What’s a 20 Amp 110 Volt Dedicated Circuit?

The electricity is the most important variable that the client supplies, “110 Volt” refer to the electricity in standard outlets.  “20 Amp” refers to the size of the breaker that turns the outlet you will be using on and off at your breaker box.  Breakers are individually labeled with their amperage.  A 15 Amp breaker will not be sufficient.  “Dedicated Circuit” means that there are NOT other large electrical appliances or heavy amperage draw items (microwave, air conditioner, refrigerator) on the same breaker.  These items take away electricity that the margarita machines need and could damage them, make them freeze slower, or not at all.  The machine can not be set up further than 18 feet from the outlet with the 15 foot extension cord provided.

Yields:  The traditional 5-gallon mix yields approximately 70 8oz drinks.  We supply 10 oz. Cups and recommend small cups should be used.  Large cups may cause the machine to freeze up and not be able to keep up with the demand of the party.  It also leads to waste as people hold the drinks until they melt, pour them out and get a refill.
