Dixie Narco 276E Drink Vending Machine – Refurbished Can & Bottle Vendor
The Dixie Narco 276E drink vending machine is a professionally refurbished cold-drink vendor that packs seven product selections into a slim 28-inch-wide cabinet. It vends 12 oz cans, 16 oz bottles, and 20 oz bottles from the same stack-load columns, so a single machine can cover sodas, water, sports drinks, and energy drinks at one stop. For operators who want serious beverage capacity without a full 37-inch soda machine footprint, the narrow-cabinet 276E is one of the most placement-friendly can and bottle vendors Dixie Narco ever built.
Each of the seven columns holds product stacked in depth — roughly 48 twelve-ounce cans or 28 sixteen/twenty-ounce bottles per column — for a total capacity of up to 336 cans or 196 bottles depending on how the machine is set up. The 276E is multi-price capable, letting you charge a different price per selection so premium bottles and value cans can sit side by side. A rebuilt MDB coin mechanism, MDB dollar bill acceptor, and DEX audit interface come standard on this refurbished unit, giving you accurate accounting and a straightforward path to add a modern card reader.

Key Features
- Seven-selection flexibility: load different can and bottle products in each of the 7 columns to match what your location actually buys.
- True narrow cabinet: at just 28 inches wide, the 276E fits doorways, alcoves, and tight breakrooms where a standard 37-inch soda machine won’t go.
- Cans and bottles from one machine: stack-loaded columns handle 12 oz cans plus 16 oz and 20 oz bottles without separate equipment.
- Multi-price selling: set an independent price on every selection to protect margin on premium drinks.
- MDB payment stack: rebuilt coin mech and bill acceptor read cash reliably, and the MDB harness accepts a plug-in credit-card reader when you’re ready.
- DEX accountability: pull sales and inventory data for clean route accounting.
About Dixie Narco
Dixie Narco is one of the most recognized names in American beverage vending, having built soda and can machines that populated offices, factories, and roadside stops across the country for decades. The brand and its cold-drink product line are now part of Crane Payment & Merchandising (Crane Merchandising Systems). Dixie Narco machines like the 276E earned their reputation on rugged refrigeration decks and simple, serviceable mechanics — which is exactly why they remain a favorite platform for refurbishment. You can learn more about the brand’s corporate lineage at Crane Payment & Merchandising.
Where the 276E Earns
The 276E is built for medium-traffic, space-conscious spots. Its 28-inch width makes it a natural fit for offices and corporate breakrooms, apartment and condo common rooms, small gyms and fitness studios, auto shops, laundromats, and waiting areas where a wider machine simply won’t fit. With up to 336 cans of capacity across seven selections, one unit can typically go several days between service visits at a moderate-volume account before restocking is needed. Pair it with a snack machine to build a compact combo location, and use the multi-price feature to lift margin on bottled water and energy drinks. Actual sales and restock frequency vary by location and product mix.
Condition & What Refurbished Means
This Dixie Narco 276E is sold professionally refurbished, not new. In our shop that means the machine is cleaned inside and out, the refrigeration deck is tested for proper cooling, the coin mechanism and bill acceptor are rebuilt to MDB spec, and the vend and pricing functions are verified before it ships. Refurbished Dixie Narco units are covered by our 1-year limited parts-and-service warranty (replacement parts, labor, and remote technical support for U.S. customers), versus the 2-year tier on new machines.

Dixie Narco 276E – Frequently Asked Questions
How many selections does the Dixie Narco 276E have?
Seven. The 276E has 7 stack-load columns, each of which can be set to its own price, so you can run up to seven different can or bottle products at once.
How many drinks does it hold?
Up to 336 twelve-ounce cans, or up to about 196 sixteen/twenty-ounce bottles, depending on how the columns are configured for cans versus bottles.
Does it take credit cards, or can a Nayax reader be added?
The refurbished 276E ships with rebuilt MDB coin and bill acceptors for cash. Because it uses a standard MDB harness, a plug-in card reader such as a Nayax cashless unit can be added so it accepts tap, chip, and mobile pay.
What power does it need?
A standard 115V, 60 Hz wall outlet (roughly 10.5 amps). No special electrical service is required.
Will it fit through a standard door?
Yes — at 28 inches wide the 276E is a narrow-cabinet machine and clears most standard 30- to 32-inch doorways, one of its biggest advantages over full-width soda machines.
Is this machine new or refurbished?
This unit is professionally refurbished — cleaned, cooling-tested, and with rebuilt MDB payment hardware — and carries our 1-year limited refurbished warranty.
How is it delivered?
By freight with free continental-U.S. shipping, curbside delivery, dispatched 1–2 business days after payment. See our Shipping Policy for details.
