New Ice Cream Equipment VS Used Ice Cream Equipment

 

 

What's the difference between buying new and used/reconditioned ice cream equipment?

 

 

 

New Ice Cream Equipment

Full Selections

One of the main benefits of buying new is that you get a full selection of machines. That means you can find the right machine for your specific needs. It's important to find the right balance between under and over utilization.

 

 

Used/Reconditioned Ice Cream Equipment

Trust Is A Factor

If you search for used equipment online then we must warn you: Buyer beware. Make sure you're buying from a reputable distributor and they don't leave you high and dry when it breaks. You have to trust who you buy from.

 

 

 

A Soft Serve Unit Is An Investment

More importantly, this equipment is the centerpiece of your frozen dessert operation. It needs to be dependable in performance and efficiency and it needs to produce a product that meets your quality standards on a consistent basis. Remember, your customers don’t care what you invested. They only care about their experience when they visit. Your equipment plays a huge part in that experience.

Here at Sentry we do two things—sell and service the Electro Freeze brand of frozen dessert equipment. We are the experts in the market with over 40 years in the industry. As such, we recognize the importance of offering reconditioned equipment. But we also know that it has to be sold and reconditioned the “Sentry Way”. Therefore, all or our reconditioned frozen dessert equipment comes with:

  • Full Cosmetic Recondition
  • Full Mechanical Recondition from our Factory Trained Technicians
  • Delivery, Installation and Start up from our Sentry Team
  • Our Full Line of Consultation Services
  • Full 1 Year Parts and Labor Warranty 

 

 

 

 

 

What is Reconditioned vs Used?

A used machine is something you buy off the internet or from another operator selling their equipment. The equipment is “as is” and buying as such is a huge risk. It could cost thousands of dollars in repairs just to get the machine operational.

Additionally, we have seen customers waste their investment by purchasing a machine with the wrong type/model machine or the wrong electrical phase. Our reconditioned equipment is a completely different experience as it includes all the value added components mentioned above.
