi module. Because the page shows more than one range, please confirm the exact price for your configuration with the sales team.

2. What affects the price

• Goods tray type: spiral, direct pusher, conveyor belt or hanging slot.

• Elevator: adds gentle delivery for glass bottles, cans and fragile goods.

• Age verify scanner: an optional system for age-restricted products where legal.

• Customized stickers: branding on the cabinet.

• Card reader brand and payment options.

• Order quantity and destination: shipping, duties and terms.

• Software or integration needs: the machine includes an SDK.

3. Key specifications

4. 22 inch vs 55 inch

Both machines come from the same MINNO snack and drink vending machine range. According to the product pages:

Read more about the smaller model in What Is a Touchscreen Vending Machine and its product page. Please confirm current details, since pages may differ.

5. Which screen size should you choose?

Choose the 55 inch screen if:

• Advertising and brand display are important to you

• The machine will be in a high-traffic public area where it needs to attract attention from a distance

• You want to show detailed product information, ingredients and promotions

Choose the 22 inch screen if:

• Budget is a main concern

• The machine will be in a smaller or quieter location such as a small office

• You mainly need a clear selection and payment interface

Both models offer the same capacity of 6 floors × 9 slots, so the decision is mostly about visibility, branding and budget.

6. Payment systems and protocols

Listed payment methods include coins, bills, bank cards (credit cards), e-wallets, IC/ID cards and card readers from Nayax, ITL, ICT, Ingenico, Mei, PAX and OTI. The machine supports RS232 and MDB protocols.

When you order, tell your supplier which payment provider you will use in your market. This is the most common cause of delay in vending projects, since a reader must match both the machine and the payment network.

7. Warranty, certification and service

• Warranty: 18 months hardware warranty, with software updating.

• Service system: video technical support, free spare parts and online support.

• Certification: CE certified. CE is one of several possible requirements, so check what your destination market requires.

Ask what the warranty covers, how free spare parts are shipped and what response time to expect from online support.

8. Best locations

The product page lists these applications:

• Corporate offices and workplaces: employees get immediate access to snacks and beverages, replacing or supplementing canteens.

• Educational institutions: students and staff get quick refreshments between classes.

• Healthcare facilities: 24-hour access to food and drinks for visitors, patients and staff.

• Transportation hubs: airports, metro stations and bus terminals with grab-and-go options.

• Gyms and fitness centers: protein bars, energy drinks and water.

• Retail and hospitality: malls, shopping centers and hotels.

• Industrial areas and warehouses: on-site food options for workers.

Large screens are especially useful in open, busy places such as halls, concourses and lobbies, where the display attracts attention. See Snack and Drink Vending Machine Guide: Best Locations, Price Range and What to Check.

9. Total cost of ownership

The machine price is only part of the investment. Consider:

• Shipping, duties and installation (the machine weighs 400 kg, so plan handling)

• Product stock and restocking labor

• Electricity (450 W rated consumption, plus refrigeration)

• Payment processing fees and SIM card or network fees

• Maintenance and spare parts

• Location fees or revenue share

• Content creation for the screen

• Licensing and compliance for the products you sell
