Touch Screen Vending Machine for Sale: Sizes, Uses and Prices

A touch screen vending machine replaces the keypad and glass-front labels with a screen the customer taps to browse, read product details, pay or log in. You can buy one from us in four shapes: a 10-inch sidecar machine, a narrow 10-inch machine, a full-size 22-inch machine, or a compact wall-mount unit with an optional 7- to 32-inch screen. This page gives the sizes, the published prices and what the screen is for. It also covers what to check in any listing of touch screen vending machines for sale, and when a screen is money you don’t need to spend.

Quick answer

• Published starting prices: BG10X10 (10-inch sidecar) from USD 1,200; K180-6C locker kiosk (21.5-inch) from USD 1,800; KF10X22 (22-inch) from USD 2,100; compact wall-mount USD 800–1,500. Freight, duty and installation sit on top.
• Small spaces: the KF6X10 is 616 mm wide with a flush 10-inch screen; wall-mount units take no floor space at all.
• What the screen does: product browsing, a multi-item cart, nutrition and product information, on-screen QR payment, badge or PIN login, languages, and advertising when idle.
• A screen is not the same as smart. Ask what the machine reports to the cloud and what you can change remotely.
• Build time: 4–6 weeks for a modified standard model (single units accepted); 8–12 weeks for a fully custom design (typically 10 units or more).

Touch screen vending machines for sale: the models and sizes

Every KioskForce machine is built to order around what it dispenses, but these are the platforms the touchscreen builds start from. The figures come from our product pages.

Model	Screen	Cabinet (W × D × H, mm)	Selections	Payment	Indicative price (USD)
BG10X10	10-inch sidecar touchscreen	1,110 × 820 × 1,975	3- to 6-wide, 5 or 6 trays	QR, MDB cashless, MDB coin and note	from 1,200
KF6X10	10-inch, flush with the door frame, QR scanner in the frame	616 × 735 × 1,970	3-wide, 6 trays	QR-based payment	quoted per configuration
KF10X22	22-inch touchscreen	1,310 × 820 × 1,975	4- or 5-wide, 5 or 6 trays	MDB cashless, note reader, coin mech	from 2,100
K180-6C locker kiosk	21.5-inch multi-touch	750 × 400 × 1,830	6 locker cells, expandable	Per project	from 1,800
Compact wall-mount	Optional, 7 to 32 inches, or screen-free with QR	Typically 400–600 × 200–350 × 600–900	6 to 30+ coils	Free vend, QR, SMS code, MDB cashless	800–1,500

The BG10X10, KF6X10 and KF10X22 come ambient or refrigerated (R290 or R134a). Every machine ships with a 4G module and WiFi and reports to the Vending on Track cloud dashboard, which is included rather than sold as a subscription tier.

Screen size is a price point in its own right. A 10-inch sidecar, a 21.5-inch kiosk screen and a 22-inch full-size screen cost different amounts, and so does a 32-inch advertising screen on a wall unit. For prices across every machine type, see vending machine cost.

What the touch screen does that a keypad cannot

A conventional machine shows the product through glass and takes a selection number. The screen changes what the machine can sell and how:

• Browsing with pictures and names, instead of a coil number and a printed label. Useful when products look alike in their packaging, or when the range changes often.
• A multi-item cart. The customer picks several items and pays once. Each card transaction carries a flat fee, so one payment for five items costs less than five payments. See shopping carts.
• Product and nutrition information. A tap opens a panel with calories, allergens and ingredients. See nutrition information display.
• Payment without extra hardware. The screen can show a QR code that the customer scans with a wallet app such as WeChat Pay or Alipay. Card and phone contactless still need an MDB cashless terminal. See payments.
• Login before dispensing. RFID badge or PIN for staff PPE, tools or free products, with per-user quotas.
• Questionnaires and codes. A short eligibility questionnaire or a code from a web registration, then a dispense. Public-health machines use this to keep products free at the point of use.
• Languages. The interface can switch language, which matters at airports, campuses and tourist sites.
• Advertising when idle. Images and video play between transactions, managed remotely. See vending machines with advertising screens.

None of this needs the screen to be large. A 10-inch screen at arm’s length handles browsing, a cart and payment well. Size starts to matter when the screen has to be seen from across a room, which usually means advertising.

Touch screen vs keypad vending machines

	Keypad (glass-front) machine	Touch screen vending machine
Customer sees	The product through glass, a price label, a selection number	Pictures, names, prices, product details, promotions
Selection	Key in a number, one item at a time	Tap, with a cart for several items
Payment	Coins, notes, a card reader	The same, plus on-screen QR wallets and account or badge login
Changing prices	Re-label the machine on the next visit	Change once in the dashboard; the screen updates
Information shown	Whatever fits on a label	Nutrition, allergens, instructions, languages
Advertising	Printed wraps	Video and images, scheduled remotely
Cost and failure points	Lower	Higher: a screen and its computer are one more part to fail
Best for	A small, stable range sold on price	Mixed ranges, information-heavy products, logins, quotas, ad revenue

The keypad machine is not obsolete. If you sell twelve snacks to the same office every day, it does the job. A screen earns its cost when the products need explaining, the users need identifying, or the screen itself can earn money.

Small touch screen vending machine options

“Small” means different things depending on what you are short of.

Short of width. The KF6X10 is a 3-wide machine 616 mm wide, against 1,110 mm for the BG10X10 and 1,310 mm for the KF10X22. It keeps a 10-inch screen flush in the door, with the QR scanner built into the frame. Payment is QR-based, so it suits sites where customers pay by phone or log in, rather than ones that need cash.

Short of floor. A wall-mount unit carries no floor footprint. Typical cabinets are 400–600 mm wide and 200–350 mm deep, with 6 to 30+ coil selections. The touchscreen is optional, from 7 to 32 inches, and a screen-free build that releases products by QR code is a supported configuration. Wall-mount units dispense HIV self-test kits in the HIVConnect program across 6 Australian states and in MyTest at 16 NSW locations.

Short of depth. A 300 mm deep cabinet will not hold the products a full-size 820 mm machine holds. Measure your largest product before choosing the cabinet, and lay it out with the planogram configurator.

A small touch screen vending machine gives up capacity, not features. The cart, QR payment, login and remote management work the same on a 10-inch screen as on a 22-inch one.

Is a touch screen vending machine a smart vending machine?

Only if it is connected. A touchscreen is the interface; “smart” describes what the machine reports and what you can control remotely. A screen machine that has to be visited to count stock is a digital machine, not a smart one. See smart vending machines for the full comparison.

KioskForce touchscreen machines are built connected. They send sales, stock, temperature, door events and faults to the cloud dashboard, and prices, happy-hour discounts and screen content can be changed remotely. If the network drops, the machine buffers its data and syncs when the connection returns.

What to check before you buy touch screen vending machines for sale

Listings often show a screen size and a price and little else. These are the questions that separate one listing from another:

1. What is the screen for? If it is only a payment screen, a 10-inch sidecar is enough. If it must sell advertising, you need size, brightness and content tools.
2. Touch technology, brightness and cover glass. Ask which touch type, how many nits, and whether the glass has an impact rating. See choosing a vending machine touch screen.
3. What does the machine report, and to which platform? Ask for the dashboard, the data plan and the subscription cost.
4. Does the card report show the product, or only the amount? On our machines, the item-level record comes from the machine’s own telemetry.
5. Which payment terminals are supported, and is the reader you already use one of them? Most cashless readers connect over MDB (Multi-Drop Bus), the industry standard maintained by NAMA, whose cashless section was last revised in version 4.3.
6. Refrigeration and refrigerant. R290 and R134a are both offered on our full-size models; the EU is moving away from R134a.
7. Voltage and plug. Machines are built to the destination supply. See power and compliance.
8. Who handles warranty and spare parts in your country? Screens, controller boards and vend motors are ordered from us, or through the local distributor that supplied the machine.

Accessibility and labelling rules that touch the screen

This is a summary for planning, not legal advice. Rules change; confirm with the regulator where the machine will stand. Facts as of October 2026.

US accessibility. Under the 2010 ADA Standards, where vending machines are provided, at least one of each type must comply with section 309 (operable parts, §228.1). That means a clear floor space and controls within the reach range: 48 inches (1,220 mm) maximum and 15 inches (380 mm) minimum above the floor for an unobstructed forward reach (§308.2.1). On a tall screen, keep the buttons people must touch inside that band. In its 2022 advance notice of proposed rulemaking, the US Access Board wrote that many vending machines are now essentially self-service transaction machines, “offering a wide-array of choices via a video display, and utilizing touch-screen input”. It also noted that the current guidelines do not address access for users who are blind or have low vision. For a buyer, that means designing for audio output and tactile navigation now costs less than retrofitting them later.

US calorie labelling. FDA’s vending rule (21 CFR 101.8) applies to operators of 20 or more machines and to operators who register voluntarily. For electronic machines with a digital or LCD display, calories must be shown before the customer buys. A touchscreen can show them on the product screen; whether your products and fleet are covered is your call as the operator.

We build to the requirement you specify. We do not certify a machine as compliant with accessibility or labelling law.

Where a touch screen is the wrong answer

• A small, stable range sold for cash to regulars. A keypad machine is cheaper to buy and has one less part to fail.
• Sites where nobody should linger. A washroom or a clinic corridor often suits a screen-free unit that releases products by QR code from the user’s own phone.
• Rough, unsupervised sites where you won’t pay for protected glass. A screen with no impact-rated cover is a target. Either specify the glass or leave the screen out.
• When you only want advertising. If nothing is sold, a digital sign is cheaper than a vending machine.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a touch screen vending machine cost?

KioskForce publishes indicative starting prices: the BG10X10 with a 10-inch sidecar touchscreen from USD 1,200, the K180-6C locker kiosk with a 21.5-inch screen from USD 1,800, and the full-size KF10X22 with a 22-inch screen from USD 2,100. Compact wall-mount units with an optional screen are USD 800 to 1,500. Refrigeration, payment hardware, screen size, custom panels and quantity move the price, and freight, import duty and installation are added on top.

What is the smallest touch screen vending machine?

On the floor, the narrowest KioskForce touchscreen model is the KF6X10: a 3-wide machine 616 mm wide, 735 mm deep and 1,970 mm high with a flush 10-inch touchscreen and a QR scanner in the door frame, ambient or refrigerated. Where there is no floor space at all, a compact wall-mount unit typically 400 to 600 mm wide and 200 to 350 mm deep can carry a touchscreen from 7 to 32 inches, or run screen-free with a QR code.

What does the touch screen on a vending machine actually do?

It replaces the keypad and the printed price labels. Customers browse products with pictures, open product and nutrition information, add several items to a cart and pay once, scan or display a QR code, choose a language, or log in by RFID badge or PIN before a free or quota-limited dispense. When nobody is using it, the same screen can play images or video as advertising, managed remotely across a fleet.

Is a touch screen vending machine the same as a smart vending machine?

Not necessarily. The touchscreen is the customer interface; a machine is smart when it is connected to a cloud platform that reports sales, stock and faults and lets you change prices and settings remotely. A screen machine that must be visited to find out what it sold is only a digital machine. Every KioskForce touchscreen machine is built connected over 4G or WiFi, with the cloud dashboard from our software partner Vending on Track included.

Can I buy just one touch screen vending machine?

Yes, for a modified standard model with changes such as colour, branding or payment configuration. Those take about 4 to 6 weeks to build. Fully custom designs with a new enclosure or custom software typically start at 10 units and take 8 to 12 weeks, with software scoped separately. Shipping time is on top. Machines carry a 12-month warranty covering manufacturing defects.

Do touch screen vending machines have to meet accessibility rules?

In the US, the 2010 ADA Standards require at least one of each type of vending machine provided to meet the operable-parts rules in section 309, which includes the 15 to 48 inch reach range, so on-screen controls you must touch should sit in that band. In 2022 the US Access Board noted that many vending machines are now essentially self-service transaction machines with touch-screen input and opened rulemaking on their accessibility. KioskForce builds to the requirement you specify; confirm the rules with your own advisers.

Who installs and services a touch screen vending machine bought from KioskForce?

On-site installation is optional. It is done by your own contractor or, in some regions, provided through a local distributor, and where a local distributor supplied the machine it also handles warranty and service. KioskForce supports buyers by email and ships spare parts, including screens, controller boards and vend motors, against the machine’s model and serial number.
