Yup its fishy enough.
RM9388 looks like the cheapest i can find on star classified, i hv been thinking about this since sometime ago. First i saw another brand cost RM35k O.o" after a while i saw another one 10k cheaper, later i saw one cost 'only' RM13k and then finally this one...
It will be like paying this lum sum, then the company will help you service the water filter and so on. Also you need to give like 30% of your income to them...
But seriously, diamond water filter can rent for only RM2 per day, rather open up a counter selling diamond water...

they charge 30% and take care of the water filter for me. Ok what. You need to change the carbon filter like once every 2 weeks.
But there are like 8 vending machine near my office, the competition is huge now, not really worth to dump 10k like that. Seriously you never know what you are drinking, perhaps no different then water from a RM100+ nasional filter!
1) Diamond water filter is a whole house water filter. It is not a drinking water filter. So, it cannot be used for this purpose.
2) RO water filter supposed to very good and is a drinking water filter. But, I do not know. I alway boil my water. It is better to be safe than sorry with Malaysian water.
3) A complete RO water filter is around RM 1K to 3K. Carbon filter , sediment filter and those stuff are not expensive. The most expensive part of the RO filter is the membrance filter which normally you change once per year (household usage). That maybe goes up to RM800 each.
So, what am I saying here??
A) If a reasonable price is charged on the water vending machine and you get reasonable amount of business, it might be worthwhile.
B) It looks like at this moment, there is serious amount of markup versus what is actually costs to make and maintain the vending machine.
