SandenVendo · Cold Drink Machines
SandenVendo Vendo G-Drink
6.4Good
The SandenVendo G-Drink Standard DM6 is a refrigerated glass-front drinks machine with a vertical lift system. According to the manufacturer, the standard version holds up to 336 0.33-litre cans or 240 0.5-litre PET bottles; the wider DM9 holds up to 504 or 360 units, respectively. This verdict is a source-based data review, not a hands-on test of a machine: dispensing quality, fault rates, noise and actual replenishment capacity were not measured. Strengths include clearly differentiated variants, a refrigerated product range, up to 42 or 63 selections, and support for Executive/MDB payment interfaces. Before ordering, operators should specify the cabinet width, scope of delivery and refrigerant in particular. The energy consumption figures conflict: SandenVendo states 624 kWh/year, while Lavazza Professional states 252 Wh/h. On 02.10.2026, SnackMe listed the DM6 at €6,820 net without accessories, plus VAT and shipping; DGA Vending lists it at €6,850 and currently marks it as sold out. These are dealer prices, not the manufacturer's recommended retail price; check availability and final price before ordering. The DM6 suits indoor locations with less width to spare, while the DM9 is for operators seeking a wider selection.

Sielaff SiVend ST
7.5Good
The Sielaff SiVend ST is a professional, configurable vending platform for fixed indoor locations. Its strengths lie in visible product display and the ability to configure compartments, payment, and service for the specific site. This same configuration complexity makes ordering demanding: dimensions, planogram, payment scope, telemetry, and service must be documented in writing to match the specific build. For the reviewed configuration, dimensions of 790 × 1,830 × 880 mm and approximately 300 kg are documented. These are planning values, not a guarantee for every variant. The SiVend ST suits enterprises, educational institutions, and public spaces with predictable demand. For small or changing locations, the platform is often too complex. Our assessment: interesting for a planned vending operation, but reliable only after dimensional verification, pilot deployment, and a complete specification.
approx. €4,800 – €6,500

Bianchi Vending · Cold Drink Machines
Bianchi Aria L EVO
7.2Good
The Aria L EVO by Bianchi Vending is a freestanding spiral vending machine for cans, bottles, snacks and—via an optional accessory kit—sandwiches, with 44 sales compartments and a total capacity of up to 356 products across six to seven shelves. Unlike the smaller Aria S EVO product line, which according to manufacturer datasheet functions exclusively as a slave module paired with a hot beverage machine, the master version of the Aria L EVO operates as a standalone unit with its own coin validator, illuminated keypad and 3.5-inch colour display. The target audience comprises locations with approximately 100 to 250 daily visitors, such as office buildings, staff canteens or fitness facilities of comparable size. Weaknesses include: the guaranteed 3 °C cooling applies only to the two lower compartments according to datasheet, and card payment plus telemetry are not standard equipment but rather cost-addition options available through specialist retailers. At a net price of approximately 3,800 to 6,500 euros depending on configuration, the acquisition cost typically amortises at a well-frequented location through ongoing product sales within two to three years, provided that card payment is retrofitted as a minimum.
approx. €3,800 – €6,500

Crane BevMax MEDIA2
7.7Good
Glass-front beverage machine with 45 selection positions, 9-inch touchscreen, and genuine remote management — the only reviewed machine with documented telemetry. The catch is in the manual: the refrigeration unit is not serviceable on-site and must be returned entirely to the manufacturer.
