What are (were) the BreakMate selling features?
[permalink id=231]According to marketing materials and the L2 Manual, the BreakMate had a number of features for it's time with the system being called "compact and lightweight" (remember, this was 1980s-1990s). Other features included:
- a Plug-In Syrup System (although, now discontinued, you must refill your own syrup bottles/cartridges)
- a Plug-In CO2 Cylinder/Tank (again, now most CO2 suppliers no longer have the refill adapter - most people will convert their systems to use regular CO2 tanks (see our how-to, coming soon)
- a minature high pressure water pump
- a stainless steel carbonator with removable top
- pre-set syrup valves (no adjustments necessary)
- electronic controls with built-in diagnostics system
- plumbed, filtered water supply for consistent high-quality drink
- optional coin-mechanism for vending - that can also be set to vend for free
- optional advanced coin-mechanism allowing for pricing to be altered from 5 cents to $1.55
- optional 6.5 or 10oz drink size / cup size (standard is 3.5oz and 6.5oz)
- an internal leak sensor and automatic water shut-off
- optional "WaterMate" attachment - so you don't need to connect the system directly to a water line
