This is a resurrection of the 'Ice 3' vending machine a few years ago. That machine lasted about a year before I had to replace the small internal fan. I decided to buy this one because it's a fun little machine that the kids enjoy getting their drinks without them opening the refrigerator door all the time. And, it looks cool. I'm hoping this one will last longer than the 'Ice 3' since the mechanics look identical.

I also have a Koolatron Vending fridge at my office. The Koolatron keeps the drinks colder but it only holds 10 cans, two in a holding area that you can only get to if you open the machine. I'm always running out of drinks and it seems i'm always opening up the door.

I like the Koolatron as far as it keeps the drinks colder but I like the Nostalgia because you can load 18 cans at once.

PROS: Looks, Holds 18-cans
CONS: Cans could be colder.

I got this for christmas last year, It was totally awesome.. Holds a 12 pack of soda and just looks cool. First couple months had no problems with it, after a while I noticed the fan runs really loud. I didn't think much of it. Then the noise turned into a loud hum..
Now the small door keeps falling off, i've probably fixed it 3 times now.. So I don't even use it anymore. Anytime I want a soda I just open the big door and pull on out.
For the money that was spent on this thing, I would of expected to be built a little nicer, and quieter..

I like this soda machine becauce it holds 18 cans of soda and 3 more cans for the display.I gave it a 4 star because it looks good and holds 18 cans of soda.It loads soda just like a full size soda machine.The box said cools soda"s down 20 degrees below room temerature.I also have a koolatron it cools sods"s down cooler but don"t hold as much soda"s.I might buy another one later on if they are still around and not a real hi price.I would have given it a 5 star if it cooled down soda"s more then it did.

I guess this review is really a seller's review. I am giving a product one star because I have never received it! I am still in a dispute with the seller and I do not know what the outcome will be yet. So far my experience has been quite frustrating. Sure wish it was different...
