Which Lean Machine is right for you?
Most Popular Machine
Our Most Popular Machine is stocked with all-around crowd pleasers and has something for everyone. We place a major emphasis on carrying unprocessed food like nuts, low-fat jerk, yogurt, organic milk, soy milk and fruit juices. On top of that, we research and taste-test all of our products to ensure you get the most delicious and nutritious snacks on earth! Other vendors, even those who claim to be "healthy", usually carry over-processed, artificially flavored, high-markup products that help line their own bottom line, and not much else. We carry only the highest-quality name-brand products and always keep our prices low!
This machine is great for offices, medical facilities, airports, zoos, churches or just about anywhere!
SB-19 Kid's Machine
This machine is designed especially for K-12 schools. All of the products comply with SB-19 nutritional requirements set by the State of California, but which have been adopted by many school districts. Of course, we understand that kids won't eat healthier food if it doesn't appeal to them, so we provide plenty of good, nutritious stuff with "kid friendly" packaging. We will be happy to work within your own school, or school district guidelines in terms of nutritional requirements, ingredients and product line-up!
Highschool/College Machine
Depending upon your individual requirements, this machine will likely be very similar to the Most Popular Machine, with something for every taste. Depending upon your needs, we may include products that appeal more to the "young" adult crowd, but which never compromise our commitment to offer only healthy products. These may include low-sugar "alternative" energy drinks, microwavable meals and beef jerky!
Sports Nutrition Machine
We realize that gyms and health clubs will likely have very specific product requirements. We will be more than happy to work with you to carry exactly the product and brand you need. From pre or post-workout supplements, to MRP's and protein shakes, we've got you covered!
Choose-Your-Own Machine
Of course, we'll always be happy to work with you on product selection, but if you have special requirements that you'd like us to address, we can create a custom plan-o-gram especially for you. Maybe you'd like to have an all-vegetarian/vegan machine or more gluten-free or sodium-free products. Whatever your needs are, we'll be happy to work with you to create your own Lean Machine!
If you'd like more information or have any questions at all, please give us a call at (206) 395-VEND (8363) or contact us via our contact page! Hope to hear from you soon!

Our Promise To You!
We Promise To...
Provide top notch service
Lean Machines Healthy Vending is a relatively new company that is 110% dedicated to proving ourselves and showing that we mean business! We will go above and beyond to provide you with the best vending service in the industry. If you are unhappy with your current vending service provider, or just want an extra degree of professional courtesy, please contact us about installing a Lean Machine at your office or workplace!
Use new, high-tech machines
I'm personally a total tech geek. I want the newest stuff with all the bells and whistles, so hopefully you do too! Our vendors are the best on the market! We use the newest model USI combo snack/drink machines loaded with high-tech features such as infra-red laser delivery assurance sensors from iVend, credit card readers and even remote inventory and diagnostics monitoring systems!
Support local businesses
Whenever possible we sell local products, made from local produce, purchased through local wholesalers. We sincerely believe in giving back to our community and helping the neighbors who help us! That said, we carry delicious products made outside the Northwest as well, but we are always striving to find great stuff here at home!
Keep prices low
We realize that healthier food is not always as cheap as candy and soda. This is usually because candy and soda use modified "fake" sugars, fats and artificial flavors and chemicals such as MSG in the place of real, high-quality ingredients that simply taste good on their own. Despite this, we do everything we can to keep our prices low and comparable to what you'd find at supermarkets and convenience stores.
Sell only healthy products
Our name is Lean Machines Healthy Vending for a reason. We are dedicated to offering healthier choices and great alternatives to traditional candy machines. Even the potato chips we carry are low-calorie, low-fat and free of artificial flavors, trans fats, GMO's and gluten.
Improve our community
No, we haven't gotten too big for our britches...we realize that we are just a little vending company and we can't make a huge difference, but that won't stop us from trying! Whenever we can buy from local producers, partner with local companies, donate time or money to local charities or give back to our community in any way, we will!
Use "green" technology
Speaking of giving back to our community, from energy efficient vending machines to recycled paper for our promotional material, we try to keep it "green" whenever possible! We are currently in the process of retro-fitting all of our machines with energy-efficient LED lighting!

High-tech Vending Machines - Not Your Grandpa's Vendors!
The vending industry has been very slow to react to tech-trends and changes in consumer eating habits. Consider that most vending machines in use today feature basically the same product selection, look and features (or lack thereof) of vending machines from 20-30 years ago. In fact, many vending machine operators still use old, out-dated machines from the 70's and 80's...and boy do they look like it!
Fortunately, I am very picky about design and I'm an absolute tech-geek who loves fancy new gadgets (especially anything involving infra-red lasers or remote data transfer via wireless networks). Lucky for me, in the past few years, the vending industry has begun to make accommodations for such features. This means all of our Lean Machines are loaded with cool stuff such as:
If that's still not enough for you, consider our amazing line-up of delicious, nutritious and popular products and you've really got a winning combination! If you'd like a Lean Machine vendor installed at your workplace please contact us to get started!

| Note the boxy design, dirty glass, the liberal use of faux metal trim and not-quite-black-yet-not-quite-brown color pallet. This machine lacks the classy faux wood trim found on some very old machines, but still manages to tell both clients and employees, "we don't care!" |
Fortunately, I am very picky about design and I'm an absolute tech-geek who loves fancy new gadgets (especially anything involving infra-red lasers or remote data transfer via wireless networks). Lucky for me, in the past few years, the vending industry has begun to make accommodations for such features. This means all of our Lean Machines are loaded with cool stuff such as:
- Debit/Credit Card Readers: Just swipe your card and start making selections! Simple as that! No more flattening and fumbling with small bills or digging around for change!
- Remote Inventory Monitoring: Newer vending machines feature the ability to transmit inventory and accounting data to small hand-held devices which are plugged into a special port inside the machine. Our machines take this one step further. The same network topology used to send secure payment data is also used to send the vending machine's DEX file, which keeps track of the machine's inventory and any error messages or malfunctions recorded. We are able to access this data remotely via computers, laptops and even cell phones. If inventory gets low on a certain product, or your machine is malfunctioning for some reason, we will be on top of it right away!
- Infra-Red Vend Assurance Sensors from iVend™: You're familiar with the laser security systems featured in many action movies, right? Well this is kinda like that, except instead of detecting intruders, the iVend™ infra-red laser system detects products. If you pay for a product, and the sensors don't detect that it's fallen into the delivery tray, the system will attempt to vend the product again. If the product isn't detected after the second attempt, your money will be returned and the iVend™ system will tell the machine to consider this product sold out and disable vending for this selection. The machine will remotely notify us of the problem and we will come out to correct it asap.
- High-Quality Machines: While not the most luxurious or exciting feature, having the newest, highest-quality vendors in the industry is very important! In addition to looking amazing, these machines are second-to-none in build-quality. This means they will be very reliable, energy efficient and hassle-free!
- Gorgeous Custom Graphics: We looked at A LOT of vending machine graphics...and I mean A LOT! We searched far and wide for attractive graphics that would look great in any environment without being cheesy or gimmicky. We didn't find any. Every graphic we found was either downright ugly, or looked like a giant billboard with cheesy tag lines, ugly colors and bad graphics! So we designed our own! We sincerely believe these are the best looking machines in the industry (and we should know!)
 |
| Now THAT is a vending machine! USI model VT5000 with nice modern lines, beautiful photo instead of cheesy computer-generated graphics, very simple text...not to mention all the high-tech features under the hood! |
If that's still not enough for you, consider our amazing line-up of delicious, nutritious and popular products and you've really got a winning combination! If you'd like a Lean Machine vendor installed at your workplace please contact us to get started!
