A countertop machine fits a cafe, snack bar, food truck or concession stand where floor space is short. The single-flavor models start around 5 quarts an hour and suit a stall that serves one base flavor, while the two-hopper models with a twist spout reach 20 to 44 quarts an hour. Most run on a standard 110 to 120 V outlet, though the commercial Spaceman models need a 208 to 230 V circuit. Leave room behind and beside the machine for the condenser to breathe.
