Hello,

I am doing some research for my work on what accessible vending machines options are out there and figured it would be worth seeing if anyone on this list has some leads. Does anyone know of any particular models that are more accessible than average? Similarly, are there any exceptionally inaccessible ones to avoid? We currently have a snack and drink machine at each of our locations, with not all locations having the same models.
While both at my worksite can be operated with keypads there have been complaints from associates having difficulty using the machines non-visually. My supervisor is open to other types of machines as well if there is say a super accessible coffee or food machine that we could add as an additional option.

Thank you in advance,
