FAQ - Residential

Question: What do you do for the price of the rental?
I will deliver the machine(s) you request to your location, set up the machine(s), and show you or anyone you wish how to operate and mix the product. I will pick up the equipment after your event at the most convenient time. I also leave written instructions for mixing and operating.

Question: Do you require a deposit?
No.

Question: How do I reserve a rental?
You can either call me (702 290-2524) or send an email with your name, address, contact person and best phone number, dates, and types and quantity of mixes you want. I will follow up with an email back with a draft of the rental agreement for your reference. With no deposit, there is also no charge for a cancellation.

Question: How do I pay?
I accept cash and personal or company checks. I do not do credit cards. Payment is at time of delivery.

Question: What do I put the machine on?
You will need a sturdy table or countertop for placement. A single machine will weigh about 100 lbs loaded and a two tank machine will weigh about 200 lbs. Typically a kitchen countertop works perfectly well, but they will NOT fit under an overhead cabinet. I can provide a 6' long convention table for your use without charge if it is available.

Question: What about electrical requirements?
For single machines any standard 15 amp 110 volt circuit will work. For a double machine, a 20 amp circuit is required. I can provide a 25' long heavy duty extension cord without charge if you need it, if it is available.

Question: What size are the machines?
A single machine is about 10" wide, 24" deep and 36" tall. The double machine is about 17" wide 24" deep and 36" tall.

Question: How long does it take to freeze?
At normal room temperatures, it takes about one hour to freeze a standard batch of mix.

Question: Can I use the machine outside?
This is a tricky question. You can indeed use the machines outside, but I don't guarantee the freezing capability of the machine when used outside due to the extremes of temperatures in Las Vegas. Best results can be obtained when keeping the machine in the shade and covering or wrapping the clear tank to prevent heating. Normal caution should be used to avoid electrical shock conditions by not allowing the power cords to come in contact with water.

Question: How much alcohol do I need?
To make a bar strength drink, 5 cups of your liquor of choice are needed for a normal 2.5 gallon charge. However, if you don't want to measure, using a liter bottle of your liquor of choice for each bottle of mix will be pretty close.

Question: Can I save and reuse left over mix?
Yes. If you use no alcohol, you should definitely refrigerate or freeze remaining diluted mix. For unused concentrate, reseal and refrigerate the remaining mix, which should last several months. For diluted mix that contains alcohol, you should still refrigerate the diluted mix, but no bacterial growth will occur because of the alcohol. I have stored unrefrigerated mix with alcohol in it for over a year with no ill effects.
