Planet Antares Reviews

  • May 9, 2014

I have 24 Antares machines. Most of them are less than seven years old. They are beginning to fail like cheap light bulbs.

The problem is that the refrigerator units were designed to be freezers. Since moisture is not a problem with freezers (it stays frozen) they can get buy with painted evaporators. However, when these units are converted for refrigerator use, the evaporators are constantly drawing moisture. This causes them to rust out in six to seven years.

I have tried to get Antares to sell me units to repair my machines. I have had no luck. Also, I have contacted Edina Technical Products, the actual manufacturer. I have had no luck with them either. It looks like they should be able to sell me replacement freezer units for $200.00 or less. These freezers (not converted) sell for less than $200.00 at Lowe's. They just won't do it. It looks like I am going to have to file a law suit big enough to take them out of business.

In the mean time, I am warning people. Don't buy Antares, Orion, Edina, or any vending machine that has a painted evaporator converted from a freezer unit.
