Dixie Narco Model 276E 12 Oz — Dixie Narco 276E Soda Vending Machine – 7-Selection Can & Bottle Vendor
This Dixie Narco Model 276E 12 Oz — the Dixie Narco 276E soda vending machine is a full-size, front-load beverage vendor built to move cold drinks in offices, gyms, laundromats, and break rooms where floor space is limited but volume still matters. Its seven columns each vend independently, so you can price and stock every selection differently — 12 oz cans in one, 20 oz bottles in the next — without buying separate machines.
This unit ships refurbished: tested, cleaned, and route-ready with a Pepsi Blast bottle wrap. The 276E is prized by operators for its wide product flexibility. Twelve-ounce cans stack three deep per column for up to 48 cans each, while 16 oz and 20 oz bottles stack two deep for up to 28 bottles per column, giving a headline capacity of roughly 336 cans or 196 bottles depending on how you configure the seven selections.
Unlike the small countertop or mechanical machines that many first-time operators start with, the 276E is a genuine commercial cabinet: it makes change, accepts dollar bills out of the box, and holds enough product that you are not driving back to refill after every few sales. That is the whole point of running a full-size drink machine — you spend most of your time getting to the location, so you may as well arrive to a machine that can hold hundreds of units and gross a meaningful amount between visits.

About Dixie Narco
Dixie Narco has been one of the most widely deployed beverage-vending brands in North America for decades and is now part of Crane Payment Innovations / Crane Merchandising Systems. Its can and bottle vendors earned a reputation for simple mechanics, durable refrigeration decks, and easy field service — which is exactly why so many 276E cabinets are still earning on routes today and why parts and know-how remain easy to source.
The 276E specifically was engineered to handle the industry’s shift from cans to 20 oz plastic bottles, which is why the same seven columns accept everything from a 12 oz can to a tall PET bottle with only a setting change.
Where the 276E Earns
With a 30-inch width and a straightforward seven-selection layout, the 276E fits locations that want cold drinks but can’t spare the footprint of an 8- or 10-wide machine: small offices, medical and dental waiting areas, gyms, laundromats, auto shops, and self-serve car washes. A location that turns its stock even a couple of times a week typically justifies the machine quickly, and because a single fill can hold hundreds of drinks you spend far less time driving between service visits than you would running a countertop unit.
