Gumball Machine - 12 Inch Candy Dispenser for 0.62 Inch Bubble Gum Ball and More - Vintage Heavy Duty Red Metal with Large Glass Ball- Easy Twist-Off Refill - Free or Coin Operated - by The Candery

I bought this 12-inch gumball machine from The Candery as a gift, and it was a huge hit! The vintage red metal base is sturdy and stylish, and the glass globe gives it a classic look. Setup was easy, and I love that it can be used with or without coins. It fits standard-size gumballs perfectly, and refilling it is a breeze thanks to the twist-off top. Great quality and a fun addition to any room or office!

I like this gumball machine. It works very well. It can be used with a coin or without a coin. It’s a nice size machine. Holds quite a lot of gumballs. It’s a well made machine. It’s great for parties. Fun to use. My daughter loves using this machine.

Worth it! A gift for my daughter, it is sturdy, and just like a real gum ball machine. It accepts coins so bonus points for also making it even more real!

I wanted to add a little, appealing touch to our garage sale tables and thought this might just be the ticket. Not only is it visually attractive, catching people's attention from a good distance away, but it encourages people to not only satisfy their sweet tooth, but to use some of their change after any sales to add to our profits. Filling is simple enough, just a matter of unscrewing a couple parts on top and refilling with your candy of choice. One thing I will say is that this is well made structurally and does not shift easily, even when empty. When using very small candy, a more than decent amount comes out of the bottom dispenser cup. I wish the area where the candy fell was a bit bigger though, as any candies outside of gumballs need you to pinch at the small well to get them all out. Also, there is an instruction to make the candies vend out without paying for them, but were much too confusing and tedious-looking to even attempt. Also, also, if your candies are small enough and you just shake the machine, a few might just fall through, so the opening seems to be open regardless of wither or not you're done dispensing. Maybe we haven't closed the latch al the way? If not, that's on us, but if not our fault that's a serious design flaw as that will horribly age your candies and allow for critters to get in, too. For now, we'll keep an eye on it and leave it as-is where you need to used a coin to operate it, as you can always open the top and get candy that way, too.

This gumball machine is a playful way to keep sweets around. The whole family gets a kick out of using it, especially the kids. It makes treats feel more like a treat than grabbing a handful of candy from a dish. It slows down my consumption and makes me think about how much I’m eating, haha. It works great for rewards for small kids. I like it for encouraging potty training… successful potty = coin for reward. It’s fun to put that coin in, slowly crank and see what and how much comes out. It’s pretty consistent with dispensing, one of larger items like gumballs, a small handful of something like skittles, a few larger chocolate covered peanuts. I was able to set the machine to take any size of coin, which was handy for my variety of coins. It can also be set for something in particular or just crank without coin., depending on what your need. The coin and dispensing mechanisms work smoothly. The base feels sturdy and well made. It feels high quality, like a commercial machine.

I got this for my retro style living room for the kids. It looks great and it’s built well. You do have the option to take it apart and go coin free. We left it as is cause it works as a good quarter bank.

Stopped functioning after a few uses. While trying to get it to work the glass broke. Worst $45 I’ve ever spent.

The quality of this is outstanding. This is a heavy metal gumball machine it is excellent would recommend for anybody or as a side hustle for money

Very nice and good qwality
