The prices shown below are the average price points and are based on a twin tank, 10Ltr, slush machine.
Some slush firms proudly call these machines ‘Cheap’. These machines are usually imported from China, and cost between £1,000-£1,300. These machines are often inferior copies of premium brands like Ugolini or Carpigiani.
Advantages: They are affordable
Their disadvantages include their low price. They are not well-engineered, have poor engineering quality, and motor gear boxes consume more power than they should. It is difficult to find engineers to fix them or source spare parts. They are, in short, a waste of money.
Here’s an example of cheap, fake Chinese slush machines. Although they may appear good cosmetically, these are not authentic brands. These items are easily accessible on Alibaba for as low as $600, or £400. They can also be sold with large profits.
Machines in the mid-range range cost between £1,200 and £1,400. While some machines in this range work well and do the job, others have limitations.
Advantages – Affordable
There are some disadvantages. Some machines have a plastic base or casing. Others offer a longer freezing time.
Sencotel and Ugolini are premium machines. These machines are priced between £1,550 and £1,800. Our business only sells two brands and they are highly in demand.
Advantages: Superior build quality, less plastic and more stainless steel. Performance, speed of freezing and lower power consumption make this machine more durable than others. There are many beverage options, night mode, temperature setting, and other settings that can be used to freeze alcohol. The motor gearbox is also superior with only three failures in the past 15 years. This machine has been sold thousands of times.
Advantages – These products have a higher entry price than the cheaper alternatives but provide a better value for money.
Sites who purchased substandard slush machines elsewhere receive on average 50 calls per month, asking for parts or repairs. We don’t repair machines owned by other companies.
We recommend that you purchase premium slush machines and do it right the first time. Even if you only sell 25 drinks per day, there are huge margins available for slush sales. That equates to £5,000 per year. Do not fall for the cheap trap of purchasing a machine that isn’t worth your money.
