Customer from US

Mike runs a self-service car wash in California, USA. The car wash business is very competitive. Profits are getting smaller. He wanted to add something new. Something that does not need workers but still makes money. One day, he saw a video on YouTube. Someone was using a dog washing vending machine to make money.

He immediately searched Google for “dog washing vending machine wholesale”. Then he found Foodline’s website. The website was clear: factory direct, wholesale from 3 units. Mike contacted Leon. Leon replied quickly and gave a good price.

In August 2025, he bought 3 dog washing vending machines from Foodline. He put them next to his car wash, connected water and power; it took 30 minutes. Customers paid $6 to wash their dogs, and the machines worked alone, 24 hours a day. After 5 months, Mike got back all his money. Later, he bought 2 more pro units. He rented the advertising screen to a nearby pet hospital. That gave him an extra $150 per month.

Mike’s Real Comments

Mike shared three things he likes most:

  • No need to hire workers – The machine works 24/7 and takes payments by itself.
  • Low cost – Electricity and water cost less than $0.50 per dog wash.
  • Good after-sales – He had one problem with a button. Leon sent a free replacement and helped him fix it by video.

His customers also gave good feedback:

“I used to pay 80 to wash my golden retriever at a pet salon.Here it′s only 6. It helps me save so much money.” – Sarah

“I can wash my dog at 10pm. That’s really convenient.” – David, a cook

“The water is warm. The dryer is comfortable. My corgi is not scared.” – Linda

Product FAQ in the US

Will the machine freeze in winter?

The machine has a heater that keeps water warm. It works above 0°C. For colder areas, you can add extra insulation.

Do dog owners make a mess with water?

No. The tub is high and stops splashing. You can put a rubber mat in front to keep the area dry.

How do I refill the shampoo and other liquids?

Open the front door, and you will see five containers. Just pour in more liquid. The Pro model shows liquid levels on the APP.

What if the machine breaks?

We offer a 12-month warranty. Send spare parts for free, and also provide video guides to help you fix small problems.

Can I change the wash price?

Yes. You can change the price per minute in the background system. Also, set a fixed price per wash.

Why Did Mike Choose Foodline Over Others?

Mike compared three Chinese factories and two local US suppliers. He chose Foodline for simple reasons:

  • Lowest price – Factory direct. No middleman.
  • 3 units minimum – Small business owners can get wholesale price.
  • Fast communication – Leon replies quickly. No long waiting.
  • Stable quality – In over 6 months, only one button failed.
  • Honest after-sales – Free spare parts. Video guidance. No excuses.

Mike’s own words: “I chose Foodline for three reasons: good price, 3-unit minimum, and they really help with after-sales.”
