Over the years, I’ve tested many soft serve machines — from low-cost Chinese models to high-end European brands. Each one has its strengths, but Nissei stands apart.
The Japanese approach is simple: design it once, design it right. A Nissei machine is built for reliability. Pasteurization, piston pumps for perfect overrun, and the famous 6-week cleaning cycle mean you can serve without worrying about breakdowns or endless cleaning.
Yes, a Nissei costs more than most alternatives. But that difference is not an expense — it’s insurance. Insurance that your business won’t stop on a busy summer day. Insurance that you won’t spend staff hours on daily sanitation. Insurance that your guests will always get consistent, high-quality soft serve.
I still work with Pasmo, Spaceman, and other brands — they have their place, especially for start-ups. But when I see a serious operator who wants to build for the long run, my advice is always the same: go for the machine that won’t let you down. That’s Nissei.
