Royal 650 Drink Vending Machine – Merlin IV, 10 Selection, Outdoor-Rated

Royal 650 drink machine (Merlin IV): Outdoor-Ready 10-Selection Cold Beverage Vendor The Royal 650 drink machine, also sold under the Merlin IV name, is a full-size cold beverage vendor engineered for dependable operation in both indoor and outdoor locations. It offers 10 selections spread across 12 columns, so an operator can double up on two strong sellers while still carrying a full lineup of cans and bottles. A product-drop delivery system confirms each vend electronically — the customer either receives the drink they selected or gets their money back, which cuts down on service calls and complaints. Built by Royal Vendors and made in the USA, the 650 vends 12oz and 16oz cans (including tall 16oz Monster Energy cans), 16.9oz bottles, and 20oz bottles without any shims, rods, or column conversion kits. Space-to-sales programming lets you match column counts to demand, and multi-pricing means each selection can carry its own price. The cabinet is vandal-resistant and the machine is approved for outdoor use, making it a practical fit for exposed, high-traffic sites where a standard indoor vendor would not survive.

Where This Machine Earns With its outdoor rating and large 648-can capacity, the Royal 650 is a strong fit for sites where drink demand is steady but conditions are tough: car washes, gas stations, apartment and mobile-home communities, manufacturing floors, warehouses, parks and recreation areas, and covered breezeways. Indoors it works well in break rooms, gyms, laundromats, and lobbies that need a high-capacity single-vendor solution. Because it holds up to 10 selections and multi-prices each one, operators can typically carry a mix of soda, water, energy drinks, and sports drinks in one footprint and adjust pricing per product as costs move.

It offers 10 selections across 12 columns, so you can double up on two high-volume drinks while still stocking a full lineup. How many drinks does it hold? Up to 648 12oz cans, or roughly 288 bottles depending on package size and space-to-sales settings. Can it take credit cards or a Nayax reader? Yes. The 650 ships MDB-ready, so a cashless reader such as a Cantaloupe ePort or Nayax VPOS Touch can be added for tap and card payments. What power does it need? A standard 115 VAC @ 15 amp outlet — no special electrical service required. Will it fit through a standard door? At 37″ wide it clears most 36″ commercial doorways; measure a standard 32″ residential door before delivery, as the machine may need to go in at an angle or via a wider entrance. Is it new or refurbished? Refurbished units are fully tested, cleaned, and preconfigured before shipping; contact us to confirm the exact condition of current inventory. Can it really go outside? Yes — the 650 is outdoor-approved with a vandal-resistant cabinet, which is why it is a favorite for car washes and gas stations. See our Buyers Guide for placement tips.
