PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vending machine capable of preventing reduction of the energy efficiency of the vending machine during heating operation.SOLUTION: A vending machine 100 includes: an outdoor heat exchanger 22 disposed outside of a machine room 7 to function as an evaporator to absorb the heat from the outdoor by evaporating a coolant during heating operation; a compressor 21 disposed outside the machine room 7 to compress the coolant; an outdoor fan 71 capable of blowing outdoor air in a forward direction (A direction) flowing from the outdoor heat exchanger 22 to the compressor 21 and in an inverse direction (B direction) flowing from the compressor 21 to the outdoor heat exchanger 22. The vending machine 100 is adapted to blow the outdoor air in the inverse direction when the outdoor temperature is equal to or lower than a threshold value during heating operation by driving the compressor 21. |
