All right. What's up everybody? Adam Hillbending. In this video, we're going to be going over two smart coolers. The Haha smart cooler and the Micro Smart Smart Cooler. So, I'm going to jump into uh the prices, the features, um what's the differences, what I think, so you're educated. Okay. So, let's jump right into it.
If you don't know what I'm talking about, if you don't know what cooler I'm talking about, let's pull that up right now. So, as you can see, this is the haha cooler. Okay, this is from China. Here it is. They have, you know, small, medium, large. They have freezers. They have double door coolers. Um, let me see if I can get this chatbot out of the way. There you go. Okay, they've got the mini. Again, you can go on there and look if you want to order. I have as of now the the cheapest price um I'm selling them at the cheapest price in North America. Besides that, I don't care. Go anywhere and buy it. But these are the coolers, right?
So that compared to this, this is the micro mart. Okay, one of these. So, this is three Micro Marts right here, which the name MicroMart, you know, should have picked another name because a Micro Mart is what you think of with a kiosk and a checkout and coolers, but they called it Micro Mart. Um, so one of these, this one right here, this is $21,000 in setup. One is $7,000. So, this one, there's 1 2 3 7,000 each. You get a screen up top. We'll get into the features in a minute, but this is just the fridge. Okay, so let's compare apples to apples, right? Let's compare the Pro, the the Haha cooler, the Pro that cost the lowest available in North America is $4,300. Okay, $4,300. The similar one, which is the the Micro Mart. This is I wish I could zoom out. Let me see if I can zoom out here so you guys can see this. 7,000. This is $7,000. One of these is $7,000. So again, 21,000 for three of them.
Um, let's go. Let's start with the haha. So fees. So we know the overall price of them. You know, shipping, sales tax is going to depend on where you're at XYZ. With this cooler, with the haha cooler, there is a a $15, they call it SAS fee, app fee. There's a $15 cellular network, and there's a $10 a month. This is monthly, $10 a month uh terminal fee. So, that equals $40 a month. You can get that down to $25 a month. If you attach a router to the machine, you can get down to 25 a month. You can eliminate the cell fee, the 15 a month. Okay. On top of that, they have a nickel 5 cent per every transaction they take for AI recognition. Okay? And you have 5.95% which is the transaction like Cantaloupe Nyak. FYI, if you need NYX or Cantaloupe card readers, promo code hill vending saves you money at checkout. So, those are the fees for Haha. Again, watch this back if you need to. $40 a month flat fees. You can get that down to 25 if you add a router and connect to the Wi-Fi at the location. Don't know if that's how how great that is. If the Wi-Fi has to be a certain speed and they have the 5 cent per jack per transaction and the 5.95%. Okay. Now, and it's uh what was it? 4,300. $4,300 for that machine for the Pro. Okay.
Now, let's compare apples to apples. Let's go back over here to the micro mark. A way to think about this cuz I saw them both live. I have the haha, but I saw this at the Nama show. The micro market is think of it like uh like a BMW or upper echelon sedan, right? The MicroMart is definitely a better looking machine. Okay, you you get a screen. Let's wait before we get into the features. It's definitely a better looking machine, right? But the cost on that is $7,000. Now, the monthly fees as of now, again, this is May 2025. They may change. I don't know. I'm just telling you what that is right now, is $60 per month per device. Okay? $60 a month flat fee plus 4% transaction fee. So, that's lower than the 5.95 from Haha, but your monthly expense is higher, $60 per month. Okay. They both have apps. They both have where you can set it. Um, so what are So you're talking $4,300 to $7,000, right? $4,300 to $7,000 is going to be that price difference.
Now, what are you getting for that? You're getting the screen, which I don't think they have any ads on there right now. Um, but you can do custom videos like it's showing right here, which is looks great. You could do it branded for the car dealership or wherever it is. Um, the micro mark cooler has three cameras, one in each corner, one down at the bottom. And they have something cool that Let me see if I can zoom in on this. Um, you know, your terminal right here. Let me see if I can zoom in. Perfect. So, you see these price labels right here? these price labels where the Coke is. This is like a Kindle display. You can change the prices from your phone, right? So, those are all they're not they're not um permanent. You can change them from you could go in right now and change this to $3 or $1 on your phone. Now, you'll be saying, "Why would I do that? Why would I need to do that?" You can run promotions, right? If you're doing fresh food, if you have salads in there and it's about the time out, you could, you know, 50% off just to get rid of the salads. That's a nice feature. So, again, when we're talking about differentiators, right, it's a uh minus40 cooler, I think, which is a great brand. There's nothing wrong there. So, you're getting a screen, you're getting the updated uh or the Kindle kind of price labels, the cooler, you know, good brand. That's all. I think the the warranty I have to find out about the warranty. I'm not 100% on that. I know on the haha it's one year and I believe the micro market's longer. Okay.
So, the micro the haha is a Honda Civic and this is a BMW. Okay. Your oil changes are going to be a little bit more. So, this is entry level. Nothing wrong with it so far. But if you're looking for like a wow factor, then this if you're looking to do fresh food, you can't do you could do fresh food in these coolers, but you can't change the prices, right? I mean, you can do it on the interface, but it it doesn't look the same. So, for $2,700 more, you have to decide if a screen, the extra camera, the display is worth it. Okay? So, if you have questions, drop them in the comments below. But as of now, those are uh the differences that I see in those two coolers. The only thing I didn't touch on, which I'll have to get information on, is the warranties. Okay. I know Haha's one year. I'm not sure what what this one is. Um, again, in financing, I believe Micro Mart will do something with financing, whereas Haha doesn't really have anything set up. I believe depending on the location, MicroMart would do zero down. You know, obviously they're going to charge interest and they're going to get get something on it. But you just have to decide, do you want to go this route or do you want to go the cheaper route, the cheaper fees with a router on the haha, you're paying $25 a month, $5.95%. 4% on the micro mark, $60 a month, but it's $2,700. You could look, you could look and think of it as possibly going forward on this display here. Could you sell some ads to generate some more revenue to cover that? I don't know.
Again, the micro the whole cooler thing is an arms race right now. We don't know who's going to win yet. Uh we're trying out the haha cooler. I'd love to try out the micro market. Maybe they'll send send me one or maybe I'll buy one. But at Nama, there's a bunch of different coolers. There's tons of coolers out there right now. So, we'll see which one wins. But, um, definitely a lot of innovation going on with the coolers. Again, if you need to save, save with your card readers, Cantaloupe or NY. Promo code hill vending.
