Waste of Money
My kids wanted a vending machine, but didn't have the room. I thought the PVM545 Pepsi Dispenser would be a good compromise, even after hearing the comments about the loud fan, not keeping drinks "ice" cold, and the presence of water where the drinks are dispensed, I decided it was worth the risk. Not only were all of the above concerns true, but after six months the fan stopped working. The online retailer referred me to the company that makes them (the Helman Group). I contacted the Helman Group and since it was past the 90 day warranty, Helman essentially indicated that I was out of luck. No, "Sorry, how can we make it right". No, "We can locate a part for you", No, "We can give you a partial credit for another machine". Just a standard form email that said were were out of warranty. Additional attempts to reach the company to try to get a part number or see if they had aftermarket parts went unanswered. Steer clear from this product and this unresponsive company.

Looks good, but doesn't keep drinks cold
My wife gave me this for my birthday (at my request), and I had high expectations. My first day with the drink dispenser was fine. I filled it with drinks that were already cooled from the fridge. It did an OK job keeping them cool. The first problem came when the fan noise stated to get louder and louder after the first week of use. It did not sound normal... but it eventually settled down. The second and most relevant problem came when I refilled it. This time with cans at room temperature. They never cooled. Not even after being in there for another week. They just barely managed to make it a few degrees below room temperature. I am very disappointed with this product.

It is as billed. I got this for my Dads birthday. He has not had a chance to set it up, but he very happy with it. It was shipped the very next day and my Dad received as of delivery date. Thank you for a smooth transaction.
