Why should I choose Pre-owned Taylor machine over other brands when pricing of pre-owned Taylor brand is similar to a new machine of a different brand?
Taylor has set the pace in the food service industry since 1920’s and has successfully gained its status as the industry standard for soft serve machines. It continues to be the most widely used and trusted brand for frozen yogurt and ice cream shops, including today’s leading frozen yogurt franchises. In addition, Taylor machines are the only ones that are viscosity-controlled rather than temperature-controlled, which means the consistency of your product is far superior to other brands. Lastly, Taylor equipment’s simple operational features and a strong worldwide service support system continue to make it the most widely recognized brand in the food and dessert industry.

I want to purchase a pre-owned Taylor machine. What is the typical lead time to receive the machine?
It typically takes 4-8 weeks to receive the machine after order is placed. 50% deposit is required at the time of order.

How much do pre-owned Taylor machines cost?
Exact price vary depending on model, year and cost of refurbishment. Prices generally run about $6,000 - $ 10,000, which is 40-50% less than brand new Taylor machines. This option is especially beneficial for self-serve locations that require multiple (4+) soft serve machines.

What are the benefits of purchasing pre-owned Taylor machines compared to brand new ones?
Although new machines are nicer on the outside, there is very little difference on how the product is created and frozen once inside the machine. Also, because Taylor machines are strictly distributed according to region, there is no fixed retail price on these machines, which means one region may charge a lot more for the same machine compared to another. For example, one Taylor dealer in CA may charge $14,000 for one model while another dealer in NY can charge $19,000 for the same machine. On the other hand, because our machines are pre-owned, we are able to ship our machines anywhere across the country and even outside U.S. without being confined by such regional restrictions.

Can I purchase a pre-owned Taylor machine from out-of-state or country?
Yes. Unlike brand new Taylor machines, we are able to redistribute our pre-owned machines outside the region and even outside U.S. However, buyer is responsible for shipping costs. Shipping rates vary depending on destination and carrier. Please see associate for more details.
