If you want to give this business a shot, we are looking to sell our machines. Shoot us an email at owner@freezingtexas.com if interested.
Been doing this business for a long time. I've helped hundreds to get into this business successfully. My page is full of straight to the point videos. Love what you did here. And I hope it helps many put hopes aside so logic can guide them to a profitable venture. Thank you sir for sharing.
Car washes car bad locations to put ice vending machines, Bait shops, Colleges, Marinas, outdoor concert venues are the best spots
hope this helps
Outstanding video! good accurate job IMO.
Great video thank you so much
Very accurate! Great video. I have one of these machines, I agree with your assessment.
You rock for doing this research and summarizing the information.
Seems like you have the chops for hustle---what other ventures are you working on?
@@MindBuilders Appreciate it. Have several irons in the fire, and that's part of the problem with the ice business...requires more time and attention than many are led to believe.
Extremely accurate!
thank you my guy.
Thanks for your candid feedback!
This was very informative and gave a realistic perspective on the business given your experience. Do you think the new summit series is worth buying from Everest or are the older machines a better option? Great video!
Just watched the summit series video. Looks like they made a few tweaks to the machine design. But the bigger question is would any of those improvements help you sell more ice and water. I didn't see anything that would result in more ice sales in my opinion. So you really need to be thinking about return on investment. In which case you would be MUCH better off going with a used machine. There are tons of great deals available on the after-market. I'm even selling mine if you want to consider that as an option.
Thanks for sharing. My story sounds super similar to yours with delays making us miss our first season. In 2022. Last year wasn’t great but the location wasn’t great either. We just moved to a new location and hoping to see improvements. What is your strategy moving forward know what you know now?
Hope your new locaiton works out better. It really comes down to two options: risk moving to a new location (and spend what's necessary to prep the new site) and pray it goes better or sell the machines. I don't know how willing we are to gamble again on a new location.
Interesting take. Thanks for the honesty. Now are the problems you mentioned Everest related or ice vending industry problems?
Probably a mix of both. When it comes down to it, a good location is THE most important thing regardless of which machine you use. If you have a strong location you will do well and then it just comes down to which machine is more reliable and if it's easy for customers to use.
Very good info, thank you. Now I can stop watching all of their UA-cam promo videos.
Anyone who goes into this thinking big bucks, and that you'll be the smart salesman who can sell ice to an Eskimo, you actually are the Eskimo who gave 20,000 away. Understand, everyone needs to understand that you cannot have an attitude of "passive income". Income is earned, blood sweat, tears, stress, sleep loss, exhaustion, pain, turmoil, and all the other pains that come with great success....that doesn't come from looking for an easy way out, or short cutting....you will never be as good as you want to be without crap tons of work.
You're absolutely right.
Sorry to hear about the struggles of the business. I'm curious, how are you listing the purchase price of the machines as a year loss? Were they only financed for a year or purchased outright?
I think we only put about $2k down on them and financed the rest so the monthly loan payment was included in the calculations in the video.
Would having the machine on an enclosed trailer be a crazy idea? Of course you’d need a tank for water and a generator but that would you could move the ice machine around easily to a new location.
I think it's an interesting idea. But would probably work best as a business that provides temporary ice and water service at events or new construction sites (which I don't know how big of a market there is for that). I don't think it would work as a location the surrounding community come to because it would be hard to gain traction with repeat customers since relying on the machines to be there in a set location would be important to give a community confidence they should plan to make the drive to the machines. Just my two cents.
Their marketing is GREAT! The results are garbage. Yeah those profit numbers don’t account for 1. Dead compressor fans downtime 2. Coin jams 3. Other serial failures 😡😡 Everest is gonna sue you for defamation.
I forgot, the half bag vends during low sales, the poor construction, control boards failing (x3), broken ice chutes…
Do you know where people are selling their everest machine online?
Search for everest owner FB groups. They are posted there a bunch. And usedvending.com. Or email me, ours are for sale owner@freezingtexas.com
Your machine is down the road from mine... that's epic. I was like... I know this location! My sales are GARBAGE as well! I did this to start a new lucrative business to invite extra cash flow on the side. I make about $10 a week maybe and spend $460 a month in utilities. 60k out the door 1 year in and less than 2k in sales. It's really bad to be honest!
Whoa! I'm sorry to hear that. Is your machine near our Keller or Grandview location?
How much the machine cost
Too much :)
You can find used machines in the $28k-$35k range.
Everest may be in for a class action lawsuit!
